Regret Came Too Late

Bailey quickly rushed to have Joanne sent to the hospital, and Grace followed right behind, her eyes red-rimmed.

"Find out how that guy even got here. Isn't this supposed to be the female staff break room?" Ethan said.

Bailey glanced at Ethan, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"We're looking into it. Ms. Lambert, you should hurry and take your friend to the hospital."

Grace immediately ran in the direction Joanne was taken to, but as she passed Ethan, he grabbed her hand. She instinctively yanked her wrist out of his grasp. He froze for a few seconds, then silently withdrew his hands.

Grace didn't look at him again, and instead, she quickly ran toward Joanne.
