Chapter 237
Grace stood up and left the hospital. As she walked out, she yawned and wiped away a few tears. She was really starting to feel tired.
But as soon as she got in the car, she felt someone in the backseat.
A chill ran down her spine, and just as she turned around, a hot kiss slammed onto her lips.
Her car was parked under a large tree at the hospital entrance, and its thick branches cast a deep shadow over the vehicle, completely enveloping it in darkness.
But she still knew who it was. It was Ed.
She raised her hand, trying to push him away, but he kissed her even more aggressively.
“You lied to me.”
His voice was filled with anger and a hint of frustration, as though he wanted to suffocate her with the kiss.
Grace’s heart raced. Wasn’t he living alone in that rundown little house? How could he suddenly show up here?
“Ed, I can’t breathe. Let go of me.”
But Ed didn’t let go. Instead, he dragged her from the driver’s seat to the back and held her tightly in his arms.
Grace could feel his body trembling slightly, clearly shaken with anger. It seemed like he was really furious this time.
She gently patted his back, trying to calm him down.
But for Ed, comforting gestures meant something else entirely.
Before she could react, he was already deep inside her, not willing to listen to a single word.
“Ed!”
She was getting angry now. She was exhausted, had work tomorrow, and just wanted to go home and sleep.
But Ed was too insecure and relentless, causing the whole car to shake violently.
She was about to speak, but his lips suddenly bit down on her shoulder, as if he were punishing her for that little lie.
Grace winced in pain, furrowing her brows, confused by the intensity of his emotions.
She turned her head and kissed his cheek, trying to be patient.
“Alright, calm down. I didn’t mean it. I

“Do you know what I’m angry about?”
His tone was dark and heavy, almost like a growl.

He thrust harder, and Grace couldn’t help but let out a sound.
His voice dropped even lower, almost a whisper.
“Do you know why you’re lying here letting me do this?”
Grace furrowed her brow-those words sounded unsettling. “Ed…”
“Because I know you’ve lost your memory. I play weak, and you’ll soften. Once you soften, I’ll take advantage of it and wear you down, and once you feel sorry for me, I can do whatever I want. But now you’re too busy worrying about him.”
To put it bluntly, Ed knew how he’d gotten to this point. When he saw someone
else following his lead, of course, he started to panic.
