After sending Ethan back, Grace returned home and immediately sent Ed a

message.

"Hey, I'm gonna go shopping tomorrow. Can I get you some couple's stuff? Like matching mugs and toothbrushes," she said.

The reply came in instantly, as if Ed already had his phone in his hand.

"Sure."

Maybe he was worried his tone was too cold, so he sent another message.

"I'm happy too."

Grace let out a faint smile. Just as she lay down in her bed, her phone rang. It was a call from Paul.

Taylor had been transferred to Central General Hospital earlier that morning, and his condition was still the same.

"Grace, Maria is still waiting for you," Paul told her.

Grace had been trying to gather some information from the prison for the past two days. But the Lamberts were purely business people after all, and their influence could only reach so far.

She couldn't turn to Selene for help again, either. Selene's relationship with the Jensens was awkward right now.

As for Ethan, Grace was still in the process of atoning to him. She didn't dare to owe him another favor.

After considering all her options, the only person she could think of was Yancey. He had been surprisingly quiet these days.

She gave Yancey a call right away. His voice was hoarse, it sounded like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Grace didn't bother asking further. "Do you have any connections with anyone at Twin Rivers Prison? I want to bring someone in for a visit."

Yancey immediately sat up in bed. His back was soaked with blood, for he had been lying there for hours.
