True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 192

When Grace Smith saw her good attitude, she felt utterly sorry for her.

"Sister, actually, a lot of things happened that day. I played with you and thought that you would be with Simon. We had so much fun that day. But then, Marry came and gave us the drink," Alice Smith recalled.

Of course, Grace remembered. She would never forget that night, not even in her dreams.

"On that day, you even stopped me from drinking the wine that Marry gave me. You said that I was below 18 years old, still underaged, and was, therefore, I was not supposed to drink," Alice said, tears welling up in her eyes.

She wiped the tears and continued, "But Marry claimed that it was light so I drank it and unexpectedly got drunk after that."

"Uh." Grace suddenly recalled. "I didn't see you after that." "Yes, I went to my own tent to rest. I wanted to come out after a while. However, as I was sleeping, it got hotter and hotter and was really unbearable."

Grace's heart suddenly tightened and she felt distressed and guilty.

At that time, she did not notice this detail that Alice had been hurt.

"Was there a problem..." Grace's voice was a little

restrained."... with the wine?"

"Yes." Tears rolled down Alice's cheeks. "I felt so hot and wanted to cry for help, but I didn't know what happened... When I was about to crawl out, someone hugged me, and then-"

Alice lowered her head and her hair draped down, covering her eyes.

Her shoulders were shaking slightly and she looked so fragile.

However, within the next second, she wiped her tears and continued,

"Sister, it hurt. The man was so strong and I couldn't see him clearly. I tried to cry for help, but the words were stuck in my throat. I remember that my sensibility signaled for me to shout and refuse, but I just couldn't control my body, so I eventually surrendered."

Grace felt sorry that she had not noticed these details. At that time, she was caught up in her feelings for Simon and could not extricate herself from them.

After the incident, she was overwhelmed by the sadness of losing Simon. Furthermore, she got pregnant. She lost herself for no reason and then she got pregnant. Eventually, she found out that she had twins.

At that time, Grace was definitely not in the mood to care about Alice, let alone learn about her issues.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had neglected her younger sister, who was still so young at that time.

She looked at Alice apologetically. "Alice, it's my fault. I didn't notice that you were bullied."

"Sister, it's not your fault." Alice shook her head. "I was really scared at that time. After what happened with the strange man, I sobered up around midnight. I was very scared. I was only 17 years old and didn't dare to tell you about it because I was afraid that all of you would look down on me. So, I left at 4:30 am."

After dawn, Grace couldn't find her.

That explained it.

Alice had left early in the morning.

No wonder Grace couldn't find her.

"Even after I got home, I didn't dare to look at you. I actually wanted to tell you, but I suddenly discovered that you had lost your wits. Marry slept with Simon and he became our brother- in- law. I didn't dare to say anything as I was worried that you all would blame me if you knew that what happened to me."

"Alice." Grace stretched her hand across the table to hold her sister's hand.

Alice's hand was very cold. Talking about all these now still made her anxious.

Grace's heart hurt. "It's my fault. It's all my fault. If I didn't take you there to the banquet that night, such a thing would not have happened. It's my responsibility."

She blamed herself, but what could she do to heal her sister's wound?

"Sister, I don't blame you," Alice shook her head and said. "That night was a nightmare for you too. You lost your own first time, got pregnant, and even lost your first love. All that was a strong blow on you too."

"That's my own fault." Grace sighed. "I was blind."

"But sister, Heinz is Little Gary's father and that is something to be grateful for. At least he is not a bad old man." Alice took a deep breath, smiled, and regained her optimistic spirit.
