In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 495

Her tone instantly made Xander anxious. He was filled with worry. "Gracie, what's wrong? What happened?"

As he spoke, he walked briskly toward the campus gate, abandoning his luggage on the way.

He rushed into campus but couldn't know where to go. Only then did he calm down and ask, "Gracie, tell me, where are you?"

"I'm in the dorm."

"Okay, wait for me there. I'll be right there."

Grace was puzzled. "What do you mean, Xander?"

Xander quickened his pace, but his mood was no longer as jubilant as when he had first arrived. There was only one thought in his mind—Grace was upset.

"Come down. I'm downstairs at your dorm."

In disbelief, Grace lifted the blanket and ran to the window. She pulled the curtains back, letting the sunlight stream into her room after ages. It seemed particularly dazzling at this moment.

These days, she had been languishing in the dorm, so she looked lifeless.

She glanced casually at the flower bed below, and there she saw that familiar figure waving at her. Grace was overjoyed. "Xander, why did you come? Wait for me. I'll come down now."

She grabbed a coat, put on slippers, and happily descended the stairs. She rushed into his arms, feeling the long-lost warmth of being with a loved one.

Her tone was full of joy. "Xander, why did you suddenly come here? You didn't even give me a heads-up."

Xander didn't answer her, but his gaze stayed on her face, carefully examining her.

They hadn't seen each other for a while. She had obviously lost some weight and seemed a bit listless. Even her eyes lacked the usual brilliance.
