Brian pulled a stalk of peanuts. The soil brought by the peanuts fell on his shoes. He frowned slightly and then looked up at Grace. His brows relaxed.
"Honey, let me help you."
With that, he began to pull the second and third...
His movements were clumsy, like a child who had just learned to dress himself.
Soon, sweat covered his forehead. Grace took out a towel and walked to him to wipe his sweat.noveldrama
Brian looked at her with curved eyes. He lowered his head slightly so that she could wipe him.
His gaze fell on her pink lips, and his mind heated up. He bent down and quickly took a light taste of her mouth.
Grace blushed and bit her lip as she glared at him.
The fisherman smiled and looked away.
With Grace's help, the peanuts in the field were quickly collected.
At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. "Grace!"
Grace abruptly turned around.
"Carson!"
Carson ran forward in surprise. "Grace, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for a long time."
"How did you find this place?" asked Grace.
Carson said, "I checked on the hospital registration. Who is this?"
Grace told Carson the story about the fisherman saving her and Brian's health condition.
Carson looked at Brian with a hint of sympathy. "What should you do? If he doesn't get better for the rest
of his life, will you have to take care of him for the rest of your life?"
Grace looked at Brian with a confused gaze. "No. He'll get better."
The fisherman invited them into the house for a coffee. It was getting late, so he had sent his daughter home early to cook.
Carson had a lot of questions. One
moment, he asked them why they came to Seefer City. The next moment, he asked them how they got injured.
"Let's talk about it when we get back to Capern City. Did you especially come to pick me up?" asked Grace.
"Yes, I can't stay for long. I've bought
the boat tickets. We'll head back tonight Vivian was stabbed to save me. I'm worried about her being alone in the hospital now," said Carson.
Grace's eyes widened in shock. "You mean, someone wanted to hurt you?"
Carson nodded solemnly.
Grace's heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the docks after eating.
Along the way, Brian held Grace's hand tightly and did not say a word.
After getting on the boat, Grace took out the phone number that the school had left for her from her bag. "Carson, I have good news for you. Austin is still alive. This is the number of the family who adopted her." Carson looked at her in shock. Then, he was overjoyed. "Really?
"Then, then hurry up and make the call! I'll make the call now!"
"I've called a lot of times. The family has traveled to Capern City. No one answered the home phone."
Carson opened the note and suddenly narrowed his eyes. "Why is this number so familiar?"
"What happened?" asked Grace.
Carson took out his phone and entered the first two digits. Then, the contact's name automatically popped up.
"Jaclyn Greene."
Carson was stunned. "Grace... this number is the landline of Vivian's family."
Grace's eyes widened. A moment later, her tears fell.
"Joy, Joy is Austin! Grace! Joy is Austin!" Carson shouted excitedly.
Grace thought of that child. No
wonder she felt an inexplicable.
sense of familiarity the first time
her!
It turned out Joy was her child!
