Antonio’s condition was getting better, and Lancy’s departure date for studying abroad was set. Before she left, the person she worried about the most was Antonio. She knew Grace wouldn’t come back, but she still wanted to try.
“Grace.”
Laney only knew her workplace, so she waited downstairs for her to get off work. When Shane saw Laney, he couldn’t help but frown. Meanwhile, Grace felt a little relieved when she saw Laney alone.
“Shane. go home first. I’ll talk to her.”
Grace took Laney to a restaurant and ordered her favorite dishes, but Laney just sat there in tears. She was touched that Grace had always been good to her and still remembered what she liked to eat even now. At the same time, she was sad that she and Antonio had let her down.
“Silly girl, stop crying and have some food. I can hear your stomach growling.”
Grace was living a very good life now, so naturally, she no longer hated them. She knew neither Laney nor Antonio was a bad person. They just weren’t meant to be a family.
“Grace, I’m going abroad.”
Grace nodded. “So, you came to say goodbye?”
Laney nodded, then shook her head.
Then she continued, “My brother was sick recently, very sick. He kept calling your name, refusing to take his medicine or go to the hospital. He’s
lost a lot of weight. Before I go, I’m most worried about him.
“Without you, he didn’t eat well or sleep well. He’s been torturing himself every day. Grace, I know you’re happy now, but can you help me persuade him? I’m really worried about him.”
Grace was taken aback. She didn’t expect Antonio to really have feelings. for her. If it was before, she would have been overjoyed. However, she no longer wanted his love.
