Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 214

While waiting for Levi to leave, Grace was completely exhausted. She rubbed the spot between her brows and sighed softly.

She returned to the bench outside the hospital room, feeling drowsy, and was about to doze off.

Another hour had passed when Jodie arrived in a rush.

Jodie was very frantic, and she blew up the moment she saw Grace.

"Get the hell out of here, Grace! Why are you even here? If it weren't for you, would my brother have ended up here? Get lost!"

Grace didn't want to stay here to begin with. Upon hearing that, she was practically delighted.

"Sure, I'll get lost. Goodbye."

Jodie was stunned for a second. It felt like she had punched a pillow, and she didn't know what to say at that moment. In a fit of frustration, she flung open the door to the hospital room.

When Grace left the hospital, she simply felt refreshed. She went straight home, changed her clothes, and headed to Henderson Group to check in.

She arrived at the penthouse just in time. Luckily, she wasn't late.

She didn't see Ethan all day. He was even absent from the executive meeting.

Before leaving, concern got the better of her, so she ended up asking Tim about Ethan.

"What happened to Mr. Henderson?"

Tim scoffed and rolled his eyes at Grace. "Why don't you ask yourself what you fed him last night?"

Her heart skipped a beat. They did have a meal at a roadside food stall. Could Ethan's fragile stomach not have handled it?

"How is he now? Is it that serious that he couldn't even come to work?" Grace asked.

Tim adjusted his glasses. "Worse. The family doctor from Henderson Residence has already been called in, and Mr. Henderson Senior was already aware of Ethan's condition.

"Mr. Henderson had a high fever and fell into a coma this morning. I'd say someone will be coming to fetch you any minute now."

Grace felt her heart instantly sink. If she had known his stomach was that weak, she never would have made the decision to bring him there on her own.

She quickly grabbed Tim's sleeve, but she didn't expect him to instantly leap several feet away, with his expression looking utterly shocked and alarmed.

His expression practically screamed, "Are you trying to kill me?"

It slightly caught her off guard. Why did he have such an overreaction?

Then it dawned on her—Tim never liked her to begin with. He probably thought she was carrying some sort of virus with her.

She drew in a deep breath. She knew this wasn't the time to argue with him. "Mr. Bennett, may I turn myself in now?"

If she waited for Jordan's servants to come fetch her, she couldn't imagine what would happen.
