This man, despite his physical flaws, displayed a gentle, refined, and calm demeanor. Grant never wallowed in self-pity or blamed others for his misfortune. But Bella instinctively did not want to be close to him. Even standing next to him made her feel suffocated.
It was an inexplicable feeling, hard to put into words.
“No, I’m fine, thank you,” Bella said, raising her arm and wiping the tears from her cheek with her sleeve.
She recalled how, in the past, she would often cry in front of Justin, tears and snot streaking down her face, shattering her usual composure.
However, Justin never offered her a handkerchief like this man did. Instead, she would just wipe her tears all over Justin’s collar and tie, leaving the usually refined and tidy nobleman looking disheveled because of her.
Yet he would still gently comfort her, kiss her red nose, and hold her close.
Grant tucked the handkerchief back into his pocket, speaking softly. “Justin has regained consciousness, but I’ve heard his brain injury has altered his personality. I’m afraid even if I found the right medicine, it wouldn’t fix the problem. Ms. Thompson, just give him some more time. He’ll gradually get better.”
“I don’t care how he’s changed.” Bella smiled with a mix of optimism and determination, her eyes brimming with tears. “I’m still young, and time will help him improve. Will a lifetime be enough for that?”
Grant’s eyes darkened slightly, but he sighed deeply from his heart. “In my whole life, I’ve never been jealous of anyone, except Justin.”
Bella looked at him again.
He leaned in slightly, a faint, cold scent surrounding her as he said in a low, deep voice, “Because... He has you.”
…
During the drive back from the hospital, Grant’s normally poised and composed manner appeared to change, leaving Clarice, who sat beside him, feeling uneasy.
The air in the car felt stifling, making it difficult for her to breathe comfortably.
“Sir, what’s wrong?” Clarice’s voice was gentle and cautious. “Justin woke up, and he’s indeed like a different person, no longer treating Bella as he once did. Isn’t all of this within your plans? What you want is to make Justin lose everything, to turn him into nothing more than a useless figure within the Salvador family, so that you can completely rise above him, right?”
Grant looked out the window with a cool, detached expression, his eyes dark and piercing like a blade. “But I believe, even if he loses everything, there’s one thing that will never leave him.”
Clarice asked, “What’s that?”
