Ch. 111..120

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 111-Lily asked him a series of questions and each of them made Sean’s face turn paler.

“That’s enough, these things don’t have anything to do with each other. You need to stop asking,” Sean said vaguely.

Lily was not willing to comply. “Sean, we are engaged, and it won’t be long before we get married. Is there anything between us that we can’t talk about?” Sean hesitated. Of course, he wanted to confess. After all, the matter regarding Jason and Grace had been a weight on his mind.

Especially these days, his parents had been worried that he was still in love with Grace, so they had been nagging him not to go and see her again.

But he had long since stopped having feelings for her!

He had to force himself to not say anything, but at the same time, he also worried about Lily getting the wrong idea.

“Lily, there are some things that I can’t say.” Sean took a deep breath.

Lily stared at him and said, “Does Zoe’s injury have something to do with Grace?” Sean looked at his fiancée in surprise and could not speak. His expression convinced her that she was right.

“So it really does have something to do with her. Don’t tell me that Grace got to know some people with a background of being in prison?” Lily continued to guess.

However, before Sean could answer, a voice suddenly rose. “Well, isn’t that just great. So it turns out that I got injured because of Grace!” Zoe limped over. Originally, she had just wanted to call her brother and Lily to return to the main hall, and she had not been expecting to hear this.

Speaking of getting injured, she was terribly depressed. Her feet were broken, and she had suffered a lot in the hospital. She had become a joke among her friends.

And in the end, not only had she been unable to find out who had made her like this, but she had also been unable to attend her brother’s engagement party.

She had a belly full of anger. She was furious when she heard that Grace had sent someone to deal with her. She wanted to find Grace immediately and settle the score.

“Brother, if you keep speaking up for Grace, I will not recognize you as my brother anymore! I don’t know when my foot will recover, and it might not even heal completely in the future. Brother! Grace sent people to hurt me. I have to cripple her leg, otherwise, I might as well change my surname!” Zoe said ruthlessly.

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone, looking as if she wanted to call for assistance.

“As I said before, if you want to live peacefully, don’t bother Grace!” Sean exhorted.

“Why? Who does she think she is? Do you think that I’m afraid of her? Does she think it’s enough to find some people she knows in prison to help her?” “That’s right. After all, Zoe is the young lady of the Stevens family. If she does not retaliate when being bullied, then everyone would walk all over the Stevens family’s head in the future,” Lily said, speaking up for Zoe.

“What do you all know? It’s Jason who’s behind Grace!” Sean blurted this sentence out in response. As soon as he said it, his face turned pale.

This matter had actually been revealed by him. If Jason were to find out about it… Like him, Lily’s and Zoe’s faces also looked pale.

It was Jason?

“How is this possible? How could Jason have helped Grace? Back then, she caused Jennifer’s death!” Zoe said in disbelief.

Sean said straightforwardly, “Believe it or not, it’s true. Jason may have taken an interest in Grace. In short, Zoe’s injury this time should also be the work of Jason. In addition, it’s Jason who said that he didn’t want Zoe to attend the engagement party.”” 

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 112-Zoe almost fainted.

She had not been expecting the reason for her suffering such a serious injury to be that Jason had wanted to vent Grace’s anger for her.

Why was it Grace?!

In the past, Jennifer Atkinson had been a famous beauty! As for Grace… Well, even if Zoe admitted that Grace was a good-looking woman, after three years of imprisonment, she was now a street sweeper. Without maintaining her looks at all in those years, how beautiful could she be?

How could Jason, who had gotten used to beautiful women, be interested in Grace?!

“So don’t go and make trouble for Grace anymore,” Sean warned his sister.

“Also, you’d better bury what I said to you today in your heart. Don’t say it to anyone. Not even your parents! Jason said that he doesn’t want others to know about it. Me telling you this today is already a big mistake.” Zoe stopped talking. If it had been someone else, she could still have found a way to vent her anger. But if it was Jason… if she really provoked this person, the Stevens family might not be able to stay in Emerald City anymore.

That person…some said that he was the king of Emerald City, some said that he was the god of war in the business world, and some said that he was simply… crazy.

It was said that there was once a woman who had bought out a hotel manager and acquired the details of the room.

number along with a set of spare keys for his room in the hotel.

because she wanted to get close to him. She wanted to have a romantic encounter.

