Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 125

---- Chapter 125 Grace was admitted to the psychiatric hospital, and Noah personally led her to a ward. She was locked inside a spacious room. "Grace, you'll be staying here for a while," Noah said. She glanced around. Surprisingly, the place wasn't bad.

Bending down, she picked up a jagged shard and stabbed it into her thigh. Blood poured out instantly.
