Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 211

After sending Ethan back, Grace returned home and immediately sent Ed a message.

"Hey, I'm gonna go shopping tomorrow. Can I get you some couple's stuff? Like matching mugs and toothbrushes," she said.

The reply came in instantly, as if Ed already had his phone in his hand.

"Sure."

Maybe he was worried his tone was too cold, so he sent another message.

"I'm happy too."

Grace let out a faint smile. Just as she lay down in her bed, her phone rang. It was a call from Paul.

Taylor had been transferred to Central General Hospital earlier that morning, and his condition was still the same.

"Grace, Maria is still waiting for you," Paul told her.

Grace had been trying to gather some information from the prison for the past two days. But the Lamberts were purely business people after all, and their influence could only reach so far.

She couldn't turn to Selene for help again, either. Selene's relationship with the Jensens was awkward right now.

As for Ethan, Grace was still in the process of atoning to him. She didn't dare to owe him another favor.

After considering all her options, the only person she could think of was Yancey. He had been surprisingly quiet these days.

She gave Yancey a call right away. His voice was hoarse, it sounded like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Grace didn't bother asking further. "Do you have any connections with anyone at Twin Rivers Prison? I want to bring someone in for a visit."

Yancey immediately sat up in bed. His back was soaked with blood, for he had been lying there for hours.

But since Grace rarely called him, he forced himself to hold on.

"Yes, I do. It's easy for someone from the Hendersons to get in, but you'll have to let me come with you."

She agreed and quickly informed Maria.

At 10:00 pm, Yancey's car arrived outside the building where Grace was staying, right on time.

When she got in his car, she noticed that his hands on the steering wheel were weak and trembling.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked.

His lips were visibly pale. "I… Forget it. You'll find out tomorrow."

Grace wasn't particularly interested in whatever happened to him, so she just simply nodded. "Sure."

When they arrived at Twin Rivers Prison, Maria was already waiting there. She came in a rush, and her hands were quivering.

Maria's first instinct when she saw Grace was to kneel again.

Grace quickly helped Maria up. "Come on, let's head in. Your husband should be waiting for you."

Maria wiped the tears off her face and adjusted the package she was carrying.

The last time Maria received a letter from Randy, he wrote that he was often hungry in there and always got beaten up. It broke her heart, so this time she brought him plenty of food.

The three of them waited in a room. Maria anxiously pinched the fabric on her knees, her eyes slightly red. She was really looking forward to seeing Randy.

It had been years since the two last saw each other. She didn't even know what to say now that they were about to meet again.

Seeing Maria like this made Grace feel a little bad for her.

Yancey, on the other hand, had no idea who Maria was. He leaned against the wall, sweating heavily on his forehead.