As a result, the woman was wrapped in bedsheets and thrown directly out onto the road outside of the entrance of the hotel.

Later, the woman’s family business started encountering trouble everywhere.

The daughter of an originally-rich family became a pauper in less than a year, and she could only sell herself in a nightclub to make a living.

As for the hotel manager who had been bribed, it was said that no one saw him in Emerald City ever again. Some said. that he had left the city, some said that he died, and some said that he was kidnapped by a human trafficker to do menial labor.

In short, there were all kinds of rumors about what had happened.

All in all, Jason was definitely a vicious person. If she offended him, she would drag her entire family down with her.

It was also after the incident that many of the notable socialites in the city no longer dared to target Jason.

Although Jason was physically attractive and rich, who wanted to take that risk?

After all, the socialite who had become a nightclub lady had become the subject of jokes and served as a warning to these Emerald City socialites.

“Did you hear me?” Sean asked again.

“I… I know. It’s no big deal. I just won’t mess with Grace in the future,” Zoe said reluctantly.

Zoe took a few awkward steps and left the garden. Sean turned to Lily and said, “Let’s go back to the hall.” However, at that moment, Lily’s brows were tightly knitted together, and her expression was extremely unsightly.

“What’s wrong? You can’t accept that Jason fell for Grace?” Sean asked. After all, Grace had killed Jennifer Atkinson in the past.

“Do you think… that Jason might reopen the case for Grace?” Lily asked.

“Reopen the case?” “After all, with Jason’s abilities, it would not be impossible for him to clear Grace’s name. If Grace’s case were really reopened, then my sister’s death…” Lily gritted her teeth and clenched her fist tightly as her body trembled.

“Don’t think too much. Do you think it will be so easy to reverse the court’s verdict? All the evidence back then pointed to her. Even if Jason wanted to reverse the verdict for her, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be easy.” Sean patted his fiancée’s shoulder and comforted her. “What’s more, Jason is just acting on the spur of the moment. With Grace’s status, it’ll be impossible for her to marry into the Reed family. I’m afraid that the old man of the Reed family will be the first to reject her.” When Lily heard this, her eyebrows gradually relaxed. “That’s for the best.

Otherwise, my sister would have died in vain. I knew I had let her off too easily when she was in prison!” Sean pursed his thin lips. “Let her off too easily?” The scene of her ten fingers bleeding and every bone in her fingers being broken flashed in his mind again.

Back then, he had watched coldly from the side. One could even say that he had been an accomplice.

If one day Grace wanted Jason to seek justice for her, then he and the Stevens family would…

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 113-Thinking of this, Sean couldn’t help but shiver. He looked at Lily next to him.

Now, the Stevens family and the Atkinson family were in the same boat. “Even if Jason was really interested in Grace, he wouldn’t… take action against both families for a woman, right?” After all, Grace ending up in that state back then was all her own fault, right?

Grace felt that she had been having a very long dream.

In her dream, she felt like she had returned to prison. No matter how hard she tried to escape or plead for mercy, she could not escape the torture.

Bone-chillingly cold, filthy water, punches and kicks rained down on her as the people said with mocking tones, “Look, she was a great lawyer, an intellectual.

But now, she is just like us. Actually, she’s not even better than me right now.

She can’t even fight back!” How long was she supposed to endure all this suffering? Why… Why did she have to suffer such pain when she hadn’t done anything wrong?

“Grace, do you know what was your biggest mistake? Offending the lord of Emerald City.” “Grace, anyone who offends Jason will not have a good ending.” “Grace, Mr. Reed is merciful. That’s why he didn’t kill you. Otherwise, you would have died in prison!” Merciful? She had been imprisoned for three years. She was wounded all over.

She might not ever be able to have a child in her life. Could this be called being merciful?

She felt so much pain that it was as if her body was about to explode.

Who would save her from all this suffering?

“Don’t… don’t…” She struggled desperately, but she didn’t know what she was struggling for. Was it because she wanted to break free from the pain in her body, or was it because she wanted to break away from such a tragic fate?

Who could help her? Who could protect her?

“Sis, it’s okay. I’m here. I’m right here. No one can hurt you.” A familiar voice sounded by her ear.

“Whose voice is this?” “Oh, right, it’s Jay! Jay!” Grace opened her eyes with some difficulty. What entered her view was a face that was as handsome as a deity’s.

