NovelFinishAnthony looked at Grace through the rearview mirror and suddenly said, "Maybe you can persuade Ed."
Grace looked at the flying snowflakes through the window, her gaze unfocused. "I don't know anything about his
past. How can | persuade him?
"If he has an important reason for staying there and that's the only place he feels safe, is it really good for him
when | ask him to leave in the nof love?"
As she said this, she slowly closed her eyes and leaned back. "There are so many times | don't even know how to
get along with him."
She didn't know who owed the other in the first place, but she always instinctively felt the need to give in to him.
Anthony was a bit surprised, as he hadn't expected Grace to think so deeply. Grace was too rational-itwas easy
for people to fall for her, but that clarity of hers was like a double-edged sword.
When the car stopped at a traffic light, he sighed. "Did he tell you about his brother?"
"He mentioned it a few times, but | don't really know anything specific."
She had thought Anthony would say something about it. But when the car started to move again, he didn't say a
word.
After two hours, the car pulled up in front of the run-down villa. There wasn't any light coming out from the
building, so it was difficult to know if anybody was in it.
Grace was the first one to get out of the car. When she saw Anthony not coming out, she asked, "What should |
do?"
With one hand on the steering wheel, Anthony rubbed between his eyes with the other. "His insomnia is very
severe. If this goes on, his body definitely can't handle

"If you have sfree time, try spending more twith him. You did this before..."
He suddenly stopped his words and slightly took a breath in.
"Anyways, he should be better with you around. Recently, he had been thinking about using a medication that
comes with sside effects. That medication
might cause him to hallucinate and hear things in later stages.
"I've tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen. Maybe you can try." Anthony, beca bit frustrated as he
spoke. It was clear that he
wouldn't have asked for Grace's help if he had any other choice
Grace nodded and was about to walk away when Anthony pulled out a box of fever medicine from the glove box.
"He's having a fever right now, but he refused to go to the hospital. Go give him this fever medicine and make
him get sproper sleep."
Grace grew angrier with every word Anthony said. She couldn't understand how could Ed be that careless in
taking care of himself by refusing to go to the hospital. With the medicine in her hand, she headed straight into
the villa.
Ed had a bad habit of sleeping on the couch outside instead of going to his bedroom. He would curl himself into a
ball on it as if he were a poor little puppy abandoned by its owner.
Grace had been so busy recently that she didn't really have the tto talk to Ed.
She followed her memories straight
to the couch and saw a familiar figure on it. As she kneeled beside the couch, she reached out to check Ed's
forehead and was thrown off by how hot it was.
"You're so sick. Were you planning to tough it out if | hadn't come?" she muttered.
Ed hadn't expected Grace to come. As he moved his body, the words that cout of his mouth sounded weak.
"I'm sorry."
Grace fed the medicine straight into his mouth before she gave him swater that she had brought along.
He swallowed unconsciously and added, "I'm sorry."
She was curious as to why Ed was
apologizing. She fumbled arqund ihe
