"Alright, I’ll ask your attending doctor. If he says you may leave, I’ll do it for you at once. Is that OK?"

Tassach gave in, nodding.

Mrs. Conduibh said to Gracie, "Gracie, you stay and take care of Tassach. I’ll go to his attending doctor."

"Just go, Mrs. Conduibh. I’ll take good care of Tassach."

When Mrs. Conduibh walked away, Tassach ignored Gracie and left immediately.

Gracie rushed up to Tassach, stretched out her arms to stop him and stared at him in a stubborn but injured way, saying, "Tassach, I’ve been taking care of you for the last month. Even so, you still can’t forget that woman who keeps you at an arm’s length, can you?"

Tassach looked down at her, heaved a sigh and replied, "Gracie, you’re a good woman, and I’m grateful that you’ve worked so hard looking after me, but we’re not right for each other. You’re an amazing girl, and you can have whatever man you want. I don’t think it’s necessary for you to waste your time on me."

It wasn’t the first time Tassach had said such harsh words to Gracie, so she just ignored it, took his arm and changed the subject naturally. "I bought your favorite congee for you. Get back and have some, for the sake of me, huh? I don’t think you’d be cruel enough to turn down an offer from a beautiful girl, would you?"

Tassach looked deep into Gracie’s eyes, feeling helpless.

"Gracie, do yourself a favor. My heart is occupied by someone, and there’s no room left for anyone else."

Gracie choked back the tears and said, "Tassach, I love you, and you can do nothing about it. I believe you’ll fall in love with me sooner or later. I have faith in you. Let’s go. The congee is getting cold."

Tassach drew back his arm and muttered, "I can walk on my own."

Gracie looked at her empty hands, her lips curving into a bitter smile. However, staring at the lonely back of Tassach’s in front of her, Gracie caught up with him at once and took his arm regardless.
