âDonâtâ¦â
Eder moved towards her neck, his weak voice sounding spoiled. âI still prefer to hear Grace calling me Honey.â
Grace cupped his face, unbothered by the blood on his thin lips, and kissed him gently. âAlright, from now on, Iâll be the only one calling you Honey.â
A faint smile appeared on Ederâs pale lips, a satisfied expression.
Grace carefully adjusted her position to support him. âCan you walk like this?â
âI can.â
With their arms linked, they slowly made their way towards the car.
Eric watched their figures, frozen in place.
He felt like he was unnecessary!
They drove back to the Grant family together.
As soon as Eder lay on the bed, Grace began to remove his clothes.
âYou should be a bit reserved. Let Eric do these things for you,â she scolded, giving him a stern look.
âWhatâs wrong? Afraid that if you see my body, youâll want to devour me? Donât worry, Iâm not that shameless, especially when youâre so seriously injured,â Eder teased with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
âOh, so it seems my charm isnât enough,â he added, sounding slightly resentful.
Grace suppressed her laughter, lightly pecking his lips as a reward.
Eder still wanted more.
Is that all?
Grace received his accusing gaze, smiling sweetly. Her eyes sparkled like bright stars, showing an unusual seriousness.
âHoney is injured, and I would feel very guilty. I would feel like Iâm mistreating you, so itâs absolutely not allowed. You must not try to seduce me again!â
As she spoke the last sentence, she furrowed her delicate eyebrows and pouted her cheeks, accusing him.
Eric stood at the corner of the bed, silently watching their intimate behavior. Like a 3,600-watt light bulb, he sparkled brightly, exuding a strong presence.
He chuckled in He chuckled in amazement.
Mistreating, seducing.
Hahaha, these words are used brilliantly!
They suit the image of the boss, with his sickly and noble appearance!
Before he could snap out of his dog-food-eating state, the two people by the bed simultaneously gave -
him cold glares.
In unison, they said, âGet out!â
Eric was taken aback, laughed foolishly, and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. âI thought
Boss needed me to get the medicine. Since Miss Grace is here, it seems Iâm not needed. You guys continue chatting, awoof!â
He placed the medicine and medical kit he brought from the lab on the bedside table, then exited the bedroom and thoughtfully closed the door behind them.
Once he left, Grace resumed removing Ederâs clothes..
Unsurprisingly, the wound reopened, and fresh blood seeped through the layers of bandages, staining his shirt and the corners of Graceâs eyes.
âYou lied to me again. How can you say your injuries are not serious?â Grace exclaimed.
Eder calmly replied, lus face showing no change in color or heartbeat, âI have thick blood, I wonât
die. Donât worry.â
âYouâre such a fool! My eldest brother cares about me. Even if I really went home with him and had Dad and my sister-in-law protecting tuc, at most he would symbolically scold me a few times. But if he were to hit you, it would be different. Why do you insist on stopping him?â
Eder rubbed her ear that Luochen had twisted, although it was no longer red, he still felt sorry for her.
âJust consider it my impulse. I wonât do it again next time.â
He didnât know when it started, but his feelings for Grace had become increasingly uncontrollable.
She was the woman he wanted to cherish in his palms for a lifetime.
He couldnât bear to hurt even a single finger of hers, and no one, including her brother, was allowed. to touch her!
Grace knew he hadnât really listened. She sighed and shifted her gaze to the medicine left by Eric.
She had no experience in applying medicine and changing bandages for others, so Eder had to guide her while also doing it himself.
After a few hours of struggle, they finally finished applying the medicine and re-bandaging the
wound.
Eder took his medication and his complexion improved slightly. Exhausted, he rested his head on her lap and fell asleep.
Grace glanced at the time. It was already late, and if she left now, she would surely wake up Eder, who had fallen asleep.
But if she didnât go back, her eldest brother would probably get angry again.
Grace hesitated.
She lowered her head to observe Eder, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
Even though he was asleep, his features were still divine and extraordinarily handsome.
This face unknowingly captivated her.
Her thoughts were only interrupted when her phone rang.
The call was from Sister-in-law Laura.
âGrace, how is he doing? Is he seriously injured?â
Grace cleared her throat and deliberately added a hint of crying In her voice. âSister-in-law, you know how strong Chrisâs hands are. Eder was already injured before, and now his condition has worsened.
He has been unconscious since he returned to the Granit family.â
Laura understood her meaning to some extent and asked symbolically, âIs it that serious? Chris indeed acted without considering the consequences. So what are you planning to do? Will you comeTM

back tonight?â
Grace took the opportunity to say, âAfter all, itâs because of Chris that he ended up like this. I feel. guilty in my heart, so I want to stay with him temporarily and take care of him for a few days. Once he recovers, I will go back to the Smith family. Is that alright?â
âWellâ¦â
Laura covered the phone receiver tightly and spoke softly, âIf you want to stay, then stay. Iâll help you talk to Chris, but remember to behave and notâ¦â
Before she could finish, a distant roar from Chris came through the phone.
âGrace, if you dare touch him again, I will definitely break your legs! No one can stop me this time!â
His roaring voice was extremely penetrating.
Grace quickly held the phone far away and instinctively glanced at Eder, who was still unconscious. on her leg. Thankfully, he hadnât woken up.
But why did Chrisâs words sound so awkward?
It seemed as if she was a bandit forcefully taking advantage of an innocent young man?
She felt frustrated but could only complain in a very low voice, âEder is just a troublesome person. How could I possibly harm him further? I havenât gone mad to that extent, have 17â
Chris snorted arrogantly twice.
Laura said, âDonât worry, your brother hasnât fulfilled his obligations yet tonight. I will take care of him.
You take good care of Eder these days. Heâs a responsible and handsome young man. I quite like him.â
âYou dare say you like him? Laura, have you lost your mind? Come here!â
âHey, wait, I havenât finishedâ¦â
Accompanied by the beeping busy tone, the call was suddenly disconnected.
Grace was stunned for a few seconds and remembered Laura mentioning fulfilling obligations. Her face blushed with shyness.
Do long-time married couples talk about these things so naturally?
But it seemed like Chris got angry afterwards. Was sister-in-lawâs waist alright for tomorrow?
In order to stay and take care of Eder, she had to sacrifice her sister-in-lawâs waist. This was such a dilemma!
She sighed and caught a glimpse of the man sleeping peacefully on her leg. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth curved upward?
When did he wake up? He even eavesdropped on her phone conversation!
âHoney?â
Ederâs smile instantly disappeared without a trace, as if he had been sleeping soundly.
What a good actor!
Sometimes she couldnât even tell which of his words were true and which were ll es.
Grace pouted and felt a little unhappy.
If it werenât for his injury, she would give him a good education.
Let him know what it means to be a responsible and virtuous man!
