106 Love Spell (1/2)
”Gracie, you'rebeautiful,very beautiful. You come from a well - respected family and you are a doctor. I cannot mention each of your attributes, those were just too many. Don't degrade yourself by running after a married man.”
”I think you're exaggerating,
Dr. John. Yes, I wanted to get near him and that I always looked for ways to get close to him but I am never devising any harmful plots for them. And I had no plans to destroy their marriage. Perhaps,all I wanted was just a little attention from him. ”
Of course, she should not tell him all those plots she had in mind,all waiting to be carried out.
”You need nothide your true feelings and intentions,Gracie. And I would appreciate it if you can talk to me like a friend.”
”I'm telling the truth.” Dr. Grace insisted.
”What about the marriage arrangement of your parents and Jim's father? ”
Dr. Grace creased her brows in astonishment.
”I don't understand. ” She honestly said.
Dr. Aijohn stared at her, wondering if she's pretending as oblivious to the plan or she indeed did not know about it at all. ”You do not know about your marriage arrangement?”
”What are you talking about? One time,Mr. Wayne set up a plan for us to be alone with each other but it did not work. It's only that.”
Dr. Aijohn somehow felt she was telling the truth. Perhaps, her parents did not tell her about their whole plan after all.
”What I know is that Mr. Wayne is planning to get Dr. Jima marriage annulment so that you two can get married.”
Dr. Grace was dumbfounded. Should she rejoice? She thought back on the cold attention Jim had always given her,the news of his marriage,the contrast of how Dr. Aijohn treated her because of Hailey, his admonitions. Out of anticipation,this piece of news no longer made her happy.

Back in the tent, Jia opened again the FB post of Anthon. She saw the comments multiplied to over a hundred. She squinted. To her horror, it was her comment that attracted commotions from her class!
My gosh! Where was her brain? She thought of deleting her comment but it would only confirm their suspicions.
She looked at Jim. ” Jim, what should I do?” She bit her lower lip.
Jim pulled her close. ”What is it? ”
Jia showed him the post and the comments thrown in response to her short, astounding statement.
Jim patted her head.”The best thing you can do is to put your phone down and lie down with me. This is such a beautiful place for you to worry.
She put down her phone and slipped under the sleeping bag beside Jim. Through a nylon mesh opening on the top of the tent,they could see the stars and the moonlit skies. Jia snuggled to Jim and the latter cuddled her. To be in the arms of the one she loved in a place which portray what Garden of Eden must be like, to hear the rolling waves in a pristine sand and to see the glittering skies and the world's magnificent night lamp, was one of her life's most wonderful fulfillments.
