Regret Came Too Late

As Grace listened to Liam complain, she apologized over and over. She was shocked to hear that Quentin was bedridden. That explained why Alice had shown up today.

Grace was now holding the partnership contract between Lambert Group and Henderson Group. If she wasn't mistaken, this was the project Quentin had worked so hard on for two years. But now, Henderson Group was walking away with all the benefits, handed to them by Alice herself.

This would crush Lambert Group's hard-earned chance to climb the corporate ladder. She wondered if Quentin even knew what was happening.

With this realization, Grace couldn't sit still any longer. She asked Ethan for time off and drove straight to the Lambert residence.

The mood at the Lambert residence was downright gloomy. Everyone who saw her return looked like they had seen a ghost. Grace asked where Quentin's room was and headed upstairs.

The smell of medicine hung in the air. She pushed the door open gently and heard Quentin coughing. It had been such a short amount of time since she had last seen him, yet his health had gone downhill so quickly.

When he saw her, Quentin froze, then he gave a bitter smile. Was he hallucinating before death came for him too?
