Chapter 223 Xander Saved Her

Aaron’s eyes darkened as he said, “Grace, you scared all of us, especially Grandpa. He hasn’t slept for three days.”

Grace looked at Harold apologetically. “Grandpa, I’m sorry.”

Harold held her hand. “Don’t apologize to me. You’ve been through such a big incident, and your b*dy suffered heavy injuries. Fortunately, that boy from the Fulton family risked everything to save you from the fire.”

At the mention of Xander, Grace looked around but didn’t see him. She immediately asked, ” Grandpa, where’s Xander?”

Behind her, Aaron and Caleb exchanged glances.

Finally, Aaron said, “Don’t worry. Xander is fine, but his arm and back got burned. He’s currently being treated in the next room. Aunt Hestia is there with him.”

When she heard that, Grace couldn’t stay in bed any longer. She quickly got up. “What did you say? Xander got injured?”

At the mention of that, Caleb felt guilty. He had protected Lydia at that time but failed to protect Grace. Because of that, Harold and his two brothers had criticized him severely.

This time, Grace was safe all thanks to Xander. Their family really owed him.

“Don’t worry. The world’s top doctors are treating him. He’ll be fine. What about you? Do you feel any discomfort now?”

Grace shook her head. “I’m fine.”

With that, she was about to get up, but Harold stopped her. “Grace, where do you think you’re going?”

“Grandpa, I want to see Xander. I won’t be at ease until I see him.”

Harold was helpless. “Don’t be so anxious. I’ll have a nurse bring a wheelchair to take you over.

“There’s no need for that, Grandpa. I’m not that weak.”

However, Grace couldn’t beat Harold when it came to being stubborn.

In the end, she could only sit in the wheelchair and let Aaron wheel her over to Xander’s ward.

Inside, Hestia was watching over Xander. His back had been severely burned, and he was lying face down on the bed.

“Xander.”

Hearing the voice, Xander tried to sit up but was pressed down by Hestia. “You have injuries on your back. Don’t get up.”

Grace also quickly added, “Xander, don’t move.”

At her words, Xander had no choice but to continue lying face down.

Seeing Grace, Hestia asked with concern, “Gracie, are you okay? Do you feel alright?”

Grace nodded. “I’m fine, Aunt Hestia. How’s Xander doing?”

“Luckily, you’re fine. Don’t worry. Xander is strong. These injuries will heal with time.”

Although Hestia had spoken in an indifferent tone, Grace felt bad for him. “Xander, does it still hurt?”

Xander shook his head. “I’m fine.”

Realizing that the two most likely had something to talk about, Aaron and Hestia tactfully left

the ward.

Once they were outside, Hestia asked, “Aaron, have they found out the cause of the fire?”

At the mention of this, Aaron’s eyes darkened. “Aunt Hestia, don’t worry. We’ve already uncovered the truth of the matter. This fire was in no way an accident. It was arson. We have

the arsonist under control.”

When Hestia heard that, her expression became displeased. “They have such audacity, committing such an act in broad daylight. It almost cost Gracie and Xander their lives.”

“She will pay for this.” Aaron was always efficient and ruthless in his actions.

He said, “Rest assured, Aunt Hestia. Even if you hadn’t brought it up, there’s no way my family would let her off the hook.”
