Chapter 123
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
After Grace had washed up, Jason carried her back to bed, and she saw that her meal had been served.
Although it was a simple meal consisting of porridge and some other dishes, it looked appetizing. Graceâs tummy suddenly growled loudly.
âThe doctor recommended making you eat food thatâs easy to digest,â Jason said.
He then started to put the dishes on the overbed table for her.
If anyone had witnessed the scene, their eyes would have popped out of their heads. Mr. Reed, the man who called the shots in Emerald City, was attending to a woman.
Grace took the utensils and started eating her food. When she lowered her head to eat, her long hair kept falling down her face, almost getting into the porridge.
Just as she was about to look for a hairband to tie up her hair with, Jason showed that he was one step ahead of her and said, âLet me do it.â As he spoke, he took out a hairband and a comb that had been put to one side.
When Grace saw the logo on the hairband, she knew that it was branded. Before she had been imprisoned, she had bought a few hair accessories carrying this brand as her income had allowed her to do so back then.
She had not expected Jay to be so attentive to have prepared such a trivial thing.
âDo you know how to do it?â she asked.
âIâve seen you do it every day, so itâs no problem,â Jason replied.
He took the comb and started combing her hair before tying it up. Although he was not skillful, he did a good job.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
âCome in,â Jason said.
When the door opened, Terrence walked in. He was stunned when he saw the scene.
âIs Mr. Reed⦠combing a womanâs hair for her?!â
Mr. Reed had never paid any attention to the women who had flung themselves at him, let alone combed their hair for them.
However, he seemed willing to do anything for Grace.
Grace was surprised by Jayâs actions. When she came to her senses after seeing Terrenceâs expression, she realized that Jay was combing her hair!
She felt embarrassed instantly.
âWhatâs up?â Jason asked, continuing to comb her hair gently.
âItâsâ¦â Terrence paused for a while and did not go on.
When Jason saw this, he knew that his words were not meant for Graceâs ears. After combing her hair, Jason said, âSis, enjoy your meal. Iâm going out for a while.â
After they had gotten out of the ward, Terrence said, âThe security guard caught a reporter trying to sneak in. The reporter found out that Miss Cummins had been admitted to the hospital so he came to look for news to report.â
Jason squinted his eyes and asked, âIs he looking for a scoop? How did he find out that Grace had been admitted to this hospital?â
âHe mentioned that someone posted on social media about you carrying Miss Cummins to this hospital last night, so he came to dig for information,â Terrence replied.
When Jason heard this, he asked coldly, âWas he trying to dig up news about me or Grace?â
