In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 661

"Did you go abroad?" Shawn asked after a moment.

He must have seen her video. "Yep. I was visiting family."

"Your relationship with Mr. Fulton is going very well."

It was a statement.

Grace's voice was full of love as she said, "We're pretty stable right now. Don't envy me, Mr. Griffin. You'll have the same thing in future."

She thought he was envious of her. On the other end of the phone, his lips curved without thinking. "I'm fine."

"No one can be fine. Everyone yearns to be loved. Don't be anxious. That person will appear one day."

She thought she was comforting him, but it made Shawn moody. He picked up the purple clay teapot. "What if she never appears?"

"Hmm… Then, I'll introduce someone to you. I don't have much, but I do have a lot of girlfriends."

Shawn laughed again. He was about to speak, but then he heard her cry out in pain.

He said anxiously, "What's the matter?"

"I missed a step while I was going upstairs and fell." Grace inhaled sharply and looked down. Her ankle was swelling up rapidly.

"Is anyone at home? Are you alright?"

Grace did not like having too many housekeepers at home. They usually came to cook and clean during the day, and they all went home at night.

Shawn noticed that she was silent. There was the sound of something dropping on his end. "Give me the address. I'll come and take you to the hospital."

"No! You don't need to go through the trouble. I can just put some ointment on it."

Grace hurriedly stopped him. She tried to get up to go back to her room, but she couldn't move at all.

The pain in her ankle was piercing. She had probably sprained it.

"Can you move?"

Grace remained silent.

Shawn had already started the engine. "You can't move around if you've sprained your ankle. It'll swell up even more. If you don't want to go to the hospital, I'll bring some medicine over. It's really good for sprains."

He spoke calmly, and it helped her to calm down.

Since he had already started off, Grace could not refuse further.
