Chapter 230

More tears trickled down Grace’s face. Even if she tried, she couldn’t stop them at all.

She held his hand and shouted at him, “Don’t you dare die on me! Because if you do, I will immediately find another man to marry! You will regret it for the rest of your after life!”

Eder’s bl oody lips curved into a miserable smile.

“No way. You’re mine…”

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his response and quickly looked at the medical staff on both sides. “I’m already here. Send him in. Quick!”

Eder still held her hand and refused to let go. “Grace, listen to my explanation, okay?”

“Your treatment is more important right now. I’ll be right outside. I’ll listen to your explanation after you’re healed.”

Eder’s face was already so pale from losing a lot of blood.

But he still stubbornly held onto her hand. He wanted to memorize her face in case he would die on the operating table.

Grace felt distressed so she could only forcefully remove his hand and watch him be pushed into the emergency room.

While the operating light was turned on, Grace sat outside waiting with dull eyes and tears still staining her cheeks.

This was the first time that she had shed tears in front of so many people but she didn’t care. All that mattered to her right now was that Eder must survive.

After waiting for three hours until nine o’clock in the evening, Eder still hadn’t come out.

Eric dismissed his fellow brothers from the army and sat down in the waiting seat opposite Grace with a heavy expression.

He seemed to think for a long time before he saying:

“After all those months since the incident in that warehouse, I understand that you must thought that he lied to you and planned all of it from the start. However, it’s not the case. He really went with the determination to die. He had never expected to survive. If my fellow brothers hadn’t arrived in time, he would have really died in the sea of fire.”

Grace slowly raised her gaze to meet his

Eric continued with a heavy heart: “As for why he didn’t return to your site, it was because the Grant family was in chaos during that time and he had to go ta them first. And although he was lucky enough to survive, he also suffered extensive burns on his face and body. His legs also got fractured in le fight.

His internal body wasn’t any better…’

His eyes Пashed slightly and left out the part that there was still a biochemical virus in his boss’ body.

The reason why Ider did not return to Frant City wasn’t just because of the Grant family. It was also because of the virus in his body. The daciar was having trouble in finding a com cure even until

now. He had to go to the laboratory every three days. Ils life was barely hanging on in general.

However, Eder had given an order to never tell Grace about II.

Eric scapped out of his thoughts and continued, “Ms. Grace, please realize how willing he is to give his life for you. I le’s been nothing but sincere that he’s almost becoming the fool in your relationship. It wasn’t that he wanted to forget about you when he pretended like he didn’t know.

you. He was only afraid that you would hate him even more. He was afraid of losing you forever. He’s suffering too much for this relationship.”

Grace lowered her head guiltily.

She couldn’t get the picture of Eder covered in blood out of her mind. She could still see him even when she closed her eyes.

Yet this wasn’t the first time this happened to him. The incident half a year ago must have hurt him

even more than now.

And all she did was blame him, hold the past against him, and even whipped him….

Grace felt like a knife had been plunged through her heart and the pain was so unbearable that she could barely breathe.

“I’m sorry…”

Apart from apologizing, she didn’t know how else to compensate him.

“What he needs is not an apology. He’d be happier if you showed him that you care.”

Eric watched her sad face and sighed again. “Ms. Grace, he doesn’t owe you anything, but after finding out about your state during the months he left, he blamed himself very much and wanted to make up for it. However, although you suffered, we can’t ignore the fact that he also suffered.”

“After you left yesterday, he planned to apologize to you when he returns from the mission. But we didn’t expected that you would ask Mr. Grant to break off the engagement. He got distracted by the news and got shot.”

Grace paused and frowned. “I did ask Mr. Grant to break it off, but he did not agree so I planned to discuss it with Eder. Where did you hear this news from?”

Eric blinked at what she said. They glanced at each other and had a mutual understanding that something was wrong so Eric immediately sent someone to investigate.

Thirty minutes later.

The atmosphere at the entrance of the emergency room was dark.

“It’s from Mr. Xian of the Grant family’s second son

Grace’s expression hardened. She asked, “Xian? How is Eder’s relationship with him?”

“Not so good,” Eric replied. “The strife in the Grant family happened because of them. Mr. Storm was three days late with his return so they almost managed to gain the company. It took nearly half a month and longer for Mr. Storm to fix everything

Grace pursed her lips and lowered her gaze,

deeper

As she fell her thoughts, her eyes became colder and colder. After a minute, she asked in a deep voice, “Is there a way to enter the Grant family’s house without being seen by their surveillance?”

Eric was stunned. “Ms. Grace, do you want to…?”

Grace pressed her lips in a tight line.

“I’ll help Eder collect some debt.”

Eleven in the evening

The faint sound of flowing water echoed in an elegant bedroom.

Xian came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe as he wiped his hair with a towel.

Just as he approached the bed, the retro chandelier in the room, suddenly flickered on and off. The curtains were bring rustled by the wind and a certain gloomy aura surrounded his bedroom.

Sensing that something was off, he put on his golden-rimmed glasses.

At some point, a woman sat on the side of his bed.

Her slender legs laid sla nted against the bed frame, her hands were folded, and she carried an icy temperament. The picture was very enchanting.

Xian had to admit that Eder’s little fiancee was indeed very beautiful. It kinda tempted him.

He smiled politely. “When did Ms. Smith come in? It doesn’t seem wise to not use the front door and instead use the window to enter my room late at night, does it?”

Grace did not say anything but stared at him sharply.

But this was Xian’s house. He had a bunch of bodyguards, and Grace was just a woman. He wasn’t afraid of her. Instead, he wanted to tease her. The corner of his mouth raised.

“Or…is it that you have a crush on me? Planning to cheat on my cousin?”

Grace frowned. She suddenly stood up and in a flash, she was already in front of Xian, pointing a knife at his neck.

Xian didn’t have the time to react. The knife had already pressed against his throat, and even if he still wanted to resist, he found that he had no strength to fight back. He started seeing black dots before falling to the ground.

Grace looked down on him. “Look at you. You’re weaker than expected. What a mult.”

It felt like an eternity had passed when Xian woke up again.

He was already tied to an office chair and his mouth was gagged with a towel.

Grace leaned on the table and casually played with a dagger.

The silver light of the dagger illuminated her enchanting yet vicious little face.

She looked like a woman who was not meant to be messed with!

Immediately, Xian felt goosebumps popping on his skin. He began shouting out for help./

“It’s useless. Your bodyguards were already knocked out by my people, and it’s late at night. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you.”

As Eder’s cousin, Xian also had elegant features and a gentle appearance. His hair was wet and he was still wrapped in a bath towel even while tied up.

Eric, who Wing this scene outside the window, also heard Grace’s mischievous tone and couldn’t help but wonder, This is so weird.”

Why did it seem like she was just about to take advantage of a good little boy?

Could it be that she had taken a fancy with Xian and was not planning to beat him like intended?

If the boss found out, he would be so angry that he would immediately crawl off the operating table!
