Chapter 92
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 92<\/p>\n
In the hospital<\/p>\n
Humbert helped Grace to find a proper place. \u201cYou’re so lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n
Humbert couldn’t help rolling his eyes, \u201cDo you not understand your current health? You drank alcohol?\u201d<\/p>\n
He stood up, walked away, and slammed the door after saying that.<\/p>\n
While Caden was smoking by himself out there.<\/p>\n
Humbert stretched his hand towards Caden, “Let me have one.”<\/p>\n
Caden took the cigarette box out and threw it to him.<\/p>\n
Humbert lit up a cigarette without any hesitation, \u201cWhat’s the situation?\u201d he took a glance at the door behind him.<\/p>\n
He remembered the first time he saw Grace after getting out of the prison, the originally arrogant Grace knelt in public so she would not have to drink alcohol.<\/p>\n
Caden kept smoking without saying a word.<\/p>\n
Humbert didn’t care about his indifference either.<\/p>\n
After spitting the smoke out, he said, “I heard that you will set her free if she could give you five million in a month?” he flicked the ashes and continued, “Did you set her free?”<\/p>\n
“That’s impossible.” Caden, who had been silent, suddenly answered coldly.<\/p>\n
“…” Humbert opened his mouth in surprise to Caden’s stirred emotion.<\/p>\n
He patted Caden’s shoulder and said, “Hey, have you realized that you’re acting really strange about anything related to her?” Caden twisted his eyebrows and said, “Just get to the point, don’t beat around the bush!”<\/p>\n
“Ahem…\u201d<\/p>\n
You\u2019re the one who told me to get to the point. Humbert once again cleared his throat and said, “I think you care about Grace too much. You’re different than you used to be, bro! You’re such a smart person, haven’t you noticed your abnormalities?”<\/p>\n
He did not believe that Caden was as not aware of his own changes.<\/p>\n
However…<\/p>\n
Thirty seconds later…<\/p>\n
“No way…” Humbert stomped and said, “If you don’t say anything, it means that you think so too. You don’t want to refute it?”<\/p>\n
“Is she okay?” Caden opened his mouth and asked.<\/p>\n
The look in Humbert’s eyes became very strange when it landed on Caden… That guy was silent for a long while and when he finally said something, the first thing he asked was Grace’s condition? How strange… Humbert said that at heart.<\/p>\n
“She is lucky and she did not drink a lot. However, it shouldn’t happen again in the future.”<\/p>\n
He continued, “But the wound on her knee is quite deep.”<\/p>\n
Caden’s gaze turned cold by the window. He put out the cigarette and said “hmm” before entering the ward.<\/p>\n
Humbert wanted to follow him in, but with a “bang”, the ward’s wooden door closed mercilessly in front of him.<\/p>\n
Humbert muttered while rubbing his nose, “What’s the big deal? You just won’t let me in, right? I can go in there tomorrow, and even every day! I’ll consider this ward as my home.”<\/p>\n
He turned around and left, feeling annoyed.<\/p>\n
In the ward.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon’t you have anything to tell me?\u201d Caden stood on one side and looked down at Grace, who was lying on the hospital bed.<\/p>\n
Grace hung her head low, the room was dead silent.<\/p>\n
After waiting for quite some time with no response from Grace, Caden’s anger suddenly ignited.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey told you to kneel and you just knelt? Grace, how many times have your knees knelt for money?\u201d Grace, who wouldn’t accept such lowly treatments… And used to be dazzling, had disappeared!<\/p>\n
The woman on the bed didn’t say a word and that made him angrier!<\/p>\n
“Tell me, if I didn’t show up in time, were you going to drink that bottle of wine?! You underestimated your life!” Caden couldn’t believe that she wanted to trade her life for money. That was not even the first time! It was the same as that one time where she drowned as a performance.<\/p>\n
When did Grace\u2019s life become so cheap!<\/p>\n
Since when did she not take her own life seriously!<\/p>\n
How could she still be so calm?<\/p>\n
He suddenly gritted his teeth and ignored the pain on his heart before gazing faintly at her.<\/p>\n
Grace suddenly sneered, \u201cMr. Shaw, your Wallis is not innocent!\u201d<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cHuh… After it all came to this, you still want to reason about that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The glimpse of hope that clearly was ignited in Grace’s eyes faded… As expected, he didn’t believe her, not at all.<\/p>\n
When explaining looked like concealing something to others… Grace felt that there was no need to explain more.<\/p>\n
She told herself, stop being a fool and stop trying to convince him!<\/p>\n
But she was not satisfied and felt like she had tortured herself until she almost lost her mind.<\/p>\n
She stared at the man on the bedside and sneered like it was her revenge, \u201cWallis, even death is too good for her! Serve her right!\u201d<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a hand raised up high swung towards her face. Grace went pale and instinctively closed her eyes.<\/p>\n
The pain she had expected to come was not felt. With a “bang”, the fist pounded the wall beside her ears.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, what have you become? It’s okay to be humble or embarrassed, I still consider you as Grace. But it’s so disgusting of you to keep humiliating the deceased!”<\/p>\n
With a loud sound, Caden slammed the door and left in disappointment!<\/p>\n
The woman on the hospital bed inside the ward looked like a sculpture, and her face was so calm it was terrifying.<\/p>\n
After a minute, 2 minutes… 5 minutes… 10 minutes!<\/p>\n
Finally!<\/p>\n
\u201cAh!! Ah!!!… Ugh!!!\u201d Wallis died, but what about her? What about her?! What about her!!! Grace couldn’t hold her screams back any longer!<\/p>\n
Caden! Were both your eyes and heart blind? What about me? So I deserved it? Death would be too good for me? Did my face make people feel nauseous? Did I humiliate a dead person? Well, that dead person was not innocent!<\/p>\n
\u201cUgh!! Aargh!!!\u201d monster-like voices came out of her throat.<\/p>\n
She closed her eyes in pain… Caden, meeting you would be the last regret of my life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1297","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
