Chapter 788
At least now she had a lawyer’s license,
so she could go back to doing the job she
loved!
“Then I’ll go with you. I drove here
today, so it’s more convenient,” said Lina
Sweeney.
The pair went to a real estate agent. Since Grace did not have high
requirements for the house she wanted
to rent, it did not take her long to find a
suitable one.
They went to see the house in the
morning and signed the rental
agreement with the landlord in the
afternoon.
It cost 1,700 dollars a month. The
transportation was also relatively
convenient, and there was also a
supermarket and eateries nearby.
However, Lina Sweeney found the people in the neighborhood a little complicated and worried that her friend would run
into safety issues.
About that, Grace said, “It’s not like I’m going to live here for the rest of my life. It’s just a temporary transition until I
have a more stable income. Then, I’ll find somewhere else. Besides, I’ll go out as
little as possible at night. I’ll be alright.”

Lina Sweeney thought about it. ‘It’ll have
to do for the time being.’
In the afternoon, Lina Sweeney drove
again to help Grace move in. They
bought some necessary cookware and
cleaned up the rental house. Finally,
after much work, they were almost there.
Before Lina Sweeney left, she said, “If
you need anything, just call me. Don’t be shy and don’t take care of everything yourself, alright?”
“Got it,” replied Grace. When Lina Sweeney was about to step out of the house, she could not help but rush
forward and hug Lina Sweeney.
“What’s the matter?” Lina Sweeney was
stunned.
“Lina, I’m glad I have you,” murmured
Grace.
‘If it’s not for Lina, maybe I would’ve broken down at that bus stop yesterday.
‘Every time I find myself in a desperate situation, it’s Lina who appears by my
side!
‘It’s Lina who pulls me out of the abyss
again and again.
Lina Sweeney patted her best friend
gently. “I told you we’re gonna be friends
forever, so no matter what happens, you should always remember that you have me by your side!”
“Yes,” replied Grace with a slightly heavy
nasal sound.
‘I owe Lina too much. As long as Lina
needs me, I’ll use all I have to repay
Lina’s kindness!’
After seeing Lina Sweeney off, Grace
looked around at the rented house that
was about the same size as her previous one, only with an extra separate kitchen.
One bedroom, one living room, one
kitchen, and one bathroom. 1,700 dollars
was a bargain.
‘Now I’m back to being alone again!
‘There’s nothing different!
‘Just think of this time with Jason as a
dream-an absurd and flashy dream.
After I wake up, I’m still me!’
Grace got out of her rental house and took the bus, heading to Kyla Corbyn’s
small restaurant.
She did not let Kyla and Nelson come over yesterday and only said a few words on the phone. ‘Maybe Kyla is still
worried. I don’t know if Nelson was
She heard from Kyla that Nelson had
gone to great lengths to help her choose a birthday present!
When she thought of Nelson, Grace’s
heart burst with pity. When she looked
at Nelson, she could not help feeling the
surge of maternal love. She even thought
that it would be great if she could give
birth to a child as smart, intelligent, and
adorable as Nelson.
