Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 375

Ed grabbed Grace's hand and rubbed his cheek softly against her palm. "If only you really forgave me," he mumbled.

Grace helped him up with a furrowed brow. "Ed, your fever is too high. Let me send you to the hospital."

She was worried his fever would fry his brain since he was already talking nonsense.

He leaned into her arms. "I'm not going to the hospital. Grace, this is the 33rd time."

"What?"

She didn't understand his words and became even more worried by the minute. She placed her hand on his forehead to check his temperature again, scared that the fever had made him delirious.

He suddenly grabbed her hand and held it in a tight fist. He placed her hand on his cheek. "It's the number of times you want to kill me."

Grace trembled slightly, and she suddenly smiled. "The fever has gotten the better of you. Go and get some sleep. We need to go to the hospital if you still have a fever after you wake up."

Whether he was willing to let her see his face—he wouldn't have a say by then.

Ed was quiet for a few minutes, finally realizing he wasn't dreaming.

Every time he felt his worst, he would always dream of Grace opening that door and walking into the room. He had dreamed of this so many times that he couldn't differentiate reality from dream.

He closed his eyes as his Adam's apple bobbed. He then said with a hoarse voice, "I'm fine. I was just dreaming."

Grace grabbed a pillow from the side and forced Ed to lie down. "Get some rest."

His hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her down to lay with him. "Let's rest together."

The couch was wide enough for Grace to lay beside him. She could even feel the blazing heat radiating from his body.

She couldn't sleep as her mind was filled with Anthony's words. Her hand wandered down, touching the red bead bracelet he was wearing and the ring she gave him.

Ed moved closer to her, embracing her completely in his arms. He sighed and drifted into sleep like that.
