Love in Blind (Caden and Grace)

Chapter 39 Live Like A Human Being

Chapter 39 Live Like a Human Being

Things were simple. It was so simple that all it took was for Grace to continue to cowardly and

undignifiedly comply with any of Ruby's unreasonable and even insulting demands.

But in the deepest part of her heart, she was greedy - she wanted that long-lost "respect" so that she

didn't have to be like before and only needed to be like the most ordinary people to get the respect of

"human" that she deserved.

But apparently, things didn't go as planned.

Since then, Grace hid her heart, which was riddled with holes, even deeper. She hid the things that her

heart longed for in the depths of her soul, where no one could touch it. There were dark, cold, and

lonely as when the deep sea was at its most still.

Ruby came and went. She always came at mealtime and left after delivering the food.

"I want to get out of the hospital." On the fourth night after the incident, Ruby, as grim as ever, put a

take-out box on Grace's hospital bedside table, turned and prepared to leave. Behind her, the woman

in the hospital bed who had been silent said slowly.

This coarse and slow voice caused Ruby, who had been indifferent for four days, to stop. She turned

her head somewhat agitatedly and refused without thinking, "No. You are not well enough."

Did she care about her? Grace looked fixedly at Ruby, "I'm better. My fever's gone. I want to work."

"You did that on purpose, didn't you? You want everyone to see the gauze on your forehead?" Ruby

said angrily, "Grace, you are indeed something. The saying that you may know a person's face but not

his mind is really true. I thought you were honest, but I didn't expect you to be such a schemer."

Grace lowered her eyelashes to hide the disappointment in her eyes. Sure enough, she thought too

much. How could she care about her!

When she looked at Ruby again, Grace's eyes became a little numb, "I have to go to work. You're

going to do the discharge papers."

With that, she lifted the covers, got out of bed slowly, and changed into the clothes she'd worn when

she came.

Ruby's eyes widened in shock. Was Grace just ordering her?

She?

Grace?

Order her?

A sense of humiliation arose!

She watched as that woman who got out of the hospital bed limped slowly to the door. Even though

she was walking slowly, she was indeed ready to leave the room. In other words, Grace was serious

about what she said and wasn't joking!

She was really ready to leave the hospital!

How did this work!

Ruby's gaze fell on Grace's forehead in a flash of panic. She was still afraid. How could the cripple go

back to the Royal Club before the gauze on her head was removed?

Without even thinking, she moved her feet to get in Grace's way, "Grace, why are you so cheap! Work?

That's a nice way of putting it. People who don't know will think about how much you love to work and

how much you love your job.

Your job? Isn't your job just to please men? You haven't recovered from your illness, and you're in such

a hurry to please men? You just can't wait to be a bitch?

Or do you actually enjoy the process? Why else would you rush to the Royal Club despite your sick

body?"

All Ruby could think about now was keeping Grace from going to the Royal Club, and she ignored how

harsh her words were. The more she talked, the more silent Grace became. She just looked down at

her toes. Her hands behind her back were clenched into fists and she couldn't stop shaking. She

wanted to retort and explain so badly.

But she knew well enough that it was useless to retort her.

It was true that she got down on her knees for money.

It was true she got down on her knees and learned to wag tail like a dog just for more money.

It was true she didn't talk nonsense, and she was telling the truth in front of her.

That was exactly what she did!

What could she retort to her?

Could she explain it clearly?

"Everyone has a belief. That might be a person or a faith," she said in a hoarse voice and suppressed

the soreness in her heart. Grace said as calmly as she could, "And for that faith, for that person, for

that belief, the people who try to achieve and strive to get it, at least they shouldn't be laughed at."

Ruby froze for a moment. She looked up and down at Grace who was standing in front of her. How

could such words come from an ignorant and cheap woman who hadn't even graduated from high

school? She wondered where the cripple had seen it.

With that thought in her mind, she looked at Grace with even more contempt.

As she finished, Grace slowly lifted her foot and stepped around Ruby. But she quickly grabbed her

arm with one hand, "You can't go. You must stay here to recover until the wound on your forehead is

healed!"

Grace slowly looked up at Ruby and said one word at a time, "I'm going to work, and it's none of your

business."

She seemed weak, but she fiercely pulled Ruby's grip on her arm away. Without looking at Ruby, who

was shocked, she lifted her foot and walked out.

Behind her, Ruby reacted and lifted her foot to catch up. Grace had trouble with her feet and walked

slowly, so she was easily caught up by Ruby. Grace didn't turn around and just heard the sound of

footsteps coming up behind her. Her throat was burned by the fire. But as she continued forward on her

limp legs, she said slowly but firmly.

"If you dare try to stop me again, I'll call Gloria."

So what was Ruby compared to Leona, who had saved her life with hers in that dark prison?

Ruby or anyone else, even that man, Grace couldn't think of anything more important than Leona.

Grace just let the woman behind her who could only stare at her fiercely set her eyes on herself, and let

Ruby be furious but not really dare come up to stop her again. She took one step at a time and walked

out of the hospital.

Ruby didn't realize that the lowly, humble, incompetent, uneducated, illiterate girl she saw as nothing,

walked with more ease and pride than she did as an honors student of S University. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Ruby, of course, hadn't noticed a man leaning lazily against the doorframe with his chest in his hands

at the door to the room next door to Grace's ward. The man took one last look at the elevator where

Grace had disappeared, stood up straight, lifted his slender legs, and walked past Ruby toward the

elevator where Grace had gone down.

Grace took the elevator down. She had trouble with her legs and was even slower to walk. Besides,

although her fever was down, her body was even weaker. She slowly made her way out of the hospital

gates and stood at the intersection, reaching out to stop a taxi.

"I'm going to the Royal Club. No meter. Can't you make it a little cheaper?"

The driver stretched out his head and looked at her, "It's hard to do business these days. This is a taxi,

not an unlicensed one. Are you going to take it? I'll drive away if you don't take."

Apparently, this driver didn't want to budge. Helplessly, Grace fumbled with the pocket of the jacket

she'd worn to the hospital and looked up, "I've only got twenty dollars on me."

"That's enough. Get in the car."

If she could, she wouldn't take a taxi because it was too expensive. Just today, she thought maybe she

could forget her embarrassment, and perhaps she could have the luxury of taking a taxi.

It was as if taking a taxi could make her seem as dignified as the many other ordinary people on the

street.

Grace was trying her best to make herself look like a human being and an ordinary person. She longed

for the dignity that ordinary people can have.

Yes. She still craved it inside, but she would never again ask others to give it to her.

No matter how hard she begged for, she couldn't get what others refused to give her.

So, she would try to live as if she were a human being.
