The man’s dark phoenix eyes stared at the space beneath his feet.

It was where Grace had stood that day.

At this moment, Brian felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.

He never expected so many things to happen after not getting out. of the car that day.

‘Grace is… the little girl who saved me when I was a child! It can’t be wrong. It must be!’

His intuition had recognized her the first time, but he did not believe it. He believed some superficial evidence instead and thus missed her!

“Brian, how long are you going to stand here?” Patrick could not help asking.

“You can go. I want to stand here all night,” whispered Brian.

“All night?” Patrick was shocked. “You haven’t even recovered. Are you trying to kill yourself by standing here all night?”

Brian did not answer, but his tall body remained standing where it was.

Patrick could not help but sigh to himself, knowing that what had happened today greatly impacted Brian.

Brian was tormenting himself.

Patrick was contemplating whether to knock his friend unconscious and drag him into the mansion. Suddenly, Brian asked the security guard nearby, “Tell me everything she said and did during the whole night she stood here.”

The security guard was stunned. He understood who Brian was referring to. After all, the woman was the only one who stood here all night until dawn. She left after Young Master Hart avoided seeing her.

“The woman just stood here. She didn’t look for a place to sit down or buy anything to eat or drink. But she did make several calls on her phone. She seemed to be asking about a loan, but she looked pretty disappointed when she finally got off the call,” the security guard said.

“Loan?” Brian was stunned.

“Yes, she stopped your car the other day because she wanted to borrow money from you, Young Master Hart. She seemed to want to borrow two million dollars,” the security guard said as he recalled.

Brian’s expression immediately changed as soon as he said that.

‘Two million? Why would Grace want to borrow two million all of a sudden? Did something happen?’ The moment he closed his eyes, his mind flashed back to the despair on her face last time.

‘At that time, I was probably her only hope to borrow the money!

‘But what did I do? I simply killed all her hope!

‘With her character, she would never borrow money from me unless it was absolutely necessary.

‘Something… Something must have happened that I don’t know about!

‘She stood there all night. She stopped my car desperately not for Chase Harper, but to borrow two million dollars!

‘But I believed in Stella. I didn’t even get out of the car or listen to what she had to say. I just left!’

At that moment, Brian wanted to slap himself in the face. ‘Why was I so stupid? Why didn’t I listen to her?’

He fished out his phone from his pocket, but his fingers seemed to have no strength. With a thump, his phone dropped to the floor.

Brian crouched down to pick up his phone, but it took several times before he finally picked it up.

With difficulty, he found a phone number in his contact list and dialed it. “Look one thing up for me. I need to know the reason…”

Brian was silent after finishing the call, but his hand that was holding the phone revealed his nervousness.

It was about half an hour later when his phone rang.

After Brian answered it, a man’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Young Master Hart, I’ve found out what you wanted me to check. Miss Grace’s friend, Lina, was admitted to the hospital for serious injuries a few days ago. The medical bill was quite high. I think Miss Cummins came to see you that day to get the money to pay for Lina’s medical bills. But this morning, Lina’s hospital expenses had all been paid for and she was transferred to the best neurology hospital in Emerald City. The person who settled the fees and transferred Lina to another hospital is Mr. Jason.”

At that moment, Brian only felt like he was struck by thunder. ‘So…

that’s the truth?’

It turned out she had stood here all night for Lina. She probably had all her hopes on him!

However, what did he do instead?

“Ah! Ah!” Roars came out of Brian’s mouth, which also startled Patrick and the security guards nearby.

When had the ever elegant and noble Young Master Hart scream hysterically like a madman while he slapped himself over and over again?

“Brian, don’t do that!” Patrick quickly grabbed Brian’s hand. “What are you doing?”

“Patrick…” Brian looked at the person in front of him, in between laughter and tears. He looked like a broken-hearted child. “What do I do? I missed her… I really missed her this time… Have l…. missed out on her forever… It’s only been a few days. Only a few days… Why didn’t I believe her? Why didn’t I get out of the car that day to hear what she had to say to me? Why did I destroy her expectations when she thought of me as her only ray of hope…”

Brian shouted, roared, and cried… Patrick had never seen his best friend like this. All he could do was stay by his side and comfort him as much as he could.

After having dinner at Reed Residence, Grace washed up and put on the pajamas Jason prepared. She walked out of the bathroom and went to Jason’s bedroom next door.

Some of her personal belongings, clothes, and the like had been moved into this bedroom.

The bedroom was not strange to her, but she had never slept in here before. The room was decorated in gray, looking a little cool. However, there were some red objects in the room today.

Grace was slightly surprised by the red comforter, red pillowcases, and a few small red objects.

‘I’ve… really married Jason!’ These red objects gradually reminded her that she was indeed married.

Jason was not in the room, but there was a light coming through the bathroom. He must be in the bathroom.

Just then, Grace’s phone rang. She picked it up, and Mr. Sweeney’s voice came from it. “Is… Is this Grace?”

Grace quickly replied, “Yes, it’s me. Uncle Qin, did… Did something happen to Lina that you’re calling me? Is it serious?”

Grace immediately began to worry about her best friend’s current condition.

After all, the doctor had said that Lina was not out of the woods even after the surgery.

Mr. Sweeney said, “Lina is fine. Don’t worry. I’m just calling to… thank you. Thank you for helping Lina!”

Mr. Sweeney thanked her with all his heart. Even though they were once upset with Grace for ruining their daughter’s future, it was the person they hated who helped Lina after something like this happened.

Grace’s eyes could not help turning red when Mr. Sweeney said this to her.

Mrs. Sweeney’s voice also came from the phone. “Grace, I… was in a bad mood previously and spoke harshly to you. I hope you don’t mind. I’m glad that Lina has a friend like you!
