Except he did not wait for her answer before saying, “I’ve hated someone before. Hated that person so very much. I thought hundreds, thousands of times about how if one day I were to find her, how I would take my revenge. I know I want to do it on her birthday. I still feel a little uncomfortable. It seems that my heart can be at peace only when I’m here with you, Sis.”

Grace kept her eyes shut, not speaking. She was pretending to be asleep.

He actually hoped that she was asleep too. He did not actually want her to hear these words. This way, Grace’s act was successful.

“Maybe I wish to see her again soon. This way, I can take my revenge, right? No matter where she’s hiding, someday, I will find her and let her experience how being betrayed and tortured by a loved one is like.”

His voice continued ringing faintly in the room, except his tone held hostility.

Grace’s body involuntarily trembled slightly. A loved one… Could it be that the person he hated and wanted to take revenge on was his mother?

She still remembered he had once said that his mother left, abandoning him and his father.

If what he had said then was true… She was afraid that in the future, his mother…

Jason, this emperor of Emerald City. Who could withstand his revenge?

Grace unconsciously thought of those three years she spent in jail…

“Sis, in this lifetime, please don’t ever become someone I hate, okay?” When he said this, it sounded like the wind bellowing in the night. It was as if all the blood in her body had suddenly congealed.

Actually… Did he know that she was awake?

One night passed just like this. When Grace got up at four in the morning to go to work, Jason was already out of the house.

This surprised her a little. When did he leave?

Still, it relieved her. At least she did not have to face him awkwardly.

Seeing that pair of gloves she had not yet finished knitting, Grace once again felt that it was best to finish the gloves a little faster.

Perhaps when the gloves were completed, she could have nothing do with him.

Jason sat in the back of the car, back against the seat. His eyes were closed, deep in thought. One of his hands gently rubbed his forehead.

He pretty much did not get any sleep that night.

After she had fallen asleep, he got up and watched her sleeping face.

In the past, he never thought that a person’s sleeping face would be nice to look at, but when he was with her, it became an exception.

It was like he would never get tired of looking at her sleeping face.

“Young Master Reed, are we returning to the house first?”

Terrence asked.

“Mhm,” Jason answered blandly.

Except when the car was halfway there, Terrence’s phone rang. After he answered the phone, his expression changed slightly. He immediately reported to Jason, “Young Master, the master’s illness has worsened. The doctors are performing a life-saving procedure now. Do you…. want to go to the hospital?”

His black eyes opened wide in an instant, and Jason’s thin lips spat out three words, “To the hospital.”

The driver immediately turned around and headed for the hospital.

When Jason arrived at the hospital, they were still rescuing

Master Reed. Jason stood outside the emergency room with an indescribable complicated feeling.

No matter how strong a man was, he would still struggle at such times.

In his eyes, his grandfather was strong, cruel, and cold. It seemed that he was only affectionate to his son who had lived a short life.

Everyone else seemed to be just pawns to him, including him, his grandson!

Master Reed only regarded him as the future successor of the Reed family all this time, not as his grandson. In fact, there was no grandfather and grandson bond between them.

Two hours passed before the door of the emergency room opened. “We’ve managed to save him. But Master Reed is old, and he had undergone a few operations earlier. Now it’s just a matter of how long we can drag this out. At best, maybe a few years. At worst, maybe a few months,” the doctor said to Jason after he came out from the emergency room.

Jason naturally understood. No amount of money could control birth, age, illness, and death.

Master Reed was sent to the intensive care unit for post-operative observation.

Two days later, Master Reed was taken out of the intensive care unit, and Jason finally met Master Reed face to face.

“I heard you were waiting outside the emergency room when

I was being rescued?” Master Reed asked, but his voice was lighter than ever. It was laced with helplessness.

“Yup.” Jason answered dryly.

“It must have been hard for you to stay outside the ward for an old man like me,” Master Reed said.

Jason looked at the old man dimly. “Grandfather, you got someone to send word to me about how you wanted to see me. Surely you’re not just telling me these.”

Master Reed got the nurse to help him drink two gulps water and asked everyone else in the ward to leave before looking at Jason. “I’ve checked that woman called Grace. A woman like her does not suit you. Just pick any high-born fair maiden in Emerald City.”