This was… Jay! But… it seemed that there was something different about him.

“Sis, you’re finally awake. Are you still feeling unwell?” Jason’s cold voice contained a hint of tenderness.

Grace shook her head. After she had sat up with his help, she realized that there was something different about him.

His thick bangs were now combed back, revealing his full forehead. He was wearing a tailor-made suit with a fie around his neck and had a watch on his wrist. Grace recognized the watch’s brand. If this watch was authentic, then it would have to be worth at least a few million dollars.

“Is this… Jay?” She blinked her eyes and felt that everything was a bit surreal.

“Sis, what’s wrong?” he asked again because she looked to be in a trance.

“Are… are you really Jay?” she asked in a low voice.

“Yes, I am,” he replied.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 114-“But… you’re wearing…” Only then did he realize that the outfit he was wearing was the same one that he had worn the day before for dinner with his grandfather.

“If I were the Jay she knows, I wouldn’t be able to afford to wear things like this.

“However, after all that we went through last night, I don’t wish to conceal my identity anymore. After all, I’ll have to tell her who I really am sooner or later. If I do it now, it’ll just be at bit sooner than originally planned.

“And once she knows my real identity, it’ll be easier for me to take her under my wing.” “Even if I’m dressed differently, I’m still Jay, right?” he asked. with a faint smile as he looked at her.

At that moment, even if Grace had been an idiot, she would have been able to sense that something was wrong. She realized that there were some things that were not as she had originally imagined.

“You’re not a homeless person?

“I’m not,” he confessed.

“Then… why did you pretend to be a homeless person?” A feeling of having been deceived rose within her and she glared at him. Her two hands clenched tightly to the bedding covering her and her fingers trembled slightly.

“The younger brother who I thought was innocent and had no one to depend on is not at all what I thought. It had been my own wishful thinking from start to end.

“It’s just as Lina said. I knew nothing of him and yet I rashly brought him back home.

“And if he isn’t really a homeless person, why was he staying with me in that cramped rental apartment? What do the days that we spent living together mean to him?” “I didn’t pretend. You made an assumption and I didn’t correct it,” he argued.

Grace paused slightly, and for a moment, she did not know how to refute him.

“Then… then why did you still live with me? You have a house!” she exclaimed as she glared at him.

“Because it felt good living with you and…” he said and raised a hand to lightly smooth out her rather messy hair. “Back then, you were the one who ‘wanted’ me. That’s why I stayed, okay?” Grace bit her lip as her face paled and reddened repeatedly.

“That’s right! I was the one who took the initiative from start to end!” She pushed back the covers, wanting to get out of bed and leave the place, but as soon as her feet touched the floor, her body suddenly weakened and she fell forward.

It was as if her legs had turned to mush, devoid of energy.

He stretched out his arms and caught her. “The drugs in your body haven’t been completely discharged yet. You were suffering the whole night yesterday, so I’m afraid you don’t have any energy for now.” His reminder caused her to suddenly recall the incident that had happened the previous night. “Last night… I was drugged by my uncles and then…they took me over to Miller’s house.” Grace’s face paled instantly. “After that, I… I was carried into Miller the Fool’s room. Then… they closed the room door and the fool lunged at me…” “Last night, I…” Her lips trembled and her entire body shiverea.

He lowered his head to study the woman in his embrace. “At this moment, she’s just like a small and weak animal. She looks so fragile, as if she couldn’t withstand a single blow. She’s so goddamn… pitiful.” 

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 115-“People can’t help but want to protect her at all costs.” “Too many people call me cruel and cold-blooded, and yet they would never expect that I want to protect her.” “It’s okay. The thing you feared would happen didn’t happen last night. When I rushed over, it was just in time,” Jason said.

“It really is him… who saved me!” Grace raised her head and dazedly stared at the face that was inches away from her. “But why did you go there to save me?” She thought to herself, “He didn’t even come with me to town yesterday!” “Sister, did you forget? You called me and I rescued you,” he replied with a faint smile. “Luckily, I got there in time.” “After only a phone call, he was able to travel more than a hundred kilometers just in time to save me?!” Grace felt an indescribable shock coursing through her heart.

