Regret Came Too Late

Grace felt warmth spread through her chest. "I miss you too. Have you been wearing the couple's slippers I gave you?" she asked.

"Yeah, I've been wearing them."

They exchanged a few more words before Grace hung up the phone. She finally felt exhausted and wanted nothing more than to go home and sleep. She had to visit Yule Group the following day to discuss a project. She couldn't help but wonder how Simon would try to make things difficult for her this time.

She made her way to Yancey's hospital ward and was taken aback by the extent of his injuries. Some were from the family punishment he had received from the Henderson family previously, while many were fresh, adding to the visible damage to his body.

From his neck down to his abdomen, there wasn't a single patch of unmarked skin. It was clear that those who hurt him had been ruthless.

And yet, despite all this, he still dragged his battered body all the way to Henderson Group to look for her.

Grace's resentment toward him faded instantly. The truth was that he was just a pampered young man, having never experienced real hardship, so he took everything at face value.

She turned to the doctor and asked, "Have all the wounds been treated? Is there still any danger?"

The doctor wiped the sweat from his brow. "The wounds are treated, but Mr. Henderson is very reckless. The nurses caring for him were reprimanded by Mrs. Henderson multiple times. Ms. Lambert, if he listens to you, please talk some sense into him. An infection is serious if it turns into tetanus, it'll be a bigger problem."

Grace pulled at her lip and nodded. "I'll talk to him tomorrow."

But before she could finish her sentence, Yancey woke up, his dazed eyes slowly focusing on her.

"Grace, don't go. I need to talk to you."

Grace had been annoyed with him ever since she lost her memory, but seeing him so vulnerable made her frustration dissipate. She sighed, her tone softening as she asked, "What is it? Hurry up, I'm tired. I need to get some rest."
