My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 

Grace silently studied the nurse’s actions from start to finish. Her expression did not change even when she saw the nasty 

wound on her palm. 

Only when the nurse was rebandaging Grace’s right hand with gauze did she unwittingly frown at the pain, but she did not cry out loud. 

“Let me do it. Get out,” Jason ordered the nurse. 

The nurse bowed out of the room respectfully. Jason took the gauze and bandaged Grace’s right hand in a very practiced manner. His movements were so gentle and careful that she could barely feel any pain in her hand. 

When he was done bandaging, he put down the gauze. “Try to use your right hand as little as possible for the next few days. Don’t clench your hand into a fist like you did just now. How much more blood do you want to lose?” 

She studied the dressing that he had done and noticed that the knot was tied very prettily. “You seem to be very practiced in bandaging wounds.” 

Shadows flashed through his eyes rapidly. “I learned some 

bandaging skills when I was young,” he said, then thought 

to himself, “Back then, Dad was running around looking for Mom, and sometimes when he noticed someone with a similar silhouette, he would rush forward and stop them. He got beaten up a lot because of that. 

“And I always helped Dad dress his wounds. I got pretty skilled 

at it after a long enough time. 

“Ever since Dad died, I haven’t bandaged someone like this. 

She is the only one.” 

“Next time, don’t hold shards of mirror in your hand. You were 

lucky this time to not have damaged your nerves. If you had, 

your hand would be crippled,” Jason said. 

Grace bit her lip. “But if I hadn’t done what I did last night, I 

wouldn’t have been able to retain consciousness and would 

have fainted, then… he would have been free to do what he 

wanted.” 

“Does it hurt?” he asked. “The scene I saw after barging in last 

night of her clutching the shard and bleeding incessantly has 

been deeply imprinted on my mind. 

“I have never seen a woman using such willpower to hold 

onto her consciousness. Even if her mental faculties were in 

a confused and semi-conscious state, her willpower was still strong enough for her to keep herself awake.” 

“It’s fine.” She lowered her gaze gently. “This amount of pain. is nothing to me. Jay, do you know? Even if you lied to me… I’m still very grateful that you saved me yesterday. Back when I was in jail, no matter how much I begged or pleaded, no one was willing to let me go because I had offended someone I shouldn’t have in Emerald City. Thus, all of the pain was what I 

deserved.” 

She paused to take a deep breath and continued, “But last night was different. When I was in pain, you came and it made me feel like I was not so lonely and helpless.” 

She replied softly but she did not notice that his expression had imperceptibly turned grave at her words.
