NovelAppGrace was deeply moved to tears. Carson was her only light in this family.
"By the way, Dad mentioned that he stored all the swaddling clothes I had when he pickedup and put them in the old house. I'd like to go there tomorrow and take a look." Carson frowned. "No, the countryside is too far away. It may not be safe for you to go there alone with Austin. How about this? I'll accompany you to go there together when Dad is discharged from the hospital or when his condition stabilizes." Grace hesitated for a moment.
Carson continued, "I understand your feelings, but it's not urgent. It's really too dangerous for you to go alone with Austin. The old house hasn't been inhabited for such a long time, and those paths are probably overgrown with weeds. How can you go there alone?" Grace felt that what he said was reasonable, so she temporarily dismissed the idea.

After Grace finished feeding Austin, she went to the hospital.
Daisy was in the ward. When she saw Grace returning, she took her outside and kept asking, "How did it go with Justin? He's obviously interested in you. Why are you acting like you're afraid he will take advantage of you?" Grace looked at Daisy's face and felt that, in that moment, this face she had been looking at for more than twenty years was unfamiliar. After learning that she was not their biological daughter, she suddenly didn't know how to face Daisy.
Daisy saw that Grace didn't say anything and continued to say, "I'm asking you. What part of Dr. Vance is not good enough for you?" Grace pinched her brows helplessly. "Stop thinking about that. Even if Dr. Vance likes me, his family would never agree with him to marry me." Daisy's eyes stared. "Don't you know why his family doesn't agree? It's all because you're having a daughter, a complete burden. Brian has no feelings for you, so why are you keeping his child? Now with a child, you can't even find a decent man!" Grace frowned. "Mom, what are you talking about?" She couldn't believe Daisy could say something like that. In Daisy's eyes, money was always the most important thing.
"Am I not right?" Daisy poked her hard in the temple.
"Better get Austin to Brian before it's too late! His family's loaded, and they won't mistreat Austin! And make sure they throw in a breakup fee! You can't just give birth to a child for him for nothing. It wasn't part of the deal!" Daisy said. Content Grace then snapped, "If you ever say something like that again, I'll kill myself! Austin is my whole world!" Grace trembled with anger. Meanwhile, Daisy shot a fierce glance at her.
"You're just an idiot! No wonder Brian dumped you! You stubborn fool! You just wait to spend the rest of your days farming! You worthless thing!" Daisy yelled. Grace wanted to refute her, but she could not bring herself to say it.
Eventually, Grace managed to steady her tone and said calmly, "There's no way I'm giving Austin Brian. And I hope you won't ever I suggest such a thing again. I can take care of her just fine on my own." swn Why was she suddenly so composed this time?