He spoke as he carried her to the bed and carefully tucked her under the covers. “Your hand was cut by the mirror shard. It’ll probably take a few days for it to heal. If there’s a scar, I’ll hnd the best doctors to remove it for you.” Only then did Grace notice that her right hand was bandaged a layer of gauze. She had been so distracted by the many shocking revelations that she had not realized that there was a dull pain in her right hand.

“How much of yesterday do you remember, Sister?” Jason asked with a serious expression.

Grace bit her lip lightly and did not try to hide the events that had happened the night before during the dinner, relaying everything to Jason without reservation.

Jason’s expression darkened. “Her relatives are truly… they sold her to a fool!

They sure have guts!

“If anyone dares to scheme against her, I will never let them get away!” Just then, Jason’s phone suddenly rang and he frowned as he glanced at the caller ID. He then turned to Grace and said, “I lied to you when I hid my identity from you. You can have me apologize to you in any way you like, but now that you’re hospitalized, you should take good care of yourself. I’ll go and get the doctor.” When Jason was done talking, he left the room and gave instructions to Terrence, who had been keeping watch outside. “Grace has already woken up. Call for the doctor to check on her condition.” Only after he had finished giving orders did he answer the call. Mr. Reed’s voice rang at the other end of the phone. “Why did you take so long to pick up?” “I’m a little busy,” Jason replied calmly.

“Is it related to the woman you saved last night?” Mr. Reed asked frankly.

Jason was not surprised that the Old Master had found out about last night’s incident. After all, he had been pressed for time the night before and had informed the town’s police beforehand.

He had mobilized their forces, and members of the Miller family and Grace’s relatives were still locked up in the small town’s police station. It had been easy for the Old Master to investigate the matter due to the paper trail left behind.

“What is your current relationship with this woman?” The tone of the Old Master’s voice had gone cold.

“She’s someone I’m protecting,” Jason replied lazily, “so you shouldn’t touch her.” “Don’t forget how your father died!” The Old Master suddenly raised his voice. “Do you want to follow in your father’s footsteps?” Jason’s expression darkened instantly. “Dad’s past has always been a taboo to me!” “I didn’t forget,” Jason replied coldly. “Grandpa, I’m not like Father. I would never risk everything for a woman, so you don’t have to worry too much!”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 116-Once he was done talking, he ended the call.

Mr. Reed stared at the phone in his hand for some time before passing it to the attendant nurse.

“I shouldn’t worry? It would be great if it were true and yet sometimes, his lack of self-awareness is the most terrifying thing. Just like my son all those years ago who promised me: ‘Dad, I will never forgo the Reed family’s responsibilities for a woman.’ “And yet, ultimately, my son abandoned the Reed family for a woman. He didn’t even want his life!” “Look into it and find out who that woman is. I want to know every single detail about that woman,” Mr. Reed ordered calmly.

“Yes,” said a man wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses who was sitting in the corner of the hospital room, his fingers rapidly flying across the laptop keyboard.

Grace lay in the hospital bed, her mind still in a mess. After all, plenty of things had happened within the span of a day and she could not come to her senses.

The doctor and nurse had just visited to run some basic tests on her, taking some of her blood and conducting some examinations. Only in the afternoon, after the blood test results had come out, could they determine her condition.

Just then, someone gently knocked at the door to her room. and then pushed it open to enter.

Grace studied the young man dressed in a suit and tie who looked fair and gentle. “He’s probably only a few years older than me.” The man looked at Grace with a smile and said, “Nice to meet you, Miss Cummins. I am Terrence… ‘Jason’s’ secretary. This is your phone and bag. Can you please check the items in your bag and confirm that nothing is missing?” As he spoke, he put her things in the storage space at Grace’s headboard. Just as he was about to leave, Grace suddenly called after him. “Who… who is ‘Jason’?” Terrence respectfully replied, “You’ll know when you have to, Miss Cummins. I’m just a secretary.” Grace changed the topic of conversation and asked, “Then do you know the situation at my family’s old residence?” Terrence did not avoid her question. “Your uncles and aunt, as well as their spouses and children, have been temporarily detained. Originally your grandfather was also detained by the police but due to his advanced age, and in order to have someone by your grandmother’s side to take care of her, he was released on bail.” Grace was surprised. “I didn’t know that suddenly so many people would be detained. At home… the only person who actually stood up for me was Grandma.” When Grace recalled the scene of the previous night, bitterness flashed through her heart.

