NovelEnglishChapter 1236:
Her brow furrowed with concern when she looked at Gracie. “You look so pale. Are you all right?”
Gracie forced a smile. “It’s nothing. | just got a little dizzy, that's all.”
“Csit with me,” Elsa said, patting the cushion beside her.
Worry tugged at Gracie. The threat in her bag had left her on edge, and she wondered if things might get worse.
Maybe it was tshe did what Brenna had done and hired a couple of bodyguards to protect herself.
“Are you still planning to help out with Belen?” Gracie asked casually.
Elsa nodded, exhaustion showing in her eyes. “Yeah, my brother and | take turns taking care of her every week.
He's handling it this week, and I'll do it next week.”
That answer left Gracie quietly disappointed. That meant she would no longer have an excuse to stay at Ethan's
house.
Moments later, Ethan walked through the door, his presence a surprise since he usually had evening plans.

hurting Brenna. Do exactly what | told you.”
Ethan ended the call and immediately noticed Elsa’s face clouded with displeasure.
Elsa cast a sharp sideways glance at him. “What now?”
Ethan responded with calm indifference. “I would appreciate it if you didn’t meddle in my affairs.”
Elsa’s temper flared. “What kind of attitude is that? Tellagain—what exactly happened with Brenna?”
But Ethan didn’t trust her. If he told her everything, she would only turn it into gossip.

“I just cto check on you. Since you seem fine, I'll be on my way,” he said.
Still simmering with anger, Elsa grabbed his arm. “Where do you think you're going? It's nearly dinner time.
Stay, eat with us, and spend the night here.”
“Did Belen get discharged without any issues?” Ethan had never intended to stay. He was only here to ask Elsa
how she planned to take care of Belen. Though Belen was out of the hospital, her broken bones would take at
least three months to heal. Someone needed to look after her.
“Everything went well. My brother and | are taking turns taking care of her,” Elsa replied.
Ethan gave a brief nod, then turned to leave without another word.
Elsa shouted angrily, “Stop right there! This is your home, Ethan. Where exactly do you think you're going? Don’t
tellyou're planning to eat at Brenna’s place again. You are not going!”
Without waiting for his reply, she dragged him toward the dining room. “I honestly cannot, for the life of me,
understand why Brenna holds such a special place in your heart,” Elsa muttered bitterly.
Ethan replied bluntly, “You should stop meddling in my affairs. Instead, focus on Kenny. How are his injuries? Has
he gone back to work yet? It’s been more than two weeks since the accident. Has he even forgiven you yet?”
Elsa felt frustrated by his words. Her eyes flickered toward the table full of food; suddenly, she had no appetite.
“Don’t mention him. | raised him since he was a child, and yet, he chose to live with your father. He won't
answer my calls. He won't even tellwhere he is,” she said.
“Do you know why Kenny won't tell you where he is?” Ethan asked calmly as he picked up his utensils.
