Chapter 329: Grace, You Know Nothing but Escape
Chapter 329: Grace, You Know Nothing but Escape
“Grace, Erhai is not your dreamland. You’re not seeking peace, but escaping.”
Gloria said solemnly.
She shouldn’t have said that, but as an outsider, she saw something that Grace didn’t.
Sometimes a spectator’s perspective was needed.
Perhaps this was not always true. But she saw Grace’s hesitation.
Three years ago, she helped Grace escape because she wanted her to live a peaceful life.
But she got more mature in the three years.
Her maturity kept her reflecting.
Was she right to help Grace escape three years ago?
She felt she was wrong.
This woman was too frightened to stop and take a look at the people and things around her.
In the past three years, she had seen Caden constantly searching. Everyone kept telling him to give
up. They said Grace was probably dead.
If Grace wasn’t dead, why hadn’t he found her after three years’ search?
But that man didn’t believe it. He continued searching. Apart from searching for Grace, all he had in his
life was work.
What Gloria saw was the once successful and arrogant man lowered his proud head and never game
up for the sake of his heart’s concern.
She didn’t see Caden playing around. Instead, she saw his seriousness and persistence.
This was something she had longed for in another man, but she had never had it in her entire life.
But Grace was different.
The happiness that she couldn’t have might be obtained by Grace. She and Grace shared the same
fate. Their terrible past might end in Grace’s hand.
She admitted that she had been selfish.
But more importantly, what she saw was not Grace’s heartless or her letting go, but her escape.
If this woman had truly let go at the bottom of her heart, then she would never say those words.
But apparently not.
“You’re always running away. Do you still care about anyone? Do you feel relieved?” Gloria’s
questioning was like a thunderbolt that left Grace anxious and uneasy.
She covered her ears and said, “Don’t say anything. Don’t.”
Gloria pulled down Grace’s hands from her ears. “He’s sick. He’s dying.”
The world became silent in an instant.
Grace was stunned without Gloria pulling down her hand again.
“I … I’m going to the airport, or I’ll miss the flight.”
“Something has grown in his head. It’s been over a year. Now, it’s in late stage.” Gloria murmured.
“I, I really have to go to the airport.”
She was in a hurry to leave.
This time, Gloria didn’t stop her. She shouted at the figure who had hurriedly walked away.
“He chose to have surgery. The brain surgery was complicated. His condition was terrible. The success
rate was less than 5%.”
“Enough!” Grace stopped and said, “Again? Did he ask you to come here?
“Back in Italy, he said there was blood congestion in his brain. How many times did he have to pretend
mad?
“I’d be an idiot to fall for it again!”
Gloria sneered. “Alright, alright. You’re not an idiot, Grace! Just go!”
Gloria added, “No, you’re not going. You’re fleeing.”
“Grace, you’d better hurry up and escape, the further the better. Escape from what you don’t dare to
face. But I have a question. Is it him or your own heart that you don’t dare to face?
“Don’t worry. This time, Caden will not disturb you, never.
“Grace, do what you are best at. Run!”
After saying that, Gloria turned around and left.
She didn’t know why she was angry. Or perhaps she was not angry at all, but regret.
As if it was she who couldn’t have a happy ending.
In her eyes, one of them regretted his mistake and was determined to change, while the other was
frightened and heartbroken and ran like a headless fly.
She wasn’t afraid of Caden’s death. She was afraid that one day, Grace would wake up and immerse
herself in regret for her entire life. Perhaps that silly woman wouldn’t say it out, but her heart would be
even bitterer in this way.
That silly woman … was already bitter enough.
Grace hurriedly got in the car.
She didn’t want to hear it or think about it.
She and he were a mistake. If they started wrong, at least they could have the result corrected.
She was just moving the wrong track to the right path … She didn’t do anything wrong.
She didn’t run.
She wasn’t escaping.
She … She just wanted to go back to Erhai Lake and back to Leona’s side.
She was only fulfilling her oath to Leona and fulfilling Leona’s dream. She was only repaying Leona for
saving her life.
Yes, that’s it.
Hongqiao Airport
A woman was sitting on a chair.
The airport broadcast was announcing her flight was about to take off.
The broadcast called her for the third time to board the plane.
The woman sat quietly, her eyes staring blankly at the front.
Finally, her name was no longer broadcast.
It was getting dark, and the crowd in the airport gradually dissipated.
The woman was still sitting on the chair.
Her flight had taken off and arrived at its destination.
The people around her, who changed from crowded to dissipated, flashed past her.
Half a day passed and the ground crew paid attention to this strange woman. She sat at the airport for
a long time without moving.
“Hello! May I help you?” a ground staff walked over and probed, perhaps because of her strange
behavior. After all, this was the airport. What if she was someone strange … like a lunatic?
Who knew what she would do?
The strange woman didn’t reply, and he asked again, “Hello, may I help you?”
Suddenly, the strange woman stood up abruptly and said slowly.
“No, thank you.”
She pushed her luggage and slowly left.
“How strange, this woman.” The ground staff said to his colleague who was walking over.
Grace pushed her luggage and slowly walked out of the airport. It was quiet in the middle of the night.
She raised her head and looked at the dark sky.
She slowly took out her phone and dialed Gloria’s number. The phone only rang twice before it was
connected.
She said in a coarse voice. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“I hate him so much. I should watch him die. Gloria, please take me to him.”
Gloria was shocked for a moment. Then a smile overflowed from her red lips.
“Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”
“At the airport.”
“Alright, wait for me.”
