Regret Came Too Late

The faces of the men were full of bitterness. No one had thought Grace would be so ruthless.

They immediately split up, sweeping their flashlights through the darkness as they searched for Grace.

However, Grace had actually only run for a few hundred miles before quietly sneaking back into the pitch-black house. There was no one at the house at the moment. Hiding behind the door, she could see the three men lying on the ground.

The most dangerous place was often the safest. With everyone out searching for her, they wouldn't be back for a while.

She kneeled beside the men and tried to rummage a phone out of them. When she finally found one, she immediately called Ed.

She didn't know where she was, but something in her told her that when trouble came, the first person she should call was Ed.

Ed had been very busy since Christmas Eve, but he still answered the call. He didn't say anything, but it was apparent his breathing had immediately become

heavy.

Grace quickly told him everything that had happened in under 20 seconds and then asked, "Can you find me?"

"Wait for me," Ed simply replied.

His reply immediately put her at ease.

But she still quickly called the police, hoping they would trace the phone's location and come to her rescue.

Liking Ed and believing in him was one thing, but she had to value her own life more, so she needed a backup plan.

After she was done with everything in less than a minute, she immediately hid behind the door beside her. There was a chance those men would come back. All she needed to do was wait patiently.

Lucian and his gang searched for Grace for an hour and couldn't find her. Suddenly, Joanne gave Lucian a call.
