Chapter 990

On the hospital bed, Grace gripped the hem of Darcy’s shirt. She refused to let go. Darcy had no choice but to stay by her side all the time!

Darcy said, “Ms. Grace, rest well…”

Grace felt a sour sensation in her nose. She looked at Darcy pitifully and said, “Darcy, please don’t call me Ms. Grace. Just call me Grace.”

Darcy was at a loss for words. His eyes turned serious. His mind instantly went blank.

“Darcy, don’t leave,” Grace said. “Can you stay by my side?

“I’m scared. Don’t leave me.”

“Don’t worry!” Darcy said. “I’ll always be with you. You can rest peacefully. With me around, I won’t let anyone harm you again.”

“Okay,” Grace said. She was touched. She nodded weakly and closed her eyes in relief.

With Darcy by her side, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Meanwhile, Cassius still did not know that Grace had already been rescued.

Now, his emotions were in turmoil. He was restless. Even more so, he could not even guess what Jaydon would do next.

He could only place all his hopes on Grace. He hoped that he could use her to threaten Jaydon and make him compromise.

He waited for another ten minutes.

Cassius could not stay calm and composed any longer. He took the initiative to call Jaydon again.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

“Hello!” Jaydon picked up the call. His voice was exceptionally calm, and he felt extremely confident.

Cassius paused for a few seconds, trying his best to be in control of the situation. “How is it?” he said. “Have you thought it through?”

“I’ve thought it through,” Jaydon said.

Cassius was at a loss for words. He felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He was extremely anxious.

Jaydon said calmly, “I’ll do as you say. I agree to your terms.”

Upon hearing that, Cassius finally heaved a sigh of relief. He said, “Haha. That’s more like it! A wise man knows how to take action strategically in dealing with difficult circumstances.”
