Grace sat in the car, watching the scenery receding on both sides.
She began to hum softly. A beautiful and soothing song filled the
air in the car.
Jason raised his eyebrows slightly and waited until Grace had finished singing before asking, Whats this song?
Strolling Down the Path of Life. Its an old song. My grandmother loved listening to it. She was the one who taught me to sing it. I used to sing it for fun when I was a kid. I didnt understand much of the lyrics back then, but the older I grew, the more I understand
them, answered Grace.
Its indeed a good song, he said.
Yes, too bad Grandma cant teach me any more songs, she
murmured, looking exhausted.
She had only slept for three to four hours a day. She spent most of
her time beside her grandmothers refrigerated coffin or was busy
with funeral affairs, so she did not have time to sleep properly.
Get some shut-eye if youre tired. Its a two-hour drive back,
said Jason.
Grace responded, and Jason helped her to adjust her seat to the right angle for a comfortable nap.
She leaned her head back in the chair and closed her eyes, falling asleep after a while.
Jason stared at her sleeping face and took out a small silver bracelet from his chest pocket a moment later.
The silver bracelet was identical to the little silver bracelet Brian carried with him. They were a set.
One was with Brian while the other was in a box of belongings that Old Mrs. Lu left for Grace.
Before she was admitted to the hospital, Old Mrs. Lu had given it to a close friend for safekeeping. She told her friend that if she died, the contents were to be given to Grace.
What an old woman in a small town left in a box was of course nothing of value. They were just some jewelry that Graces late mother left to Old Mrs. Lu, and she added some of her own jewelry for Grace.
This small silver bracelet was also among the pile of jewelry, looking a little out of place among the others.
He had taken the bracelet beforehand. He was afraid that she would overthink it if she saw the bracelet. The last thing he
wanted was for her to remember her past with Brian.
Now that Stella Lindsay had taken Graces place and was found by Brian, it was probably the perfect ending to the affair.

Jason stroked the cold silver bracelet gently, his long eyelashes covering the conspiracy in his eyes.
He had always achieved his goals by hook or by crook. He never
thought there was anything wrong with his approach to things, but often in the face of Graces trusting eyes, he would be left. with a heavy heart. Even breathing would become increasingly
difficult.
Dont blame it on me, Grace, he said these five words silently as he clenched the little silver bracelet tightly in his palm
