Chapter 304
While driving home, Liam eagerly called Grace. “Grace, I’m bringing the medicine back.”
Grace waited for him in the villa. When she saw him looking exhausted, she could tell he hadn’t rested even for a moment. “Give me the medicine. You go upstairs to take a shower and get some sleep.”
He indeed needed a rest now as his eyes were bloodshot. “Alright, Grace. Wasn’t I amazing this time?”
He was like a child who was eager to earn her approval. He seemed to have always been like this. He would look at her proudly whenever he achieved something, but she actually rarely praised him.
She ruffled his head and complimented him, saying, “Yes, you’re really amazing. You’ve grown up.”
He felt that all his effort had been worth it. The next second, he lay on the couch and fell asleep.
She grabbed the blanket next to her and covered him, then she took the medicine for insomnia and headed to Palm Bay. The security guard recognized her and let her in.
Ethan still hadn’t returned at this hour. She greeted the housekeeper and then started brewing the medicine in the kitchen. The old alternative medicine practitioner had written the method of brewing the medicine on a small note, and she was doing it with great care.
When Ethan entered the house, he was greeted by the smell of herbal medicine. Frowning, he slowly maneuvered his wheelchair toward the living room.
Jodie had come back with him tonight, and she fanned the air in front of her nose with her hand. “What’s that smell, Uncle Ethan?”
Just then, she saw Grace walking out of the kitchen, and her gaze instantly turned hostile. “Grace, what are you doing here in Palm Bay?”
After the last incident in Siltham, Ethan hadn’t answered Jodie’s calls for days. Just when things were starting to get better, she ran into Grace again.
Jodie’s chest heaved violently, and she bit her lower lip hard. If Ethan weren’t here, she would have cursed Grace with the most vicious words.
Grace didn’t expect Jodie to be here, but she still brought out the medicine she had prepared. “Mr. Henderson, this is the prescription Liam specifically got from an old alternative medicine practitioner. I heard it’s very effective for treating insomnia. You try taking it for a few days. If it works, I’ll have him go to the countryside and bring some back again.”
She walked past Jodie with the mug of medicine and was about to place it on the dining table to let it cool. Jodie was somehow triggered and knocked the mug
over.
The scalding hot medicine spilled onto Grace’s hand, instantly burning the back of her hand red.
Jodie uttered smugly, “You totally deserve it Do you think that I don’t know what you’re up to? You just Want to get on Uncle Ethan’s good side so that he’ll settle Lambert Group’s problems. Hmph!”
After saying that, she quickly stepped back and stood in front of Ethan. “Uncle Ethan, don’t be fooled by her.”
Ethan glanced at Grace’s scalded hand and instructed coldly after a brief pause, “Apologize.”
Grace thought he was asking her to apologize. She pursed her lips and was about to speak when he added, “Jodie, apologize.”
Jodie thought she had misheard it and stared at him in disbelief, her eyes instantly turning red. “I won’t apologize. Can’t you see that she has ill intentions? Don’t you think she’s evil? She caused you to lose your legs caused Eleanor tragic death, and caused Alice to end up in a psychiatric hospital. I wonder where she gets the nerve to show up in front of you. People like her should just die!”
Jodie was on the verge of losing her mind, and there was no way she would apologize to this bitch.
But Grace had actually come to apologize. Since she needed their help, she couldn’t act haughty in front of Jodie again.
