Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 383

Grace parted her lips to speak but found herself at a loss for words.

Recalling Anthony's advice, she suddenly proposed, "Why don't you move into my building? If you prefer not to see me too often, I can get you the unit above mine. I'm concerned about you living by yourself in that dark place."

Anthony had been right-given his condition, isolation wasn't a good idea.

On the other end, Ed fell silent, as though weighed down by hesitation.

Grace knew she couldn't simply force anyone into anything.

She drew in a deep breath and said, "Forget it. I won't force you if you don't want to. I'll visit more often when I can. But you must promise me—if you're not feeling well, you must take your medication. No more enduring it on your own."

Another long minute of silence followed.
