I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 200

A frozen heart could be melted by warm blood.

She looked at Caden’s bleeding palm, then her gaze moved to his face. Grace noticed Caden’s hesitation. The warmth in her heart cooled down again.

‘In the end, he hesitated… He did not believe me?’

Grace pursed her lips bitterly.

Gloria, with her face snow-white, untied the ropes around Grace’s hands.

Seeing Gloria’s grey lips, Grace helped hold the former up, and said to Caden,

“Gloria was kicked in the stomach, she was hurt. Let’s go the hospital first, and the wound on your hand.”

As for Sam… She didn’t care about the life or death of this guy.

What Caden didn’t expect was that it was his hesitation just now that pushed this wretched and doubtful woman from him again. He also saw that Gloria looked awful, covering her stomach. Then, he shook off Sam as he heard that Gloria was kicked by Sam. “Can you still walk?” He asked Gloria.

Gloria’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, she bit her teeth and nodded: “Yes, boss.”

Caden nodded, “Grace, go out with her first. I will go drive the car.” With that, he also made a call to Kirk, telling the location: “Come here immediately.” He grabbed the rope that was used to tie Grace up and used it on Sam quickly, tying the latter onto that same chair.

After doing this quick and neat, he patted the dust off his hands and headed toward the gate of the warehouse. Right before he was about to catch up with Grace and Gloria, who were outside.

Suddenly, a group of people scurried to the gate, blocking the exit.

Caden looked at those people, coldness was all he got in his eyes. Without a word, he stared at them warily.

They were obviously here for him. The strong guy in the front stepped forth, standing in a distance about half a meter from Caden:

“Mr. Shaw, our boss said you can’t walk out this warehouse easily.”

“You guys are, his men?” Apparently, Caden knew who those people worked for.

His gazed scanned across the crowd and looked toward Grace and Gloria. The worry in his eyes showed the care under his heart. He glanced at the crowd, which was composed of a dozen of short hair strong guys: “It’s the business between men, no need to implicate the women of the family. Let them go.”

The leading figure stretched out his hand to Caden: “Car key.”

Caden threw the key to the leading person, the latter fetched it indifferently and turned around, shouting: “Hey, catch it.” Grace stretched her hand out to grab the car key. Her gaze flew across the crow and landed on Caden:

“Is it alright for you to be alone?”

Caden showed her a calm smile: “Sure, I will be fine.” After that, he looked at Gloria: “Take her away now.”

This was now a place of conflict. He would not feel relieved as long as she stayed here for one second.

Only when she left this place of conflict, it was real safeness for her.

“Grace, let’s go. We can’t do anything in here but to make troubles for the boss.” Gloria said nervously, urging Grace to get in the car with one hand covering her stomach. Her words touched Grace’s heart… Gloria was right, they would only make more troubles for Caden if they stayed here.

“Stop watching, drive.” After getting into the car, Grace took a deep look at Caden, who was already surrounded by the crowd.

She stepped onto the pedal, “Gloria, I will drive you to the hospital first.”

She didn’t realize that her driving speed was much faster than the other cars on the road.
