Chapter 48
Omar’s heart ached after he heard the whole truth.
His mother had to bear so many years of grievances just because of a lie. Omar hated his father’s ruthlessness, but he hated his own stupidity even more.
Olivia shuddered, as if not ready for the revelation of something that happened so many years ago. Antonio even came to confront her personally.
She looked at the document in intimidation, from the records of her drug purchase to her drug use. Everything was written. clearly. Olivia could no longer maintain her calm demeanor, her face full of panic. She cried out, “Antonio, I made a mistake! I lost my mind at the time. I didn’t want to hurt you in any way.”
Antonio hated having his family plot against him the most, and he had been pampering Olivia since she was a child.
Omar watched the scene quietly without intervening.
Antonio had made up his mind. Everyone knew that Olivia had been expelled from the family. Olivia was panicked, her face turning pale.
If she was no longer a member of the Kaufman family, she would lose its protection.
Those who had grudges against her would surely come after her. She wouldn’t survive it. Olivia got on her knees and crawled to Antonio’s feet crying.

“Antonio, I know I did it wrong. I can’t leave the Kaufman family. Please! We grew up together. You can’t do this to me! Grandpa would be heartbroken if he were still alive.”
“Whether Grandpa would be sad or not, you would know after you die.” Antonio closed his eyes and left in agony.
Olivia sat on the floor dejectedly, her delicate face ashen. She knew she was finished.
Omar followed Antonio from a distance. He sensed that Antonio was very sad. However, Omar was at a loss for how to offer solace, as he himself was engulfed in sorrow.
Looking back, his family shattered when he constantly blamed his mother and distanced himself from her because he liked Kendra. He had no right to bother Grace now that she had a new family and no longer wanted him around.
After thinking for a while, he ran forward and shouted, “Dad!”
Antonio stopped, his thoughts complicated.
He turned around and looked at Omar, who had grown tall enough to reach his neck. He sighed and patted his shoulder. “Omar, it’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
Omar’s pent–up frustrations finally boiled over at this moment, and he cried uncontrollably on Antonio’s shoulder.
“Dad, I miss Mom. I regret it so much, but there is no way to change it. From now on, you and will take care of each other, okay?”
Only now did Antonio realize that Omar was just an eleven–year-

old child. After a long silence, Antonio slowly uttered a word, “Okay.”
From then on, he would no longer bother Grace. The relationship between him and her was completely severed.
Grace got out of the car. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up. She pinched her chest. At this moment, she finally felt relieved.
“Dad and I will be waiting for you at home, Mom.”
Grace glanced at the blazing sun in the distance, quickly looked away, bent over, and kissed Colin on the cheek. “Okay, I’ll be back home in the evening.”
Rhett pointed at his cheek with his finger as if asking for a kiss. “Grace, what about me?”
Colin looked at Rhett and then at Grace, snickering with his hand covering his mouth.
Flushing, Grace covered Colin’s eyes and swiftly kissed Rhett on the lips. Rhett was startled, but after a moment, he chuckled and said, “I’ll wait for you to come home.”
This time, nobody dared to treat Grace disrespectfully when she showed up at the hospital.
Everyone knew that the hospital’s biggest shareholder was the Parrish family, of which Grace was a member. Those who had previously made disparaging remarks about Grace had avoided her.
Grace seemed to be unaware of all this. With a report in her hand, she gave instructions to the doctor beside her.

“Grace has always been in good health, so she doesn’t require a lot of nutritional supplements. Pay more attention to her physical condition instead. Have you found a matching heart?”
The vice director nodded.
“Yes, it will be delivered tomorrow.”
Grace let out a sigh of relief; this matter couldn’t be dragged on for long. As long as they had the heart, she was confident in saving Grace.
When Grace finished her work, she went to see Grace.
Grace was covered in tubes, lying quietly in the intensive care unit.
As she gazed at the quiet Grace, she missed the lively, energetic Grace, who had always been bright.
No one expected that Grace would collapse due to a heart attack. “You are here to see Grace too,” a male voice said.
Grace looked at the man speaking. His figure was excellent, but he had a dark circle under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well for a few days.
“Andrew,” Grace greeted Andrew Hewson, the head of the Hewson family. Andrew nodded slightly, pinching his brows tiredly. “How big is the chance for the success of this surgery?”
Grace looked at Grace, her voice extremely firm. “The chances of success are 70%.”
Andrew let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief, seeming to feel much more at ease. “It’s great that Grace has a friend

like you. Thank you.”
Grace waved her hands. She had always been grateful to Grace for staying by her side. Without her, she wouldn’t have been able to move on. “I should thank Grace instead. Without her, I
wouldn’t be who I am today.”
The place felt silent again.
Grace was not used to being alone with Andrew. He was the most boring person she had ever met. It seemed like he cared about no one except Grace.
Andrew was the first to break the silence.
“Would you like to join me for a cup of coffee?”
Grace also had the same idea, so she nodded and said, “Sure, I happen to have something to tell you.”
Andrew nodded, and they went together to the café outside the hospital.
