Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 176

---- Chapter 176 Two days later, Grace could finally move around freely. She'd spent the past week as Ethan's ''sleeping pill", barely moving in bed. After a long, hot shower in the morning, she told him she was leaving Palm Bay. Ethan sat on the couch with the morning paper, his expression unreadable. She quickly explained, "Regarding Amity Hospital in the suburbs, I was supposed to convince the director to relocate, but my injuries slowed me down. I'll take care of it in the next few days.

And, Mr. Henderson, you're not firing me, right?" His grip on the newspaper tightened before he looked up. A week of good sleep had worked wonders, and he looked much better. "Who said I was firing you?" he asked, his voice flat. She let out a relieved breath, her face lighting up with a smile. "Thank goodness! I'll head to the hospital right now and get it done." She'd ignored Maria for a week, and now it was time to face her. Plus, she needed to figure out what had caused the car accident.

As she drove off, she reached for her phone, which had been dead for a while. After quickly charging it, she saw that no one had messaged her-except Selene, who'd asked why she hadn't been home lately. ---- The message was three days old, so replying felt pointless . Just as Grace was heading to the hospital , her phone buzzed again. "Why are the Lamberts saying you're dead?" Selene asked. Grace raised an eyebrow and shot back a question mark. "Good to know you're not dead.

It's not easy finding friends who actually get me," Selene replied. "Oh, and the Lamberts are already picking out your tombstone. Alice is in charge, and she's taking it pretty seriously." Grace was speechless, but with Alice in charge, it wasn't surprising at all. If anyone would be happy about her supposed death, it was Alice. She'd probably throw a party to celebrate.
