Chapter 0049

SYDNEY'S POV

I helped Grace to her car. I went back inside and snatched her phone from amongst the spilled content of her bag. I didn't even need to search far, right on her lock screen was a picture of her and a man that looked familiar.

"I would need to give her sedatives so that's he can get some sleep." The doctor's voice broke through my thoughts.

I looked at Grace and raised my brows, "You okay with that, babe?"

She nodded feebly, her eyes already lost the vibrancy they always held. "If it would make me not think about him then yes."

I gently clasped her hand as I exchanged a nod with the doctor then he departed the room.
