Madeleine shot a stare at Gracie, “Gracie, what are you doing! He hasn't well recovered yet, you will
hurt him again.”
Gracie gave a glance at Tassach with complicated look. She raised chin, saying with a proud face,
“Clearly, he is fine.”
Madeleine shook head, saying to herself inside, “No wonder Tassach doesn’t fall in love with her as
long as Gracie has done so much for him.”
Madeleine said meaningfully, “Gracie, you’d better not be so ill-tempered, if you love him truly.”
Her words paused Gracie, and she subconsciously turned over to Tassach on the bed, to see he
grabbed Ophelia’s hand tightly and got a look on her face.
All of a sudden, her heart was filled with jealousy.
With fists clenching, she screamed with full strength, “Tassach Conduibh.”
Her scream made Madeleine jump who was close to her.
Tassach Conduibh, however, just glanced at her, “Gracie, I am sorry. I believe that someone will fall in
love with you one day, but it’s not me.”
He sighed, “Gracie, I thank you very much for your caring these days. But gratitude is not love. You are
a charming and popular girl. However, I have someone else full in my heart, and there is no room left.”
With an ugly face, Gracie pointed at Ophelia, “Does she deserve your kindness?”
Tassach showed a sweet smile, “She deserves everything wonderful.”
Gracie was so heart-broken. “Do I look worse than her?”
He shook head, “You are of different beauty. But when you love someone, other women are nothing to
you no matter how excellent they are. The problem is that I have had a crush on her when you
appeared.”
Gracie got an emotional time. His every word was a knife stabbing her in the heart. She never met a
man who was so ruthless. When he was in hospital, she stayed up and took care of him. However, this
man held off her love in front of her rival.
There was no one who can be so ruthless like Tassach. But she should love such a man.
Gracie sipped her lips, saying with a rough voice, “Tassach, you choose her over me although I am one
hundred times kinder to you.”
Tassach turned to Ophelia, “No one can replace her.”
Gracie’s heart sank in despair.
His words made Ophelia embarrassed. She regarded Tassach as just a friend, so his words put their
relationship in an awkward situation.
Madeleine interrupted, “Tassach, don’t make Ophelia weigh in your relationship. Don’t you know you
are setting her up by doing that?”
Tassach looked over at Ophelia, with guilt in his eyes, “Ophelia, I don’t mean that. I just…”
Ophelia just shook head, and then said in a plain tone, “Tassach, I think you should have a talk with
Miss. King. I go with Madeleine first and I will come and see you when I am free.”
He was a little upset, grabbing Ophelia’s hand, “Ophelia, don’t go. I have nothing with Gracie and it’s
not necessary to have a talk between us. You trust me.”
Ophelia felt so embarrassed. “Tassach, don’t be like that.”
Madeleine slapped his hand away and pulled Ophelia behind, “Jinx, I’ll keep Ophelia away if you do
that again.”
Tassach looked longingly at Ophelia.
Seeing everything, great hatred sprung up in Gracie’s eyes. She shouted with a tight throat, “Enough!”
Madeleine turned and glanced at her, but said to Ophelia, “Ophelia, let’s go.”
Tassach got off bed hurriedly. Looking at Tassach trying hard with hand on his stomach, Ophelia sighed
and got rid of Madeleine’s hand. She walked to and helped him lie down, saying, “You watch out.”
With a delighted face, he looked affectionately at Ophelia, “Ophelia, you are still worried about me,
right?”
