Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 5

Grace had no way to explain herself. Upon seeing how exhausted Joanne was, she didn't want to argue the point.

Joanne placed a fresh set of pajamas on the bed. "Your room has its own bathroom. Go shower and get some rest. I'm too tired to chat tonight."

Grace nodded and simply said, "Thank you."

When she saw Joanne enter one of the bedrooms, she knew the other room had to be hers.

She grabbed the pajamas and took a shower. Finally, she felt a little more comfortable.

Just as she was about to sleep, her phone buzzed with a new message.

It was from her younger brother, Liam Lambert.

"Grace, I'm home for break. Just got back. It's Alice's birthday today. Why aren't you here? Mom said you ran away from home again. Are you serious? Can you stop already? Just come back. The housekeeper's cooking is awful. I still prefer your food. I want mashed potato salad for breakfast, okay?"

"Alice cried tonight. Just come back and apologize first. Aren't you tired of making a scene all the time? Yancey doesn't even like you. Sometimes, I feel embarrassed because of you."

As she clutched her phone tightly, she felt a sharp pain stab through her heart. It felt like the whole world adored Alice.

Meanwhile, she was just trash that people couldn't even be bothered to kick aside.

Even without her memories, she could still feel the pain.
