Rhett got injured from time to time and only let Grace treat him. Grace thought he was a gangster so she pulled a long face in front of him. Rhett came to her with new bleeding wounds on his hand that day. Grace looked at him coldly and treated his wounds as usual.
“Don’t let the wounds get wet for the next few days.”
“Dr. Parrish, why don’t you smile at all?” he asked.
Grace frowned, looking puzzled. “What’s there to be happy about in the hospital? Do you want me to say welcome to you?”
Rhett paused, and then burst into laughter. “I thought you were always serious. I didn’t expect you to make jokes.”
Grace rolled her eyes at him. “It’s done. You can leave now.”
Rhett grabbed her wrist, his cheeks flushing.
“There is a ball tomorrow. I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to attend with me.”
Grace was taken aback by the look in his eyes. She realized that he was seriously pursuing her.
She took a deep breath, withdrew her hand, and whispered, “I’ve been divorced and have a child.
“Don’t you even check my background before approaching me?”

She originally thought that after she said this, he would give up. But Rhett’s eyes were full of distress.
your fault. What’s more.
No longer acting dandiacal as usual, he spoke seriously, “It’s not
just means you have escaped from suffering and have a bright future, so let me heal you.” Rhett’s eyes were serious, without any other emotions.
Grace felt a jolt, but she refused to look at him. “I have ended a miserable relationship. Do you think I will start another one?”
Rhett choked, speechless for a while before saying, “But it will be a happy one.”
Grace’s long–sunk heart began to stir again. She was unsure of the reason behind her agreement. She watched Rhett’s back as he happily left, ginning.
She would take it as a way to relax.
When she arrived at the ball, she found out Rhett’s identity, the youngest head of the Floyd family in Drelar City.
Grace watched as he came toward her, bowed slightly, and extended his hand, saying, “Ms. Parrish, would you mind joining me for tonight’s first dance?”
Grace put her hand on his palm and performed the first dance with him in front of everyone.
Rhett was eye–catching under the light, not the fool who deliberately hurt himself just to see her.
Grace could tell that his injuries appeared to have been intentionally caused by himself. The injuries were just severe

enough to be bandaged in the hospital. He was just not afraid of the pain.
Grace and Rhett worked well together. They were such a perfect match.
After the dance, everyone applauded sincerely, as if they were. the brightest stars of the night. Grace said goodbye to everyone politely and left the ball.
Rhett chased after her, watching her standing alone by the sea, braving the cold wind.
He noticed for the first time that she appeared to be both tough and lonely. Rhett took off his coat, walked forward slowly, and draped it over her shoulders.
He was trying to shield her from the cold wind.
⚫ Grace felt the warmth on her shoulders, turned her head, and
met Rhett’s eyes.
Rhett stood beside her and said with a smile, “Dr. Parrish, today is Christmas back home. Let’s release a lantern together.”
Grace covered her mouth and smiled, “There’s no lantern here.”
Rhett held her hand and led her forward. “Come with me.”
She was led by Rhett as they ran forward. A lantern was in the car. Rhett took out a lighter and lit the lantern.
They held a corner of the lantern together.
Rhett said to her, “Dr. Parrish, you must make a wish sincerely, so the deities in heaven will hear it.” They released the lantern

together. Grace watched the lantern flying farther and farther
away.
She smiled with tears in her eyes. “Rhett, are you a fool? We’re in a foreign country. There is no deity but Satan.”
Rhett was not discouraged but said sincerely, “If you tell me your wishes, I will fulfill them for you.”
Grace looked into his eyes, her heart racing.
Rhett helped her adjust her clothes.
He took out a sparkler from somewhere and lit it. The sparkler burned gradually, much like a firework.
As the river breeze blew, they began to fall for each other.
After this day, Rhett no longer had wounds on his body, but he continued to visit Grace frequently. He even became acquainted with Grace’s coworkers just as much as Grace did.
During this year, Grace accepted Rhett under his persistent pursuit and agreed to go on their first date. Upon arriving at the designated square, she saw him playing with a band.
He was standing in the center, holding a guitar. His slender fingers plucking the strings produced a lovely melody. Along with the rest of the crowd, Grace stood in front of him and gazed up at him.
Rhett held the microphone and spoke gently but firmly, “Grace, I like you!”
One by one, white pigeons flew away as a fierce wind blew up in the square. It was breathtakingly gorgeous. Unconsciously,

Grace took a step toward him.
Rhett insisted on finishing a song, removed his guitar, strode off stage, and ran toward Grace unwaveringly.
