Chapter 1787
Although she was reluctant to part with the baby, if she gave birth to them, she not only had to face all kinds of
criticisms but her parents would have to face the judgment of others too.
It seemed that she was only left with two options-abort the baby without anyone else knowing or… marry Hadwin
Stephenson.
‘Marry? Hadwin Stephenson and I…’ Lina could not help smiling bitterly. She did not expect to find herself faced
with this dilemma five years after breaking up.
‘But if we marry for the baby, will we be happy in such a marriage?’
Lina gently stroked her belly while she was lost in thoughts.
On the other hand, Grace, who was in the hospital ward, was somewhat surprised when she learned that Jason
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtintended to let William stay with the Reed family and accompany Jasper.
“But his relationship with the Reed family…” Grace hesitated. Although she had never wanted to let her feud with
Lily impact the child, what would the child think since his mother was in prison now and likely to receive a heavier
sentence? Would he hold a grudge against the Reed family?”
She was not afraid of the kid hating her, but she was scared that
William would hurt Jasper, Mick, and… Mason, who would be joining the Reed family.
As a mother, she wanted to protect her children!
Jason said, “I’ll have someone keep an eye on him, of course! Jasper seems to like him. If we forcefully separate
him from Jasper, maybe it’ll just make her care more about him! Don’t kids like to play with toys that have to be
fought over? But if the toy is in front of her, then maybe she won’t care about it.”
“But William isn’t a toy,” said Grace.
“So what? Just take it as we’re finding Jasper a playmate. If Jasper continues to like him, then I have a way to keep
the boy from hurting Jasper. If Jasper doesn’t care about the boy anymore, then I’ll send him away from the Reed
family,” said Jason.
A child was not a big deal to him. Besides, William must have heard what he had said to Jasper the other night.
Grace hesitated for a moment. It was all they could do now. What she was most worried about was whether Mason
would acknowledge her and Jay, as well as… the operation she had to undergo for her hands.
Speaking of which, she was not as worried about her hands. It was just that she would feel guilty and be full of
remorse if the operation failed.
The next day, Jason went to talk to Dr. Russell about the surgery tomorrow while Grace took a walk in the hospital’s

Just then, a figure approached Grace but the bodyguards stopped him before he got close.
“Grace, I just want to have a word with you before your operation,” Brian said slowly as he looked at the person not
far away from him.
Grace said to the bodyguards, “You don’t have to stop him. Mr. Hart won’t hurt me.”
She then said to the caretaker beside her, “I want you to stand a little farther away too. I want to have a word with
Mr. Hart alone.”
The caretaker looked hesitant, but at Grace’s insistence, she walked 20 or 30 meters away.
Brian walked up to Grace. “How are your hands recently?”
“They’re alright. I’m ready for the operation,” answered Grace.
Brian glanced at her bandaged hands. “Do you ever regret holding onto me that day? If you had let go, maybe they
wouldn’t be in such a bad state now.”
