Chapter 123
After Grace had washed up, Jason carried her back to bed,
and she saw that her meal had been served.
Although it was a simple meal consisting of porridge and
some other dishes, it looked appetizing. Grace’s tummy
suddenly growled loudly.
“The doctor recommended making you eat food that’s easy to digest,” Jason said.
He then started to put the dishes on the overbed table for her.
If anyone had witnessed the scene, their eyes would have popped out of their heads. Mr. Reed, the man who called the shots in Emerald City, was attending to a woman.
Grace took the utensils and started eating her food. When she lowered her head to eat, her long hair kept falling down her face, almost getting into the porridge.
Just as she was about to look for a hairband to tie up her hair with, Jason showed that he was one step ahead of her and said, “Let me do it.” As he spoke, he took out a hairband and a
comb that had been put to one side.
When Grace saw the logo on the hairband, she knew that it was branded. Before she had been imprisoned, she had bought a few hair accessories carrying this brand as her income had allowed her to do so back then.
She had not expected Jay to be so attentive to have prepared
such a trivial thing.
“Do you know how to do it?” she asked.
“I’ve seen you do it every day, so it’s no problem,” Jason
replied.
He took the comb and started combing her hair before tying it up. Although he was not skillful, he did a good job.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Jason said.
When the door opened, Terrence walked in. He was stunned
when he saw the scene.
“Is Mr. Reed… combing a woman’s hair for her?!”
Mr. Reed had never paid any attention to the women who had flung themselves at him, let alone combed their hair for them.
However, he seemed willing to do anything for Grace.
Grace was surprised by Jay’s actions. When she came to her senses after seeing Terrence’s expression, she realized that Jay was combing her hair!
She felt embarrassed instantly.
“What’s up?” Jason asked, continuing to comb her hair gently.
“It’s…” Terrence paused for a while and did not go on.
When Jason saw this, he knew that his words were not meant for Grace’s ears. After combing her hair, Jason said, “Sis, enjoy
your meal. I’m going out for a while.”
After they had gotten out of the ward, Terrence said, “The security guard caught a reporter trying to sneak in. The reporter found out that Miss Cummins had been admitted to the hospital so he came to look for news to report.”
Jason squinted his eyes and asked, “Is he looking for a scoop? How did he find out that Grace had been admitted to this
hospital?”
“He mentioned that someone posted on social media about you carrying Miss Cummins to this hospital last night, so he came to dig for information,” Terrence replied.
When Jason heard this, he asked coldly, “Was he trying to dig
up news about me or Grace?”
