In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 304

On the day Grace was discharged, Xander gave her a large bouquet.

"Gracie, I hope you stay healthy and happy every day from now on."

Grace accepted it with a smile. "Thank you, Xander!"

Caleb also walked over with a smiling face, his gaze lingering on the two.

"I must say, Gracie, you scared us this time. You don't know how bad the situation was that day. It's all thanks to Xander. He found Dr. Henry, who brought you back from the brink of death. We need to thank him."

At the mention of Henry, Caleb realized that he had disappeared since Grace's surgery.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Dr. Henry? Why haven't we seen him?"

Xander explained, "He went on vacation. He's always hard to find. Don't worry about him."

"Anyway, he's my lifesaver, so we must thank him properly someday," Grace said earnestly.

Xander nodded. "I'll arrange a meeting next time."

They left the hospital room. A few moments later, they stopped in their tracks.

They saw Benjamin standing up slowly, not far away. His gaze was fixed on Grace.

After a few days of not seeing each other, he looked worn out, but his eyes were sharp and lively.

Caleb was about to say something when Xander stopped him. "Gracie, we'll wait for you outside."

Grace didn't say anything until they left.

Then, Benjamin spoke, "Are you okay?"

Grace smiled lightly and said calmly, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hawkins."

"Mr. Hawkins, I don't understand. Why are you so persistent? Nothing will happen between us again. Just accept it and let go!"

"Grace, can't you—"

Grace shook her head, and he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

"Mr. Hawkins, fate brought us together, and fate tore us apart! Stop talking about our relationship from now on."

She had said what needed to be said. She walked away heartlessly, leaving him to watch as she left.

Benjamin felt a sense of defeat for the first time in more than 20 years.

He wondered what he should do with Grace.

As Grace walked out of the hospital, she saw Caleb and Xander waiting for her outside.
