âWould Grace be pregnant if it werenât for you? Didnât you say you value her more than your own life?
Is putting her through all this pain how you value her?â snapped Brian.
Jasonâs face darkened. âBrian, whatâs the matter? Havenât you given up on Grace?â
He suddenly sneered. âGive up? Jason, if you hadnât interfered, how could I have mistaken someone else for Grace and recognized her so late? If I had recognized her sooner and if she had fallen for me, I would never have let her suffer what she suffered today!â
Valda Theller never expected that the first thing she heard was Brianâs speech when she arrived at the hospital and passed the place guarded by the Reed familyâs bodyguards.
Maybe everything was meant to be.
She heard those words because the Reed familyâs bodyguards recognized her and let her in.
Sure enough, Brian loved Grace. He loved her before and still did.
Losing Grace was the biggest regret of his life. Who was she for him to transfer such deep feelings to her?
She laughed at what she had said about trying hard to make him love her.
âValda, what are you doing here?â The first person to notice Valda Theller was Kyla.
When Kyla said that, the two men still in dispute froze.
Brianâs expression instantly changed, and he stiffened. He turned slowly and looked at Valda Theller not far away.
She no longer looked as distraught as she was at the comic fiesta venue. She had probably cleaned up as she had even changed her clothes.
Her expression was calm. She looked at him quietly but not with the usual smile.
Brian only felt guilty when he met Valda Thellerâs gaze.
He saw her being mobbed at the comic fiesta. He wanted to help her but suddenly received a call from his staff. He was told on the phone that Grace was urgently rushed to the hospital, and her situation looked critical.
His mind went blank at that moment. When he realized it, he turned and ran out of the place.
âWhat are you doing here? I⦠I asked my staff to help you at the venue. Did you meet them?â Brian asked. Even he did not notice his voice was unnatural as he spoke.
âI was on the phone with Kyla earlier and knew Grace was sent to the hospital, so I came to take a look,â said Valda Theller as she looked past Brian and saw the baby Jason was holding.
She walked up to Jason. âIs this Graceâs baby? Itâs great that the baby was born safely.â
âBut she still has to go to the NICU for observation,â Jason said as he handed the baby to a nurse next to him. The nurse took the baby and left, followed by Jasonâs bodyguard.
At 37 weeks, the babyâs organs were fully developed, but it was important to keep an eye on her for a few days to be safe.
âWhat about Grace? Is she okay?â Valda Theller asked with concern.
âIâm not sure. Weâll see how Grace recovers after giving birth,â said Jason.
Valda Theller nodded. âIâll wait for Grace to come out first. Iâll leave after checking on her.â
âOkay,â replied Jason.
Brian stood at the side, looking at Valda Theller. He wanted to speak but hesitated.