“It’s not Grandfather who decides whether someone suits me or not. Only I can do that,” Jason answered directly.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, seemingly filling the air with tension.

After a while, Master Reed finally coughed twice and sighed. He was old and had cultivated his grandson into a qualified heir. However, he found that his grandson’s growth was far beyond his imagination.

Now that the beast had matured, he could not be the man to control it.

“You think she suits you?” Master Reed asked.

“Does it matter?” Jason did not answer the question but asked.

Master Reed’s face seemed to take on a ghastly expression. “Then tell me honestly, do you love her?”

His old, muddy eyes were fixed on his grandson as if he wanted to see all the changes in expression on his face.

Jason met his eyes. He would have said no before. Since a very young age, he knew that love hurt, so he had never intended to fall in love with anyone.

Now… The words seemed to have a hard time coming out of his mouth naturally.

It was as if unconsciously, that woman was becoming more and more important to him. Even after she had rejected him once, he continued to interact with her as if… he was reluctant to part with her completely.

“I don’t know,” Jason replied. He knew that his grandfather never wanted him to give his love to a woman. To him, women were just tools to carry on the Reed family line.

The men of the Reed family should never fall in love with a woman.

“You…” Master Reed’s face was contorted with anger. This was obviously bad for a man who had just been rescued from death only two days before.

However, Jason did not want to appease the old man. Instead, he said lightly, “Grandfather, since I’ve already said so to your face today, then it means that I can definitely protect her. The doctor has already said, if you take care of your body well, you might get to live for a few more years.”

Master Reed seemed to laugh in anger. “Alright, it’s no wonder you’re my grandson. It seems that you really have feelings for that woman. Have you forgotten your father’s example? Are you going to follow in your father’s footsteps?”

“Even if I do love a woman, I won’t let that woman run my life,”

he replied.

“Your father said the same thing at the beginning, but look at what happened! He lost his life for a woman!” Master Reed said mockingly.

“I’m not him!” Jason said coldly. He slowly got up and walked in front of the old man. He then leaned down. Those deep black eyes looked straight at Master Reed. “Grandfather, I’m not my father. Don’t you confuse us two!”

Two pairs of eyes met each other. The air was once again filled with tension. There was even a faint sense of something impending.

Eventually, Master Reed’s voice broke the silence. “Does that mean you’re going to marry her too?”

“Why not?” Jason said. He would eventually marry a woman into the Reed family. Before this, he had no opinion about who he would marry. It was just a matter of finding a mother for the future successor of the Reed family.

Now, he felt that if he wanted to be with a woman for the rest of his life, Grace would be a good choice. At least he would not feel bored looking at her, and he even enjoyed being with her.

He would have the urge to want her as well as hide her and lock her up so that no one else could see her smile and gentleness.

This side of him had never existed for any other woman before.

What was more, he seemed unable to accept her marrying another man. The thought of her belonging to another man would cause a feeling called ‘jealousy’ to spread through his body.

“Is it?” Master Reed did not get angry after hearing this. “I’ve investigated it. It seems that this woman named Grace knows about your identity, but she is still living in a peasant’s house. It looks like she may not be willing to marry you.”

“It’ll only be a matter of time when I decide if I really want her to marry me.” Jason smiled gently. His eyes revealed a look of high aspirations. “Grandfather, if I want a woman, then that woman must be willing!”

“Willing indeed!” Master Reed coughed again, then grabbed a stack of documents on his bedside table. He threw it toward Jason with all his might. “Do you think she will be willing to be with you after uncovering all these things from the past?”

Sheets of paper spilled across the entire floor.

Jason bent down to pick up a few and examined them.

“If she finds out that the accident was just a power struggle that you played a part in and that she was only a poor victim, do you think she will still have the so-called willingness to be with you?” Master Reed asked with a stern voice.

The smile on Jason’s face disappeared gradually. His handsome face was filled with cold seriousness.

“I never thought that Grandfather would manage to find out all these.”

“You didn’t care about it before, so you didn’t think of hiding anything,” Master Reed said.

“Yeah, it’s my fault for being careless.” Jason seemed to admit his mistakes humbly.
