Grace looked at the back of her right hand, at the spot where Maria had stepped on today.
“Today, when I was working, I accidentally hit it. It’s nothing,” she said casually, not wanting him to worry.
“Is that so?” Jason stared fixedly at Grace. “Sister, if someone bullies you, just tell me and I will stand up for you.”

“I can protect myself,” she said.
“What if you can’t?” he asked.

There was a flash in his eyes, but he did not say anything in the end. Instead, he simply replied faintly, “Okay.”
