Chapter 8 Juliana was speechless . After a moment , she gave a cold smile . " Ridiculous ." She turned away dismissively and walked toward the dining room , clearly uninterested in continuing the conversation with Tracie . Tracie turned to look at Grover . " Grover , I've seen in dramas where one spouse doesn't directly give the divorce papers to the other , but sends someone else to do it , which leads to misunderstandings . To avoid that , I'm giving it to you personally . Please sign it as soon as possible . And … " She paused and looked at Wendi . Her voice softened and became hoarse . " Since you've already planted the idea in Wendi's mind about picking a new mother , I hope you'll always treat her like a treasure . As long as she can grow up happy and healthy , I'll pretend … I never … gave birth to her ." " With that , Tracie nearly ran out of the villa . She couldn't stay another moment . If she did , she would break down and cry . Chapter 8 Yes , she had already let go of Wendi . But hearing Wendi say she didn't want her anymore , that she wanted to kick her out - those words still felt like a lightning strike to her heart , making every part of her ache . As soon as Tracie left the villa , Grover received a call from Lesa , asking him to come to the hospital . Grover , along with Juliana and Wendi , drove to the Children's Hospital in the city to the blood disorder department . If Tracie were here now , Lesa would slap her and make her apologize ! " She ran away from home , " Grover said flatly . Chapter 8 . Adolfo and Cherry both froze , stunned . Cherry , shaking with anger , laughed bitterly . " She ran away ? At a time like this ? Doesn't she realize she's practically condemning Oliver to death ? " Lesa sobbed . " She knows Oliver needs her blood , and she's doing this to make things harder for us ." " This is outrageous ! How dare she ? Doesn't she fear Grover will divorce her ? I'm calling her right now and asking how she could be so bold ! " Cherry grabbed the phone in the hospital room and dialed Tracie's number . Meanwhile , Tracie saw that the call was from the Children's Hospital . She immediately knew it was the Stanton family . She hung up without a second thought . After a brief pause , she turned off her phone . She didn't want to have anything to do with the Stanton family . She drove to the best rehabilitation center for deaf and mute children in the city . By the time she arrived , it was exactly noon . At the registration desk , she said , " I'm here to pick up Rico ." Just then , a little boy , about five or six years old , came running Chapter 8 toward her , a big smile on his face . As he ran , he called out , " Mom ! Mom ! " His words were clear , and there was no trace of the deafness he once had . Tracie opened her arms , and the boy rushed into them . Tears streamed down her face as she whispered , " Rico , you'll be the only child I have from now on … " Rico Stanton was the child that Tracie and Grover adopted . When Tracie first discovered she was pregnant , she went to her prenatal checkup alone . On the way , she passed by a large dumpster and heard a faint cry . It was barely audible , almost unnoticeable . Yet it tugged at her heart . She approached the dumpster and found a tiny baby inside . The baby was burning with a high fever . Without hesitation , Tracie picked up the baby and rushed to the hospital for a full examination . Chapter 9
