Antonio came again . Grace heard footsteps and her heart tightened . She quickly adjusted her expression , pretending to have a clueless look as if she had lost her memory . Antonio's gaze was gentle as he carefully observed Grace , attempting to find a hint of familiar response on her face . Grace stared at him coldly , without showing a hint of emotion . " Grace , do you feel better today ? " Antonio's voice was soft , carrying an unconscious desire to please . Grace's voice was faint . " If I hadn't seen Mr. Kaufman , I might have been better sooner . " Antonio's eyes flickered with pain , but he still managed to bring out the box in his hand . " You see , you would definitely like this gift . " During the days when she was sick , Antonio brought various things to please her , but without exception , all those things ended up in the trash . Antonio opened the box , unaffected by Grace's presence . It was Talia's painting , and Grace's pupils involuntarily dilated , as the pain in her heart struck again . Grandma , Talia , and she , just the place where Antonio used to be , became a desolate void . Antonio held the painting , his voice filled with nostalgia . " Grace , when people possess something , they often perceive it as ordinary . It is only when they lose it that they real- ize how important certain people truly are . " Antonio took out a painting and tried to hand it to her , attempting to awaken her memory . In an instant , a wave of warm memories of the past and moments spent with her daughter flooded Grace's mind , caus- ing her eyes to involuntarily turn red . She instinctively reached out her hand , wanting to take the painting , and the natural and familiar expression in her movement instantly caught Antonio's attention . " Grace , did you … did you regain your memory ? " Antonio's eyes were filled with anticipation and unease . 0.0 % 10:59 Μπαμπο Grace realized her misconduct and felt deeply remorseful in her heart , but she also understood that she could no longer continue to pretend . She remained silent for a moment , slowly lifted her head and said nothing . Antonio saw Grace's silence and his eyes turned red . He urgently and sincerely apologized . " Grace , I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past and caused you a lot of pain . " " I caused you to lose your grandmother and indirectly caused the death of Talia , I am a sinner . " " It's all my fault for trusting Yesenia , causing you to suffer time and time again , and neglecting your feelings . Many times , I didn't give you enough trust and support . " He took a deep breath and continued speaking . " But I truly know I was wrong . During this period , I have been reflecting day and night , understanding how important you are to me . I beg you to give me another chance , forgive me this time , and let us start over . Is that okay ? " Grace listened to Antonio's confession , and tears rolled down uncontrollably . The past hurts are vividly remembered , those painful memories are sharper than knives , poking her with countless wounds . What is the use of apologizing now ? Grace's hatred surged in her heart , and her voice also grew colder . " Antonio , what were you installing ? " " Without your indulgence , could Yesenia have been so resolute ? " " Could you erase everything you did by blaming it all on Yesenia ? " " You left , and I would never forgive you . " Antonio's heart seemed to be struck hard by a heavy hammer , and he trembled as he reached out his hand , wanting to grab Grace , but then stopped in mid - air . His voice was filled with endless pain . " Grace , I beg you not to be so determined . Think about our past , we would still have children . " " Snap . " A loud slap silenced Antonio's words . Grace's eyes were bloodshot . " Go away , just get out of here . " " What qualifications do you have to say such things , you disgusting man , incompetent father .
