Chapter 842
“No thanks, it’s just a minor pain. I don’t
need to go to the hospital for it,” Grace
said quickly.
“Start the car,” Jason said coldly to the
driver.
The driver started the car and drove
toward the hospital.
Grace knew that once Jason decided to do something, he would see it to the end.
Therefore, she kept quiet. Since there was no way for her to escape, she could only roll with the punches and accept
whatever came.
After all, over the years, what she
had learned most was patience and
acceptance.
He was slightly surprised by her sudden
quietness.
She just sat quietly in the car with her slightly pale face and furrowed eyebrows. Her bright almond-shaped eyes were half-closed while her hands covered her knees. The blue veins on
the back of her hand were popping out faintly as if she was suppressing the
pain.
“Does it hurt?” He could not help asking.
“It’s alright. It’s not that painful,” she said lightly. After all, compared to the pain she felt from standing too long a few days ago, today’s pain was nothing.
He pursed his thin lips. “You haven’t been to Mingde for your check-ups?”
“That hospital isn’t for me,” she said. Private hospitals like that were usually only affordable for the rich people in
Emerald City.
Now, she was a mere paralegal with a salary of only 7,000 dollars a month. How could she afford to go to a hospital like
that?
Besides, the problem in her joints was not something that could be cured overnight.
“That’s nonsense. I’ll have someone
arrange a weekly appointment for
see the doctor,” said Jason.
you to
Grace was in a trance for a while. His
words made her feel as if they had not
broken up
and he still cared about her.
“Jason, we’re already broken up, so you don’t need to arrange for me to see a
doctor,” she muttered.
He stared at her, his thin lips opening slowly. “So what? I may have broken up with you, but that doesn’t mean I can’t
arrange for you to see a doctor. Even if we’re broken up, I can still get you
anything you want or need. Even if want a law firm, I’ll get you one.”

Grace gave a wry smile. ‘What’s this? A
parting gift?’
Grace raised her almond-shaped eyes and looked at those beautiful peach
blossom eyes. “I don’t need these
things.” If she really accepted his offers,
she would feel as if she was willing to become his game object for money.
He frowned slightly.
Her voice continued, “We broke up, so we have nothing to do with each other
anymore. There’s no reason for me to accept any gifts from you.”
“What about you being my ‘Sis’ again? Didn’t you want to be my ‘Sis’?” he asked suddenly. Her words earlier, ‘nothing to do with each other’, were like an invisible
needle that made him feel nothing but a
pang in his heart.
‘Sis?’
Grace was immediately stunned. How long had it been since she had heard
him call her by that name?
“I’m… not your ‘Sis,” she croaked out in a
hoarse voice.
He smirked a little, and his large hand rested on the back of her hand which
was on her knees. “If I say you are, you
are.”
For a split second, she felt as if her heart was hit by something. ‘It hurts!’
