Chapter 16
So Grace finally put down her knife and fork, picked up the phone beside her, tapped a few words on it, and handed it to Antonio.
“What were you staring at me for“?”
Antonio was watching her intently and increasingly felt that she resembled Grace, so he blurted it out.
“You resembled someone from my past.”
Old friend?
“Who?”
Grace was also too lazy to type on the keyboard, so she borrowed paper and pen from the waiter next to her and continued to ask.
Antonio clenched his hands and finally let out a bitter smile, “My wife.”
Perhaps it was because the person in front of him looked so much like Grace, Antonio’s guard was completely let down.
He poured out all the pain that had been hidden in his heart for the past. year to the person in front of him.
“I loved my wife very much, but due to some malicious rumors from outsiders, I made a wrong judgment. In the end, it led to my wife’s tragic death in a fire.”
“Since then, I used to dream every night. In my dreams, I would always be able to grab her hand in the sea of fire, but every time I tried to escape,

she would break free from my grasp and throw herself into the flames. And ever since her ashes were scattered by her rival, I have never dreamt of her again.”
Over the past year, I visited many temples, but every abbot I approached gave me the same answer that she was unwilling to see me.
After years of pent–up emotions, the man, who had always been cruel, unexpectedly broke down in tears in front of a stranger.
If Grace were just an ordinary person, she would have definitely been moved by Antonio’s love story and might have even handed him a tissue as he cried in regret.
Unfortunately, she was the protagonist in Antonio’s story.
She even knew that Antonio had concealed too many details in his words, but she was too lazy to expose him.
Grace, who once loved him with all her heart, had long since perished in that massive fire.
Grace now can be anyone, but she absolutely will not have any connection with Antonio anymore.
Grace’s silence finally made the man in front of her realize his own. indiscretion.
He quickly held back his tears and composed himself again.
Finally, he apologized to her and politely offered to take her back to the hotel.
But just at that moment, an unexpected incident occurred.
A runaway car suddenly rushed towards them, and the blinding high
beams illuminated Grace’s pale face.
“Be careful!”
Grace, who was standing still in place, was instantly pushed down to the side of the road by a force of gravity, and her mask on her face also instantly fell off.
But she couldn’t care about anything else, she quickly turned around to look, only to see Antonio being thrown away by the force of habit!
The scene immediately became chaotic.
The screams of passersby, the sound of sirens and ambulance sirens, mixed together, rushed into Antonio’s ears.
But he didn’t care about anything, staring blankly at the woman in front of him, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
“Grace?!”
In the hospital, Antonio on the stretcher tightly held Grace’s hand.
He had too many questions about Grace’s resurrection.
But the only thing he could do now was to hold onto her and not let Grace go.
He was afraid that he was dreaming, he was afraid that she would wake up again and he would not see her.
Even if Antonio’s determination was strong, he couldn’t withstand the coma caused by excessive blood loss.
Before he entered the operating room, the doctor made a slight movement and Antonio’s hand naturally fell down.
61 811.
Grace rubbed her red wrists while watching the closed door of the operating room in front of her.
She turned around and was about to leave.
After all, her identity had already been exposed in front of Antonio. If she had stayed, who knows how much trouble she would have caused with
him.
