Chapter 101
After Grace left, Jason looked around the small rental apartment and felt empty inside.
He picked up the scarf she had placed on the table and wrapped it around his neck. The corner of his lips curled into a slight smile.
When Jason walked out of the rental apartment, Terrence had already been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw his boss, he was stunned. The president had never liked wearing a plain scarf, but then… he was wearing one.
And when Jason walked closer to him, Terrence studied the threads on the scarf and the knitting method. He was almost sure that it was a hand-made scarf.
There seemed to be only one answer to Mr. Reed’s hand-woven scarf.
This scarf was probably knitted by Grace!
“Mr. Reed, we’re going to…”
“Let’s go to the hospital. Today, I probably should have dinner
with the Old Master.” Jason ordered.
“Okay,” Terrence responded. He started the car and headed
for the hospital.
The bus stopped at a place not far from the southern
entrance of the town where Grace got off. It had already been
three years, and this town seemed to have changed a lot.
Some of the muddy roads had been rebuilt with cement.
On the way, she met some of the neighbors who used to live
close to her grandmother’s house. They all pointed at her and
whispered to each other. Grace was already used to this.
Ever since she was released from prison, those who knew her
in the past could not help but talk about her when they saw
her.
When she arrived at her grandmother’s house, she found it to
be crowded with her relatives.
Seeing her, her second uncle forced a smile and said, “Grace! Come on in and have a seat. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Grace was a little surprised. After all, after what had
happened to her, her second uncle had even sent someone to tell her to not implicate them at the courthouse.
“Come, come, sit down!” Her third aunt walked over with a
warm expression and pulled Grace down to the chair. Then, her uncle-in-law, aunt-in-law, second uncle-in-law, and
third uncle… All these relatives surrounded her and asked her about her well-being.
Grace had a flash of doubt in her eyes. “Where’s grandma?”
she asked.
“Grandma is taking a nap right now. You can go see her when
she wakes up,” her third aunt said.
Her uncle then said, “Grace, now that you are out of prison,
you have to be a decent person. You’re not with anyone now, right? Women should always find a man to rely on. I will
introduce you to a good partner later.”
