Chapter 210

Mrs Whitney patted his back till he finally calmed down, he's going through a lot everyone is

Jack looked into her eyes and he could see empathy in them, he had told her those things and let his emotion go because he wanted her to say something but it seemed she really didn't know anything or she just didn't want to speak, whichever it is he can't continue to wait, he needs to find out if Jane is his sister or not?.

Jack turned his face thinking of how he could take a sample from Jane without anyone being suspicious, he then caught sight of Grace on the other bench sniffing and crying

"looks like everyone is having a hard time today," he said

"what do you mean?" she asked him, and he pointed his hands at Grace.

"I should go talk to her," she said"

"yea you should I will head to the restaurant and see if I can get anything to eat" he said and stood up, he would have loved to tell her that it's her motherly instinct working because she's their mother but he believes that she knows something about Jane being his sister even though she doesn't know that he his jack, but she should know that she's her friend's daughter and she has refused to say anything

Besides she and her children are the reason his parents died and he lost his sister, if their mother hadn't known about their crazy secret, she would still be alive and their family still whole like always

He also would not tell her about her children, everything should just stay this way.

"Hey Grace are you okay?" she asked her

"no I'm not" she said amidst tears

"do you want to talk about it?" she asked her, Grace looked at her, she didn't know why she was about to be vulnerable to someone she barely doesn't care so she will just speak

"I loved him all my life but he doesn't just care, he even denies knowing about my feelings for him and that's what hurts me the most" she said

"and have you thought about the fact that he really doesn't know?" she asked

"he does know because I sent him a letter and he wrote to me back rejecting me in the most hurtful manner and he just goes around pretending like he didn't do anything, just how wicked is that?" she said

"and you know the most annoying thing Mrs Whitney is the fact that I still love him" she cried.

"You know we can't always choose who our heart beats for, we cant and that is simply the saddest and sometimes the most beautiful thing in the world" she said

"and you know in this life I've seen the way some people have the ability to manipulate things and make it turn out in their favour" she said

"I think you should just communicate with him and stop assuming that he knows, he really might not just know, cause I can tell you for a fact that he loves you and he's making an effort" she said

"I will get going I should give you some time to think things through and you should stop crying it's not good for your beautiful face" she said and stood up but Grace held her hand with her little fingers

"thank you Mrs Whitney, I really appreciate" she said and Whitney could not help but smile as she was trying to hold back the tears, this is the exact same way her daughter had held her after she was born and Maria took her away

"my pleasure" she said and quickly ran along before she sees her tears.

Maria made her way to the restaurant after calming down a bit, since she couldn't cook she will just grab food for everyone instead, Chris had told her yesterday that she can get food at the restaurant at anytime because their bill covers it, it's really nice to be rich she thought.

She got to the reception and asked for Mike's office and she was directed, she made her way there

"doctor can I come in?" she asked as she peeped through the already opened door

"yea sure Mrs Whitney please make your way here" he said and stood up to meet her

"I guess you have not eaten this evening so I decided to bring you something" she said

"oh thank you Mrs Whitney this is really kind of you" he said

"oh it's absolutely fine, here give this to Grace as well, use that as an opportunity to talk to her, she's really hurting and I know you are too, you both should just talk things out" she said and left the office

"thanks Mrs Whitney" he said to her as she left.

He carried the food and headed outside he had forgotten to ask her where she was sitting but judging from where she was coming from she's guessing that she's outside

and just like he predicted, she was outside, immediately Grace saw him coming towards her, she stood up and made her way into the hospital.

"come on Grace, you can't keep doing this" he dragged her back to sit down

"here you should sit first we will talk about this after we are both done eating" he said

Grace opened the food and saw that's it's a traditional food, she knew this was Mrs Whitney's work but she pretended not to notice.

After they finished eating, Mike held her hand and looked into her eyes

"Grace you have known me almost all your life and you should know that I will not hurt you deliberately, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about please make it clear" he pleaded with her.
