Upon seeing his puzzled expression, Grace explained, feeling a little flattered by the look in his black.

eyes, “Didn’t you say that regular ointment wouldn’t work for wounds caused by the 540 strong

corrosive agent? This box contains specialized ointment that I bought this morning. I’ll use it later, and it

should help you recover faster.”

Edgar looked down at the ointment in her hands. Though she didn’t say it explicitly, he knew in his

heart that this ointment was only available in the war laboratory. It was likely that she had contacted

Chris to obtain it.

The treatment effect was decent, but with the 5404 biochemical virus in his body, this ointment would

be ineffective for his injuries.

“Thank you. This is the first gift you’ve given me since your divorce,” he said, his thumb gently rubbing

the cintment box. His eyes turned reddish, and even the wounds all over his body felt less painful.

“It’s not a gift. This time, you got hurt because of me, so consider it my way of making amends,” Grace

replied, her voice trailing off. “And if we really think about it, the true ‘gifts’ since the divorce would be

the bankruptcy of the leng family, your employment agreement, and that 023 medicine.”

Edgar rubbed the back of his hand, feeling a shift in her demeanor. Suddenly, her words didn’t carry the

same weight”

Grace observed his expression, pleased to see it stiffen. A smile bloomed on her face as she went to

retrieve Nick’s written confession from the table.

She read every word carefully, her smile gradually fading, replaced by a more serious expression. “Nick

said that Mr. Logan Smith instructed everything that happened at the bar and the potion. incident?” she

asked.

Logan was her fourth uncle. In the Smith family, he was an idle person with no ambitions.

She had previously suspected her third uncle, Mr. Xander Smith of being involved in the schemes

against her, but she never expected it to be Logan.

Edgar nodded. “Though Nick may not have explained everything in detail, he can clearly outline the

exchange process. Logan’s son works in the State Affairs Bureau, and Nick fears him and follows his

orders. It would make sense for him to be sent to the lab to steal the medicine.”

Grace sat on the small sofa beside him, silently contemplating for a long time. Anger slowly surfaced

on her face.

“This Logan, I won’t let him off the h ook! Tomorrow, I’ll discreetly head to S City to collect what I’m

owed!”

If someone dared to harm her in such a sinister way and didn’t let him taste the consequences, she

couldn’t just let it slide!

She looked up, noticing the injuries on Elgar’s body. “You’re still injured. Just stay at the Cloud View

Villa. You’re not allowed to accompany me this time.”

Edgar was worried that he wouldn’t find an excuse to join her if she forbade him from going, so he

came up with a quick retort.

“Alright, I’ll stay at the Cloud View Villa and wait for you to come back,” he acquiesced, lowering his

voice as he sp ake the last few words. However, Grace was too engrossed in carefully reading Nick’s

confession to notice.

“Logan, that cun ning individual, has been hiding so well!”

“From what you said, it seems you’re quite familiar with this Mr. Logan Smith. Have you been to the

Smith family before?” Edgar raised an eyebrow, teasing her knowing the answer but wanting to hear it

from her.

Grace looked up, meeting his gaze, and arched her eyebrows. T’m not familiar with him personally, but

I do know Mr. Patric Smith. Perhaps it’s because Mr. Patric Smith has shown me great kindness that he

attracts jealousy from the Smith family. They came to harm me.”

“Oh,” Edgar pursed his lips and chuckled.

As he glanced back at her, he noticed Grace studying his expression with sharp eyes. Quickly, he

lowered his face, feigning unhappiness. “Why are you telling me this? I don’t think Patric is as good to

you as you claim.”

Grace propped her chin up with her hand, her tone slightly playful. “So, are you feeling jealous again?*

Edgar lowered his head and didn’t respond to her question. His voice was muf fled as he spoke, “I’m

going to make breakfast.”

IE wasn’t until he turned around that a smile tugged at his lips. Grace laughed as well. With his

departure, she pondered the contents of Nick’s confession once more, her thoughts now focused on

planning her return to 5 City.

