Chapter 37 " Grace ? Grace ! " Grace broke out of her trance and looked at Antonio . She must have stood outside the study for too long , and it annoyed Antonio . This man had smiled so gently at Keyla earlier in the morning , but why did he look so detached when facing her ? Grace realized there was nothing she could do to change his commitment to his first love . " Huh , what is it ? " " Your phone is ringing . " Only then did Grace feel the vibration in her hand .

She glanced at the screen , and it was a call from the hospital . Antonio watched her retreating figure as she stepped onto the balcony , a thoughtful look in his eyes . Today , Grace seemed different . " Hello ? " " Ms. Parrish , the surgery you scheduled can take place tomorrow . " Grace unconsciously placed her hand over her belly .

I'm a little afraid of the pain . " Grace tried to sound casual , but the heartache was impossible to suppress . She had once longed for a child , one who would resemble Antonio or herself . " It can , but we'll need your family to sign the consent form . " Grace froze . She was all alone .

" Grace forced a bitter smile . No matter how much she had given to this family , she was still an outsider . Stumbling into the bathroom , she shut the door and stared at her own reflection .

I'll make sure to forward all of her posts to you . " Grace knew Laney had resented her discipline , but she hadn't expected Laney to be so eager for her to leave .

Grace wouldn't get in the way , and Antonio wouldn't let her even if she wanted to . 14