“Furthermore, the Miller family is also currently being detained at the police station,” Terrence added.

When Terrence left the ward, Grace looked around the spacious room. “A highclass VIP ward and a personal secretary. Moreover, there was more than one doctor who came to check on me just now. There were several of them and they were all chief physicians.

“Furthermore, there were signs of them taking great care and showing respect in their attitudes when they were treating 1.

“I’m sure they weren’t respectful because of my identity. They only did so because I have the support of ‘Jason’.

“Who the hell is Jason?!” Grace felt as if her mind was even more muddled. She then picked up her bag that had been placed at the headboard and remembered that it had been left at her grandmother’s house.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 117-She opened her bag and saw that all of her belongings were still inside.

Her mobile phone had been discovered at the Miller residence and had been taken away from her. The phone had been turned off so Grace restarted it. She saw that her notifications were made up of a series of missed calls and text messages.

Some were from her grandmother, a few were from Lina, and there were a couple of strange calls as well.

“I can more or less guess the reason for Grandma calling me, but Lina…” She looked at her notifications and realized that Lina had called her nearly twenty times.

Grace quickly returned her call.

Lina hurriedly answered it. “Grace, is that you?” “Yes, my phone was… turned off yesterday. I only turned it on today and just saw your missed calls,” Grace explained.

Lina let out a long sigh. “My goodness! I called you last night but it didn’t go through. You said that you were going to your grandmother’s house and I was worried that something had happened to you. Other than your grandmother, the relatives from her side of the family are all the kind of people who hit others when they’re down.” Lina prattled on. She had called Grace from the previous night all the way through to the next morning but had not gotten through at all. The more she had thought about it, the more anxious she had felt so she had decided that if she still could not reach her friend by noon, she would go straight to her grandmother’s house in the afternoon since she knew the address.

“By the way, they didn’t do anything bad last night, did they?” Lina asked anxiously.

“They wanted to sell me off to a fool to be his wife and use the money to buy a house.” Grace did not try to conceal the truth and relayed to Lina the incident that had happened the night before at her grandmother’s house.

Lina listened with gritted teeth. “Why are there such shameless people? You weren’t taken advantage of, were you?” “I’m fine. Jay saved me, nothing happened to me,” Grace replied.

“Are you currently back at the rental apartment? I’ll come and find you,” Lina said.

“Don’t. I’m… I’m not back yet. I’m with Jay now. I’ll meet you again when I’m back,” Grace hurriedly replied.

Lina advised Grace to be careful and indignantly said, “Your family members should be punished. If you let them off too easily this time, they might sell you out again.” “Yeah, I know,” Grace said.

After hanging up, she hesitantly stared at the missed call from her grandmother.

“What should I tell Grandma? Should I pretend that the incident never happened or should I say… that my uncles and aunt are being punished as they deserve?” She took a deep breath and dialled her grandmother’s number. Not long after, the call was picked up and she could hear her grandmother’s slightly trembling voice. “Grace, is that you?” “Yes.” Grace could not help but feel her nose tingling upon hearing her grandmother’s voice.

“Grace, did…did something happen to you yesterday? I… I heard that you were later saved by an important person. Did Miller the fool take advantage of you?

Did they…” “No, Grandma, I’m fine. Nothing happened last night,” Grace explained.

“That’s good, that’s good.” Her grandmother’s tone showed her relief. “If something had happened to you, how would I face your mother when I go to heaven!” Grace could feel a tingling sensation in her nose again.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 118-Just then, Mr. Kelleigh’s urging tone rang out at the other end of the phone.

“Why aren’t you asking Grace to rush to the police station to withdraw the case so that our children can be released!?” “Released? Why should they be released? They’ve committed such an evil act, they should be locked up for as long as they deserve!” “They’re your own children! Do you have to do this for a person who doesn’t share our family name?” “What are you talking about? She’s my daughter’s daughter!

Her mother isn’t here so this old woman must support her!” “Are you doing this so no one will care for you when you’re old? Or are you going to depend on your granddaughter who has been to prison to provide for you and attend your funeral?” The two old people continued their argument as if they had forgotten that the call was still connected. A moment passed before her grandmother realized that the phone was still on and said, “Grace, are you still there?” “I’m here,” Grace replied.

