Chapter 119

---- Chapter 119 On her way to the hospital, Grace made sure to disguise herself from head to toe. The Lambert family had bodyguards out looking for her, and if they got their hands on her, she'd be locked in a psychiatric hospital with no one coming to her rescue anytime soon. Once she got to the hospital, she followed a nurse into the changing room and threw ona nurse uniform, a surgical mask, and glasses.

staring at the massive truck that hadn't ---- slowed down one bit and was now long gone in the distance. A chill ran down his spine, and all at once, he remembered what Grace had said earlier that day. Alice had to be behind it. She wanted to shut him up for good. As panic set in, a soft, clear voice spoke behind him. It was Grace. Earlier at the hospital, she had

glasses, his lips trembling as panic crept in. "I-I'm fine. Thanks for checking." Grace nodded with her brows furrowed, glancing toward the direction the truck had gone. "Truck drivers like that are dangerous as hell. If you hadn't
