Chapter 17

“Is she dead?”

Antonio rubbed the bridge of his nose; all he wanted to know was whether Kyla was dead or not.

“No, she’s not. The fire department arrived in time. The air cushion and slide were already set up when she jumped. Besides, Ms. Kyla didn’t really want to die in the first place.”

Simon realized he was out of the line after he said that last

sentence.

Realizing his mistake, he quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Kaufman. I just can’t accept what Ms. Kyla did to Ms. Grace, so I let my emotions get the better of me. It won’t happen again.”

If it were in the past, Antonio would have snapped and even fired Simon right away.

But after learning the truth, his attitude toward Kyla had completely changed.

So, he didn’t actually mind Simon’s “slip“.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the first time Grace was hospitalized after coming back.

That day, she slept so long under the pure white blanket.

He stood by the bed the whole time, watching her in silence.