“I’m relieved to know that you’re fine. Your uncles, aunt, and cousins must have been blinded by money to commit such an immoral act. You don’t have to withdraw the case. Lock them up for as long as they deserve!” Grandmother exhorted in a stubborn manner and immediately hung up the phone.

Grace clutched the phone and started sobbing uncontrollably. “I had thought that Grandma was calling me to ask me to let go of the incident and not look into it. I thought she wanted me to ask the police station to release those people.

“I really never expected that Grandma would be calling to support me!

“It’s just like when I was young and Dad left me at Grandma’s and I was bullied by the other kids in town. When I was snivelling, Grandma would tug my hand and ask me to take her to look for the bullies.

“Grandma would say, ‘Grace, don’t cry. Grandma’s here. Grandma will support Grace. We shouldn’t bully others but that doesn’t mean we should be bullied by them!’ “Grandma would reason with others for my sake. If she couldn’t reason with them, she would even roll up her sleeves and act like a crazy woman.

“And yet, I found her so adorable when she acted that way. In everyone else’s eyes, I was just a kid who had lost their mother and turned into a child from a previous marriage after Dad married my stepmother.

“But in Grandma’s eyes, I was always her darling.

“Grandma always said, ‘When Grace is all grown up, I’ll be able to live in comfort! And yet, when I grew up, I went to jail just when I had become able to let Grandma live in comfort.

“At first, when Grandma heard the news of my incarceration, she was stricken with illness and struggled before recovering a little last year.

“Grandma is well aware that if she stands by my side, she will be opposing Grandpa. She’s bound to fall out with the family and might not even be able to stay in that house any longer, but she still chooses to stand with me.” A constant stream of tears rolled down her face, dripping onto her hands, the bedcovers… When Jason entered the room, he saw Grace hugging her phone and crying incessantly.

He frowned hard and hurried to her bedside. He held her face in his hands and asked, “Sister, what’s wrong? Do you feel ill?” Her eyes were misty with tears as she studied the man before her and shook her head.

However, her response only made him more worried. “Sister, what happened to make you cry like this? Tell me. No matter what it is, I can help you solve it.” He dried her tears with his hands and when his fingers touched her tears, he could feel his fingertips burning.

“Her tears are so warm to the touch, they’re scorching hot.”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 119-“Her tears always make me feel a sense of helplessness. It’s as if I would be willing to do anything to make her stop crying.” Grace cried out loud and suddenly leaped into Jason’s embrace, bawling noisily.

She could not explain why she had done such a thing at this time. And yet, when she hugged him with her face pressed to his chest, it was as if she did not need to suppress herself and she could release all the hurt in her heart without fear.

Jason lowered his head and studied the woman sobbing in his embrace. He hugged her gently, letting her cry her heart out.

Grace didn’t know how long she had been crying for and when it ended, it was as if there were no more tears for her to shed.

Jason used a tissue to gently wipe the tears from her face. “Sister, can you tell me what really happened?” “It’s Grandma,” she said as she sniffled.

“Did she come to you to beg for leniency?” he asked, his gaze darkening slightly.

“No, Grandma just asked if I was fine and told me to ignore my relatives, saying that they should be locked up for as long as they deserve,” Grace replied in a nasal tone.

Jason was rather surprised. “Your grandmother is a good woman.” “Grandma is very good to me,” Grace murmured. “It just never occurred to me that Grandma’s treatment of me would be so good. She is willing to be at odds with the entire family in the name of upholding justice for me.” “What about you? Do you want to let your relatives go?” Jason asked.

Grace raised her gaze and stared fixedly at the man before her.

Jason continued, “If you want to let them go then I’ll inform the police station to do so. If you want to punish them, I can get a lawyer and make sure they rot in prison for the rest of their lives.” He spoke casually, as if this was a very simple matter to him.

Grace was slightly stunned. “I studied law. I know that once the nature of the crime changes, the charge will also be substantially altered.

“But no ordinary lawyer would be able to win a case like this. To really ensure that my relatives would stay in prison for the rest of their lives, only a few truly exceptional lawyers would be able to take this to court!” “Who are you?” Grace asked. When the question slipped out, she could feel her heart thudding from nerves and she even subconsciously held her breath.

Grace’s long lashes trembled slightly and when Jason noticed that her hands were anxiously clenched into tight fists, he could not help frowning. He reached out to lift her right hand, which was wrapped in bandages, and pried open her clenched fist.

