Chapter 98

After talking to Belinda on the phone, Grace tidied up the desk and was ready to go upstairs to find Patric.

Chad had stayed in Frant City for a long time. Grace planned to go to the Mellis family with Patric to see how Hedda was doing and to try to set Chad free as soon as possible.

When she arrived at the president’s office on the top floor, Alex was not waiting outside.

She didn’t think much about it, and the office door was unlocked.

As soon as she pushed the door open a little, she heard a steady sound coming from inside. It seemed that someone was making a phone call.

“Sergio, isn’t it too radical of you to do this? After all, it’s related to Grace. I think she may have her own plans…”

Was it about her?

What could make Patric act so mysteriously?

Just as she was about to continue listening, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside. Alex was keenly aware of her presence.

Patric put away his phone with a natural expression on his face and looked at her gently. “When did you get here? Why didn’t you come in?”

Grace was a little embarrassed and touched the tip of her car unnaturally.

“I just came here to invite you to go to the Mellis family’s place to check on Hedda when you have time.”

“Okay, I’m done with my work. I can go now.”

Grace nodded obediently.

When she met his eyes, she found that his expression was calm.

Had she heard it wrong before?

She didn’t think too much about it. Even if Patric was hiding something from her, he would never

hurt her.

Just as they were about to set off for the Mellis family’s, they received a message from Chad.

Hedda was no longer in critical condition. Chad had stayed in Frant City for too long. At this time, he was already at the private airport to return to Wind City.

They had no choice but to turn around and go to the private airport.

In the back seat, Grace turned her head and glanced at Patric next to her from time to time.

Patric was reading the newspaper with his head down when the sun outside the window shone in, covering his hair with a warm halo. His handsome profile was unusually focused.

He noticed her gaze and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

After hesitating for two seconds, Grace asked tentatively, “Patric… don’t you have anything to say to

me?”

Patric paused.

“No.”

Alright then…

The Millionaire and His Billionaire Ex wife

Chapter 58

She stopped talking, turned away, and looked out of the window again.

Since he didn’t want to tell her, then forget it.

Soon, they arrived at the private airport. Grace went up and gave Chad a big hug.

“Thank you for your hard work, Chad.”

Chad reached out and rubbed her soft hair. When he saw her, he finally smiled.

“Silly girl.”

The three of them talked for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Grace and Patric watched Chad board the plane.

“Wait a minute! Mr. Smith, Ms. Salen! Something happened to the Mellis family!”

As soon as Chad stepped onto the stairs, Alex suddenly rushed over. Chad had to stop, turn around, and ask, “What’s wrong?”

“The Mellis family sent someone to say that Ms. Hedda suddenly fainted at home. Mrs. Mellis said that maybe there was something wrong with the operation before, which damaged the nerves in her brain.

She wants Mr. Chad to have a look again.”

Fainted?

Grace frowned.

How could something go wrong with the operation that Chad had performed?

Had someone framed him on purpose?

Wasn’t that person courting death by framing Chad for not being skilled in medicine?

Patric was also very puzzled, while Chad’s face darkened.

“Let’s go and have a look.”

Chad had no choice but to cancel the flight temporarily and go to the villa of the Mellis family with Grace.

In the villa, Emma was pacing back and forth outside Hedda’s homey room.

When she saw them coming over, she ran over happily to welcome Chad.

“You’re finally here. Hedda was practicing walking at home today when she suddenly fainted. She’s still in a coma. I was so anxious that I had no choice but to disturb you.”

Patric’s face was still cold. He nodded slightly and walked past Emma to open the door.

Grace followed closely behind, ready to go in and check on Hedda.

However, she was stopped by Emma, who smiled flatteringly and said, “Miss Salen, Mr. Smith can handle it. You’re not a doctor, and you won’t be of much help even if you go in. Why don’t you with me outside?”

chat

Grace observed her with a frown.

With how much she doted on Hedda, Emma would be desperately anxious at Hedda’s condition, but now she could still send her away, and her attitude was so attentive.

It seemed that Hedda’s fainting…

“Forget it. On the day of the opening ceremony of the Mellis family, no matter whether Hedda was sincere or not, she still wanted to help me. I’ll take it as returning a favor,” Grace thought.

Thinking of this, she smiled at Chad and said, “You go in first. I’ll talk to Mrs. Mellis here.”

Chapter 95

Chad nodded and pushed the door open.

When Emma saw the subtle movements in their eyes, her face stiffened slightly and she asked half-

jokingly, “It seems that you and Mr. Smith have a tacit understanding. You two…”

Her eyes darted back and forth, indicating something.

Grace was expressionless.

“We’re just friends.”

Emma seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled happily. She handed Grace some fruit eagerly and said, “That’s good. Miss Salen, you’re so lucky to have friends like Chad and Patric!”

Grace just nodded in agreement and said nothing.

In the room, the lights were dim.

Hedda lay quietly on the bed as if she had never woken up.

But unlike the vegetative patient she was before, her face was much ruddier than last time, and her breathing was a little rapid.

With just a glance at her, Chad frowned, and his face darkened.

“You’re not sick.”

Being exposed so quickly, Hedda felt ashamed.

Seeing that Chad was about to leave, she hurriedly opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and pulled his sleeve.

“Don’t go!”

Chad didn’t look back or move his feet. Hedda couldn’t see the expression on his face, but she could clearly feel the coldness around him, which was as cold as an ice cellar.

He was angry…

Hedda was so anxious that her eyes turned red, and she suddenly panicked.

She only knew that if Chad left this time, she would never have the chance to see him again.

“Chad, I know that the Mellis family and the Smith family are not on the same level at all. You and I are not well-matched in social status, but I know that if I don’t tell you, there will be no chance!”

She paused and took a deep breath as if she was mustering up her courage. Then, she raised her head with a determined look in her eyes.

“I like you!

“I really like you. I know that we haven’t known each other for a long time, and you don’t know me very well, but can you stay and try to get to know me? I…”

“No,”

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chad’s cold voice.

“Because I don’t like you.”

There seemed to be a string breaking in her heart.

Hedda looked at his tall back blankly, Seeing that he was so heartless that he didn’t even want to look back at her, she didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

She knew that she had lied to him by pretending to be sick, but if she didn’t do this, she would never have a chance to fight for herself.

Her eyes were red, and she hit her lip firmly to prevent her tears from falling.

“Is it because of… Grace? Do you like her?”
