“I did some DNA testing on you and Colin, and he is indeed your child. When you were abroad…” Antonio couldn’t continue.
Grace finished his sentence for him.
“Colin is my child. I got married abroad. Are you satisfied with the answer?”
The partially burned cigarette fell to the ground as Antonio’s hand slightly trembled while holding it. “Grace, after you left, I could no longer calm down and pray.”
Grace frowned, her eyes full of disgust. The presence of Colin prevented her from saying anything harsh. “You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Stop pestering me.”
Antonio understood her love for Colin, but the thought that Omar had been motherless for six years infuriated him.
“You care about Colin; what about Omar? You never came back to see him in the past six years.”
Grace didn’t want to respond. She had initially tried to stick around for Omar, but he didn’t want her and repeatedly pushed her away.
“Omar has Kendra; it doesn’t matter if I’m around or not.”
Omar overheard it in the car. He lost it, ran out of the car, and yelled at Grace, “You’re no longer my mother! You and your bastard son should never come back!”

Grace felt a jolt. She covered Colin’s ears, suppressing her rage. “You should say this to your father, your stepmother Kendra, and yourself. I hope not to see you ever again.”
After saying that, Grace carried Colin into the car and left.
As Omar watched Grace drive away, he began to regret what he had said. “Dad, did I go too far?”
With a gloomy face, Antonio said, “Yes you did. Copy out the family motto ten times tonight and stop using rude language.”
Omar lowered his eyes, feeling sad and wronged, yet the person who had once comforted or held him was no longer there. Antonio cast a glance at Omar through the rearview mirror, lost in thought for a while, but ultimately said nothing.
Kendra, who had seen the scene, looked extremely grim. “Grace, why did you come back?”
In the car, Colin used Grace’s phone to call his father, asking, “Dad, when will you come over? I miss you.”
The person on the other end chuckled and said in a low and pleasant voice, “I’ll be there in three days. Does your mom miss me?” Colin glanced at Grace secretly, covering his mouth and snickering, “Yes, of course, but she won’t admit it.”
Slightly flushed, Grace lightly cleared her throat before saying, “You’re cheeky. Don’t disturb your dad at work.”
The man muttered, “Grace, I miss you so much.”
Upon hearing his words, Grace blushed and swiftly ended the call.

“Colin, you need to stay at home by yourself for the next few days while I go to the hospital to treat your godmother. Remember not to open the door to strangers.”
Colin nodded sensibly, swinging his legs.
“I’ll wait for you to come home.”
Given the house’s automatic alarm system and the wealthy neighborhood’s strong security measures, Grace didn’t worry about the security issue there.
After working with the Hewson family to finalize the treatment plan, Grace began getting ready for it the following day. The moment Grace walked into the hospital, almost everyone looked at her and made negative remarks about her. “That home wrecker is back. I heard that she was sent abroad because she had an affair with Ms. Jermyn’s husband.”
Grace felt angry yet amused at these words. Back then, she didn’t speak out, but that didn’t mean she’d continue to put up with it now. “Everyone, move aside!”
Two nurses swiftly pushed a cart with a pale patient lying on it, while another nurse was kneeling on top performing
cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
The curtains were then drawn to block the curious gazes of passers–by.
Grace was about to speak after checking the patient when she was shoved aside by Kendra, who had come running over and said, “Irrelevant people, get out of here.”
She gave Grace a provocative glance but made no direct

reference to her.
Grace frowned, not intending to argue with her. “Set aside your feelings; the patient’s survival comes first.”
Kendra gritted her teeth, but she could only put up with it while these people were around.
When Kendra was giving the patient an injection, Grace frowned and grabbed her hand.
“You’re killing him with this injection. The patient’s respiratory tract is most likely blocked. Get out. I’ll do it!” Grace had already started while Kendra was about to refuse subconsciously.
Grace tilted the patient’s head backward, allowing the median ligament of the cricothyroid membrane to tighten and fully stretch. She then disinfected the area and inserted a thick needle vertically into the cricothyroid membrane.
Everyone was taken aback by Grace’s agility.
Kendra’s face flushed with rage, but she had to gnash her teeth and bear it for the time being.
Grace pressed the patient’s chest and air flowed out, indicating a successful puncture. She then proceeded to secure the needle with tape to prevent it from moving. “The patient is responding!”
Then Grace directed them to perform first aid to finally stabilize the patient’s condition. The nurses and doctors started complimenting her.
With a darkened face, Kendra snorted coldly, “That’s nothing. I

can do it, too. 1 just wanted to give Dr. Parrish a chance to perform.”
Grace shook her head, realizing that she had been mistaken to think Kendra was somehow medically skilled.
“You saved a Goodwin, didn’t you?” A graceful senior woman appeared with her family members.
“The Goodwin family? Are they the ones whose members have three generations of army service?” someone in the crowd exclaimed, extremely shocked. With calculation in her eyes, Kendra thought, “This is the Goodwin family.”
“Saving lives is our hospital’s responsibility. The patient needs to stay for observation.” Grace had met Ruth Goodwin multiple times before, but she did not try to curry favor with her.
But at this moment, Kendra intervened.