“Sister, you don’t have to be so nervous. Clenching your hand like this will only make it harder for the wound to heal,” he said, noticing that blood had already seeped through the bandage around her palm.

It appeared that her wound had been torn open when she had clenched it into a fist just then.

Jason pressed the button to call for the nurse.

The nurse arrived shortly and when she heard of the situation, she hurriedly removed the bandages from Grace’s right hand. The wound on Grace’s palm which had been caused by the mirror shard during the previous night’s incident was bleeding incessantly.

The nurse applied some medicine on the wound to stop the bleeding.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 120-Grace silently studied the nurse’s actions from start to finish. Her expression did not change even when she saw the nasty wound on her palm.

Only when the nurse was rebandaging Grace’s right hand with gauze did she unwittingly frown at the pain, but she did not cry out loud.

“Let me do it. Get out,” Jason ordered the nurse.

The nurse bowed out of the room respectfully. Jason took the gauze and bandaged Grace’s right hand in a very practiced manner. His movements were so gentle and careful that she could barely feel any pain in her hand.

When he was done bandaging, he put down the gauze. “Try to use your right hand as little as possible for the next few days. Don’t clench your hand into a fist like you did just now. How much more blood do you want to lose?” She studied the dressing that he had done and noticed that the knot was tied very prettily. “You seem to be very practiced in bandaging wounds.” Shadows flashed through his eyes rapidly. “I learned some 3.

bandaging skills when I was young,” he said, then thought to himself, “Back then, Dad was running around looking for Mom, and sometimes when he noticed someone with a similar silhouette, he would rush forward and stop them. He got beaten up a lot because of that.

“And I always helped Dad dress his wounds. I got pretty skilled at it after a long enough time.

“Ever since Dad died, I haven’t bandaged someone like this.

She is the only one.” “Next time, don’t hold shards of mirror in your hand. You were lucky this time to not have damaged your nerves. If you had, your hand would be crippled,” Jason said.

Grace bit her lip. “But if I hadn’t done what I did last night, I wouldn’t have been able to retain consciousness and would have fainted, then… he would have been free to do what he wanted.” “Does it hurt?” he asked. “The scene I saw after barging in last night of her clutching the shard and bleeding incessantly has been deeply imprinted on my mind.

“I have never seen a woman using such willpower to hold onto her consciousness. Even if her mental faculties were in a confused and semi-conscious state, her willpower was still strong enough for her to keep herself awake.” “It’s fine.” She lowered her gaze gently. “This amount of pain. is nothing to me.

Jay, do you know? Even if you lied to me… I’m still very grateful that you saved me yesterday. Back when I was in jail, no matter how much I begged or pleaded, no one was willing to let me go because I had offended someone I shouldn’t have in Emerald City. Thus, all of the pain was what I deserved.” She paused to take a deep breath and continued, “But last night was different.

When I was in pain, you came and it made me feel like I was not so lonely and helpless.” She replied softly but she did not notice that his expression had imperceptibly turned grave at her words.

“If there is anything that I regret in this life, it must be letting those people hurt her in jail all those years ago.

“Usually, I wouldn’t care about the pain a woman went through in jail. Even if they died in there, I would just smile faintly at the news.

“And yet now, I don’t want her to be hurt in the slightest.” “I’m sorry,” he mumbled.

She raised her gaze and looked at him confusedly. “Why are you apologizing? If you hadn’t come last night, I wouldn’t be safe and sound now.” She thought that he was apologizing for last night’s incident. “If he hadn’t come last night, then my fate… it’s obvious what would have happened.

“I would have been imprisoned in the Miller residence until I gave birth to a child for the Miller family.” As the idea occurred to her, her face unwittingly paled.

Then she spoke to him as if she had mustered all of her courage. “The person I offended was Jason. Back then, the Stevens family was afraid that I would implicate the Stevens Group, so Sean broke up with me. Now that you’re helping me, what if it angers Jason…?” “I think he might be one of those rich people and probably has some business dealings with the Reed family. After all, the Reed family is involved in providing the basic necessities of many residents of Emerald City. Some industries have even been monopolized by the Reed family. Therefore, Emerald City is sometimes jokingly referred to as the Reed family’s city.”
