NovelEnglishChapter 1204:
She stared at her phone, hoping she could force out stears, but none would come.
Ethan walked over, his voice flat and distant. “The doctor says your health checks out. You're free to go now. We
didn’t check you in as an inpatient, so we can just leave without handling any paperwork.”
Hearing Ethan's cold tone made Gracie more determined than ever to act. After what she’d done, she couldn't
let this opportunity slip away.
She nodded, wanting to appear sympathetic but lacking a proper reason, so she simply followed Ethan out,
saying, “Alright, | will do as you say.”
Outside, Ethan's car waited. Neville opened the front passenger door and glanced at Ethan, wanting him to take
the front seat so that he wouldn't have to worry about Gracie insisting on sitting next to him.
The sidea crossed Ethan’s mind as he pulled open the rear door for Brenna and said, “The back seat’s
yours.”
Brenna accepted his suggestion without a second thought. Just as Brenna was about to climb in, Gracie turned to

Brenna’s face grew cold. She locked eyes with Ethan, then answered, “No, Ethan is my boyfriend; you don’t get
to sit with him. You have two options: he can sit in front, and I'll take the back with you. Or you sit in front, and
Ethan and | share the back. It's up to you.”
At last, Gracie’s tears fell. Feeling wronged but pretending to be understanding, she said, “Right, | forgot you two
are together. That's on me. It's fine; I'll take the front seat. You can have the back to yourselves, and I'll just
mind my own business. | shouldn't have said anything. My fault.”
Without another word, she slid into the front seat, shoulders shaking as she tried to hold back her sobs.

Brenna shot Ethan another look and, without sugarcoating her words, said in front of Gracie, “So you've switched
your tactic now?” She climbed into the back seat, and Ethan followed her.
With tears still streaming, Gracie faced Brenna. “Say whatever you want. I'm not here to argue. My depression
pushedto try something foolish, and | know it was wrong. I've caused enough trouble for everyone, and |
won't let it happen again. Next t| want to end it all, | will do it quietly in my home. That way, no one will say |
am just doing it because | want attention.”
Ethan, though more and more put off by Gracie, couldn't ignore the tough spot she was in and found a bit of
sympathy for her. “Don’t talk like that. I'll make arrangements for a maid to take care of you,” he responded,
feeling it was the only thing he could realistically do. He couldn't be there for her every day, after all.
Gracie surprised Ethan and Brenna by saying, “Don’t worry about me. I'll be alright. There was a twhen | had
help with everything, but that’s gone, and now, I'm paying off debts. I've figured out how to take care of myself.
Ethan, your mother taughthow to cook, so I'm eating just fine on my own now.” A forced smile appeared as
she wiped away her tears. “Really, you don’t have to be concerned about me. | can take care of myself.”
Brenna looked at Gracie with a cold smile, noticing how different her demeanor was now.
Even so, she decided not to say anything to Ethan, wanting to see for herself how he would respond.
Ethan noticed something was amiss with Gracie. Holding his phone, he pondered for a moment but ultimately
remained silent. He held Brenna’s hand, exchanged a glance with her, and patted her hand reassuringly.
