When Grace heard this, she instantly knew that Dr. Russell had some confidence in his treatment plan.
However⦠Mrs. Wattsâs hamstring was cut when she was younger? It surprised Grace.
âWas it cut by accident or did someone⦠cut her hamstring? If someone did it, who would do such a cruel thing to a woman?â
After carefully consulting Dr. Russell about the operation, Old Lawyer Watts and his wife decided to go back and talk it over before coming to a decision.
Grace took the two elderly back to Reed Residence and arranged for them to have lunch there.
Old Lawyer Watts looked around after entering Reed Residence. He had a good look around and could not stop tutting and praising.
On the other hand, Mrs. Watts remained silent. Although she followed him and looked around, she did not make a sound.
When they passed Jason and Graceâs master bedroom, Mrs. Watts suddenly said, âMay I⦠enter this room and have a look?â
âSure,â said Grace as she opened the door. âThis is my and Jayâs bedroom.â
Mrs. Watts walked into the room, looked around, and walked to the door that was connected to the next room. She raised her hand and gently opened the door.
It instantly showed the other room.
Grace said, âThe room next door is my old room. We donât use it that much anymore. We only use it to keep clothes and personal belongings.â
âThe⦠design is good,â Mrs. Watts said somewhat emotionally.
After lunch, Grace accompanied her mentor and his wife to walk around Reed Residenceâs main house. When they passed by the mourning hall, Mrs. Wattsâs expression instantly changed.
âThis isâ¦â
âItâs a mourning hall. Jayâs father passed away when he was very young, so Jayâs grandfather built a mourning hall here for Jayâs fatherâs memorial tablet. I think itâs to hope the dead can rest in peace and give the living a place to mourn. Jay comes here to pay his respects whenever he misses his father.â
Mrs. Watts trembled lightly. Only Old Lawyer Watts, who was holding her hand, could feel it.
Old Lawyer Watts squeezed his wifeâs hand and said, âWeâve had a busy day today. Letâs go back to the hotel to rest.â
However, Mrs. Watts kept her eyes on the mourning hall. Her lips quivered as she said, âGrace, can you show us inside? Since weâve come to Reed Residence today, I think your mentor and I should also offer incense to Jasonâs⦠father.â
Grace hesitated a little. âButâ¦â
âGrace, I can see youâre doing very well now, so I want to pay my respects to Jasonâs father too. After all, you know that your mentor and I have no children. I have treated you as my own child all these years. Itâs only right for us to pay our respects to your father-in-law!â said Mrs. Watts.
âAlright then,â said Grace as she led them into the mourning hall. A photo of Jasonâs father hung on the outer wall.
He had eyes like the calm water. He looked elegant and charming. Who would have thought that he would end up freezing to death on the roadside?
When Old Lawyer Watts and Mrs. Watts entered the mourning hall, they stared blankly at the huge black and white photo.
After a long time, Old Lawyer Watts murmured, âItâs a shame he died young.â
A flash of pain passed through Mrs. Wattsâs eyes. She eventually looked down and followed Grace into the inner hall.
