Forbidden Passion

Chapter 540 Madison Hit Grace with Her Car

Grace was totally floored, then shook her head real quick. "Phoebe, don't even go there. This whole identity swap thing is already nuts. You didn't even think I was lying, so how can you say you messed it up?" Phoebe saw Grace's freaked-out look and gave her shoulder a reassuring pat.

"Mr. Reynolds can't handle this right now, but once he gets his head straight, he'll come around. Chill out," Phoebe said, trying to calm her down.

Phoebe was sure that blood ties couldn't just disappear.

Once Theodore started having doubts, he'd dig for the truth.

Grace nodded. "I get it. Honestly, I'm all over the place. If I hadn't bumped into you, I probably wouldn't have said anything."

Phoebe grinned, "Grace, don't beat yourself up. You didn't do anything wrong."

When Grace and Madison's identities got swapped, whether it was a nurse's screw-up or someone did it on purpose, Grace and Madison were the real victims here. After Phoebe left, Grace sat on the bench for a bit. Then she got up and headed out of the hospital. She couldn't face Mason and Alva in the ward tonight.

It was late, and the hospital's front door was already locked, so she had to sneak out through the back.

The back door led to a long, creepy alley. The night wind was blowing, and the hospital alley was dead silent. Grace felt a chill and picked up her pace.

Out of nowhere, two car headlights lit up behind her. She heard an engine roar and instinctively turned around.

The blinding lights made it hard to see. She raised her hand to shield her eyes, but before she could make out the license plate, the car sped towards her. Grace barely made out a woman in the driver's seat. A bad feeling hit her, and she quickly turned and ran.

Madison floored it, chasing the figure ahead. Damn Grace, how dare she go to Theodore for a paternity test.

No way!
