Chapter 232

She helped Eder onto the sickhed and covered him with a blanket.

But he had just finished surgery, and his body was weak. He had stood in the corridor for over half an hour, feeling chilled to the bone.

Grace turned on the heater for him and sat by his bedside.

She poured a cup of hot water for him and handed it to him before speaking, “Many things were already explained to me in detail during your surgery. You don’t need to explain them again. However, I have a few doubts that I need you to clarify.”

Eder nodded.

“Why did you become Edgar Fallen? If you are Eder, then where is the real Edgar?”

Eder held her small hand and felt the warmth in her palm before he began speaking. “Do you remember when I told you about the car accident thirteen years ago?”

“I remember.”

“The real Edgar died when he was fifteen years old while trying to save me. At that time, the Grant family was in chaos, and I was too young to compete with my uncles. Edgar was sent to the National Investigation Bureau by Grandfather, and his family never saw him again.”

“So Grandfather asked me to temporarily take on the name Edgar for refuge. On the day of the car accident thirteen years ago, everyone who was escorting me died. Due to the chaos caused by the fire, no one in Frant City knew my true identity, so I naturally became Edgar, taking care of Grandfather and Mother, and helping to revive the Fallen family.”

“I see.” Grace lowered her gaze. “So, the urn of ashes half a year ago was also fake? And the body that Nineteen saw burning was also fake?”

“The ashes are real, they belong to the real Edgar. As for the body, Frant City found a man in the warehouse who had a similar build to mine. Due to the intense fire, his appearance was completely destroyed, so Nineteen definitely didn’t notice.”

His voice was low and h oar se, and when his gaze met Grace’s, it shimmered with a faint light.

“Grace, I didn’t deliberately deceive you. When I returned to S City and took control of the Grant family… I truly couldn’t go back, but you don’t know how happy I was when I found out about your true identity as the Smith family’s daughter.”

Grace remained silent, her starry eyes fixed on him.

Under her emotionless gaze, Eder felt a little nervous. “When I didn’t recognize you at the Dust Cleansing Banquet and pretended, I was wrong. If you’re still angry, you can continue to punish me. I’ll accept it, alright?”

“No, it’s not okay.”

Eder didn’t expect her to refuse so decisively, and his heart sank.

His long eyelashes hung down gently, unable to conceal his sorrow.

While he wasn’t paying attention, Grace leaned forward and lightly kissed his eyes, forehead, and cheeks. Finally, her cold lips pressed against his, each action filled with patience and doting.

“Fool, I’m not angry anymore.”

“Really?” A spark reignited in Eder’s black eyes. “So, does that mean you won’t annul the engagement? Have you forgiven me?”

“Why don’t you guess?” Grace kissed him once again, using her actions to demonstrate her stance.

The two of them closed their eyes and forgot themselves, feeling each other’s breaths becoming more and more rapid.

But just as they were kissing, Eder took the initiative to break away, refusing to continue with a deeper kiss.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Grace didn’t move away, maintaining a close proximity to him.

“No…” Eder’s breathing gradually became erratic. His ears turned slightly red, and his uneasy black eyes looked away.

Seeing his reaction, Grace guessed what was going on. “Do you want to…?”

His ears turned blood red, his long eyelashes trembled nervously. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered the courage to ask, “Can we…?”

Grace unbuttoned two buttons on his hospital gown, revealing the thick bandages on his chest. There were also bandages on his arm from the whip marks he had received the previous night.

Not to mention that he had just undergone surgery and was still weak. How could he engage in such activity?

“Is your body up to it? Considering all these factors, Grace blurted out without much thought. By the time she realized what she had said, it was too late to take it back.

The desire to prove himself from the perspective of a man instantly ignited in Eder. “Who said I’m not capable! How about we give it a try?”

Although his handsome face was pale, it still had the power to make people weak in the knees. Because of Grace’s words, his black eyes were filled with a burning desire, like flames raging.

He was about to forcibly get up and demonstrate it with his actions!

Grace couldn’t help but chuckle and gently pushed him back, preventing him from getting out of bed.

Her crimson lips slowly approached his reddened ear, her seductive voice filled with allure. “Honey, what I meant was, let me take care of tonight. I want to sleep with you…”

Cough, cough, cough….

Eder’s eyes extinguished the flames in an instant because of her words, and his skin turned completely red from his ears to his neck.

Does she even know what she’s saying?

Under his bewildered gaze, Grace sat on him, supporting herself with her knees on the bed to avoid putting pressure on his wounds.

She firmly held his chin and kissed him again..

Emotions were difficult to restrain.

Grace was truly an irresistible little enchantress!

This time, he could indulge without any worries.

Even if the price after the absurdity was his life.

He was willing, wholeheartedly!

Eder’s hands unconsciously wanted to embrace her back.

But she stopped him and put them back, saying, “You still have wounds on your body, don’t move

your hands!”

“But I want to hold you.”

Grace raised his chin again. “You’re being so disobedient?”

He pursed his thin lips and avoided eye contact.

Unlike the previous two rough and violent actions, this time her movements were gentle and patient.

After tying him up, she asked him, “How is it? Does it hurt?”

Eder shook his head earnestly.

After finishing the examination, she sat back on the bed, and her enchanting red lips blew gently on his face, “Be good and lie down, don’t move. I will devour you with tenderness!”

Late at night, silence prevailed. |

Everyone was immersed in deep sleep.

No one knew that beautiful notes were being played with grea

Four o’clock in the morning.

Only a dim desk lamp was lit in the VIP ward.

rhythm.

The yellowish light reflected on Grace’s sleeping face, making her delicate features even more beautiful.

And she was the poison that Eder willingly indulged in.

Eder, wearing a patient’s gown, sat by the bedside, quietly admiring her sleeping countenance.

His well-defined fingers gently traced her forehead, eyebrows, bridge of the nose, and lips, outlining her exquisite beauty..

Grace was in a deep sleep and didn’t wake up at all. She was exhausted after her passionate

encounter with Eder the previous night.

Eder affectionately planted a kiss on her forehead.

Suddenly, a very faint bird chirping came from outside the door.

It was Eric, unable to open the door and not daring to do so, attempting to use a secret code to probe.

Eder took lighter steps to open the door before Eric could speak.

Without waiting for Eric to say anything, he made a hushing gesture, “Grace is tired, don’t disturb her.”

The two of them walked to the end of the corridor, one in front and one behind.

“Speak.”

Just as Eric was about to speak, his gaze inadvertently fell on the open gown of Eder, revealing his neck and collarbone, which were a deep red accompanied by brulses, leaving him stunned,

“Boss, how did you… get injured again?”

Eder looked down at the various sizes of marks on his body.

Instead of covering them up, he shamelessly exposed them, showing them off to Eric.

“Grace’s Bosspiece, what do you think? Isn’t it beautiful?”
