\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 412<\/p>\n
“Alright, I\u2019ll ask your attending doctor. If he says you may leave, I\u2019ll do it for you at once. Is that OK?”<\/p>\n
Tassach gave in, nodding.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh said to Gracie, “Gracie, you stay and take care of Tassach. I\u2019ll go to his attending doctor.”<\/p>\n
“Just go, Mrs. Conduibh. I\u2019ll take good care of Tassach.”<\/p>\n
When Mrs. Conduibh walked away, Tassach ignored Gracie and left immediately.<\/p>\n
Gracie rushed up to Tassach, stretched out her arms to stop him and stared at him in a stubborn but injured way, saying, “Tassach, I\u2019ve been taking care of you for the last month. Even so, you still can\u2019t forget that woman who keeps you at an arm\u2019s length, can you?”<\/p>\n
Tassach looked down at her, heaved a sigh and replied, “Gracie, you\u2019re a good woman, and I\u2019m grateful that you\u2019ve worked so hard looking after me, but we\u2019re not right for each other. You\u2019re an amazing girl, and you can have whatever man you want. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary for you to waste your time on me.”<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t the first time Tassach had said such harsh words to Gracie, so she just ignored it, took his arm and changed the subject naturally. “I bought your favorite congee for you. Get back and have some, for the sake of me, huh? I don\u2019t think you\u2019d be cruel enough to turn down an offer from a beautiful girl, would you?”<\/p>\n
Tassach looked deep into Gracie\u2019s eyes, feeling helpless.<\/p>\n
“Gracie, do yourself a favor. My heart is occupied by someone, and there\u2019s no room left for anyone else.”<\/p>\n
Gracie choked back the tears and said, “Tassach, I love you, and you can do nothing about it. I believe you\u2019ll fall in love with me sooner or later. I have faith in you. Let\u2019s go. The congee is getting cold.”<\/p>\n
Tassach drew back his arm and muttered, “I can walk on my own.”<\/p>\n
Gracie looked at her empty hands, her lips curving into a bitter smile. However, staring at the lonely back of Tassach\u2019s in front of her, Gracie caught up with him at once and took his arm regardless.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m cold, Tassach, and it makes me feel better when I hold your arm. Please let me hold you,” Gracie looked up and pleaded.<\/p>\n
Tassach said nothing, but he didn\u2019t pull back his arm either, acquiescing.<\/p>\n
Gracie\u2019s mood brightened up a little, and she said, “Thank you, Tassach! I appreciate that you haven\u2019t said I\u2019m cheeky this time. I really love you. I can change myself for the sake of you, as long as you want me to.”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t bother. You\u2019re just fine the way you are. If you change yourself, you\u2019ll lose the character of your own.”<\/p>\n
“But if I don\u2019t, you won\u2019t fall in love with a girl like me, will you?”<\/p>\n
Tassach remained quiet, while Gracie\u2019s heart sank. The two of them went silent.<\/p>\n
“Let\u2019s go,” said Gracie, breaking the silence.<\/p>\n
Tassach went back to his ward with Gracie. She put a bowl of congee in front of him, and he had it quietly.<\/p>\n
“Is it good?”<\/p>\n
“Not bad.”<\/p>\n
“Then have another bowl if you like it! You\u2019ve lost a lot of weight in the last month. I feel awful watching you.”<\/p>\n
Tassach said nothing.<\/p>\n
“Technically speaking, I don\u2019t welcome you, but after all, you\u2019re our guest, and I can\u2019t just kick you out, can I?”<\/p>\n
Madeleine opened the door wide and said, “Come on in, or people would think I\u2019m picking on you.”<\/p>\n
Gracie edged past Madeleine and went into the ward.<\/p>\n
A hint of surprise flashed across Ophelia\u2019s eyes as she saw Gracie coming in, but she still got out of bed carefully, which startled Madeleine.<\/p>\n
“What are you doing, honey? You\u2019re not well yet, and don\u2019t worry me by doing something so dangerous.” Madeleine rushed up to Ophelia, helped her up and grumbled concernedly.<\/p>\n
Ophelia replied, “I\u2019m better now. You\u2019re overreacting.”<\/p>\n
“Come on! Mr. Dixon told us everything when he checked on you yesterday. It\u2019s true that you\u2019re getting well sooner than any other patient, but your ribs haven\u2019t fully recovered yet. You\u2019ll be the one to suffer if you tear your wounds open. So, be a good girl and lie in your bed, and don\u2019t make me worry!”<\/p>\n
Ophelia got amused by what Madeleine said.<\/p>\n
Gracie looked at them and sighed, “Seems that you\u2019ve been taken good care of.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia pointed at the sofa aside and said, “Take a seat, Miss King.”<\/p>\n
Gracie put down the flowers and fruit in her hands and said, “I learned from Tassach that you had a car accident. I thought you were almost dead, but now it turns out you\u2019re still alive.”<\/p>\n
Even a serpent couldn\u2019t have been more venomous than Gracie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1286","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
