Regret Came Too Late

Yancey turned and left the office immediately, determined to catch Ethan red- handed someday.

However, Grace was getting tired of Yancey always making things up. It really made her interactions with Ethan awkward.

As she turned to leave, she noticed Ethan trying to stand up. He accidentally knocked over his coffee cup, spilling coffee on his suit pants. His brow furrowed as he struggled to bend down and clean it up.

Grace quickly stepped forward and grabbed tissues from the desk. She then started wiping his pants. "Mr. Henderson, please sit down. Let me handle this."

His leg condition made it difficult for him to move, yet he still seemed reluctant to trouble others.

Ethan slowly sat back down and watched as she diligently cleaned the stain. Grace threw the used tissues in the trash, then found a mop to clean the coffee spill from the floor.

As she was about to put the mop away, she heard him say, "Ever since my legs became like this, I feel so useless."

Grace thought she was hearing things. Could someone as powerful as Ethan really have such worries?

Her chest tightened as she remembered his legs were in this condition because of her. She suddenly felt terrible. She quickly kneeled beside him with sincere
