Chapter 216


    "Tell me, what will Grace think if she finds out the truth someday?" Grandfather said.


    Jason suddenly smiled, but his eyes were cold. "She''ll never know the truth."


    Master Reed grunted. "Do you think that''s possible? Now that I know, I''m sure one day, she''ll also..."


    He did not get to finish his sentence before he was interrupted by Jason. "She''ll never know. Right,


    Grandfather?"


    His cold voice spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear. Master Reed saw a threatening


    sh in his grandson''s eyes.


    This grandson of his even dared to threaten him for the sake of a woman? An uneasy feeling welled up


    in Grandfather''s heart.


    Would it be true that in the future, his grandson would not be controlled by a woman?


    Could things get worse?


    -


    Over the weekend, Grace rode the bus to the hospital where her grandmother was being treated.


    Grandmother''s ward, however, was crowded with rtives. When they saw Grace, their faces were


    filled with all sorts of expressions.


    Especially her first uncle, second uncle, third aunt, and their families. They looked at Grace with fear


    and hatred.

    If this pack were to turn on her right now, they could tear her to shreds.


    Grace did not bother to know what was on their minds. All she cared about was her grandmother''s


    illness.


    "Grace," her grandmother looked at Grace and called out with some difficulty. "Come here, let me take


    a good look at you."


    Grace walked over to her bedside and took her hand. "Grandmother."


    "I know, I''m sorry you had to go through all that." Grandmother''s eyes began to moisten.


    "I just want you to get better, Grandmother," Grace said.


    Her third aunt, who was beside them, could not help butin, "Mom, just what did she go


    through? We''re the ones who had to go through all that, okay! We were locked up for so long..."


    "You''re the one to talk!" Her grandmother red at her third aunt.


    Her aunt seemed to refuse to obey and wanted to say something else but was stopped by the other


    rtives. Several other rtives helped ease the mood. The topic was over.


    Her grandmother took Grace by the hand and talked a lot. However, since she was still ill, it was not


    long before she grew tired.


    The nurse came in and told everyone to leave so that the patient could rest.


    Outside the ward, some of her rtives left first. Grace''s grandfather, Old Mr. Kelleigh, said, "Although


    your grandmother''s illness is just dragging on, the medical expenses still cost a lot of money. How


    about this? All of you spread it out, and everyone can just contribute a fraction of it."


    Her first uncle, second uncle, third aunt, and their families seemed to have known about this all along.


    They all looked at Grace at once.
