Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Grace sensed that Andrew also had something to tell her. She took a sip of coffee and quietly waited for him to speak up.

After a moment of silence, he spoke with a hint of hesitation, “The heart is Kash’s.”

Grace was stunned, almost dropping the coffee in her hand. She looked at him in disbelief.

“No way! Isn’t Kash safe and sound? What’s more, he is...” Grace could no longer continue.

The matching heart was actually from Kash Hasel, whom Grace loved deeply!

Andrew explained, “Kash became ill as soon as Grace received a heart disease diagnosis. He wished that Grace would live a good life with his heart after he gave it to her.

“At midnight yesterday, Kash died on the operating table. The heart is on its way.”

Grace’s heart grew unbearably heavy. She never expected that such a graceful and honorable man would die in this way. “What if Grace can’t find Kash when she wakes up?”

Andrew sighed and took out a letter.

“He wrote his final words to make Grace believe he was a heartless person who hated her, so she wouldn’t be sad. Grace is a free–spirited person. She will get over it. I hope you can visit her more often in the future.”

Grace’s eyes turned slightly red, and her breath became labored.

Kash’s love was profound. Instead of telling Grace the truth, he would prefer that she live in hatred. They knew that Grace wouldn’t survive it if she learned about the truth.

Grace felt down, but she hoped a bright woman like Grace could live a good life.

Andrew spoke up, “Ms. Parrish, do you have anything to tell me?”

Grace took out a report, saying, “Grace’s illness should have been identified a long time ago. I don’t know who is deliberately concealing it.”

Andrew’s fingertips trembled, and his eyes turned cold in an instant. “Someone wants to harm Grace?!”

Grace shook her head. “You have to look into it yourself.”

Andrew took the report and thanked her. “Thank you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help in the future.”

Grace nodded slightly.

After finishing her work at the hospital, Grace was about to go home when Rhett showed up with Colin. Colin ran out of the car and threw herself into Grace’s arms.

“Mom! I missed you so much!”

The day’s weariness seemed to be lifted when Grace smiled and stroked Colin’s head. Rhett stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged her.

“Grace, let’s go home.”

Grace smiled at Rhett and said gently, “Let’s go home. I’m really exhausted today.”

Rhett took her backpack off and opened the car door. “I’ll give you a massage when we get home.”

Before Grace got into the car, she looked at the nearby alley for a moment. As he leaned against the wall, Omar glanced in the direction they had gone.

“Mom, I miss you so much...”

Grace ignored Omar and left although she saw him after getting in the car.

She wondered occasionally if this was fair to a child, but she couldn’t get. the answer. Once the damage had been done, it was irreparable.

Those hurts would persist even after forgiveness. Colin got onto Grace’s lap, cupping her face, smiling. “Mom, are you upset?”

Grace didn’t expect a child to notice her mood. She rubbed Colin’s check. “No, I’m just too tired. I’m not upset.”

Colin’s face furrowed as if he was thinking about what to do. After a while, he said, “Mom, I’ll tell you a joke; it’ll chase away your fatigue.”

Grace was intrigued. Colin was only four years old. She wondered what kind of jokes he could tell. “OK, go ahead.”

Rhett also smiled.

“Colin, I want to hear it too.”

Colin instantly straightened his chest, looking proud.

“Once upon a time, a priest named Rhett Floyd served in a church that was situated atop a mountain. One day...”

Before he could finish, Rhett pinched his check. Even the driver couldn’t help laughing. “What a cute boy!”

Rhett squeezed Colin’s cheek and said viciously, “What’s that priest’s name again?”

Chapter 88 Colin hugged Grace’s hand and made faces at Rhett. “Dad is that chubby priest...”

Grace was amused by the father and son. She glanced at Rhett who looked unhappy. “Rhett, you are a priest, a chubby priest!”

Rhett touched his face as it grew darker.

“Don’t you think it’s unfortunate that such a handsome man becomes a priest?”

Colin folded his arms. He and Rhett had a striking resemblance. “Dad is so conceited.”

Grace agreed with this.

On this slightly cool night, Grace dreamed of the past.

The first time she met Rhett was in a foreign hospital. She came to the hospital with her mentor to see patients and met the injured Rhett. His face was covered in blood. He asked first whether he would be disfigured.

Grace responded at that time, “Maybe. Anyway, there’s always the option. of plastic surgery.” Rhett became dejected, allowing Grace to wipe the blood off him But when he looked up and saw Grace’s face clearly, he subconsciously said, “Can I pursue you?”

Grace’s hand, holding the alcohol pad, paused for a moment as she stared at him in a daze. Rhett, stimulated by the alcohol, subconsciously grasped her hand.

“Dr. Parrish, be gentle. It hurts.”

Grace could sense the spot he was holding was burning. She hastily bandaged him and left the hospital.

11.18 M Chapter 88 Rhett recalled the name on her work badge. “Rhett Floyd.”

From that day on, Rhett came to the hospital every day to pester Grace.
