Chapter56
After Keyla was driven away by Antonio, she still didn’t give up.
She thought Antonio had always loved her and since the last
time at the hotel was fake, she decided to set up a real one.
In the dimly lit bar, Antonio sat alone in the corner drinking. He
had been busy with Laney’s study abroad plans and barely paid
attention to his work. Grace’s departure hit him harder than
Keyla’s back then. He could never forgive himself for the harm
he had done to Grace. Only alcohol could make him temporarily
forget that Grace was gone.
“Take this drink to that gentleman over there.”
Keyla pushed a glass of wine towards a waiter. She was
determined to get Antonio tonight.
Antonio felt hot all over and restless. He tried to get up but fell
into a soft embrace. Groggy, he seemed to see Grace.
“Grace, is that you? Have you come to take me home?”
Keyla didn’t speak, just nodded. She helped Antonio out and
took him to the room she had booked in advance. At this point,
Antonio couldn’t tell who he was holding. His longing for Grace
was at its peak.

“Grace, I really, really love you. So, you’ve come back, right?”
He kissed the person underneath him, someone he had.
dreamed of seeing. However, when he smelled Keyla’s unique
perfume, he suddenly came to his senses. He rushed into the
bathroom and doused himself with cold water to calm his
irritation. When he came out, he saw Keyla lying on the bed,
naked.
“Why is it you? Keyla, do you have any shame?”
Keyla wasn’t angry. She got up and pushed Antonio down.
She then said, “As long as I can have you, I don’t care about
shame. Antonio, when you had sex with Grace that day, you
called my name, didn’t you?
“So, today, I won’t mind if you take me as her…”
Antonio pushed her down and slapped her twice. Keyla could no
longer keep her seductive demeanor. She couldn’t believe that
even under the influence of drugs, Antonio could still control
himself. In fact, she had underestimated how much he despised
her.
“Antonio, didn’t you love me? Now that I’m offering myself to
you, why don’t you want me?”
Antonio glared at her with disgust. He had once loved her
Chapter55
deeply. However, that was because he didn’t realize his true
feelings and her viciousness.
“Keyla, I was blind to love such a scum like you. You will pay for
what you’ve done.”
He took advantage of his sobriety and left unsteadily.
Meanwhile, he said to himself, “Grace, in this world, no one
deserves my love except you. I just want to guard you as you
once guarded me, but why won’t you give me a chance?”
It started raining heavily outside. Antonio ran into the rain. The cold rain extinguished the agitation caused by the drugs. His heart was as cold as his body, and he fell into a fever that night.
“Antonio, let’s go to the hospital!”
Antonio returned home drenched. After Laney helped him
change his clothes, she found his body temperature was burning up. Antonio was her only family, so she was afraid something would happen to him. However, Antonio stubbornly
believed this was his punishment, saying that a fever was nothing compared to Grace enduring a ruthless abortion alone.
Laney, I’m fine. Go get some antipyretics, and I’ll be okay after
taking it.”
Laney rushed out to find the med kit. However, when she

opened it, she found there were no more antipyretics. At that
moment, she finally remembered that Grace used to regularly
replace expired drugs. However, after she left, no one took care
of these trivial matters.
Dejectedly, she took out some money, grabbed an umbrella, and
went out to buy medicine. As she walked, she cried bitterly,
regretting that they had lost such a wonderful family. Seeing
Antonio in pain, she suffered too.
Antonio had a fever for three days. In a daze, he often mistook
Laney for Grace. With no other choice, Laney could only call 911
and take him to the hospital. However, Antonio was not.
cooperative with the treatment at all.
“Antonio, take your medicine, okay? If you continue like this, how
can I rest assured and go study abroad?”
Antonio stared blankly out the window. He only turned his gaze
when he heard Laney crying. Those days when he was ill, he
often thought it would be better to just die. The next moment,
he realized that he still had a sister, and he couldn’t leave her
alone so cruelly.
