Zackery saw Grace’s tightly wrapped arms and his eyes were filled with sympathy.
“Grace, thank you, really…”
Grace gently shook her head.
“There is no need to say these things between you and me.”
Lina looked on, let out a gentle sigh, and ultimately didn’t say anything more.
Antonio’s illness worsened, and his body felt as if it was being crushed by a thousand–kilo burden, with every movement slow and heavy.
He took the phone and, in that instant, his previously
confused eyes suddenly cleared up upon seeing the trending topic headlines on the screen.
“The scion of the Walton family got engaged, and his wife was surprisingly unknown.”
In the photo, Grace was wearing an exquisite dress, with a radiant smile on her face. Zackery was looking at her tenderly, and their eyes were filled with love and happiness.
The mobile phone fell to the ground with a “snap“.
Has this day finally arrived?
It seemed as if all strength had been drained.

He remembered the illness he had not yet confessed to Grace, and at that moment, his former pride and stubbornness collapsed.
He knew that his days were numbered, but he still couldn’t bring himself to sincerely wish her well.
Antonio decided to see Grace again no matter what, even if she hated him.
When Grace saw Antonio, her eyebrows furrowed and she looked extremely disgusted.
“Antonio, what did you want to do? Did you want to kill me again?”
The heart–wrenching words suddenly made him feel a bit unsteady.
Antonio’s throat felt as if it was being choked by something, and it took him a while before he managed to speak with difficulty.
“Grace, I… I had stomach cancer, and it was already in the advanced stage.”
Grace looked up, her eyes suddenly filled with a complex expression of shock.
Indeed, she hated Antonio, but she had loved him, even though she had moved on. However, she had never wished for him to die.
“Grace, please accompany me for a while longer, even if it’s just a very short time…”
Antonio’s voice grew lower and lower.

“Antonio, I’m sorry to hear this news, but we have already ended. I have my own life now, with my fiancé, and I can no longer have any involvement with you.”
Antonio’s eyes were filled with despair as he took a step forward, wanting to grab hold of Grace, but he stopped in his tracks upon seeing her indifferent gaze.
“Okay…”
Grace looked at the man in front of her, who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, and felt a twinge of compassion in her heart.
She took a deep breath and slowly walked up to Antonio, giving him a brief hug.
“Antonio, this was the last thing I could do for you.”
“Afterwards, we return to the bridge, and the road returns to the road.”
The embrace was brief and cold, but it made Antonio feel like he had grasped a lifeline. He held onto Grace tightly, unwilling to let go.
However, Grace quickly broke free from his embrace and turned away.
Antonio stood still, watching Grace’s figure gradually disappear.
He didn’t know how he had returned home, only remembering that when he picked up his phone again, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The scene of embracing with Grace was captured by someone
and went viral.
Eye–catching headline: “Unparalleled woman juggles two relationships, leaves her ex with terminal illness to marry son of a billionaire.”
Public opinion surged like a raging tide, and netizens instantly criticized Grace’s immorality, with all kinds of offensive words overwhelming.
Antonio clenched his teeth and gave instructions to his assistant.
“Find out for me, who exactly was it?”
He was uneasy, wondering if Grace would think that this time was also a trick against her.
But this time, it really didn’t happen. Very few people knew about his cancer. Who could it be, after all?
