Chapter 97

Grace wiped her tears and raised her head, blinking rapidly to force back the tears in her eyes.

In the villa, Louise paced around the room uneasily. Thinking about everything that happened last night and the call she received in the morning, the more she felt that Grace was more important to Brian than she had imagined.

“If Brian can chase Ava away for Grace, what is to say that he won’t chase me away for Grace in the future? Louise thought.

Thinking of these possibilities, Louise clenched her fists tightly, and a gloomy coldness appeared on her face.

She thought about it for a while, then took out her phone and made a call.

“It’s me. I need you to do something for me. I’ll send you the address later.”

Grace went to the phone shop to buy a new phone and rushed to the hospital.

hern By the time Grace got the results from her medical check–up, it was already 4:30 pm. Dr. Ford looked at the checkup report and said to Grace, “I finally see that you’re in a better state.”

“Your anemia has improved a lot. It’s just that the fetus‘ development is a little slow, but it doesn’t have much of an impact. Take note that you can replenish it with more nutrition later.”

Grace stroked her flat stomach and smiled. “Thank you, Dr. Ford.”

Dr. Ford gave her some calcium tablets. Grace took the medicine and left the hospital.

As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she received a call from Brian.

Grace stared at his name for a long time before answering.

“Where are you?” Brian asked.

Grace hesitated for a moment. She glanced at the report in her hand, walked to the trash can, and threw the checkup report into the trash can.

“I’m outside. Do you have any orders for me, Mr. Brian?”

“If you’re not back yet, let’s go back together. I just got off work.”

Grace wanted to refuse, but Brian had already asked her to send him her location. Grace hesitated for a moment before finally sending him the location.

Brian’s car soon arrived in front of her. Grace was now by the door. Her gaze lingered on the passenger seat for two seconds before she opened the door of the backseat.

Brian glanced at her in the rearview mirror. His eyes darkened slightly, but he did not say anything and started the car.

“How’d it go?” Brian asked as he drove.

Grace was stunned. Then, she remembered that she had told Brian that she was going to get her stomach examined in the afternoon.

JJMM M She combed her hair and said calmly, “Yes, the doctor said that I’m recovering well. I’ll be fine If I keep away from certain foods.”

Brian nodded slightly.

It was very quiet in the car. After a while, a shrill ring rang out.

Grace looked at the screen. It was a call from Louise.

Brian swiped his finger and picked up the call.

“Brian? Are you off work?” Louise asked gently.

“Yes, on the way.”

“I’m at the new house. The renovation is almost done. Can you come and pick me up? Take a look at how the renovation is going.”

“Okay.”

When Grace heard Brian’s answer, she felt very depressed. If she had known this would happen, she would have firmly rejected Brian and not gotten into his car.

The car turned around and drove towards Brian and Louise’s new house.

The car drove into the grounds of the villa. Grace felt a little stuffy in the car, so she rolled down the window.

Outside the window, a black car slowly drove past. Grace looked at the man in the driver’s seat and her face instantly turned pale.

‘That man! There’s a scar on his forehead, Grace thought.

Flashbacks of what happened in Jacksonville flashed through Grace’s mind. The scar–faced man’s face gradually overlapped with the face of the man that just passed by.
