Chapter 304

In the dim moonlight, the corners of Nick’s mouth curled into a sinister smile as his azure, phoenix-like eyes fixed obsessively, almost pathologically, on Grace’s retreating figure.

Grace heard his words but didn’t turn back. She walked quickly since she had obtained the medicine and needed to travel to the laboratory as soon as possible.

It was late at night, and she worried that returning too late would arouse Eder’s suspicions.

Eder finished his bedtime routine and laid down in bed. However, he couldn’t fall asleep. Gazing at the pitch-black night outside the window, his mind was filled with Grace’s various anxious expressions before she left.

Unable to sleep, he kept his eyes open, staring out the window in a trance.

Two hours had passed, and Grace still hadn’t returned. He grew concerned, feeling an emptiness in his chest. He sat up, wanting to grab his phone from the bedside table to call Grace and confirm her, safety, just as Eric’s call came in.

It was late, and Eric contacting him of his own accord meant it was definitely not a trivial matter.

After the call connected, Eric immediately said, “Boss, I’m sorry, it was my negligence. I just found. out that there’s a new development at the High-Level Prison!”

Eder furrowed his brow. “What happened?

“Just yesterday, Nick was released on bail” Eric replied.

His expression suddenly turned extremely cold, and murderous intent filled his dark eyes.

“Who granted bail?” Eder asked.

“It was…. Mr. Smith from the Bureau of National Affairs,” Eric answered.

Chris Smith?!

His fingertips trembled, and the phone that hadn’t been hung up yet fell onto the bed. His breathing grew stagnant, and it felt as if someone had fiercely grabbed his heart, squeezing and tearing it. Eric on the other end of the line, didn’t hear him speak and became worried. “Boss, please control your emotions! Your health is important; don’t have another attack. Maybe… there’s some misunderstanding involved!”
