Leaning Jay against his shoulders, Grayson helped him walk into the house step by step with difficulty.
Grayson put Jay on the sofa, and he fell onto it softly as if he had been drained of the strength to support his body. He glared at the ceiling with a trace of unresigned anger in his eyes.
Grayson poured a glass of warm water for him. When he returned to Jay, he saw big tears seeping out of the corner of Jay’s eyes.
This was the first time Grayson had seen Mr. Ares cry.
“Grayson, I’ve already given her all of my heart. Why does she still want to leave?”
He had a deserted look on his face and his eyes were hollow.
Even when he spoke, he looked weak.
“Mr. Ares, there’s something, but I don’t know if I should say it or not,” Grayson suddenly said.
“Speak.”
“Your wife’s leaving may be related to the madam. The people in the medical department saw madam going into Ward 11 today.”
Jay’s gaze shifted to Grayson’s face. He was startled for a moment, but then started sneering. “If she had firm faith that I’d never leave her, who could separate us?”
Grayson said again, “Maybe your wife was just confused for a bit. Maybe she’ll come back when she’s thinking clearly again.”
Jay’s vacant eyes lit up like a candle. That was the yearning light of hope.
However, at that time, he would never have thought that this candlelight would go out little by little during his long wait.
Rose’s willful departure turned his initial tolerance to a strong hatred.
He hated her for betraying his love for her.
He hated her for leaving so decisively and completely ignoring his pain.
He hated her for promising him not to leave him but breaking her promise and leaving again.
The assistant looked Rose up and down several times. There was doubt in her eyes. She then turned around and went in.
Not long after, Dr. Peter walked out. Upon seeing Rose in the waiting area, Dr. Peter looked disappointed. He turned around and walked back inside.
“Peter.” Rose quickly went forward to stop him.
Peter thought that the voice was familiar. He turned his head and stared at Rose in a daze. “You’re Rose Loyle?” He was in disbelief.
Rose nodded.
“Oh my God, what happened? How’d your face become like this?” Peter cried out in surprise.
Rose shrugged with a thoughtless look.
“Wasn’t it you who said it? That your plastic surgery skills could turn me into the most beautiful woman in the world. Now I’ve come here to test you. You have to turn me into the most beautiful woman in the world!”
Peter opened his mouth widely. “If you were the Rose back then, I could turn you into the most beautiful woman in the world. But the you now—“
