Chapter 193 Chapter 193 Grace had only said this to annoy Alice, so she never thought what kind of impact it would have on anyone else. While she was still vigorously wiping the desk, Ethan reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She froze and turned to look at him. Ethan suddenly smiled. " Do you want to have lunch together?" Grace stopped moving, forgetting how to respond for a moment. Then she remembered her promise to be available whenever he needed her until his leg healed.

The documents in Alice's hands fell to the floor as she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her heart raced wildly as the color drained from her face. She quickly bent down to pick up the papers and mumbled , "Mr. Henderson, I just remembered something urgent. I need to go. As she left the office, her movements were stiff and clumsy.
She felt a chill running through her entire body. She suddenly remembered what had happened when Ethan appeared at Grace's college graduation. Everyone assumed he was just passing by, but he'd gotten into a car accident with Grace that day, injuring his leg. Afterward, he never blamed Grace and chose to go abroad instead. ----During that time, Grace had been pursuing Yancey relentlessly. Alice clenched her fists hard, and she even tasted blood in her mouth.
She'd always thought Ethan let the accident go because of Yancey, but Ethan actually always treated Yancey coldly. In fact, he was cold toward everyone in the Henderson family. A smile like the one he just gave was something he'd never shown to anyone else. Alice couldn't help but remember more details, like her first Henderson family banquet, in which Ethan was the center of attention. He'd been willing to talk to her then, and she thought he was interested in her.
But she forgot that Grace had been standing right beside her, looking distracted. When Ethan spoke, his gaze always drifted toward Grace. But Grace hadn't seemed interested in him and quickly wandered off elsewhere. The more Alice remembered, the sharper the pain grew in her head. Why? Why did all the good things in life always fall into Grace's lap? What made Grace so special? Damnit! She rushed to the hospital, hoping to hurt Liam while nobody was around and ruin Grace's reputation in the process. But when she opened the door, she found Liam standing by the curtains, looking haggard. Right-Liam did not know that Grace was still alive. Liam was not excited to see her. He barely smiled. "Alice, why ---- are you here? Is Grace's tombstone ready?" Alice trembled with rage. After everything she'd done, everyone still only thought about Grace.

At that moment, Liam's phone rang with a call from Grace. He thought he was hearing things. "Grace?" Whatever Grace said made him rush ver toward the door. "You're okay! Do you know how worried I've been? I've lost ten pounds! "You need to makesgood food to helprecover. And Dad's been bedridden this whole time-you should at least visit him. You're so heartless!"
