Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 212

After sending Maria off from the morgue, Grace didn't even know what to say.

Grace wanted to help out with Randy's funeral arrangements, but Maria only shook her head and insisted on leaving by bus.

Grace didn't press Maria to stay and could only stand there, giving Maria reminders repeatedly.

"If you need my help with anything later, just give me a call," she said.

Maria looked through the bus window and nodded at Grace, then leaned back against the seat in exhaustion and fell asleep.

Grace stood there for a long while before turning to look at Yancey. His forehead was sweating more profusely, and his lips had grown even paler.

Grace was about to ask him what was going on, but the next second, he collapsed right in front of her.

Frightened, she immediately rushed Yancey to the hospital, and when the doctor lifted his shirt, she finally saw the deep, crisscrossing whip marks on his back.

Some were so deep that the bone was visible.

Yancey was part of the Henderson family—who on earth would be this cruel?

Grace covered her mouth in shock as she found it hard to believe what she was seeing.

Someone from the Henderson family arrived shortly after. The first one to show up was Lily.

The moment Lily saw Grace, she wanted to slap Grace, but Alice caught her wrist in time to stop her.

Lily's entire body was trembling.

"You jinx! You are a jinx! If it weren't for you, how could Yancey have ended up like this?"

Grace found this ridiculous. She didn't even know what happened to him, so how was it her fault?

Just as Grace was about to argue back, she saw Levi, whom she had met earlier that day, walk in.

His gaze made Grace very uncomfortable. The way he stared at her was still like staring at prey. A smirk flashed across his lips.

"Grace, you probably didn't know. Yancey suddenly barged into Henderson Residence this evening. He kneeled and begged Grandpa to call off his engagement with Alice. He said he regretted it and that the one he liked was you.
