Chapter 16
Twenty minutes later.
The 9th floor of Grace's apartment.
Grace dragged her tired body across the door. "I'm back."
"Mommy."
"Grace."
The two people who were sitting cross-legged on the sofa immediately came over. One was smiling
and the other was cold and emotionless.
It was Grace's younger sister, Alice Smith who smiled and her son, Gary Smith who was coldfaced.
Seeing her son's face, Grace suddenly thought of Heinz's face and couldn't help feeling dazed.
They looked so...
similar.
Even their expressions were the same. Gary was not a very lively and active child. He was very quiet
and always liked to stay alone.
"Mommy, you're not happy. Why?" Gary started the conversation.
Grace suddenly came back to her senses and looked at her son, feeling dumbfounded. Gary is a smart
kid and insightful, he could read her like a book.
Grace shook her head and said, "Baby, I'm fine."
"Grace, what's wrong with you?" Alice also saw that her sister was a little absent-minded. "Do you have
any problem with your work? They want to fire you?"
"No. Everything is fine. I have become an official staff today. Alice, don’t you need to start your night
shift soon?" Grace washed her hands and said to her, "Just go to work first."
"Okay, Grace. I'll be back tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning. I'll pick up my nephew in the
afternoon. Don't worry." Alice said while running towards the door.
"Okay." Grace nodded.
Grace's son, Gary, was five-years-old. He was in the senior class of the kindergarten. Except for
sleeping at home, he spent most of his time in kindergarten.
When Alice hurriedly took the bag and ran out.
Grace reminded her."Be careful."
"Alright." Alice opened the door and ran away.
Soon there were two people left in the room.
Gary looked at his mother with doubts in his big eyes. "Mommy, you have been absent-minded since
last night."
Grace's heart skipped a beat. This little guy is too smart. She could never hide her emotional
fluctuations from her smart son.
Gary's wise eyes were fixed on his mother. He said like an adult, "Tell me, I'll try to solve it."
Grace said, "Baby, I might have met your father."
However, Gary was not particularly happy upon hearing this. He just frowned slightly like Heinz.
Grace couldn't help but murmur again in her heart, "Is Heinz the one who took my virginity that night?"
"And then?" Gary asked.
"He doesn't seem to be a good person." Grace shrugged her shoulders regretfully. Seeing her son's NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
frowning hard, she said awkwardly, "Sorry, I'm not that sure whether he is your father or not."
"Since that guy doesn't look like a good person, then we don't need him." Gary said calmly, "Don't
waste time on such an unnecessary thing."
"You’ re right." Grace shrugged. "Well, I won't waste time."
Late at night.
When her son fell asleep, Grace was ready to sleep.
Suddenly Grace’s phone rang.
She looked at the phone number and found it was Lilian.
She hurried to the balcony. After she closed the sliding door, she said, "Hello, Miss Ross?"
"Grace, I can't stand it anymore. Please save me.” Lilian's voice was very pitiful on the phone as if she
had been greatly scared.
Grace's heart skipped a beat and her voice became louder. "Miss Ross, are you still there?"
"I was brought here by Heinz. He, he let his dogs bite me. I really haven't seen such a cruel man." As
Lilian said this, she burst into tears.
"I'll save you." Grace blurted out, "But how can I save you?"
