Graceland’s POV:

补家 28%日

As we left the Rochester estate, I could feel my chest loosening up as if the air was being put back into me. Finally, I’d altered the course of my previous life! For the first time, I looked forward to what my future would bring.

After getting into the limo, I took one last look at the Rochester estate. I was there for over thirteen years in my previous life, and it left me nothing but pain and death. I said a final farewell to myself, allowing my heart to finally release the hurt. Now, all that was left was fury. As soon as my husband regained his consciousness, I would destroy the

Rochester and Brooks.

We arrived at the estate a little after 2:30PM. I informed Marla and Theo that I would like

to visit Kai. For some reason, my heart was aching to see him. By now, my stomach was roaring from hunger. Marla immediately grabbed my hand; what do you say we all have some lunch before you visit Kai. Her eyes were bright and filled with joy. I nodded in

agreement.

As soon as we entered the foyer, I could hear Kayla’s squeal of excitement.

“Sister–in–law!!! She’s here!!”

I couldn’t help but laugh as she ran towards me. We hugged each other tightly as Grandpa Teddy entered the foyer. I couldn’t help but feel there was a difference in their energy towards me. It was as if their love for me grew overnight.

“There she is! What do you say you go and wake my knucklehead grandson up so this family can be complete.”

Even though he chuckled, I could hear the faint sadness in his words. Everyone was coasting; praying Kai would finally wake up. I wanted to help in any way I could, I owed the Christiansens everything! I wouldn’t let them down!

I smiled at Grandpa Teddy.

“That’s the plan.”

After lunch I felt energized! The Christiansens went all out! I couldn’t remember the last

time I’d ate that good. After getting settled in, I headed to the hospital to see Kai. Marla had given me a key for the VIP floor.

“Now I’ve already updated the hospital staff, so you have full clearance. Cameron will be there to greet you since it’s your first time by yourself. This is your own personal key to enter the VIP floor.”

“You’re not coming with me?”

Marla smiled gently.

“I think Kai would appreciate some alone time with his fiancé.”

I blushed at the thought of being alone with Kai. Why did I feel so shy all of a sudden? Brushing those thoughts away, I headed to the hospital.

Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by Cameron. With a warm smile he shook my

hand.

“Ms. Teagues, it’s a pleasure to see you again.”

I smiled inwardly, Marla must’ve asked him to refer to me as Teagues instead of

Rochester.

“You as well Cameron. I trust you’ve been well?”

“I have.”

He introduced me to all of the staff and informed them by word of House Christiansen I would be privileged to any medical updates regarding Kai. As we got closer to the room, Cameron paused.

“I’ll be taking my leave now madam. I only wanted to make sure your first visit went smoothly.”

I nodded and thanked him for all of his help. My heart started to pump rapidly as I entered Kai’s room. The nurse had just finished checking his vitals. Slightly startled as I entered, she quickly greeted me with a smile.

“You must be Ms. Teagues, the young master’s fiancé. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“You’ll be happy to know Master Christiansen’s health has improved significantly. We’re noticing a high increase in his brain activity that we haven’t seen since his arrival.”

“I’m not sure if you remember me, but I’m Graceland Teagues. Your new fiancé. Please don’t be angry at your parents for setting this up without your consent! I promise, I’ll do everything in my power to be a wife worthy of House Christiansen!”

“So, I know I’ve been introducing myself as Graceland Teagues, but my birth name is actually Rochester. There’s a reason I go by Teagues…that I’ll save for when you wake up. The stories I tell today will be filled with nothing but love.‘

“And when I played my first sonata, you should have seen her face. The tears instantly swelled up her eyes. My mom was so dramatic.”

I stood up and stared at him for a few more moments before leaving. Smiling brightly, I bid him a good night.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, this time with my violin.

When I arrived home, the family was all in the grand room. Marla instantly popped up. A smile brightly on her face.

“Did you enjoy yourself my dear?”

I couldn’t help but display a huge smile, I actually did enjoy myself. I haven’t had a talk

like that in a long time.

“I did. It was very peaceful. Also, the nurses stated he’s been showing some remarkable brain activity. If it’s okay with everyone, I’d like to try something.”

Everyone grew quiet as they waited to hear my idea.

Theo spoke softly.

“Whatever idea you have my dear, you’ll have our full support.

I smiled brightly at my new father–in–law.
