I've Been There Before

“Grace, Erhai is not your dreamland. You’re not seeking peace, but escaping.”

Gloria said solemnly.

She shouldn’t have said that, but as an outsider, she saw something that Grace didn’t.

Sometimes a spectator’s perspective was needed.

Perhaps this was not always true. But she saw Grace’s hesitation.

Three years ago, she helped Grace escape because she wanted her to live a peaceful life.

But she got more mature in the three years.

Her maturity kept her reflecting.

Was she right to help Grace escape three years ago?

She felt she was wrong.

This woman was too frightened to stop and take a look at the people and things around her.

In the past three years, she had seen Caden constantly searching. Everyone kept telling him to give up. They said Grace was probably dead.

If Grace wasn’t dead, why hadn’t he found her after three years’ search?

But that man didn’t believe it. He continued searching. Apart from searching for Grace, all he had in his life was work.

What Gloria saw was the once successful and arrogant man lowered his proud head and never game up for the sake of his heart’s concern.

She didn’t see Caden playing around. Instead, she saw his seriousness and persistence.

This was something she had longed for in another man, but she had never had it in her entire life.

But Grace was different.

The happiness that she couldn’t have might be obtained by Grace. She and Grace shared the same fate. Their terrible past might end in Grace’s hand.

She admitted that she had been selfish.

But more importantly, what she saw was not Grace’s heartless or her letting go, but her escape.
