NovelEnglishChapter 1198:
Even though Brenna knew the photo scandal had pushed Gracie to the brink, she remained convinced she had
nothing to do with it and that Ethan wasn’t responsible either.
A weight seemed to lift off Ethan's shoulders, and his trust in Brenna only grew stronger. He believed she was
not the one who had spread that photo. “I know. | will handle the matter. I'm only in the hospital because Gracie
has no family in this city. | have to take care of her.”
He offered more details, wanting to make sure Brenna didn’t get the wrong idea about his involvement with
Gracie.
Moments later, the doctor cout of the room. Ethan promised Brenna, “I'll let you know if there are any new
developments.”

Then, after ending the call, he turned his attention to the doctor. “How is she?”
The doctor paused before saying, “May | ask, what is your relationship to the patient?”
Ethan glanced into the room, seeing Gracie stare blankly up at the ceiling.
Facing the doctor, he replied, “I'm her supervisor in the company.”
A flicker of surprise crossed the doctor's face. “You're not her boyfriend? She mentioned your nthree times
and said she wanted you by her side during our entire conversation.”
Ethan had no interest in discussing his private affairs, so he kept his silence. The doctor thought Ethan looked
familiar but could not place where they had met. But seeing how cold he was, the doctor decided not to ask.
Keeping things straightforward, the doctor said, “She has been diagnosed with depression and is currently on
medication. Do your best not to upset her.” A frown...
A crease appeared on Ethan's forehead as discomfort settled in. So, the doctor was suggesting that he should
comply with Gracie’s wishes to avoid causing her any more stress?

He was completely unwilling to do so.
He responded coolly, “Okay.”
After a few more routine instructions, the doctor turned to leave, and Ethan had no follow-up questions.
It was Neville who followed the doctor, asking for more details.
“Ethan, cinside. | want to speak with you.”
Just as Ethan was preparing to leave, Gracie’s voice called him back. Reluctantly, Ethan entered the room,
feeling burdened by Gracie’s situation, trapped without a way out.
“Focus on getting better,” he said. “I'll make sure the issue with the photo is handled. I'll also arrange for a
caregiver to help take care of you.”
Realization flickered across Gracie’s face as she sensed Ethan meant to leave. She reached for him, but he
remained out of reach.
Her voice was pleading. “Don’t leave me, Ethan. | don’t want a stranger looking after me. | need you. You're the
only one | have here. Please, I'm begging you. Don’t go.”
“Gracie, there's still a lot | need to take care of at work,” Ethan said.
