Marcus Grant didn’t know how big a blow he’d taken, after going back, he fell ill.
No more of the Grant family’s drama to watch.
But the family began preparing for my wedding with Leonard Grant, keeping busy.
That day I was contemplating the dowry when an uninvited guest arrived.
Lily Blake appeared in front of me looking all pitiful, crying like a waterfall.
“Miss Harper, please go see President Grant!”
I turned sideways and tugged away the skirt corner she almost grabbed.
“Miss Harper, President Grant is seriously ill, unable to wake up, calling your name in his dreams repeatedly.”
“If you see him, maybe he’ll wake up!”
I looked down at her, not very interested in responding.
“Miss Harper, you and President Grant grew up together, childhood sweethearts, please go see
him!”
Lily Blake began to bow again:
“It was my presumptuousness!”
“As long as you nod, I’m willing to just be President Grant’s lover, and won’t show up in front of you to bother you!”
“Miss Harper, I’m begging you!”

Just as I frowned, a cold shout came from beside me:
“What are the security guards doing, letting any stray cat or dog in?”
Whoa, since the family’s servants cursed Marcus Grant as a “dog,” they’ve become more
outspoken.
“Security! Get her out!”
After Lily Blake was kicked out, she was never let in again.
This was an insignificant matter, but the more I thought about her words, the more something
felt off.
Marcus Grant got sick and called my name?
He wasn’t that deeply affectionate towards me.
Moreover, last time he said something about dreaming of marrying me.
Could he possibly…
Even my rebirth is strange, so nothing is impossible.
But what if he remembered the past life, where should I move my third chess piece?

Back then, I boasted to Leonard Grant that if he cooperated with me, with just three steps, he could reclaim what was originally his.
In the last life, I died so miserably; there’s no way I’d let Marcus Grant comfortably become the
heir.
Let alone control the Grant Corporation.
I had people monitor the hospital’s happenings.
Marcus Grant has woken up, seemingly without anomalies.
Nothing major happened in the Grant family.
Marcus Grant stopped causing a fuss about breaking off his engagement, instead postponed his wedding with Lily Blake.
This made me even more uneasy.
Marcus Grant’s nature is to never give up until he reaches his goal.
Could he have postponed the wedding because…

He too knows, this time is running out.
My third chess piece will be played on a night a month from now.
That night, without a sound, Old Master Grant passed away.
