Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 214 Chapter 214, While waiting for Levi to leave, Grace was completely exhausted. She rubbed the spot between her brows and sighed softly. She returned to the bench outside the hospital room, feeling drowsy, and was about to doze off. Another hour had passed when Jodie arrived in a rush. Jodie was very frantic, and she blew up the moment she saw Grace. "Get the hell out of here, Grace! Why are you even here? If it weren't for you, would my brother have ended up here? Get lost!" Grace didn't want to stay here to begin with. Upon hearing that, she was practically delighted. "Sure, I'll get lost. Goodbye." Jodie was stunned for a second. It felt like she had punched a pillow, and she didn't know what to say at that moment. Ina fit of frustration, she flung open the door to the hospital room. When Grace left the hospital, she simply felt refreshed. She went straight home, changed her clothes, and headed to Henderson Group to check in.

She arrived at the penthouse just in time. Luckily, she wasn't late. ---- She didn't see Ethan all day. He was even absent from the executive meeting. Before leaving, concern got the better of her, so she ended up asking Tim about Ethan. "What happened to Mr. Henderson?" Tim scoffed and rolled his eyes at Grace. "Why don't you ask yourself what you fed him last night?" Her heart skipped a beat. They did have a meal at a roadside food stall. Could Ethan's fragile stomach not have handled it? "How is he now? Is it that serious that he couldn't even cto work?" Grace asked. Tim adjusted his glasses. "Worse. The family doctor from Henderson Residence has already been called in, and Mr. Henderson Senior was already aware of Ethan's condition. "Mr. Henderson had a high fever and fell into a coma this morning. I'd say someone will be coming to fetch you any minute now." Grace felt her heart instantly sink.

If she had known his stomach was that weak, she never would have made the decision to bring him there on her own. She quickly grabbed Tim's sleeve, but she didn't expect him to instantly leap several feet away, with his expression looking utterly shocked and alarmed. His expression practically screamed, "Are you trying to kill ---- me?" It slightly caught her off guard. Why did he have such an overreaction? Then it dawned on her-Tim never liked her to begin with.

He probably thought she was carrying ssort of virus with her. She drew in a deep breath. She knew this wasn't the tto argue with him. "Mr. Bennett, may I turn myself in now?" If she waited for Jordan's servants to cfetch her, she couldn't imagine what would happen. Tim had already regained his composure at this point, his expression turning solemn. "Mr. Henderson Senior really cares a lot about Mr. Henderson. And due to spast incidents, Mr.

Henderson had struggled with self-harm for a long time. "You... you better be mentally prepared. If Mr. Henderson Senior scolds you, you just have to endure it." Grace grew more anxious. She had absolutely no idea about Ethan's past. If she knew, she wouldn't have taken him to that food stall even if her life depended on it! She nervously followed Tim into his car. When they arrived at Palm Bay, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. There were many cars parked outside Palm Bay today.

They were either military vehicles or the ones owned by the ---- Hendersons. Acold sweat ran down her back. Once she entered the entrance hall, she could hear Jordan's voice. "Thank you all for your service." Grace looked up and saw several men in military uniforms sitting in the hall. Their posture showed such discipline and formality that it was clear they held high ranks at a glance. This was not a situation she should be a part of.

Jordan spotted her, and his expression shifted slightly, but he didn't explode. He simply waved his hand. "Kneel outside. You don't get up until Ethan wakes up." 'Tim was standing right beside her. Just as he was about to speak up for Grace, she pulled him back. She understood how furious Jordan was right now. He had just finished disciplining Yancey recently, and now his favorite son was unconscious, all because of her.

The fact that he hadn't killed her right away showed just how much he was restraining himself. Grace couldn't be so shameless as to have someone speak up for her tim frowned and then whispered, "When Mr. Henderson wakes up, I'll explain everything to him." Grace felt a bit touched. She thought Tim had always hated her guts and would be happy to see her get punished. She ---- didn't expect him to stand by her at a tlike this.

No wonder he was one of the people who worked for Ethan- always well-mannered. The others in the hall didn't even glance at her. Grace went outside to the courtyard and kneeled. The ground was covered in small stones. She didn't try to avoid the stones and instead kneeled directly on them, causing her knees to ache from the friction. She kept her back straight, thinking Ethan would wake up by nighttime. But three hours had passed.

The hall remained abuzz with activities, and those high-ranking ΟΠ men even went upstairs once. Grace's knees were already covered in blood, but she was more worried about Ethan's condition.
