Listen Audiobook Version:



Grace found a restaurant to eat.

There was a television on the wall of the restaurant. It was broadcasting the news.

Grace watched the television, and Brian's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Brian had been looking for her. He must have heard about the plane crash and thought she was dead.

How did he react when he heard the news? Was he sad, regretful, or unmoved?

Brian had put in so much effort to want to kill the child in her belly. He probably did not have any extra feelings for her, did he?

She supposed he was unmoved.

The waiter brought the set meal over. Grace took a deep breath and picked up the spoon to eat.

After the meal, Grace went to look for a decoration company to renovate her shop. She had rented a short-term rental house and planned to stay in the shop after the shop officially opened. She could save a lot of money.

Grace lay on the bed and browsed her phone's address book. She called Carson.

"Grace? Is that really you? Where are you?" asked Carson in surprise.

"I'm in Jacksonville."

"Is it you? We thought you were on that plane! Why didn't you come back? I was worried sick! I can't believe the truth these days! Is it you?"

Grace smiled helplessly and said, "It's me. Otherwise, do you think it's a coincidence?"

Carson heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're fine. By the way, Brian has been here."

Grace raised her voice slightly. "Did he come to look for me?"

"Yes. It was the day after the plane crash. Early that morning, he was drunk and came to our house to cause trouble. We only found out from him that you were pregnant." Grace was silent for a moment. "Did he say anything?"

"He said... He didn't say anything."

Grace smiled. Although Carson did not say anything, she could guess easily that Brian must be mocking her. Brian even thought her death had solved a big problem, did he? He could be with Louise without any worries from now on.

Grace's heart ached when she thought of it. "Let's not talk about him anymore. I'm fine in Jacksonville. Don't worry about me. By the way, don't tell Mom and Dad about my whereabouts." "Okay."

After hanging up, Grace called Justin.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

The voice on the other end was scarily hoarse. "Hello?"

Grace felt a little guilty and could not make a sound when she heard Justin's voice.

Justin sensed something and raised his voice. "Grace?"

"Where are you? Grace, am I dreaming?"

"I'm sorry. I left without saying goodbye. I'm so sorry. I bought that ticket to cover my tracks. I'm fine now."

Justin's voice was choked up as he said, "Alright. I won't bother you as long as you're fine. Don't deliberately avoid me, okay?"

There was a hint of pleading in his voice, making Grace feel even more guilty.

"I went to see Brian today," Justin said suddenly.

Grace's fingers tightened silently. "He thought I was dead, didn't he? How did he react?"

Justin paused before saying, "Brian was calm. He even questioned me if the child in your belly was mine."

Grace's heart suddenly ached.

She knew the answer in her heart. However, she did not give up and wanted to ask again.

How she wished she could hear someone say that Brian was sad.

No. His heart wasn't with her. How could he be sad?
