Chapter 199

But ever since she met Brian, everything had changed.

Grace started biting her arm again. Strawberry seemed to be able to feel her pain while it was in her arms. It cried out anxiously, trying to wake her up..

At that moment, her phone rang. Strawberry glanced at the phone and then at Grace. It kept barking at her loudly.

Strawberry’s barks finally woke her up.

She glanced at her phone and sniffed before answering. “Justin.”

“What took you so long?”

Grace looked down and said, “I was… cooking just now.”

“It’s so late. Why haven’t you eaten yet?”

Grace took a look at the time. It was already eight in the evening. She nodded and said, “Strawberry wanted to go out to play, so I went for a while longer.”

“Don’t go home so late any longer. It’s not safe. Have your meal first.”

“Okay.”

Grace hung up the phone. She looked at her bleeding arm and took a deep breath. Was her depression acting up again?

She closed her eyes and told herself over and over again that she couldn’t be like this. She had to stay strong even though she was having a tough time.

She treated the wound briefly and stroked Strawberry’s head, looking into its eyes. “Strawberry, I’m scared. Can you sleep with me in the bedroom tonight?”

Strawberry barked twice.

She pulled the kennel into her room, set it in front of the bed, and turned on her phone to play music.

Strawberry obediently nestled in its kennel. As if it was worried about her, it ne at her.

‘ its head on the edge and looked Grace closed her eyes. The music gradually calmed her down. After a long time, sleepiness gradually overwhelmed. her before she fell asleep.

Grace did not sleep well. She kept dreaming the entire night. When she woke up the next day, she still felt feeble as if she had not slept the entire night.

She still did not dare to go out. As soon as she reached the door, she was on tenterhooks. She was afraid that if she went out, someone would enter the house again.

Strawberry was guarding the door, It looked like it wanted to go out to pee.

Grace taught to pee in the bathroom. After Strawberry finished peeing, it wandered around the living room to Dreame entertain itself for a while before running to the door and guarding eagerly.

Grace sighed and glanced at the time. After some thought, she called Adam and asked him to help her walk the dog.

Adam came over after work. He led Strawberry and went out for a walk.

Grace wanted to pay Adam for his help, but he refused no matter what. In the end, she could only let him stay for a meal.

For a week. Grace did not go out. She bought groceries online every day.

There was a knock on the door. Grace looked through the peephole and saw that the person outside was wearing a mask, carrying groceries, and wearing a take–out delivery uniform. Only then did she open the door.

The delivery man handed her the delivery. “Here’s your delivery.”

Grace took it and said, “Thank you.”

Just as she was about to close the door, the delivery man suddenly said, “Can I use your bathroom?”

Grace looked up at him. “Well, sure.”

The delivery man walked in. Grace pointed him to the bathroom and walked into the kitchen with the groceries.

Just as she was putting the vegetables into the fridge, a large gloved hand that smelled of mold suddenly covered her mouth and nose tightly.

Grace widened her eyes and struggled violently. Strawberry barked wildly at the side and bit the delivery man’s leg fiercely.

The man was in pain and shook it violently. Strawberry was thrown against the cupboard and let out a wail.

Grace took the opportunity to pull off the man’s mask.
