Chapter 243
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 243<\/p>\n
Opening her eyes, Grace noticed that the room was covered in white.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you awake?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIngemar?\u201d<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes again, trying to adapt to the bright sunlight outside the window. She did not ask why she was in the hospital.<\/p>\n
Her memories were broken. Now that she woke up, she started to remember bit by bit.<\/p>\n
She remembered that it was Mrs. James.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is she?\u201d she asked slowly.<\/p>\n
\u201cCaden is not here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean Mrs. James.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Ingemar was instantly enraged.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo you, Caden is not so important as Mrs. James, right?\u201d he sneered, \u201cGrace, have you ever loved him?\u201d<\/p>\n
If she had, why was she so indifferent?<\/p>\n
When Grace heard this, she couldn\u2019t help but feel absurd.<\/p>\n
She sized Ingemar up carefully.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you staring at me?\u201d Ingemar was enraged at her gaze. What did that look mean?<\/p>\n
He did not find his words ridiculous.<\/p>\n
The woman on the bed withdrew her gaze and looked out of the window.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m talking to you! Can\u2019t you hear me?\u201d Ingemar was unreasonably impatient. Why was she… Why was she so indifferent?<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t tell why on earth he was unhappy about Grace.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, he was inexplicably irritated.<\/p>\n
But he suddenly noticed that the woman on the bed was extremely quiet. He was suddenly shocked. He only felt that her world was wrapped in a glass cover. There seemed to be an invisible layer in the air, isolating everything from her.<\/p>\n
In her world, the people outside had no way in.<\/p>\n
A person inside didn\u2019t want to come out, either.<\/p>\n
As a result, such a strange and contradictory scene appeared.<\/p>\n
Grace quietly looked out of the window, when Ingemar looked at her in a daze.<\/p>\n
Finally, he sighed. He gave in. Whoever wanted to compete with this woman in terms of endurance and calmness would have no chance of winning.<\/p>\n
He asked her first,<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know how long you\u2019ve been unconscious?\u201d<\/p>\n
He picked up an apple, peeled it, and said,<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the third day.<\/p>\n
It should not be a big problem. You should have become sober a long time ago. I don\u2019t know why I couldn\u2019t wake you up. Perhaps, you\u2019re too tired, aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
Caden was here with you in the hospital for two days. He received a phone call last night and hastily borrowed Lord Fifth Master Lo\u2019s private plane, leaving for S City overnight in a hurry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fifth Master Lo, Grace has heard of this name before. He was the local great gentry with a bad temper. He was not an easy-going person.<\/p>\n
Caden actually borrowed a private plane from Fifth Master Lo\u2026 Grace frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed through her calm eyes.<\/p>\n
Seeing that she was indifferent, Ingemar was so angry that he wanted to throw away the apple in his hand. Did she understand or not that Caden was in big trouble?!<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you worried about him?<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t you care about his safety\u201d Ingemar put down the apple and stared at Grace. He didn\u2019t want to miss the subtle change of expression on her face at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Shaw Group.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sentence was like a thunder in ears!<\/p>\n
Grace lay on the bed. Her calm eyes were not filled with great shock!<\/p>\n
Was the Shaw Group going to change its owner? It was his behemoth.<\/p>\n
Was the Shaw Group about to collapse? It was his empire.<\/p>\n
The Shaw Group was all his effort!<\/p>\n
Unknowingly, she tightened her grip on the sheets.<\/p>\n
Ingemar keenly sensed the fluctuations of her emotions. He couldn\u2019t help but let out a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
If she really didn\u2019t care about Caden anymore, Ingemar would love to make her \u201caccidentally die\u201d at all costs.<\/p>\n
It was true that she had suffered a lot, but Ingemar was never a good man anyway. It was true that everything was unfair to her. But if nothing could save Caden except for her death, he would not hesitate to do it.<\/p>\n
After all, he favored Caden more.<\/p>\n
No matter how good Grace was, he just didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
No matter how bad Caden was, he still believed that Caden was perfect.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been several years since you left, and Caden has been looking for you like a mad man.<\/p>\n
He said that even if he was old and dead, he would never give up looking for you. He would travel through all the corners of the world, just for you.<\/p>\n
He worked day and night, and his career continued to expand.<\/p>\n
He has spent all his spare time searching for you. All over the world.<\/p>\n
Grace, he misses you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace was irritated for no reason and became angry with Ingemar, saying,<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you telling me about this?! What does it matter to me?<\/p>\n
It sounds like Caden has deep feelings for me,<\/p>\n
but I only beg him to let me go.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t owe each other after departing. This is the best ending between me and him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIngemar, physical wounds will be cured, but as for the cut in my heart, even if it is secured, there will be some traces left.\u201d<\/p>\n
She showed a smile which was uglier than a crying face and said,<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can I face him like normal, pretending that nothing has happened?!\u201d<\/p>\n
At this moment, Ingemar was speechless facing this interrogation. His sophistry and bias were so pale and powerless when he saw Grace\u2019s eyes being filled with pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow am I supposed to face him?<\/p>\n
How can I forgive him?<\/p>\n
How can I be together with him?<\/p>\n
How can I\u2026 trust him any more?!\u201d Grace said to herself.<\/p>\n
Who knew what tricks that man wanted to play again? He said that he hated her. He questioned, \u201cwhy aren\u2019t you dead?\u201d He said that she didn\u2019t deserve to live, and that even if she lived, she should atone for Wallis for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n
Well, she was still alive. That was true.<\/p>\n
However, she was too tired to support the love. She was exhausted to hate him.<\/p>\n
But between her and Caden, things remained complicated. They were all entangled together, like a chaotic mess that could not be untied.<\/p>\n
What she had yearned for had become what she was afraid.<\/p>\n
Grace closed her eyes on the bed\u2026 She smiled bitterly. \u201cLeona, there is no paradise in the world. Erhai Lake is not safe, either,\u201d she said to herself.<\/p>\n
S City.<\/p>\n
Caden returned at night. He had not slept for a long time. He opened his eyes, which were already scarlet red. Cold and exhausted, he found Master Shaw playing chess at the old mansion of the Shaw Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you doing this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Apart from those bloodshot eyes, he looked calm and indifferent. He landed his gaze on the old man, who was not far away from him.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t even give a glance at the man playing chess with Master Shaw. He knew that it was Kern, who had been fighting with him in the lodgings by Erhai Lake a few days ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t love your career. Rather, you love beauties. Why should I leave the Shaw Group to you? You are not my only grandson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caden didn\u2019t go angry. He seemed to be weighing Master Shaw\u2019s words as he watched him playing chess.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever you like,\u201d Caden said nonchalantly after a while. His gaze landed on Master Shaw. His tone was indescribably cold and indifferent as he said,<\/p>\n
\u201cGive it a try. We\u2019ll see if you could take the Shaw Group away from me.\u201d<\/p>\n
He had been working day and night all these years to expand his career. Only in this way could he fill the void in his heart. Nevertheless, all his career was inferior to Grace.<\/p>\n
However, it was better than nothing.<\/p>\n
It was just that he had forgotten to be cautious about the enemies behind his back after expanding the frontline.<\/p>\n
Looking at Master Shaw, Caden turned around and left. He didn\u2019t even look back\u2026He never expected that his own grandfather would make such a trouble to him.<\/p>\n
As for what Kern wanted, he wouldn\u2019t give it to him anyway.<\/p>\n
Neither the Shaw Group, nor Grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1448","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1448","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=1448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
