“Grace,” Antonio croaked, his voice filled with exhaustion.
“Do you know? If it weren’t for me almost dying, I would have definitely kept bothering you.”
He paused, as if gathering strength, and as if recalling the unbearable past.
“You were the only person who truly loved me.”
“My parents only cared about the power of the company. They wanted to transfer the shares while I was at my sickest.”
At this point, Antonio’s breathing became rapid, and he started coughing violently.
Grace subconsciously wanted to reach out and help him, but then stopped halfway.
Antonio paused for a moment and then continued speaking.
“How could I let them succeed? Those powers were earned through my hard work, and they lost. I sent them overseas,” his eyes gleamed with a fierce determination, a light that was only seen during the fierce battles in the business world.
After a while, he once again brought up a self–mocking smile.
“However… I didn’t win either.”
“Now, it is too late for everything.”

“I had no more time, no more capital, and I didn’t even have the qualification to bother you.”
Grace looked at Antonio and suddenly a wave of sadness surged in her heart.
A person who is not loved naturally does not know what love is. What he desperately chases after is always something that has already been lost.
Grace’s voice was faint.
“Antonio, maybe you didn’t love me at all.”
“You just liked chasing after what you had lost.”
Antonio’s hand trembled under the covers, and he extended his thin arm, revealing a winding scar that was truly shocking.
His expression, however, was very gentle.
“When I was a child, my parents and I got into a car accident. They were in a panic and tried everything to protect
themselves.”
“I was sitting in the back of the car at that time, and there happened to be a small gap. I was completely unharmed, but they were seriously injured.”
“They said I was a jinx and caused them harm.”
“When I was young, I didn’t understand why my parents blamed me. Now I realize that they didn’t love me at all.”
“Love was a heartfelt protection.”

Grace’s breath hitched, and her heart began to ache.
She smiled absentmindedly.
“Yeah, so love can also disappear…”
The air fell silent once again.
Grace looked at Antonio, and her resentment gradually dissipated.
“Antonio, take good care and there might still be hope.”
Antonio’s lips were cracked, and his eyes were filled with
sorrow.

“Not everyone has hope in life, as one may have fate, wealth, and suffering, but what is destined to be lost will eventually be lost.”
The ward fell into silence, with only the faint ticking sound of the instruments.
She wanted to mock him with a “serves you right,” but found herself unable to speak.
The person who has been loved, in the end, is unable to be completely heartless.
However, it can be completely counted as over, let oneself go.
Zackery stood at the door of the ward, the twilight light making him appear even warmer.
Grace stepped out slowly and looked at her beloved, and her heart seemed to warm up.

“Did you finish watching Antonio?”
Zackery smiled faintly and stroked her long hair.
Grace nodded.
“The doctor said that his will to survive was very low, so I chatted with him.”
She said and then looked up at Zackery.
“Would you mind?”
“What do you mind?”
Zackery’s gaze was gentle.
“I loved your kindness, loved that you had boundaries.”
“But…”

Grace’s heart suddenly lifted up, which she had previously set down.
“But I would feel a little jealous and seek some interest.”
Zackery’s ears turned red as he deeply kissed Grace, holding onto her hair.
