Chapter 231

Eric hurriedly slapped his face to stop his wandering thoughts.

This was his first time acting alone with Miss Grace. Maybe this was just her personality, and he should trust her feelings for the boss!

However, he absolutely couldn’t let the boss know about these details!

In the bedroom….

Grace lightly traced the sharp tip of the dagger on Xian Grant’s face, moving from his neck down to his chest.

Xian trembled, afraid that the dagger would pierce his skin at any moment.

A strange and eerie aura filled the air, making it hard for him to breathe.

Seeing how frightened he was, Grace steered, “You’re so afraid of a dagger like this. With your weak disposition, do you still dare to fight against Eder?”

Xian seemed provoked by her words, and his expression of fear lessened.

Because he knew deep down that Grace didn’t dare and couldn’t kill him in the Grant family.

Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Grace guessed what he might be thinking. “That’s right, 1 won’t kill you. I prefer to torture, slowly torment. So today, I’m just here to collect some interest.” “Because of you, Eder is still on the operating table right now. Who gave you the right to lie comfortably in bed while he suffers? I want you to stay awake and experience ten times the pain. he’s going through!”

Her eyes turned cold, and the tip of the dagger lightly pressed against Xian’s chest, but she was. careful not to pierce his heart.

Fresh blood instantly gushed out, staining Xian’s snow white bathrobe, and his face turned pale from the pain.

“Don’t worry, this little wound won’t immediately cost you your life.”

Grace put away the dagger and took out a packet of powder to show Xian

“This is itching powder. I will sprinkle it all over your body. When you itch unbearably and your muscles twitch intensely, your blood will flow faster throughout your body, and the blood from the wound will keep flowing. I wonder if you’ll bleed too much and die overnight. Shall we give it a try?”

Her tone was innocent, but her words were extremely cruel.

Xian looked at the powder in her hand in horror, shaking his head continuously, mumbling something.

Grace’s face furned icy, and she didn’t waste time talking to him. She directly started sprinkling the powder from his neck, showing no mercy.

For some hard-to-reach places, she called Eric over.

When Eric learned that she was going to sprinkle the powder between Xian’s legs, he was so scared that a certain part of his body shrank, but he admired her and gave her a thumbs up.

This move was truly vicious and ruthless!

If Xian couldn’t bear it, he might have some erection problem in his next life, right?

At the hospital…

After several hours of surgery, Eder finally removed the bullet from his chest. Fortunately, the bullet missed his heart by two inches.

However, due to excessive blood loss, his body was weak, and he needed proper rest. Therefore, he was transferred to a regular ward.

“Grace…”

He woke up from the anesthesia, his voice hoarse and weak. His gaze instinctively scanned the empty room.

The white room was empty.

There was no Grace he longed for, and there wasn’t anyone else either. It was just him lying on the hospital bed alone.

A sense of loneliness and desolation permeated the air.

Although the effects of the anesthesia hadn’t completely worn off, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Grace said she would wait for him to come out, that she would listen to his explanation.

She wouldn’t deceive him!

Enduring dizziness, he ignored the freshly bandaged wound on his chest and sat up. His steps were unsteady, and he could only support himself by leaning against the wall, slowly making his way to the door of the ward.

The corridor outside was silent and still.

Except for him, it was empty, and only the chilly wind occasionally blew against his pale face, causing a stinging sensation.

His eyes reddened, and his chest felt suffocated. Intense sorrow gripped him.

The excruciating pain in his chest was a hundred times worse than when he was shot.

“Grace…”

Where are you?

Are you

still unwilling to forgive me?

He wanted to replace Grace, but he had exhausted all his strength by leaving the ward, feeling weak and powerless, and could only lean against the door with great effort.

obsession of not seeing Grace kept him struggling to maintain a little clarity.

A passing nurse saw him and was frightened, rushing over to support him. “Oh my goodness, Mr. Storm, why did you get out of bed? You just had surgery, you shouldn’t be exposed to the wind. Please go back inside quickly!”

Eder avoided her hand, not letting her touch him, and weakly asked, “Where is Miss Grace?” “Miss Grace left a long time ago. It’s already early morning, she probably won’t come. Your health is more important, so please go inside first.”

Eder was overwhelmed with distress.

She left.

She really didn’t forgive him, unwilling to listen to his explanations…

A nauseating sweetness rose in his throat, and the empty corridor echoed with his painful coughing.

Chapter 231

The nurse couldn’t bear to see it. “Mr. Storm…”

“Get lost!” He glared at her with coldness, despite being sick, his eyes were fiercely threatening. The nurse was frightened and dared not speak any further. She ran away weakly.

The desolate corridor was empty once again, leaving only him. His whole body was weak, unable to stand, so he could only slowly crouch by the door, curling up helplessly at the entrance.

Grace, I don’t believe you could be so heartless. I won’t go anywhere.

After Grace handled Xian’s matters and left someone there to take care of them, she immediately rushed back to the hospital.

However, as soon as she came out of the elevator, she saw the man curled up at the door of the ward from a distance.

That pitiful and helpless figure pierced her heart with a sharp pain.

She almost instantly ran over, supporting him in her arms, and gently scolded, “Why did you come out? You just had surgery and shouldn’t be exposed to the cold wind!”

Eder held onto her waist tightly, the joy of replaceing her again making his nose tingle, and mist forming in his dark eyes.

“I knew… you would come…”

Grace’s heart ached even more.

Originally, she couldn’t bear to let him suffer alone in the operating room. She planned to take this opportunity to vent her anger at Xian, but she didn’t expect him to come out early.

“I’m sorry, it was my negligence, but I didn’t leave. Alright, don’t stand outside in the wind, first.”

Eder held her waist, resting his chin gently on her shoulder, refusing to let go.

go inside

Grace initially wanted to pry his hand open, afraid of hurting him since he was injured, but for a moment, she felt helpless and didn’t know where to start.

“I said I wouldn’t leave, didn’t you listen? What if I really left?”

Originally, it was just a joke, but Eder’s face turned pale, and he immediately let go of her, bending his knees as if to kneel down.

Seeing his actions, Grace quickly held him, feeling overwhelmed with heartache.

Just a few words from her could make him tremble like a frightened bird, constantly kneeling to beg for forgiveness. Was her previous attitude towards him so terrible? Was that why he felt so insecure? As the person in power of the Grant family, how could he degrade himself so much…

In fact, before she arrived at the hospital, Eder had already endured for nearly half an hour alone. exhausted and filled with self-doubt.

Now, seeing her, he wished he could offer his entire heart as proof to her.

Grace suppressed her tears, sighed helplessly, and imitated the tone he used to appease her before. “I’m not angry, and I won’t leave. Be a good boy and go back to the bed. I’ll listen to you explain slowly, okay?”