While Edgar busied himself preparing breakfast, Joan purposely woke up fifteen minutes earlier than

usual. She wore a charming yet cute pale pink nightdress and leaned against the kitchen door. tilting

her head to watch Edgar cook.

They say a man who can cook is the se xiest and most attractive, and in this case, it was even more so

because of his handsome appearance.

He was truly eye-catching.

Joan contemplated secretly bringing him back to the Knight family, allowing herself a few days to enjoy

his presence. But how should she go about it?

Sensing someone’s gaze, Edgar felt a bit uncomfortable but ignored it, focusing on chopping

vegetables with his numb hands.

“Hey! I’ve been standing here for quite some time. Can’t you see me?” Joan’s voice carried a playful

tone as she pouted her lips, looking slightly displeased.

Edgar continued chopping vegetables as if she were air, paying no attention to her.

“You’re being rude. I am the hostess here, and you’re just a ser vant in Grace’s Cloud View Villa. How

dare you ignore me!” Joan felt aggrieved.

Throughout her life, everyone had treated her like a precious treasure, spoiling her rotten. How dare

this ser vant disregard her!

Edgar paused his chopping and spoke in a cold voice, “My loyalty is solely to Grace. Apart from her, no

one has any authority over me.”

“You!” It was the first time Joan encountered such an arrogant ser vant, and she couldn’t accept it.

“Why can’t I summon you?” she exclaimed, anger mounting. She then walked into the kitchen,

deliberately knocking over the glass of warm milk Edgar had prepared for Grace. She assumed an air

of superiority.

“Apologize to me! I demand that you speak to me the way you address Sister Grace! Otherwise, I’l

tell her that you spilled her milk and let her punish you!”

Edgar’s black eyes turned icy, and a chilling aura enveloped his entire being. He let the empty glass fall

to the ground, shattering it into pieces right by Joan’s feet. He gazed at her with cold, ruthless eyes,

and continued preparing breakfast without uttering a word.

Joan’s grievances reached their peak. “How dare you treat me like this! You’ve gone too far!” She

seethed with anger, ready to raise her hand and teach him a lesson.

Edgar’s gaze remained cold and merciless, his grip tightening around the knife in his hand. An

unreasonable fool-regardless of her being Nick’s sister, if she dared to lay a hand on him, he would not

hesitate to retaliate.

However, before he could make a move, someone grabbed Joan’s wrist from behind. She turned

around to find Grace holding onto her tightly, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.

“Sister Grace, he’s bullying me! He even tried to larm me with a glass! Although he may look

handsome, he’s worse than the men at the bar last n ig

Tears streamed down Joan’s face as she spoke, feeling utterly wronged. “He’s mean and disobedient!

Sister, please punish him!”

Grace held onto Joan’s wrist, her eyes fixed on Edgar with a hint of amusement, her lips curving into a

smile. “She claims that you’re mean and disobedient. Do you acknowledge this?”

She was curious to see how he would react when accused by Joan. Would he respond with anger or

indifferently accept the punishment?

Meeting her gaze with a clear expression, Edgar put down the kitchen knife and wiped his hands. His

eyes appeared reddened, and his face held an expression of aggrieved innocence, like that of a

deflated balloon.

“She wanted to call me, but I only listen to you,” he replied softly.

“Furthermore, I’m always well behaved and obedient. I don’t know why she would slander me

Joan blinked in confusion, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events. “Wait, what?”

What in the world was happening? This wasn’t how she had envisioned things unfolding. How could

this man act more virtuous than her?

Grace released Joan’s wrist but maintained her amused gaze. “Well, it seems Edgar acknowledges his

mistakes. You should apologize too, Joan”

Joan’s tears abruptly ceased, replaced by a mixture of surprise and resentment. How did the situation

shift so dramatically? She glanced at Edgar, still unable to comprehend what had just transpired.

