Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 89

Grace's palms were sweating from the nervousness. She even thought she might not live to see another day.

Every second that followed felt agonizingly long. She had never experienced time moving so slow until she finally heard a voice from outside. "Grace! Grace, are you alright?"

It was Yancey's voice.

For the first time ever, Yancey's voice actually felt pleasing to Grace's ears. It had been 20 minutes since Ethan talked, and she hadn't made a peep either. The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.

Grace immediately responded, "I'm fine. When can we get out?"

Yancey had planned on chasing after Grace and Ethan, but he never expected the elevator to malfunction.

He even started to believe that Grace might have actually lost her memories. Otherwise, why would she willingly get close to Ethan?

Back then, Grace absolutely hated Ethan. She would try her best to avoid Ethan whenever he was around.

Two years ago, it was Yancey who urged Grace to approach Ethan. In the end, Ethan's legs ended up in their current state.

Yancey was frantic as he shouted into the elevator, "Ethan, Grace was in a car accident before, and there are a lot of things she doesn't remember. Please don't hold anything against her. You know how reckless she's always been."

Grace had been relieved to hear his voice earlier, but now, she just wished he would lose the ability to speak.

Yet Yancey kept going, "Ethan, if Grace has offended you in any way, please let it slide for my sake."

Grace just felt incredibly awkward. She had definitely offended Ethan just now. No one in all of Druville would have dared to sit on Ethan's lap and kiss him.

Her face was completely red.

Yancey knocked on the elevator doors again. "Grace, are you listening? Don't do anything inappropriate in front of Ethan."

Grace took a deep breath. All that relief she felt just now had completely disappeared. "Shut up!"

She might as well have said nothing because her words only made Yancey even more anxious. He shouted at the rescue team, "Hurry up! What are you all standing around for?"

Grace just felt that the atmosphere in the elevator was as strange as it could be, but she didn't have the courage to talk to Ethan either.

Ethan's fingers lightly tapped on the wheelchair's armrest. To Grace, each tap sounded like the Grim Reaper's death knell.

She took a deep breath and discreetly wiped her sweaty palms.

Finally, the elevator doors were pried open. Even the manager of Velvet Eclipse was standing outside. The moment he saw Ethan, he immediately pulled out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Mr. Henderson, I sincerely apologize."

Ethan said nothing as his gaze briefly landed on Grace.

Grace still had the task of sending Ethan back, so she didn't dare to run off at that moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she walked behind his wheelchair and gave it a gentle push. She breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't reject her.
