Grace quickly said, "It's okay, Mr. Henderson. There's still some left in the pot. I'll bring it out again."
Her hand was hurting terribly, but she could only ignore it at this moment. She turned around and went back to the kitchen to get the medicine, but Jodie stepped in ahead of her.
"Step aside. I'll go get it. You'll only dirty the dishes in the house."
Grace was pulled back several steps. After finally steadying herself, she saw that Jodie had already gone into the kitchen. She touched the back of her hand, remaining still.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Ethan gazing toward the kitchen. It was unclear whether he was simply spacing out or worried that Jodie might get burned. He was truly very good to Jodie.
Grace looked down and suddenly heard him ask, "Does it hurt?"
Stunned, she felt a little touched and quickly replied, "It doesn't hurt. Mr. Henderson, I'm really sorry."
What Jodie had said earlier was right. After all the mistakes Grace had made, how could she still show up in front of Ethan?
Ethan looked up and gazed at Grace's face. She had a small face, and she seemed to feel wronged. The tip of her nose was slightly red, with her long lashes casting a shadow over her features.
He quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere and said lightly, "There's an underground river beneath the land of the Lambert family, making it unsuitable for construction. But only Simon and I know about this."
That was why the Yule family specifically avoided this area when they acquired the surrounding plots.
A hint of surprise crossed Grace's face as she suddenly squatted in front of Ethan. "Thank you so much, Mr. Henderson."
The sparkle in her eyes shone brighter than the stars in the sky, and he seemed flustered. He quickly turned his head away.
Grace was so excited that her chest was pounding with emotions.