With a composed expression, Edgar resumed his task of preparing breakfast, as if the previous

confrontation hadn’t occurred. The atmosphere in the kitchen gradually returned to normal. Grace

stepped closer to Joan and gently patted her shoulder. “You should learn to be more understanding

and tolerant. Everyone has their own role in this Cloud View Villa, and Edgar is a dedicated ser vant to

me. He wouldn’t treat you poorly unless you provoke him.”

Joan nodded begrudgingly, realizing she had crossed a line. Deep down, she couldn’t deny her

jealousy towards Grace and her desire to regain her previous status as the center of attention

As breakfast was served, the trio sat down at the dining table, the air filled with a mixture of

awkwardness and underlying tensions. However, they made an effort to enjoy the meal, engaging in

light conversation to ease the lingering discomfort,

After breakfast, Grace turned to Joan with a warm smile. “Joan, since you’re here, would you like to

accompany me on a little trip to 5 City today? There are some matters I need to attend to, and your

company would be greatly appreciated.”

Joan’s eyes widened with excitement. The prospect of an outing with Grace brought a glimmer of joy to

her eyes. “Of course, Sister Grace! I’d love to accompany you to S City!”

Grace’s smile widened, pleased with Joan’s enthusiastic response. “Great! We’ll leave in a little while.

Just go and freshen up, and we’ll be on our way.

In the

Joan quickly rushed off to prepare herself, her previous grievances momentarily forgotten in excitement

of the upcoming trip. She couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of anticipation, eager to spend quality

time with Grace and perhaps gain a deeper understanding of her world.

Meanwhile, as Joan disappeared to her room, Grace turned her attention back to Edgar. She could

sense the tension lingering in the air and decided to address it directly.

“Edgar, I apologize for Joan’s behavior earlier. She’s still adjusting to the changes and may not fully

understand her place here. I hope you can bear with her for my sake,” she said, her voice filled with

sincerity.

Edgar glanced at Grace, his gaze softening. “There’s no need for apologies, Mistress. I understand that

it takes time for everyone to adapt. I will do my best to be patient.”

Grace nodded appreciatively, grateful for his understanding. She knew that having Joan around would

inevitably bring about some challenges, but she believed in their ability to navigate through them

together.

Weverything settled, the trio soon embarked on their journey to 5 City. The drive was filled with

lively conversation and laughter, as Grace and Joan shared stories and anecdotes, gradually building a

stronger bond between them.

Arriving at their destination, Grace led Joan through the bustling streets of 5 City. The vibrant

atmosphere, the mix of modern architecture and historical landmarks, and the fusion of cultures

fascinated Joan. It was an entirely different world from the sheltered life she had known.

They visited various places of interest, indulging in shopping sprees, sampling local delicacies, and

immersing themselves in the city’s rich heritage. Through it all, Grace played the role of a caring sister,

guiding Joan with patience and affection

As the day drew to a close, the sun began its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the city.

Grace and Joan found themselves sitting on a bench in a peaceful park, watching as the world around

them gradually transitioned into the serenity of twilight.

Joan broke the silence, her voice tinged with gratitude. “Sister Grace, thank you for today. I’ve never

experienced anything like this before. You’ve shown me a whole new world.”

Grace smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with affection. “Joan, you’re part of our family now. It’s my

pleasure to share these experiences with you. I hope that as time goes on, we can grow closer and

create beautiful memories together.”

Joan nodded, a genuine smile gracing her face. “I look forward to that, Sister Grace. I promise to be a

better sister and learn from your kindness and grace.”

As the evening breeze rustled through the trees, Grace and Joan sat side by side, their hearts

connected by the bond of sisterhood. They knew that challenges and obstacles awaited them, but with

understanding, patience, and love, they were determined to overcome them and build a harmonious

family.

And so, as the day faded into night, they continued their journey together, embracing the possibilities

that lay ahead, and cherishing the unbreakable ties
