In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 601

"Have you two been together for a long time?" the medical staff asked.

Grace wanted to say no, but Xander held her hand and nodded. "Yes."

His answer made her heart skip a beat.

After getting his wounds bandaged, Xander left to give the police his statement. Grace waited in the lobby of the police station, Xander's coat still on her.

"Samuel vanished after the incident. He's likely involved," reported Luke.

Grace massaged her temples. "I can probably guess why."

"Mr. Fulton ordered the news to be suppressed. Word won't get out."

"What about my family?"

"We tried to keep it from them, lest they worry. But Caleb was around and found out about it."

Just as Luke explained the situation, two figures rushed into the police station. The one in the lead had a mask on, and he called out, "Gracie!"

To their surprise, it was Caleb. Caleb grabbed a staff member and demanded, "Where's Grace? I'm looking for Grace!"

Grace spoke up weakly, "Caleb, I'm over here."

Caleb immediately turned to look in her direction. At the sight of her battered appearance, his brows furrowed in distress. "Gracie …"

Then, he crouched in front of her, his eyes teary. "Does it hurt?"

Grace felt like crying as well. "It doesn't hurt, Caleb."

Caleb embraced her tightly and grumbled, "That bastard dared to lay his fingers on my sister. I'm going to kill him. I must make him pay!"

The lobby was bustling with people, and Grace felt somewhat embarrassed. She nudged him and said, "Caleb, we're at the police station. Keep your voice down."

However, Caleb couldn't care less. "I'm going to ask Aaron to annihilate Brodie and his people. None of them will be spared!"

Amused, Grace chuckled. "Are you a gangster?"

"I will never forgive them for hurting you!"

"All right. Don't tell Aaron for now. I don't want them to worry."

"Great. Can you take me to see him? I'd like to thank him in person."

Danzel waved dismissively. "That's not necessary. It's our duty to protect the public."

"I just want to give him my thanks."

"Ms. Lewis, I'm sorry, but please understand." Danzel promptly walked away with his team after that, leaving Grace standing there in a daze.

Caleb came up to her and tightened the coat around her. "What's wrong? Who do you want to meet?"

Grace didn't know exactly who the person was. When she looked up, she happened to see Benjamin exiting the interrogation room with Larry.

The two of them made eye contact.

Caleb also spotted Benjamin, and he couldn't help getting annoyed. "Damn, why is he here too?"

Benjamin didn't take his eyes off Grace. "I want to speak with you."

Grace remained calm. "I figured you would."
