Chapter 760 Feeling Sorry for Him 1
Grace smiled slowly and replied, "You don't think I'm such a kind person that I wouldn't dare to fight back when bullied and would even speak well of her, do you?"
Quentin shook his head, "No, I just want to know what you were thinking."
"At that time, she came over and caused a scene. I was really angry. You were in the operating room, hanging by a thread, and all she cared about was how I seduced you, without any concern for your safety."
"Later, I got slapped, and I was even angrier, but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. That would only affect the doctors performing the surgery and affect you."
Grace spread her hands nonchalantly, "So I didn't pursue it further."
"Besides, you were in such a bad state at the time. I couldn't let you wake up and deal with your girlfriend and your mom's issues."
"She doesn't care about you, but I do. I don't want to make things difficult for you, and I don't want you to be on edge even while recovering."
Grace had suffered a great deal of injustice.
But she didn't complain to him or act like she had been greatly wronged.
She was so calm, just slowly recounting the events.
But the calmer she was, the more Quentin's heart ached.
"I'm sorry." Before he could finish his sentence, Grace covered his lips and gently shook her head, "I know what you want to say, don't say it. I don't like that word."
Quentin's eyes were deep, and his guilt grew even deeper.
"Grace, I made you suffer."
He stroked her hair, feeling immense heartache.
Grace shook her head, "As long as I can be with you, it's not too much suffering."
As they arrived at the ward, the entire hallway was filled with people standing in a row.
Seeing this, it was obvious that Ruby had arrived.
Quentin turned to Grace, seeking her opinion, "Do you want Willie to take you for a walk and get a cup of coffee?"
"Are you sure you want to face her alone?"
"Yes, it's better if you're not here."
Grace nodded, "Okay."
As soon as Grace left, Quentin entered the ward.
Seeing him, Ruby immediately ran over nervously, "Quentin, how are you? Is your wound okay?"
"You just woke up, your wound hasn't healed, and you ran away from the hospital."
"If something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?"
Quentin sat on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, leaned his head back slightly, and closed his eyes for a moment before slowly opening them.
But his eyes instantly became extremely sharp. "Do you really care about me?"
"Quentin, what are you saying? Of course, I care about you. What mother doesn't care about her son?"
"Don't think I don't know. You left the hospital just now because of that bitch Grace. You got shot because of her. Quentin, listen to me, as long as she's by your side, nothing good will happen. She's a bitch, and she's out to get you."
Quentin's fists clenched tighter and tighter, his sharp brows furrowing deeply.
Suddenly, he knocked the cup on the table to the ground with a punch.
His sharp gaze shot over coldly, "You hit Grace while I was unconscious."
"Well, you are my mother, and I can't hit you back for Grace."
"But today, I'm telling you to stop your thoughts immediately. I won't be with Caroline. The person I love is Grace, and I will marry Grace soon."
"Don't let your dirty thoughts affect any of us, otherwise the bond between us shall be forever severed."
This statement was like a bolt from the blue.
Ruby clutched her chest, unable to believe what she was hearing.
"Quentin, you're willing to sever our relationship for a bitch?"
Quentin lifted his eyes and looked at her coldly.
His thin lips were cold and sharp, and he only uttered one word, "Yes."
"So, please don't test my patience and determination anymore."
"This is my final warning. Don't call her a bitch. She is Grace, my girlfriend. Insulting her is insulting me."
Ruby trembled with anger.
Quentin, whom she had raised for decades, and her plans that she had been plotting for so many years, were all ruined because of Grace.
Not only that, but Grace also stole Quentin's heart.
How could Ruby calm down?
She suppressed her anger and held onto the last bit of hope to change his mind.
"What about Helen? Are you going to abandon Helen, too?"
Quentin's lips curled coldly as he looked at her, "Don't make me look down on you. Using Helen as a bargaining chip again and again, whether I'm part of the Taft family or not, Helen will always be my sister. But you, that's not certain."
Ruby was heartbroken, her eyes red with anger.
She stumbled and almost fell, but luckily, she grabbed onto something in time.
"Fine, Quentin, remember what you said today."
"I will make you come back and beg me."
As soon as Ruby left, Quentin's chest hurt with anger.
Seeing the situation, the people around him immediately called for a doctor.
After a while, Quentin's condition stabilized.
As soon as the doctor left, Grace rushed in, extremely anxious, "Quentin, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm in good health!"
As soon as Quentin finished speaking, he looked up and saw her eyes red, tears welling up, but she held back.
"Silly, why are you crying?"
"Don't worry, I'm really fine. Look..."
Saying this, he tried to get up despite the pain.
Grace couldn't hold back anymore and hugged him tightly.
Afraid to touch his chest, she only held onto his arm.
"Quentin, do you have any awareness? You were shot, you're a patient now. Can't you just lie in bed and recover properly?"
The more she spoke, the redder her eyes became. "I know you argued with her for my sake, and it hurt your wound."
"But I told you, what I care about most now is your health and safety. Even if you get justice for me, if you die because of it, do you want me to live the rest of my life in regret?"
Quentin's eyes darkened. "Grace, don't say that."
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you keep this up and don't recover properly, I really..."
The more she spoke, the more upset she became.
"Anyway, for the next week, you can't do anything, especially work. You can't get involved at all."
"Your only task now is to lie in bed and recover, eat well, and drink well."
Quentin smiled and leaned in deliberately, "Grace, why don't you say, take good care of me?"
