The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

The Lies He Told Me 211

Antonio couldn't help but feel lost as he watched the affectionate bickering between the two.

He clutched the IV tube so tightly that the drips couldn't get through, and his blood began to flow backward.

Yet, he seemed to feel no pain, staring intently inside the ward.

Grace's relaxed and gentle demeanor was something Antonio had only seen in his dreams.

In reality, whenever she was with him, she was as stiff as a block of wood. Her gaze often held affection, but her words were always cold and emotionless.

As Antonio brooded in jealousy, a nurse, finishing her rounds, caught sight of the blood-

stained tube and rushed over with a scream.

"Oh my, let go! Don't you feel the pain?"

The commotion caught Grace's attention. She turned her

head and saw Antonio outside the window with a sour face.

"What is he doing here?" A flicker of confusion crossed Grace's mind.

After just a brief glance, she turned back, sat down, and dozed off while holding Devin's hand.

with a yawn to find Devin also asleep in bed. She hurriedly placed his

hand back under the quilt.

She then noticed that the glass was empty, so she picked up the kettle and was about to refill it. Just as she looked up, she saw Antonio.
