"Don't worry, I've never had an unsuccessful operation. Ms. Lewis should be fine now, and I believe she will wake up soon." Everyone felt a sense of relief after hearing this. Xander reached out and patted Henry's shoulder. "Well done!"However, the atmosphere took a turn as Henry tilted his head and rubbed against Xander's shoulder, saying, "Xander, I worked so hard, and all I get is that. Aren't you being a bit ungrateful?" Xander pushed Henry's head away and said, "Just ask for whatever you want. Even if it's the moon, I'll get it for you." Henry was delighted. "You said it. Don't go back on your word." With that, Henry yawned and said, "I'm so tired from the tedious work. I'll take a nap first and come get my reward later."Xander gestured for the bodyguards behind him to take Henry to rest. On the other hand, a group of doctors were gushing in the operating room. "How is this possible? Her brain was deprived of oxygen for so long, yet nothing happened." "This i
"Mr. Lewis, where I stay or go is none of your concern." Benjamin made himself clear. Aaron knew that it was futile to waste any words on Benjamin. "Mr. Hawkins, everyone knows to catch the next train when it misses a station. After all, the train won't turn back, even if you stay at the station. You should understand this logic." After saying that, Aaron left with Caleb. "Aaron, should we just leave him here?" Caleb was still reluctant to leave, but Aaron said, "What can we do if he doesn't leave?""But Gracie doesn't want to see him!" "We must believe that she will make the right choice. She knows who's worth spending a lifetime with." After hearing this, Caleb calmed down and said, "Let's hope so."… Meanwhile, Grace felt like she had been in a long nap and had a long dream. She dreamed of five years ago, the first time she met Benjamin. She was studying for her master's degree at Coronia University School of Design. It was her first time leaving home, and her
They met again more than a month later. Grace finished class and walked out of the lecture hall. A group of people were gathered around, and there were bursts of laughter. Soon after, someone attacked her in Eliganese. "You Kidhnian people are especially stupid, acting like dogs." "In the past, you were a weak country, and now you're still a bunch of weaklings." "Even after so many years, you Kidhnians are still beneath us." Grace remained silent when she heard them. She furrowed her eyebrows, and anger boiled within her. Who were these foreigners? How dare they insult her so baselessly? Just as she was about to step forward to argue, she heard the sounds of punches and kicks, accompanied by a man's screams and reluctant shouts."Fuck! How dare you hit me?" Before he could finish, another solid punch landed on him. "That's for you! How dare you insult us? I’ll show you what a true Kidhnian fight looks like!" Benjamin finished speaking and ruthlessly punched the f
Grace's roommates had noticed someone escorting her back and immediately started gossiping. "Who was that guy just now? Is he your boyfriend? He looks so handsome!""Yeah, he's so muscular and hot!" "When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't I know about this?" Facing a barrage of questions from her roommates, Grace hurriedly explained, "He's not my boyfriend. Don't overthink it." "What! He's not your boyfriend! What's his name? Can you introduce him to me?" This question caught Grace off guard. They had met twice, but she hadn't even asked for his name. "Well, I'll ask him next time and let you know."Her roommates were clearly disappointed, but Grace raised an eyebrow. Thinking she must make things clear next time, Grace eagerly anticipated their next encounter. However, Grace saw him again the very next day. Her roommates pulled her over and asked, "Grace, isn't that the guy who walked you back yesterday? Why is he being taken to the office?"Surprised, Grace fol
Grace smiled and said, "It’s fine. You’re the agent of justice. What they said yesterday was too much. I would have given them a good beating, too." But Benjamin protested, saying, "Women shouldn't dirty their hands by getting violent. Leave it to the men!" Then, he stopped and joked, "I forgot to ask your name. What's your name?" "Grace Lewis." Benjamin nodded. "I’ll remember it."Grace asked, "And you? What's your name? I can't just call you 'hey' whenever I see you." Benjamin laughed and looked at her curiously. "If you want to know my name, meet me at the school's west gate the day after tomorrow at 3:30 pm. I'll tell you then." Grace was annoyed. "What's all the suspense for?" But he waved at her and said, "Don't forget, 3:30 pm the day after tomorrow. See you then!" Grace pursed her lips. She wasn’t happy with it, but she also couldn't help but look forward to it. Time slowly ticked by, and Grace waited patiently for the day to come. She started getting rea
She learned his name from others—Benjamin Hawkins. Since then, his name had been like a spell deeply engraved in her heart. It also became her nightmare. What happened next seemed to be fate. She accidentally saved Benjamin's grandmother.Upon learning that Elizabeth was looking for a wife for Benjamin, Grace volunteered without hesitation and became Mrs. Hawkins. Three years of married life played out in her mind like a movie, and the chaotic memories constantly reminded her of her initial mistake. However, she had spent three years without understanding why Benjamin couldn't remember her. Grace's eyelashes fluttered, then she slowly opened her eyes.The smell of disinfectant filled her nose, and she gradually woke up. It turned out that it had all been a dream. "Gracie, you're awake." She heard a pleasantly surprised voice beside her. She smiled faintly at Xander. "Xander, what happened to me?" "You've been unconscious for three days. You scared us. Fortunately,
On the day Grace was discharged, Xander gave her a large bouquet. "Gracie, I hope you stay healthy and happy every day from now on." Grace accepted it with a smile. "Thank you, Xander!" Caleb also walked over with a smiling face, his gaze lingering on the two. "I must say, Gracie, you scared us this time. You don't know how bad the situation was that day. It's all thanks to Xander. He found Dr. Henry, who brought you back from the brink of death. We need to thank him." At the mention of Henry, Caleb realized that he had disappeared since Grace's surgery. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Dr. Henry? Why haven't we seen him?" Xander explained, "He went on vacation. He's always hard to find. Don't worry about him." "Anyway, he's my lifesaver, so we must thank him properly someday," Grace said earnestly. Xander nodded. "I'll arrange a meeting next time."They left the hospital room. A few moments later, they stopped in their tracks. They saw Benjamin standing up slowl
Caleb and Xander remained silent as they approached her. Caleb simply said, "Get in the car." Grace got into the car, and they drove away. She gazed out of the car window. She was filled with an inexplicable sense of sadness inside. Of course, she felt sad. She had spent five years yearning for Benjamin. Those had been vital years of her life.However, Grace was willing to let go since she had tried her best. She had once been filled with passion and recklessness. It was a pity that things had ended in regret. After a pause, Grace looked away and asked, "Where are the people who drugged me?" Caleb cleared his throat and said, "Why do you ask? Aaron will handle it. You shouldn't get involved." But Grace insisted, "I want to see them." Caleb and Xander exchanged glances. Xander said, "Aaron has them under his watch now. You have to get his permission if you want to see them."Grace took out her phone to make a call, but Caleb stopped her, saying, "Gracie, you're so stub
