Chapter 310
The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife
The entire room fell silent upon hearing these words, Seemingly. Eric sighed quietly.
Grace couldnât understand and sat down beside Eder, asking, âWhy? The deterioration syndrome has troubled you for so long. Donât you want to treat these complications and live a normal life as soon as possible?â
Eder didnât want to explain; instead, his hand held her small and tightly, his expression resolute.
Observing his expression. Grace understood something right away and asked Eric and Mark to leave.
âI have something to discuss privately with Edren. Step out, close the door, but donât go too far,â she instructed.
Eric and Mark understood and left the room.
Once the room was quiet, Grace asked, âDid you capture Nick? Has he told you everything?â
âYes.â Eder did not lie..
Grace sighed; indeed, nothing could escape Ederâs notice. Despite his illness, his mind was still sharp and not easily deceived.
Grace held his hand in hers and said. âDonât believe him. Iâ¦ââ
âHis condition is for you to divorce me and marry him, isnât it?â Eder interrupted her, his tone cold.
âEder, you know Nickâ¦.
Furrowing his brows, Eder interrupted again, âJust answer me: is what Grace choked and lowered her head, sighing once more, âItâs true.â
*id true?â
Ider also lowered his head, concealing resentment and murderous intent in his eyes. âIf I have to sacrifice your future happiness to regain my health, I would rather die!â
Grace immediately covered his mouth and scolded in a low voice, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Donât mention the word âdeathâ again!â
He held her hand tightly, gripping her palm with seriousness and solemnity.
âGrace, if the price of staying alive is losing you and watching you marry that scum, Nick, I would truly rather he dead!â
Grace crouched down beside him, smiling to reassure him, âEder, being alive is more important than anything else. Letâs focus on treating the illness with medicine first, and we can figure out the rest later, okay?â
Eder shook his head. He would not compromise at all on this matter.
âI will never inject Nickâs medicine, never!â
âEderâ¦â
Ider didnât want to listen anymore. He withdrew his hand from hers and turned his head away, his stern face indicating that there was no room for discussion!
Grace knew how stubborn he could be. Once he made up his mind, not even ten horses could change his decision.
She decided to stop persunding him altogether, stood up, and looked at him with a hint of apology. âIâm sorry, I brought you to the lab today without discussing this matter. If youâre unwilling, I can.
The Pillen Tx wie only enforce it.â
âGrace!â Eder anticipated what she was about to do and grabbed her wrist.
She took two steps back to avoid him.
She turned her head and called outside the door. âEric, come in.â
The door opened quickly, and Eric poked his head in, his face filled with surprise. âMiss Grace, have you convinced the master so quickly?â
Grace didnât answer. She just pointed at Eder and said, âHold him down donât let him move.â
âGrace!â Ederâs face turned cold, calling out to her again.
Eric froze on the spot, clinging to the door, hesitant to enter. âD did I hear correctly? Are you going to use force?â
Grace took a deep breath, firm in her attitude. âYou heard correctly; hold him down.â
Eric, with a nervous heart, stepped into the room but was frozen in place by Ederâs stern gaze.
âHow dare you!â Eder stared at him, gritting his teeth with a sinister expression. âDonât forget whose person you are and who you should listen to!â
âBoss, Iâ¦â Eric swallowed hard, never imagining that one day he would make such a choice. âThis medicine is beneficial for your condition, boss. Just listen to Miss Grace!â
Eder remained stubborn, unwilling to yield. âItâs impossible! Let me ask you again, who should you listen to?â
âHe should listen to me.â Grace answered on Ericâs behalf, raising an eyebrow and curling her lips. with a playful and domineering smile. âYou are my man, so naturally, your subordinates should listen to me first!â
Eder: ââ¦â
Women and their illogical reasoning!
Grace looked at Eric. âDonât be afraid; Iâm here. He wonât be able to harm you. Do it now.â
With her assurance, Eric felt relieved and confidently approached Eder.
Ederâs whole body turned cold, and he kicked Eric in the face.
He covered his leg in pain, unable to dodge. âOuch! Miss Grace, he hit me!â
âYou little brat, do you dare complain in front of me?â Eder was furious, his eyes filled with a murderous gaze.
Eric retreated in fear and sought refuge at Graceâs side.
Grace sighed and had no choice but to ask for a rope from Mark. She personally tied Ederâs feet.
Eric immediately approached and held Ederâs hands, calling Mark to come in and administer the injection. Despite being restricted, Eder exuded a chilling aura that frightened Mark, who dared not approach.
â11l do it,â Grace said, reaching out her hand.
Mark breathed a sigh of relief and handed her the syringe.
Eder raised his head to meet her gaze. âGrace, donât force me.â
Bending down, Grace gently kissed his thin lips, coaxing him tenderly, âTil be gentle and try not to cause you any pain. This time, weâll remove the complications in your body, and next time, weâll cure the virus in you.â
âGraceâ¦â
âDonât you long for a future where we can live an ordinary coupleâs life? Maybe weâll even have a lively and adorable baby. Our future will become incredibly beautiful starting from the moment we cure you.â
Their eyes locked.
Eder listened attentively as she spoke, captivated by her clear and bright eyes. Taking advantage of his focus on her words, Grace carefully injected the needle into his jugular vein, carefully pushing the medication into his body, Within seconds, the drug took effect.
Ederâs body went limp, his eyelids heavy, and his black iris weak and powerless. He was overwhelmed by drowsiness.
âDoctor, whatâs happening?â Grace asked.
Mark immediately checked Ederâs condition. âItâs normal. This blue medication causes fatigue right after injection. He will feel better after some rest.â
Grace and Eric both breathed a sigh of relief. Eric settled Eder on the hospital bed and, along with Mark, tactfully left the room.
Once everyone had left, Grace took off her shoes and lay down on the bed, cradling Eder in her arms and letting him fall asleep in her embrace. As she caressed his face, her gaze shifted to the banana tree outside the window, and she softly spoke:
âDo you know when I started to fall in love with you, Eder?â
Eder, feeling sluggish, shook his head lightly.
âIt was the day I was brought into the Fallen family by your grandfather. You smiled at me, and ever since then, I couldnât help but be infatuated with you. â¦â
Her sweet and gentle voice entered his ears, causing Ederâs lips to unconsciously curl upwards as he followed her words, reminiscing about the past.
The wind rustled the banana leaves outside the window.
Eder, mustering his weakening spirit, asked, âGrace, will you really divorce our marriage and marry Ningâ¦
Before he could finish his question, his eyelids slowly closed, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Grace continued to gaze outside the window, her eyes filled with indeterminate emotions. âSleep well.
When you wake up, everything will be fine. Our future days will only get better and better.â
