"Grace Amina, Jeon,"

Mrs. Hong looking at Grace while she's cleaning the kitchen. They had just finished eating lunch and the girl immediately cleaned up what they had eaten.

'How can she handle those things alone?' Mrs. Eliza Hong asked herself.

She's already broken, but she can't ask for help. Because they won't help her. Even her mom doesn't believe in her.

The old lady just sighed. And Grace heard her sigh. "Ma'am, are you all right?" She asked while wiping the sink, and smiled. "I'm okay don't worry about me Grace,"

"I heard you sighing, How can I not be worried?" Grace faced her and smiled while her clothes were dirty. The hand is foamy. Messy hair. And she hasn't taken a bath yet.

"I should be worried about you all the time ma'am I'm your private nurse, and I will do anything Just to make you comfortable and happy at the same time," Grace wiped her hand and pushed her wheelchair.

They went to the garden to breathe fresh air. Grace closed her eyes and she felt the cold wind splashing in her body.

The old lady is looking at her dearly. "Grace,"

"Yes?"

"Are you happy right now while working on me?" Grace realized her question and looked at the old woman next to her. She smiled.

"I...." She gulped.

"I'm happier than ever ma'am, don't worry about me, My name is Grace, Ever since I'm already messy, I used to be my old self. Weak. A cry baby. I can't even fight for myself. I don't even have a friend," The old lady heard her laughing.

"But now," She looked at her, and held her hand. "I'm already healed. I don't want myself to cry anymore. I want to love myself. I don't want to lose my smile anymore."

She just stared at the emptiness in an endless Imagination of hers. There is still a lonely and sad part of her that she can't tell everyone.

"That's why I'm working for you,"

"After a decade or more, I want myself to be new, I will come back as new. More stronger. More powerful. And I want them to respect me when I come back home." Grace said.

The old lady smiled at her, and caressed Grace's hand, the girl looked at her as she told a story. "I used to be a best doctor way back then,"

"My family really loves me, They're so proud of me, But you know..." Mrs. Hong sighed. "They only see my success but they don't see how I suffer in the process,"

"They're just using me because of my fame. Because of that I became a bold woman. Everyone is afraid of me because I'm doing what I want, Even my parents can't stop me."

"And I want you to be like me,"

"I want you to be Ace, grace."

"I don't want you to be used by other people because you are good. I want you to be the lead in your own life. I want to see you at the top of your dreams,"

Grace is silently crying beside her. She can't utter any words in her mouth because of the motivation that Mrs. Hong spits about her. "I know you're still hurting,"

"It's not easy to hide feelings Grace,"

"It's not easy to pretend,"

"Don't be hard on yourself too much,"

"I remember myself on you every time I see you," She wiped Grace's tears. She's now crying in front of her.

"We used to be weak and broken."

"I want you to pursue what you want."

"I want you to be happy Grace,"

"I don't want you to be like me, a person they used just because of their wants,"

"I want to see you speaking in front of the crowd, thanking yourself because you didn't give up on your dreams."

"I'm here as your second grandmother grace,"

"I'm here to support you,"

"I'm here to guide you all the time."

"Don't be scared in the dark paths, that is one of the scariest part of our life,"

"I can be your light,"

"Don't stick yourself into darkness, I can be your guide, your light, your backbone, I can stand with you,"

"W-Why are you telling me this ma'am? Even when I first came here. There isn't a day that you don't praise me, every time I see you, I'm seeing myself worth."

"I'm thinking that I'm still useful to other people," Her tears dropped while she's smiling. "Please guide me to my next Journey. Grandma."
