My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 79

Jason strode into the hospital room. His gaze swept the space, taking in the machines beeping, the x-rays mounted on the wall and the physician standing quietly at Grace’s bedside.

“You’re here!” Grace said.

“There was a traffic jam on the highway, or I would’ve been here sooner,” Jason replied.

She smiled. “You arrived faster than I expected.” She picked at

the bedsheets. “I hate that I inconvenienced you…”

Jason moved to the opposite side of the hospital bed to engage the physician directly.

Lina returned to the room and handed Grace a small cup of water. “One second you were in the ER, the next you were gone. Sorry, Grace. It took me a minute to devise where they’d moved you to.”

“I’m fine,” Grace said easily. She sipped the water.

“Doctor, how is she?” Lina asked. “Is my friend all right? She was knocked down several steps by someone on the

escalator.”

Grace watched Jason as Lina relayed the events. She wasn’t

too happy with her friend for saying all of that. A muscle in Jason’s jaw started to tick.

“The injury is not too serious,” the doctor said. “Thankfully,

traumatic brain injury.”

Lina sighed loudly in relief.
