Regret Came Too Late

Grace wheeled Ethan back to the car, neither of them sparing a glance at Hendricks, who was still lying on the ground. The two bodyguards left behind handled it.

The two bodyguards had been serving Ethan for a long time, and eventually, they just couldn't hold their tongues anymore.

"Did you hear that?" one of them asked. "Mr. Henderson said he was a little shaken?"

"Yeah... and he was holding onto her," the other replied.

"Exactly."

They exchanged a look, totally baffled, then turned and kicked Hendricks hard to vent their anger.

...

Back in Palm Bay, the family doctor was already waiting. He quickly tended to Grace's injuries, carefully bandaging her wounds. Meanwhile, Ethan kept a tight grip on her free hand.

She wanted to ask if he had forgotten to let go, but around Ethan, she always felt like she was walking on eggshells. Maybe it was because of his legs. Or maybe it was because she still didn't know the full truth about what happened years ago. She made up her mind to be the best human sleeping aid he ever had.

Once the doctor finished up, he quickly made himself scarce, sensing he was intruding on something personal.

That was when Grace remembered she had sent Ethan the recording, but she was unsure if he saw her message.

"Mr. Henderson... about the recording..."

"It's been sent out," he said simply.

She didn't know who he had sent it to.

Grace wasn't in the best shape. She leaned back against the couch, her eyelids growing heavy. After asking the question, she yawned. "Okay... I'll deal with it after I wake up."
