Chapter 105

---- Chapter 105 Grace sighed in relief after making sure she had cleaned Ethan's hand and that he wasn't upset.

She gently lowered his hand, her voice barely above a whisper as she asked, "Mr.

Henderson, are you alright?" Ethan glanced down at where her fingers still rested against his wrist.

Her hand was delicate, its warmth seeping into his skin.

Henderson, did the medicine help at all?" This time, he lifted his eyes and hummed in response, flexing his wrist slightly in her grasp.

Grace let go right away, not wanting to push her luck.

"sorry about that.

I guess I got carried away.

I'm glad you're fine," she said quickly.
