“I just thought it was too much of a coincidence. Why is it always on your birthday? It’s my fault since I should have reminded you not to go out yesterday-
Elias’ eyes were filled with impatience. “It has nothing to do with you. Don’t keep taking the blame for everything”
“But…. I’m scared that my brother is really haunting you. Did he see that I tried hurting myself recently and thought you were bullying me so- Grace tried directing their conversation with a mysterious tone toward her brother Yelan so everyone would think it was karmic retribution and his spirit had returned for revenge.
As soon as she mentioned him, the ward became deathly quiet. Howard, who had been scornful, suddenly turned pale as he thought of something, and his expression became complicated.
The bedridden man suddenly snorted. “Are you implying that Yelan is taking revenge on me? Why didn’t he just kill me yesterday? It was an amazing chance because it would’ve taken days for anyone to discover I had died there.”
Elias was already tired of everything being connected to karma. No matter what happened help thinking about it involuntarily.
“Yelan knows I fancy you, so he would never do that!” Grace looked extremely certain.
He was speechless.
Meanwhile, Howard stood up abruptly while leaning on his walking stick. “I’ll get a master fortune divine your future. Rest well and I’ll come back to visit you again tonight.”
He then walked out with the help of his cane. The elderly man hadn’t been so superstitious before this bu after his son had died and his daughter-in-law became mad, he had begun to believe intensely in those sorts of things. He started asking around for protective amulets and praying for Elias’ safety as well.
Elias’ expression was freezing as he looked at his grandfather’s stooped figure before glancing at Grace. “You should go too. I want to rest.”
He lay back on the bed, refusing to look at her anymore.
“Then you should rest, Elias. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.” Her hands clenched at her sides in reaction to his frigid attitude, though she had to suppress the feeling.
The man didn’t reply but closed his eyes instead, pretending to sleep. Grace was extremely furious but couldn’t do anything, so she turned around and left.
It’s okay. I’ll take my time. I’m not impatient.
Besides, she knew his temper well. He would never change his decision quickly.
As soon as Grace left the hospital, she received a call. After looking around cautiously to check that no one was around, she found a corner to take the call. She didn’t expect Amanda to have arrived at the hospital

at that very moment and walked past behind her.
Amanda had come to the hospital after sending her son to kindergarten. She had just parked her car and was about to enter the ward. When she passed the corridor, she saw a familiar-looking woman talking on the phone. She glanced at the talking woman for several moments before realizing it was Grace.
Amanda was about to walk directly past Grace since they didn’t have any love lost between them. I highly doubt we’ll be greeting each other with false courtesy.
However, as she walked past Grace quickly, she heard a strange conversation.
“Have you cleaned everything up? Will the police trace things back to me?”
“They won’t. Don’t worry. I have dealt with everything nicely so no matter how the police investigate the accident, they will only find that it was due to the brakes malfunctioning but not that it was deliberate.”
Grace’s mouth curved into a smile. “That’s good. Leave quickly before the police come. There are no closed-circuit cameras along that stretch of road anyway.”
“I know.”
