After the art exhibition ended, Grace returned to Clastein.
She wanted to return to the little attic overlooking the ocean and the volcano and the embrace of her “mother”.
“Mary, if someone who once hurt you deeply begs for your love, would you give it to them?”
Grace rested on Mary's lap, her long hair spread out.
In the soothing strokes, Grace once again smelled the comforting scent of chamomile.
“Grace.”
After returning, Grace told Mary and Andy her real name.
Since Antoand the Parrish family in Osmal City already knew that “Camille” was Grace, there was no need to
hide it from her closest people.
“Yes?” Grace held Mary's aged hand.
Mary lowered her head, her expression full of affection. “If you ask me, | would only tell you not to give them
love or forgive them, and never. How desperate would you have felt back then if you chose to forgive them so
easily now?”
Grace was stunned, thinking, “Yes. How can | make a decision for my past self?
“Moreover, it's hard to repair a broken relationship, and it

It was Antonio.
Gaven told Grace that someone was willing to pay seven figures for the painting “Fire in the Rain“.
She knew without thinking that the client was Antonio.
In this world, only he would fully understand the meaning behind “Fire in the Rain“.
After the transaction was completed, Grace asked Naomi for Antonio’s contact information.
She then transferred half of the amount back to his account.
Grace knew very well whether this work was worth that price.
She didn’t want to inflate the price of the painting because of srelationship. She wouldn't take the chance to
brag about how valuable her work was.
Antosent her smessages, “Grace, Clastein has been rainy lately. Remember to take an umbrella when
you go out.”
“If it rains and you feel pain, you can use the ointment I sent to you.”
He kept texting her.
The latest one was “I'm sorry. I've been worried because you haven't replied. Please forgive my intrusion”.

The next morning, Grace sent Antothe location for their meeting.
It was a temple in Clastein, which was very popular and built next to a fall.
The spot where Grace and Antowere facing allowed them to see the magnificent waterfall.
Grace looked at Antoand asked, “Are you all healed?”
Antonodded. “Yes.”
“That's good,” Grace smiled. “Antonio, every t| stand here, | can’t help but marvel at the wonders of nature
and the insignificance of humans. | always think that a person’s life is fleeting, with love and hate in a flash.”
She quietly stared at Antonio, who was no longer young, and saw her own aging reflection in his eyes.
“Antonio, we don’t have much tleft in our lives.”
As if he sensed what Grace was about to say, Antonio's heart skipped a beat and ached.
He wanted to speak but was interrupted by Grace’s gentle shake of the head.
“Antonio, | don’t want to turn back. Before | left Osmal City, | told myself that | could only move forward. There
are too many things between us, love, hate, anger, and bitterness. Sorry, but | can’t let go of the past.”

Grace smiled faintly, “Maybe in 10 or 20 years, | will let go. By then, we can sit down and have a drink, but there
will be no ‘love’ between us anymore.”
Hearing this, Antounderstood he had missed her.
After a long silence, he said with difficulty, “I see. | won't bother you anymore. Seeing you doing well is enough
for me.”

“Okay. Clastein is beautiful. | wish you a pleasant journey.” These were the last words Grace left for Antonio
before they parted.
After their separation, they never saw each other again for
years.

woman in
Osmal City.
