"Mom, I'm sorry.” Sabrina’s tears fell on the corner of Grace's blanket. Her voice was a little hoarse from crying. "I just joined the company, so I had to obey the arrangements of my boss. My boss made a last-minute decision to send me on a business trip for a few days, so I couldn't come to see you on time."
"It's my bad. My health is getting increasingly worse.”
The tubes on Grace’s body had not yet been removed. Grace looked at her body, then said with a bitter smile, "I do not know if I could still open my eyes again after closing them..."
"Mom, don’t say that. I do not want you to leave me. If you have left me, then I would be very lonely. I do not have much family in this world." Sabrina laid under Grace's nose and cried her heart out.
Sabrina was just rescued, but she did not return to Sebastian's place. She spent the whole day at the hospital taking care of Grace instead. Sabrina helped Grace clean her body, washed her hair, and clipped her nails. Grace was initially at the brink of passing, but the colors on her face became much better again.
Sabrina did such a thorough job caring for Grace, that Sebastian, the biological son, seemed redundant. Most of the time, he just stood quietly on the side and watched the pair of fake mother and daughter-in-law a s they talked and laughed.
After Sabrina watched Grace fall asleep, she left the hospital to return to Sebastian's and her place.
When she arrived home, Sabrina returned the emerald green bracelet to Sebastian before returning to her bedroom. "Such a valuable thing, I'd better return it to you."
The bracelet was placed on Sabrina's hand again by Sebastian when they were on the way to the hospital. He looked at Sabrina, did not accept the bracelet, but said soberly, "The bracelet is not for you, but for you to wear it to console my mother's heart."
Sabrina smiled faintly. "I had never presumed that you would give me anything valuable either."
After Sebastian saved her this time, Sabrina had more to say to Sebastian.
"Mr. Ford, when I first met with Aunt Grace, it was Aunt Grace who approached me. She saw that I was young, so she pitied me and took care of me. One thing led to another, and then we got more acquainted."
"After that, her health deteriorated. She could not do the work that was overloaded. It was me who helped her to finish.”
"This was the friendship we built when we were in prison."
"I had never been the scheming liar you thought I was."
