Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 481

For a full minute, the hospital ward remained deathly quiet.

At that moment, Jordan was the first to move. He gently guided Jodie back onto the bed with a voice full of paternal warmth.

"Your forehead's bleeding. What good does this kind of impulsiveness do? Look at your uncle's face."

Jodie had made her way over on sheer adrenaline alone, and now that the rush had passed, she finally turned to look at Ethan.

Ethan stayed true to his nature. Even after such accusations, he sat in his wheelchair with effortless calm as though entirely untouched by the storm around him.

Instead, Jodie's heart was pounding in her chest as clarity slowly returned. She remembered he once told her that as long as she behaved herself, he would protect her forever. Had she crossed the line?

Her gaze dropped to her injured limbs, and her eyes welled up once more.

"Grandpa, I don't care. Please... you must seek justice for me!" she cried.

Lying back on the bed, the pain in her body was nothing compared to the ache in her heart. She loved Ethan more than anyone else. Yet here they were, on opposite sides of a chasm neither seemed to have any desire to bridge.

Why Grace?

Why was it always her?

Her teeth sank deeply into her lower lip, drawing blood as her voice thickened with anger. "Uncle Ethan, you like Grace, don't you? Are you so afraid that you can't even admit it? What kind of pathetic love is that?"

The moment she said that, Tim snapped, "Ms. Henderson!"
