I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 286

A man suddenly broke into Grace’s office.

Grace was conferring with Cayne in her office.

...

The man rushed in with a breeze, followed by the secretary, “Sir, you can’t go in! Ms. Grace is meeting guests.”

Grace and Cayne heard the sound and turned to look at the door.

When Grace saw the person, she slightly pursed her lips.

“Sorry, Ms. Grace. I cannot stop him …” The secretary explained guiltily.

“Why are you here?” Grace asked indifferently at the man.

“Why can’t I come?” The man was pale and the dark circles were heavy. “And also,” he shouted angrily at the secretary, “Take a good look at who I am!” The secretary was frightened and trembled, “I, I’m sorry …”

Grace frowned and nodded to the secretary, “You can leave.” The secretary panted and left. Grace glanced at the man and paused for a moment, “Wait a moment.”

“Ms. Grace?”

The secretary was a college student who had just graduated this year. She cherished the chance to work in such a large group. But today, she did not stop this stranger from intruding. She was afraid that the boss would punish her. She was scared.

Grace knew what the secretary was worried about, “Bring a glass of water.”

“Yes, Ms. Grace.”

The secretary was about to leave.

Grace continued, “Also, don’t be so nervous. I won’t fire you just because you let my brother in.”

The secretary was dumbfounded. Five seconds later, she almost screamed out. Ms. Grace’s brother?

She subconsciously looked at the sickly man and was scared out of the office by his gloomy stare.

Payne looked terrible.

Grace stood up and asked, “Why aren’t you recuperating in the hospital?”

“Recuperate?” Payne sneered, “I will die there.”

Hearing this, Grace raised her eyebrows slightly. She then said warmly, “The hospital can save you.”

Payne gritted his teeth and glared at Grace angrily, “You know why I’m here. The hospital can’t save me.”

“If even the doctors can’t save you, it’s futile for you to come here.”

Grace said coldly.

Payne looked at her, his eyes filled with anger and a trace of determination, “Are you really going to watch me die?”

Payne didn’t want to wait any longer. During the chemotherapy, his hair fell out in clumps. He used to hate wearing hats, but now he had to do it.

And he couldn’t live without those drugs.

Payne did not want to live like a ghost. He was afraid to go to bed every night for fear that he would sleep forever.

He hated the injustice of fate.

Why did he get this kind of disease! Why him!

Grace swept across Cayne who was sitting across the desk.

She didn’t want to discuss this in front of outsiders.
