Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 216 Chapter 216 Grace's knees were covered in blood from kneeling, but that still couldn't compare to the anxiety in her heart. She kept glancing in Jordan's direction, and only after seeing him go back upstairs again did she finally take out her phone to reply to Ed's message. "Is it serious? Have you taken any medication?" she asked. Jordan pushed open the door to Ethan's room with a very stern expression.

"Ethan, you're going to stay hand rest up properly this time." Ethan leaned against the bed and simply replied with a hum. Jordan had always known this son wasn't a man of many I words, and there was nothing Jordan could do about it. don't want something like this happening again. Or else, kneeling downstairs will be the least of what Grace has to go through." Upon hearing that Grace was kneeling, Ethan's hands clenched slowly on the bedsheet, but his face barely showed any reaction.

Seeing that Ethan remained unmoved, Jordan let out a sigh of relief, "Your condition seems to have improved lately, so I guess she's somewhat effective after all. I even thought she was trying to trickbefore. Get srest at home." "Mm." Ethan lowered his gaze, seemingly tired already. Jordan got the hint, stood up, and left Palm Bay straight away. It had just started drizzling outside.

Just as Grace thought she would be kneeling there until sunrise, the glass door to the courtyard was suddenly swung open. Ethan had a coat draped over him, standing not too far away from her. Grace's eyes instantly lit up. She got up ina hurry and wanted to walk over to him. But she rose too quickly. Just halfway up, she crashed back down, anda sharp stone directly jabbed into her knee. Ethan's pupils constricted briefly. He instinctively wanted to go over to her, but he heard her say, "Mr.

Henderson, don't- it's cold outside. You stay right there, I'll be there ina moment." Gritting her teeth, she dug the stone out of her flesh. In less than ten seconds, she made her way to him. Her face was pale, but she still looked full of spirit. Ethan's hand, hanging by his side, trembled slightly. Grace noticed his lips make a subtle twitch twice, as if he wanted to say something. She stood there earnestly, wanting to hear what he had to say. But all he said was, "Grace." ---- Grace was a bit confused, but still let out a faint smile. "Thank goodness, you're fine. You scared the crap out of me. "Tf anything ever happened to you because of me, I would never forgive myself. Oh, yeah-are you hungry? I can make you something to eat." Everything Ethan wanted to say suddenly got stuck. He lowered his gaze, slowly inhaled, and said, "Yeah." Grace helped him to the couch.

As she was just about to head to the kitchen, Ethan grabbed her by her wrist. He had a complicated look in his eyes, like they were veiled in heavy fog. "Take a seat. Let's treat your wound first." She could still fight through the pain and tried to wave it off." I'm fine-" But before she could finish her sentence, he had already pressed her down firmly against the couch. Grace sat on the couch as her pant legs were soon quickly rolled up to her thigh, revealing her bloodstained knees.

Ethan asked someone to bring him the first-aid kit. He rolled up his sleeves, intending to sterilize her wounds himself. Grace suddenly thought of something and pulled her feet back. "Tean do it myself," she said. Grace quickly snatched the disinfectant spray from his hand, aimed at her wounds, and sprayed her knees twice. Then she bent down, grabbed sstyptic ointment from the first-aid ---- kit, randomly smeared it on, and rolled her pant legs back down.

Ethan's hands froze mid-air with his fingers curling briefly, then he quietly sat back on the couch. Grace just noticed that Ed had left a small bite mark on her calf, and it hadn't faded yet. If Ethan saw it, he probably would have asked her about her boyfriend. On top of that, being seen like this by her superior just felt weird. Ethan sat next to her in silence, and Grace had no idea what to say either.

As Grace was about to get up and prepare a meal for Ethan, she heard him say, "You should head back." She paused for a moment. How could she head back home? Ethan's physical weakness was now entirely because of her. "T'll make you something to eat," she insisted. She was unsure what was on his mind, only that he kept fiddling with his sleeves. "No need. Thank you," he replied. He turned into the cold and distant Ethan again. Grace was a little baffled, but she didn't dare question him.

She could only awkwardly walk to the entryway to change her shoes and decided to head home. She was truly remorseful toward Ethan. Even though he held ---- - such a high status, his upbringing was impeccable. He didn't even get mad at her for what she had done to him. The more she thought about it, the more guilt consumed her. The fact that she had a deal with Levi made her feel even worse. She kept lingering around the entryway for ten minutes, unable to bring herself to actually leave.

Ethan was sitting on the couch with his back facing her. It was like the two of them were locked in a silent tug-of- war. Grace gave in eventually. She put her slippers back on and walked over to him. "Mr. Henderson, I heard from Mr. Bennett that you'll be resting at hfor the rest of this week. I want to cby every day to cook you something, as a way of making up for you." "Not going to see your boyfriend?" he asked.

She didn't expect Ethan to know that she was ina hurry to visit her boyfriend, suddenly feeling a bit of embarrassment. "T'll go later As soon as she said that, she saw Ethan lift his head and glance at her. "You don't really love him that much." She immediately blushed when he said that. It was the kind of embarrassment that comes when someone bluntly points out the truth. Truth be told, she didn't exactly love Ed yet-she just liked him.

Maybe the timing when Ed showed up in her life was just ---- right, especially at a twhen she lost all ver m her memories. He appeared as an obedient secret admoire of Grace, never asking for much. His traits had definitely struck a chord in her heart. She didn't know what type of guys she used to like, but right now, she was certain that she was somewhat fond of Ed. As for love... she wasn't ready to talk about that yet. It was too heavy, too much to bear. The atmosphere suddenly becawkward.

Ethan abruptly got up and went upstairs quietly, not leaving a single word behind. Grace wasn't sure if she should leave or stay. She them pulled out her phone and opened her chat with Ed. He hadn't responded yet. Did the pain from his sickness knock him out or something? She sent another message. "How are you feeling now? I'll cto see you. Just sendan address." There was still no response from him. The will be updated first on this website. Cback and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
