Inside the VVIP room a famous restaurant in downtown Mexico, has gathered 2 families. Alexander's family with Chris, Maria, Theo, and also Freya. The other family is the Horison family, with Steve and Gregory.
“Steve?” greet Chris as he enters the room. He was quite surprised because it turns out Grace will marry the nephew of Steve Horison. Grace didn't say who she was getting married to.
“It's nice to see you again, Chris,” greet Steve and they hug each other and give a pat on each other's shoulders.
“I'm also very happy to see you again. Hello Maria,” greet Steve also to his best friend's wife.
They sat together at a round table. All the food had been ordered by Steve and they had just finished serving it all.
“Isn't this Captain Gregory? Who ever handled the case experienced by Theo?” ask Chris.
“Yes, he is my nephew. Son of Stella,” replied Steve.
“Stella? Have you found it? How is he doing?” Chris' relationship with Steve is not as close as Chris with Oscar and Hector. Since their meeting when they found Grace, they rarely met because of their respective busyness.
“He's dead,” replied Steve.
“Ahh forgive me. I didn't know it at all,” Chris said.
“It's okay, after all it's long gone. Most importantly I still had time to meet him, even though I did not have the chance to meet David,” Steve said with a faint smile.
Stella's? David's? Why do I feel familiar with both names.inner Grace.
“Is there anything?” ask Gregory who saw the change in Grace's face.
“Ahh is okay. I'm sorry for not knowing anything about your family,” Grace said slowly.
Gregory held Grace's hand and patted her, “I'll tell you all about my family. I just hope you're not disappointed to hear it,” Gregory whispered.
“Alright, let's enjoy our dinner first,” said Steve so that the atmosphere is happy again. Wouldn't they talk about happy things, so he didn't want to remember the things that made his heart sad.
They ate dinner with pleasure. Sometimes they talk and throw jokes. Until they finally finished and started the real conversation.
“So, I want to propose to Grace for my niece, Gregory,” Steve said with a smile.
“We leave everything to our daughter. If he agrees and accepts this proposal, then our job is just to participate in his happiness and help him prepare a beautiful marriage,” Chris said.
Gregory retreated his chair, then knelt down beside Grace. He took out a small box covered in velvet, then opened it.
“Grace Alexander, Will You Marry Me?” ask Gregory. Grace who saw Gregory like that smiled and nodded her head. He was sure that his face was now red. If only he could hide it, maybe he would take it off and put it in a bag.
A nod from Grace, making the atmosphere more cheerful. The two of them got such wide applause and smiles on the faces of the family members.
Freya hugs Grace and congratulates, “Congratulation! Remember, make the most of me before this baby in the belly comes out,” Freya whispered and made Grace laugh.

1 week later, news of the marriage between Gregory, Steve Horison's niece and Grace, quickly surfaced. The doctors and nurses were seen talking about it, but no one dared to frontally ask Grace.
“I didn't seduce her,” Grace replied. She has no bad thoughts on Hanna, though Hanna once asked for her help to be close to her future husband.
“I don't believe you. Is your career brilliant because of the help of Doctor Steve?” ask Hanna again.
Grace breathed slowly. At this time he wants to be happy to welcome his wedding day, but why his friend seems to want to find a gap to damage it.
“I don't know what you think, it's all up to you.”
“You don't dispute that, which means it's all true. You're really lucky Grace because your appeal worked. Maybe you have a descendant of seductresses.”
Brakk!!!
Grace can't hold back her anger anymore when Hanna takes her Mommy with her, even boldly saying that her Mommy is a seductive woman.
“You don't know anything about me and about my family, so never draw your own conclusions,” Grace said as she walked away from Hanna who originally invited her to lunch in the hospital cafeteria.
Grace felt her heart ache when her Mommy was considered a seductive woman.
You all know nothing - inner Grace. He walked straight to his practice room, then locked the door. Actually he was very hungry because he missed his morning meal, but hearing Hanna's words, made his hunger instantly disappear.

Grace now lives with Alexander's family. Actually he did not want to trouble them, but Aunty Maria forced him because after marriage later, Grace would be less likely to go back there.
“Darling, Aunty has cooked your favorite meal. Let's eat together,” take Maria.
“Good, Aunty,” Grace is very grateful to be adopted by the Alexander family. They are very kind and full of love. What would happen if he hadn't met them.
Grace now sits in three with Chris and Maria. Theo and Freya have their own home and it is Chris who asks Theo to live apart because he wants Theo to be a more responsible man.
At the dinner table, Grace tells Chris and Maria about the beginning of her meeting with Gregory, until their relationship is getting closer. Of course it was because of Maria who asked, otherwise Grace would have told him.
“Dad used to know Stella, Mommy from Gregory. That's because Dad was best friends with Steve, his brother. He loves a man named David, they run away together because the two families do not approve of their relationship. Both of Stella's parents were so shocked that one of them had heart disease and the other followed. That's why Steve became a doctor.”
“But I heard they finally met,” asked Grace a little curiously.
“Yes, but that's after a dozen years. Steve told me that it was not wrong maybe when Gregory was 17 years old.”
“That was a long time ago,” Maria said.
“Hmm, what a pity Stella. Her husband died and she became depressed and her body grew thinner. Steve had taken care of him for 1 year, but still could not return it as before,” said Chris.
You don't have parents like me either. But you still have a good Uncle who deals blood with you, while I? My uncle wanted so badly to kill me, to cut me out of this world.
