After leaving the hospital and going home to pack up, Grace Willows took a taxi to a hospital in Dongcheng.
Her adoptive mothers health is getting worse and worse, and she has been receiving treatment, and she has to go there every day to accompany her and talk.
"Mom, why are you sitting up?" Grace Willows pushed the door open and saw Fiona Stone struggling to get up from the hospital bed.
She was frightened and ran over to hold her arm, and then put a pillow behind her waist before she could lie down and sit up.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she blamed, "I told the doctor to let you rest in bed."
Fiona Stone smiled, and the corners of her eyes were full of the hardships and heartache of life.
But her eyes were very gentle when she looked at Grace Willows, and there was some apology.
"Im holding you back." She sighed softly.
Grace Willowss nose was sour, and she lowered her head to cover the mist in her eyes. When she raised her head, she was already smiling: "Whats the trouble between family members? Without you, there would be no me now."
When she was twelve years old, her biological mother passed away. As a good friend of her mother, Fiona Stone adopted her and worked hard to raise her and provide her with education.
She is grateful to her for all her life.
"Silly girl." Fiona Stone gently touched Grace Willowss cheek, as if she was looking at another person through her, "You and Lily look so much alike."
Lily Willows, Grace Willowss biological mother, was once a very popular star, but she was a beautiful woman with a thin life and passed away early.
If she were still alive and saw her grown-up daughter, she would be extremely happy!
However, her own body is not competitive, and Im afraid there are not many days to live.
Its estimated that she cant hold on to the day when she sees Xu Ran get married and have children.
"Knock knock -" The nurse knocked on the door, "Miss Willows, Dr. Lincoln asked you to go to his office."
...
Half an hour later, the hospital entrance sidewalk.
The sunlight penetrates the gaps in the leaves and falls on the ground, leaving a mottled white light, and everything seems very beautiful.
Grace Willows walked slowly, staggering, and she suddenly squatted down and hugged herself with her arms, as if only in this way could she give herself some comfort and strength.
Dr. Lincolns words rang in her ears: "Your mothers body needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible, otherwise she will leave this world at any time."
Surgery requires a large sum of money, what should she do?
"I must save my mother." Grace Willows bit her lips and dialed Evan Riverss phone, "I have something to find you... Okay, Ill be there now."
Proud as she is, it is so difficult for her to borrow money from her boyfriend, but in order to save Fiona Stones life, she cant care.
The appointment was at three in the afternoon, but Grace Willows arrived at Times Square at one oclock.
She stood next to the round landmark of the square, watching the people coming and going, and was in a daze.
Suddenly, she heard two voices that were too familiar to be too familiar: you said you would accompany me to watch a movie."
"April dear, Ill come to find you after dealing with things."
"Well, okay, my dad also wants us to come back for dinner in the evening."
"Okay, okay, Ill listen to you."
Grace Willows walked step by step towards the source of the sound, and finally was discovered by the two when she was one meter away from them.
At that time, April Andersons arm was hanging on Evan Riverss arm, and Evan Riverss hand was holding her waist.
In this situation, as long as you are not blind and stupid, you can see that the relationship between the two people is very deep, and Grace Willows has normal vision and a clear mind.
"I thought I was early." Grace Willows suddenly smiled, smiling desolately.
She looked at Evan Riverss dodging eyes, and her heart ached: "Evan, do you have nothing to say to me?"
April Anderson leaned her head on Evan Riverss arm and looked at Grace Willows provocatively: "Arent you all seen?"
"Xuran, I..." Evan Rivers suddenly regained his mind, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his arm out of April Andersons hand, but he failed.
Moreover, his behavior greatly angered April Anderson.
April Anderson not only did not let go but also hugged Evan Riverss arm more tightly, raising her sharp chin: "Last night you were very intimate with Charles Spencer? Since you have climbed a high branch, why do you still come to Evan here to pretend to be pure?"
Evan Riverss face turned red instantly, both shy and angry.
Thinking about Grace Willows lying safely in Charles Spencers arms made him extremely angry.
Thinking more and more, he became a bit incoherent: "Xuran, I didnt expect you to be this kind of person! Having a boyfriend is still not stable and thinking about hooking up everywhere!"
Grace Willowss face suddenly turned blue and red. Ha ha, this is the boyfriend she loves! He cheated first, and said she was indecent.
Who has thicker skin?
"Pa!"
Grace Willowss palm was numb, and she stared at Evan Rivers and said word by word: "Evan Rivers, you are good!"
"We broke up, and I dont want you! Because - things others have used, I think they are dirty!"
As if she really touched something dirty, Grace Willows took out a napkin and wiped the hand that slapped Evan Rivers hard.
After doing all this, Grace Willows turned around and left. Before leaving, she also threw the napkin that wiped her hand into the trash can.
"You!" Evan Rivers was so angry that he couldnt say a word for a long time, pointing at Grace Willowss back.
"You!" Evan Rivers was so angry that he couldnt say a word for a long time, pointing at Grace Willowss back.
"Evan, are you okay? She is obviously guilty! Evan..."
She walked very far before isolating those voices from her world, and Grace Willowss backbone was like a punctured balloon that deflated, and she staggered a few steps and held the nearby sycamore tree.
Looking up, she saw the sunlight shining white light in the sycamore leaves.
In a daze, she seemed to see the clean boy in the white shirt at that time, and thought of the little bit of being with Evan Rivers over the years.
He still didnt want her after all.
4 years of feelings, in a moment, became worthless.
Thinking of this, Grace Willows couldnt help crying out loud.
"I deliberately gave April Anderson the news that Grace Willows and Evan Rivers were going to meet, and as expected, that woman went there triumphantly."
