Every day upon waking, he would have someone deliver several crates of alcohol to the room Grace used to live
in, and he would drink himself into a stupor.
Each the drank, his stomach would be wracked with convulsive pain. He would then take smedicine
along with the alcohol and continue to drink himself senseless.
After half a month of such self-harm, his body could no longer
withstand it, and he was taken to hospital after vomiting blood.
When the Kaufmans
heard it and rushed over, the doctor handed them the diagnosis report.
When Quinten saw the
words "malignant gastric perforation" on the report, his face turned extremely ugly. Antonio’ mother, Marlene,
even fainted on the spot.
However, when Antowoke up and learned about his condition, he showed no reaction. He just lay listlessly on
the bed, his face lifeless.
The subsequent treatment was also fraught with difficulties.
No matter who tried to persuade him, Antowouldn't listen. He didn't follow medical advice and take his
medication. He even sneaked out of the hospital multiple times to avoid examinations.
Under such circumstances, his condition deteriorated rapidly.

Their last glimpse of hope finally cwhen Marlene heard from Morton that Antonio's self-
destructive behavior might be related to Grace. She immediately rushed to the Hudson's villa, desperate to meet
her.
However, no matter how much she pleaded, Devin refused her request.
Marlene was so angry that she even cursed outside the gate.
Unfortunately, she was photographed by the press and made headlines that night.
At the stime, there were also headlines
about numerous internal issues within the Kaufman Group.
The most prominent were the many misdeeds of Antonio, who was accused of being emotionally driven and unfit
for leadership.
In an instant, the reputation of the Kaufman family
plummeted. Journalists swarmed downstairs at the Kaufman's villa and the hospital, hoping to dig out more
news.
To preserve what little reputation they had left, and to provide Antowith a better environment for his
treatment, the Kaufmans sent him abroad overnight for medical care.
Grace was uninterested in the turmoil outside.
After returning to Cruxfield, there was a setback in
the Daywich project, which required Devin's follow-
up. Thus, their honeymoon was still postponed.
Taking advantage of this time, Grace moved
into the villa in Julstead Hills to oversee the renovation personally.
When Devin returned from his business trip, she surprised him by picking him up at the airport. Then they went
straight to their new home.
As the sun set, the bright golden light shone upon the garden filled with tulips. As the summer evening breeze
rustled the curtains, the wind chimes at the eaves tinkled merrily.
Looking at the transformed and refreshed courtyard, Devin smiled happily and gently.
Grace led him through the villa,
introducing him to each room in the house. They went to the living room
and kitchen on the first floor, then to the bedroom and study on the
second floor, and so on.

As he listened to her whisper, Devin smiled more brightly.

Devin took her hand, his index finger tracing the diamond ring, his eyes shining like the stars.
