Chapter 1202:
Gracie’s voice cracked as she snapped, “How can you be so heartless, Brenna? | tried to take my own life, and
you just stand there saying things that makewant to jump off a building right now!”
“Go ahead and jump,” said Brenna, her voice like ice as she moved out of the way.
Gracie fixed her gaze on Brenna, stunned by her bold demeanor.
How could Brenna behave as if her life held no value?
This wasn’t how things were supposed to unfold.
Caught off guard, Gracie just looked at Brenna for a prolonged moment.
Brenna shot Gracie a scornful look. “I knew you would never go through with it. You're not serious about dying. If
you truly meant to end it all, you wouldn’t have cut your wrist in your office, would you? It’s all a performance for
attention!”
She looked down on Gracie. “If you really wanted to die, you would have done it when the Wilson Group
collapsed. Why wait until now?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGracie faltered. “That's nonsense! Brenna, how can you be so heartless? You think my suicide attempt was a
stunt? That's cruel.”
She turned to look out the hospital room window, staring for several seconds but ultimately deciding not to
approach it. Without another word, Brenna left the room.
Gracie felt utterly defeated. Was this plan doomed to fail as well?
As Brenna walked out, Gracie walked toward the window. She found that the hospital windows were designed to
open only a crack, a safeguard against suicide attempts.
Gracie cursed herself for not acting sooner to prove her resolve to die in front of Brenna, to show she wasn’t just
pretending.
She should have rushed to the window to jump off earlier instead of doing nothing out of fear.

What a missed opportunity!
She tugged at the window with frantic, forceful movements, trying to open it wider.
Brenna glanced back at her, standing there without any intention of intervening. Ethan lingered beside Brenna
for a moment before they both walked away.
Unable to budge the window, Gracie gave up and collapsed onto the hospital bed. After stime, she rushed
to the door, only to find Brenna and Ethan long gone. She slammed the door shut and dialed Rosie on her phone.
“You always know how to handle things,” Ethan said to Brenna with admiration. “I hesitated to tell you, but
Gracie claimed you had leaked that photo and demanded an apology from you.”
Brenna rolled her eyes. “So you trickedinto coming here?”
Ethan laughed lightly. “Not quite. | knew you would be smart enough to handle her.”
Ethan praised Brenna again before calling Neville to say there was no need for a caregiver. He then sought out
Gracie’s doctor to discuss her discharge. He asked, “Dr. Clark, is it necessary for her to stay hospitalized?”
“Once the IV is finished, she can go home. The patient has depression, so it’s wise not to agitate her,” the doctor
replied.
Ethan raised an eyebrow. “I don’t buy that she’s depressed. | think she’s faking it.”
The doctor gave him a curious look. “What makes you say that?”
Ethan recounted Brenna’s conversation with Gracie.