Don Foxs fingers knocked on the steering wheel, and he looked at the man with a heavy face next to him:
"But, I say, why are you making such a big fuss? You wont, will you?"
The iron tree in ten thousand years is going to bloom?
Charles Spencer threw two words to him: "Get off the car!"
"What? What does it mean?"
Unfortunately, before Don Fox could understand, he had been asked to get off the car.
Looking up again, Charles Spencer had already driven to the front, and he didnt know what he said to let Grace Willows get on the car.
"Tut, the little white rabbit met the old fox." Don Fox shook his head and sighed deeply for Grace Willowss future.
In the car.
Charles Spencer put one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand took out a tissue to give her.
"I didnt cry." Grace Willows bit her lips.
"Wipe the blood on your lips." Charles Spencer said lightly, "Girls dont have to be so strong."
Grace Willows took the tissue and silently looked out of the window. At first, she was angry because of Evan Riverss betrayal, but now she has been completely overwhelmed by worry.
Just now, Dr. Lincoln called, and Fiona Stones condition suddenly worsened, and the situation is very dangerous.
Charles Spencer had just parked the car when Grace Willows pushed the car door and ran out. She was very nervous and almost stepped empty when she stepped on the stairs. Fortunately, the nearby Charles Spencer helped in time.
"Be careful." Charles Spencer held her arm and saw Grace Willows looking at herself in a daze. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Lets go."
When they arrived, Dr. Lincoln happened to come out of the ward.
Seeing Charles Spencer who came with Grace Willows, Dr. Lincoln was a bit surprised, but he still looked at Grace Willows first: "This time, it has been rescued, but it wont be so lucky every time."
"Thank you, doctor!" Grace Willows thanked again and hurried into the ward.
Seeing Fiona Stone lying on the hospital bed almost silently, her tears surged.
"I cant lose you, I cant..."
Charles Spencer looked at Grace Willowss trembling shoulders in the ward, and took back his sight to look at the nearby Dr. Lincoln: "I want to talk to you about Fiona Stones condition."
The sky gradually darkened. The weather was clear in the morning, but now it seems to be overcast.
Grace Willows has been guarding in the ward. In the middle, Fiona Stone woke up once, but she fell asleep again after saying two words.
She stared at Fiona Stone lying on the hospital bed with her eyes wide open, and her face had no expression, but her heart was in a mess.
People must be saved, but where can she borrow such a large sum of medical expenses?
"Marry me." A deep voice sounded behind her.
Grace Willows turned around abruptly, shocked.
Charles Spencer repeated again: "Marry me."
"I also understand your situation, and I need a wife." Charles Spencer looked at the woman quietly.
Grace Willows did not agree in one mouth, frowning and staring at Charles Spencer: "Why is it me? According to Mr. Qis status, as long as he releases a little news, there will be tens of thousands of people who want to be Mrs. Qi."
"But I dont have time to choose a suitable Mrs. Qi from tens of thousands of women." Charles Spencer said gently, "And I am very satisfied with you."
Grace Willowss mind was a mess. She knew that she looked very much like her deceased mother, and her mother was a big beauty when she was young, and she was definitely not ugly. But what can such a person like Charles Spencer lack?
But she has nothing now, what else can he plot?
"Dont worry, we just need each other." Charles Spencer directly explained, seeing Grace Willowss hesitation. "Today, I released the news that you are my fianc茅e to the media. If you dont end up with me in the end, those unscrupulous media dont know how to report it. And you need help, right?"
Grace Willows looked at Charles Spencer, and she felt that what he said was not wrong at all!
"Besides getting a marriage certificate, what else do you have to ask me?" She clenched her fingers.
Charles Spencer smiled and the rhythm of his fingers slowly knocked on his knee: "Fulfill your wifes duties, and sometimes you may need to face the media with me."
"Wifes duties?" Grace Willowss eyes widened suddenly and she blurted out, "No way!"
After saying this, she slowly lowered her head, and her eyes were full of bitterness. If Charles Spencer could really save her mother, what qualifications did she have to say no? The so-called marriage certificate is just another name for a contract for her.
"Unless you are willing, I will not force you to have a relationship." Charles Spencers eyes were full of deep pity, and he pitied and respected her. "As you said, what kind of woman do I want, why force someone who doesnt like me?"
Grace Willows twisted her fingers together and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
"What else are you worried about, just say it." Charles Spencer was gentle and elegant, completely different from the cold and arrogant appearance in the eyes of outsiders. "So as not to worry all day long in the future."
Grace Willows looked at the person in front of her and felt that the strength was slowly returning to her blood, and her desperate heart was slowly reviving.
"I hope to continue working.
"Evan," Grace Willows said seriously, "In addition to my mothers treatment costs, I can provide for other expenses."
"Okay." Charles Spencer nodded, "But I hope that as my wife, you can seek help from me when you encounter trouble."
Grace Willows looked at Charles Spencer and really felt respected. She nodded: "I promise not to be overbearing."
"Now you can say the third one."
Grace Willowss face became serious: "I hope that after my mother is discharged from the hospital, she can live with me."
"Although I think its better for your mother to live in a nursing home according to her condition, if you think its more appropriate to live at home, I dont object." Charles Spencer thought for a while and added, "I will arrange a family doctor."
For the conditions offered by Charles Spencer, Grace Willows couldnt refuse.
"Anything else?" Charles Spencer looked at Grace Willows, his eyes infinitely gentle.
She looked at Charles Spencers eyes and couldnt help asking, "What do you mean by a wifes duties you just said?"
"Integrate into my family." Charles Spencer looked at her with a smile, "And that is to sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Qi, and to fight against any women who have ulterior motives for your husband."
Grace Willows "ah" sounded, and her face turned red instantly.
Husband... Such an ambiguous word.
