“Asher, I… I accidentally knocked over the wine glass. I’m terribly sorry–I’ll clean this up right away.”

Grace knelt down to clean up the shattered glass.

Her low–cut dress exposed her décolletage as she bent forward in Asher’s line of sight.

Asher darkened his expression and averted his gaze, his tone increasingly impatient. “Get up. Leave at

once.”

Grace tried to pick up the glass fragments with her bare hands, then suddenly let out a cry.

Her finger had been cut, bright red blood dripping steadily onto the floor.

She rose weakly, her expression pitiful as she pressed her lips together. “Asher, I’ve cut myself on the

glass. Could you possibly take me to hospital?”

Asher’s gaze moved downward, briefly examining Grace’s wound. “There are plasters and antiseptic in the bathroom cabinet. Sort it out yourself.”

“Can’t you take me to hospital? It’s frightfully painful.”

Asher’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “By the time we reached hospital, it would have healed already.”

The following morning, when Lady Blackwood Sr. couldn’t reach Asher by phone, she called his

executive assistant, Matt Ford.

“Is Asher terribly busy?” she inquired.

Matt responded respectfully, “Lady Blackwood, Mr. Blackwood has just finished a meeting.”

“Have him take my call.”

Asher glanced at Matt questioningly. “Grandmother?”

Matt nodded and handed over the phone.

The old lady’s tone was relatively gentle. “Asher, dear, your sister has fallen ill rather seriously and is in hospital. I’ll send you the address and room number. Perhaps you could find time to visit her.”

“Grandmother,” Asher replied coldly, “if she’s ill, you should call for doctors. Why involve me? I’m hardly qualified to treat illnesses.”

Lady Blackwood steadied her emotions, maintaining a pleasant tone. “Just this once. Regardless of everything, she is your sister. Visiting her in hospital when she’s ill isn’t crossing any boundaries, is it?”

“Asher, I was wrong about the family dinner incident, and I apologize. Yesterday Grace became dreadfully ill. When I visited her in hospital today, she looked absolutely wretched. It truly broke my heart to see her that way. Grace is asking for you. Won’t you please visit her? Do it as a favour to your
