Eleven couldn’t come up with an answer, and Grace didn’t say anything else. “Forget it, let’s see what’s wrong with him.”

After tidying up her desk quickly, she drove to the hospital

In the hospital room…

and

Someone had wrapped themselves up like a Swiss roll, burying their head deep in the blanket.

The nurse sighed when she saw this. “Mr. Fallen, you still have a fever. Wrapping yourself up like that will make it difficult for you to breathe. And… just let me give you the IV drip!”

Despite the persuasion from the medical staff and stubbornly ignored them.

the “Swiss roll” on the hospital bed

As soon as Grace entered, she saw this strange scene and teased. “Oh, I’m afraid tomorrow’s news will be about the former CEO of the Fallen Company suffocating himself to death using a blanket and by refusing an IV drip.”

When Eighteen saw her arrival, he respectfully greeted her, “Miss.”

Grace nodded slightly in response and approached Edgar’s bed.

Before she could say anything, the “Swiss roll” suddenly reached out a hand and grabbed her wrist.

Edgar emerged from the blanket, his eyes misty due to the fever. He lacked his usual domineering and cold demeanor, instead appearing fragile and pitiful.

He stared at Grace’s face several times, confirming that he hadn’t mistaken her for someone else.

From now on, he would never mistake her for someone else again.

“Grace, you finally came. I woke up and didn’t see you. I missed you…”

Due to the fever, his voice sounded a bit nasal and milky, with a hint of a spoiled tone.

The medical staff and Eleven present: “???”

Was this the same man who, just ten minutes ago, had a fierce and ferocious expression, as if he wanted to devour someone?

His change in demeanor was too fast, wasn’t it?

Grace, on the other hand, was creeped out by his words. “Did your brain burn out so quickly? Once your brain goes bad, you can’t use it anymore. Just throw it away.”

Edgar: “…”

All the emotions he had mustered up were instantly gone.

“Grace, I want to talk to you alone for a moment.”

Grace thought for a moment and didn’t refuse. However, when she looked at the nurse, she directed her words to him. “First, get the IV drip done. Otherwise, we won’t discuss anything

With a low and nasal voice, Edgar replied, “Okay.”

”

The nurse immediately approached, but she saw that he was tightly holding onto Grace’s wrist, making it impossible to administer the injection.

Grace also noticed this and frowned. “Let go. How can we give you the IV drip like this?” Without saying a word, Edgar decisively took out his other hand from under the blanket. He continued to hold onto Grace’s wrist tightly with his right hand. In the basement, he had been

tormented by that drug until he was men tally confused.

When the door to the basement opened and light poured in, his only thought was to grasp that figure he had once lost. But no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that the distance between them, which seemed within arm’s reach to him, could never be bridged.

It was a taste of despair that was even more tortuous than the M drug. Now that he was awake, and had finally regained hold of her, he would never let go!

As he was thinking this, he felt a force pushing his hand away forcefully.

It was Grace.

The nurse had finished administering the IV drip, and Grace asked everyone to leave.

Seeing Edgar’s hand gripping her wrist so tightly that the skin turned purple, she frowned. “You’re hurting me. I won’t leave before we finish our conversation, but if you continue to hold on, I will leave immediately.”

Edgar hesitated for a moment, but under her cold gaze, he retreated and finally let go of her hand.

Grace sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed and got straight to the point, her tone calm.

“Edgar, you were clearly a proud person. But I don’t understand, why were you so decisive when you agreed to sign the contract? Was it really just to repay the debt? Was it worth making yourself so miserable and humiliated?”

Edgar lifted his gaze and locked eyes with her.

“Once upon a time, you loved me so much, gave everything for me wholeheartedly, but I didn’t cherish it. Now, I finally understand my own heart and have experienced the pain you went through.

back then.”

He paused for a moment, his dark eyes filled with sincerity. “Grace, I know I have a sharp tongue. I have said many hurtful things to you in the past. From now on, you can scold me and vent your anger at me every day, and I will never retort. I will repay you for everything I owe you, even if it’s just a single word. Will you give me one last chance?”

Scold him and vent her anger every day?

Was he really out of his mind? Did he enjoy being scolded?

Grace’s face turned cold, and for the first time, she spoke her mind to him. “Initially, after the divorce, I thought that we would become strangers to each other. But your mother, your sister, and your beloved fiancee didn’t let me off. You sent Tim to kill me for the sake of Nancy. Why do you think I should give you a chance? Give the Fallen family a chance?”

Edgar’s pupils slightly widened. “Wait, what did you say…”

Sent Tim to kill her?

When did this happen?

Grace ignored his questioning and continued speaking.

“Now, in my eyes, you are just my ser vant. Once the one-year agreement is fulfilled, I will forever let you go. We will have no debts between us, and we will each go our separate ways.”

No debts?

Edgar’s eyes brightened. “Are you saying that once I repay the debt of this one year, we can turn the page on our past and have a chance to start over?”

Grace sneered.

“I really don’t understand why you always pretend to love me so deeply now. But in the morning we

Chapter 129

went to get the divorce certificate, your chance was already used up. Now you’re acting spoiled and pretending to have deep feelings in front of me. Don’t you find it laughable?

After finishing her words, she stood up and turned to leave.

“Don’t go!”

Edgar rushed forward in a panic, but due to his weak body and the force of inertia, when he tried to grab her wrist again, she swiftly brought him down to the ground.

His knee hit the ground with a thud, and the sound alone was painful to hear. Edgar’s facial features tightened in pain, and it took him a few seconds to raise his face again.

“It was my blindness and ignorance back then. You stayed in the Fallen family for three years and married me for another three years, but I didn’t recognize you as the girl who saved me in Berth Street.

That was my mistake, and I repent for it. If you can’t forgive me, I understand. But I swear, I absolutely did not send Tim to kill you!”

Grace sneered. Lately, he had been putting on an act in front of her, and this time he was playing the role for the longest time, but it was also the most fake!

“Saving you back then was just a small effort on my part, and I didn’t care about it at all. Besides, if I had known that the boy in the car would grow up to be you, I might have given him another stab. So,

don’t need to hold onto this false sense of gratitude at all.”

you

After she finished speaking, she mercilessly broke free from Edgar’s grip.

Before leaving, she gave him a final threat, “Stay obediently in the hospital and take care of yourself. If you continue to refuse IV drips and medication, you’ll bear the consequences!”

Just as Grace was about to leave, a man dressed as a physician entered the ward.

Seeing Edgar sitting on the ground, with the newly inserted IV drip falling off his hand, the man hurriedly approached to help him.

“Boss, it’s me!”

The man removed his mask, revealing Eric.

L

The moment Edgar saw him, his expression turned incredibly cold, and his anger permeated his bones.

‘Investigate Tim! Even if he’s in prison, hang him up and beat him to death for me!”
