Grace had already driven the car to the small villa. She placed the food she had brought on the coffee table and
felt much more at ease seeing Ed sleeping so
peacefully.
She nudged him gently. "Get up and eat something, then you can go back to sleep. I'm coming over every day
for the next three days. If you don't get at least ten hours of sleep a day, | will be upset."
It seemed that his fever had broken. Slowly, he pushed himself upright.
Grace, ever mindful, turned her back. "I won't look at you, okay? Turn on the small lamp too you can't be eating
in the dark."
He reached out, grabbing her hand as he bent down to switch on the small lamp. The light was dim but enough
to cast a soft glow over the food.
He insisted on freeing one hand to hold hers, using the other to eat unhurriedly.
The red bead bracelets on their wrists dangled and brushed against each other, creating an inexplicably
heartwarming scene.
Grace remained faithful to her word for the next three days, visiting twice a day and staying over as much as
possible.
Just as she was preparing to go over again on the fourth day, she received a call from Andrea.
Needless to say, Grace had long since deleted her number, so when she pressed the answer key, she had no
idea who it was.

Grace initially thought she was hearing things. Once she composed herself, she even laughed lightly and asked,
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Andrea now spoke with the confidence of someone who held the upper hand. She was, at that very moment,
standing outside Liam's room.
"It's true, Grace. I'm right outside his room now. I've already told him. The gatekeepers won't letin, but
you've been here, haven't you? You must know-I've been the one taking care of him."
Grace recalled Liam's uneasy demeanor and how he had trailed off when she visited him. A weight settled in her
chest, and she drove there without delay.
Andrea was impeccably dressed today, looking far from a typical university student. She was a completely
different person from the shy individual she had been before.
When she saw Grace, a flicker of triumph crossed her face. "I've already told him. This is his first child."
Grace walked right past her, pushing the door open to reveal Liam sitting on the bed with his finger entwined
tightly. She took a deep breath and stated firmly, "Liam, tellyourself."
Liam went rigid for a heartbeat before forcing out the words, "Grace, I'm sorry. I... | don't know how this
happened."
Andrea entered right after, her eyes immediately welling up with tears. She approached him and kneeled before
him. "Liam, are you just going to stand by and let her forceto have an abortion? Is that how little
responsibility you feel toward me?"
Though Liam had spent his life idling away, he had inherited one thing from Quentin-a man had to answer for the
women in his life.
He parted his lips, glancing furtively at Grace's expression, but found himself
seized by a helpless panic.
He honestly didn't know what to do anymore.
Grace's expression darkened further. She was too weary at this point to even lift a hand against anyone.
However, Liam misread her silence
