Chapter 442

She had no choice but to step forward. "I am," she said.

The doctor addressed her directly. "I'm sorry, ma'am. Your husband's leg was seriously injured. We did everything we could during surgery, but you should prepare yourself-there's a chance he may lose the ability to walk."

Most assumed she was simply devastated, but only she and Annabel knew what she was really thinking.

Suddenly, Grace felt a weight on her shoulder.

She didn't even need to look-it was Annabel.

Leaning in close, Annabel whispered in her ear, "Grace, remember who you are right now."
