After leaving the radio station, Bruce drove directly to his girlfriend's house, not forgetting to buy a bouquet of roses along the way.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'm here to see Grace. Is she doing well now?" After tidying himself up, Bruce knocked on Grace's front door.
It was Grace's father and mother who opened the door.
"You brat, you made my daughter so sad, and you still dare to come to my house!" Grace's slightly short-tempered father, seeing the scoundrel who had bullied his daughter, his face became very ugly.
There was a strong tendency for him to act if there was any disagreement.
"Alright, old man. That's their young people's business, don't you get involved." Grace's gentle mother pulled her husband back.
Then she told him to go back to his room to "reflect" and not cause trouble here.
Although Grace's father seemed to have a fiery temper, he was very obedient to his wife. However, before he went back to his room, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Bruce, as if warning him.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Grace's mother, seeing the roses Bruce was holding, knew he was there to "reconcile" with her daughter, so her attitude was very friendly.
Moreover, a mother knows her daughter best. Grace's mother actually knew that her daughter cared deeply about the man in front of her.
"It's okay, I deserve it." Bruce was here to win back his girlfriend, so his attitude was very proper.
Then, he asked with concern, "Is Grace doing well?"
"Not very well. She's been cooped up in her room for two days and doesn't want to talk to us about anything." Speaking of her daughter's condition, Grace's mother's face also showed a worried expression.
Then, she looked at Bruce seriously and said, "I won't dwell on what happened between the two of you. I just hope you can persuade her well."
Grace was the only child in the family; as long as she was happy, her mother would be satisfied.
As for who was right and who was wrong, that was the young people's own business, and there was indeed no need to be too clear about it.
"It's all my fault. I will apologize to Grace properly," Bruce gave his future mother-in-law a positive answer, then walked towards his girlfriend's room.
In the small room filled with warm tones, Grace, who had not communicated with anyone for two days, looked very haggard.
At this moment, with her ears perked up, she also heard her boyfriend's arrival.
However, with too much resentment still in her heart, she didn't want to open the door for him.
"I'm sorry, Grace. I know I was a jerk before, not knowing how to cherish such a good girlfriend like you." Bruce, holding the roses, stood at the door and said, "But please give me another chance. I will prove that I will be a good husband..."
It was only at this moment that he, having a sudden realization, finally understood a man's responsibility.
And starting a family with Bruce was Grace's long-cherished wish.
Hearing her boyfriend's "promise," she had actually already forgiven him. However, out of modesty, she still didn't open the door for him immediately.
It was precisely this action that made Bruce misunderstand that his girlfriend had not forgiven him yet.
Standing at the door, he recalled his actions over the years, which indeed had been very unfair to Grace.
'Perhaps she would be happier without me...'
At some point, a strange thought appeared in Bruce's mind. Given his self-awareness, this thought became increasingly firm.
Similar to: If you love her, let her go—
Finally, after a long silence, Bruce quietly placed the roses at the door, then turned and left.
...
"How twisted," Mike, who appeared outside the building and watched a tragic drama, couldn't help but sigh.
With his ability to read minds, it was not difficult for him to see that both Bruce and his girlfriend had each other in their hearts.
They just needed one frank and open conversation to resolve the misunderstanding.
However, the development of events did not seem to be smooth.
"God is not omnipotent either. Instead of hoping for miracles in everything, it's better to achieve one's wishes through one's own efforts..." Angel One, who had also watched the entire process from the side, started mumbling again.
However, looking at the expression on his face, he seemed very satisfied with Bruce's reformed behavior.
Mike also figured out that this old geezer had deliberately watched Bruce waste Power of Faith a few days ago.
Then he wanted to see how the other party would treat people after losing his superpower.
From the results, Bruce's performance largely satisfied Angel One.
...
In the room, Grace, who was constantly paying attention to the movements outside, also heard her boyfriend leave, so she chased after him.
However, the door was already empty, with only a bouquet of roses left behind.
"Where is Bruce?" Grace asked her mother.
"He's already gone..." Seeing her daughter willing to come out of the room, Grace's mother was in a good mood and teased, "What, are you going to forgive him?"
"How could he just leave like that!" Grace became anxious, grabbed the bouquet, and chased after him.
At the same time, her mother's shouts reminding her to mind her appearance echoed from behind her.
Grace, who hadn't tidied herself up for two days, with her disheveled hair, was indeed not suitable for standing out on the street.
However, the girl could no longer care about these things.
Downstairs, Bruce, in a low mood, had already started his car, ready to leave. Under normal circumstances, even if Grace chased downstairs, she wouldn't be able to stop him.
However, Angel One was still watching from the side.
Angel One, who had just been saying "people must rely on themselves," now activated his superpower.
On the main road, a small truck driving erratically suddenly rushed off the road and directly crashed into Bruce's car.
Along with the violent crash, the bouquet of roses in Grace's hand also fell.
The girl had just come downstairs when she saw this "tragic" scene.
After a moment of stunned, Grace, risking the danger of the fuel tank exploding, rushed forward and pulled the blood-soaked Bruce out of the car.
"Bruce, are you okay? Can you hear me?" After reaching a safe area, Grace asked her weak boyfriend in her arms.
"I feel so tired..." Bruce, whose eyes were barely open, recognized his girlfriend in front of him and said weakly, "Grace, I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"
"What time is it, and you're still thinking about these things..." Looking at her boyfriend's miserable state, Grace's tears immediately fell, and she comforted him, "Hold on, don't fall asleep. I'll take you to the hospital right now."
Just as the girl was flustered, her parents rushed downstairs and helped call for an ambulance.
At the same time, a crowd of onlookers gathered around the accident scene.
"How could such a serious car accident happen here?"
"I heard someone was drunk driving and drove into the community parking lot..."
"This young man really suffered an undeserved disaster..."
...
Not far away, Mike turned to look at Angel One, who had caused all this.
'Didn't you say that humans need to work hard to achieve their wishes? Why are you still giving them special treatment...'
Yes, Bruce needed to thank this "car accident," which gave him and his girlfriend a chance to clear up their past grievances.
And Mike also saw that Angel One had secretly tampered with things when the car accident happened. Although Bruce looked miserable covered in blood, his injuries were not serious at all, at most some scratches and a slight concussion.
"Well, an angel's job is to give a little help to those who need it..." Angel One awkwardly explained himself.
He probably wanted to express: God helps those who help themselves—
