I've Been There Before

In the hospital

Humbert helped Grace to find a proper place. “You're so lucky.”

Humbert couldn't help rolling his eyes, “Do you not understand your current health? You drank alcohol?”

He stood up, walked away, and slammed the door after saying that.

While Caden was smoking by himself out there.

Humbert stretched his hand towards Caden, "Let me have one."

Caden took the cigarette box out and threw it to him.

Humbert lit up a cigarette without any hesitation, “What's the situation?” he took a glance at the door behind him.

He remembered the first time he saw Grace after getting out of the prison, the originally arrogant Grace knelt in public so she would not have to drink alcohol.

Caden kept smoking without saying a word.

Humbert didn't care about his indifference either.

After spitting the smoke out, he said, "I heard that you will set her free if she could give you five million in a month?" he flicked the ashes and continued, "Did you set her free?"

"That's impossible." Caden, who had been silent, suddenly answered coldly.

"..." Humbert opened his mouth in surprise to Caden's stirred emotion.

He patted Caden's shoulder and said, "Hey, have you realized that you're acting really strange about anything related to her?" Caden twisted his eyebrows and said, "Just get to the point, don't beat around the bush!"

"Ahem...”

You’re the one who told me to get to the point. Humbert once again cleared his throat and said, "I think you care about Grace too much. You're different than you used to be, bro! You're such a smart person, haven't you noticed your abnormalities?"

He did not believe that Caden was as not aware of his own changes.
