Love in Blind (Caden and Grace)

Chapter 22 Are You Shunning Me?

Chapter 22 Are You Shunning Me?

The sun went down and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the ward.

Gloria stood up and looked gently at the hospital bed. The woman on the bed was sickly pale. In the

warm light of the setting sun, she huddled in the quilt and fell asleep again.

Just as she was about to leave the ward, Grace suddenly opened her eyes and murmured, "Gloria, I

have to pay my debt. I have nothing left, I only have myself. Is it okay for me to use myself?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

Gloria felt as if her heart was pricked by needles and felt many emotions at once.

Grace was so much in pain and so determined in paying back her debt... Gloria could not believe that

such a person would do that kind of horrible thing.

Grace said that everyone was scolding her for being mean and lowly... Grace? Mean and lowly? If

Grace was lowly and mean then who was noble and righteous in the world?

This silly girl... Gloria admired her pride!

Back at that time, Gloria would cry bitterly when there was no one, and she even thought about killing

herself, but Grace, a silly girl, bore all this without even saying a word. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

In other people's eyes, grace sold her dignity for the sake of money. But this woman didn't even glance

at the money once and handed it over. Others didn't understand, but Gloria knew this silly little idiot

didn't need her dignity; and what she exchanged for it was not money - it was freedom.

That man, Caden Shaw, used five million to take away an innocent woman's freedom.

These five million are an astronomical figure for her now, and she was bound firmly to this kind of

invisible shackle.

Right now, Grace, this silly woman, was exhausting all her strength to break away from the shackles.

When an egg runs towards a stone to hit it, it knows clearly that it will break, but it still doesn't

surrender. Mr. Shaw, aren't you going a bit too far with this?

As the night fell, Gloria returned to the Royal Club.

Just as she entered the office,

"Where is she?"

"Mr. Shaw? Who are you asking about?" Gloria didn't expect that Caden would be waiting for her in her

office.

"Grace James, where is she?"

It was fine until he mentioned Grace. Hearing him say Grace's name, Gloria felt angry for no reason.

The person opposite to her was her boss, and his methods were cruel, so she had no power to show

her opinion.

Suppressing her anger deep in her heart, Gloria said reluctantly, "Grace James asked for a leave

today."

"Go and call her," The man on the sofa said indifferently, "Who allowed her to take leave. Did she earn

five million?"

Gloria gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Shaw! Grace is ill!"

"You seem to be quite resentful towards me..."

"No!" Gloria's expressions changed as she quickly said, "Grace fell ill in the staff dormitory last night. If

I hadn't rushed to the dormitory in time, she would have lost her life. When the ambulance took her to

the hospital, she had a high fever of 42 degrees. The doctor said that if I was even a little bit late, he

would not have been able to save her."

Something popped into Caden's mind as he heard that she was ill; his black pupils shrank suddenly.

One second... Two seconds... Three seconds, Caden suddenly sprang up with his tall body.

Without saying a word, he walked out of the office. When passing by Gloria, he asked, "Which

hospital?"

Umm... What did he mean?

Gloria subconsciously said, "The First People's Hospital, inpatient department Ward No. 7012." In order

to give Grace a good recuperation environment, plus that Grace's condition was very bad at that time,

Gloria decided not to save money and arranged a personal ward for Grace. According to the doctor, IV

drip for some days would help her recover better and faster.

Gloria looked at Caden's retreating back and suddenly called out, "Mr. Shaw, I just came back from the

hospital. When I left, she had just fallen asleep." She meant to imply that it was not a good idea for him

to visit her and interrupt her rest.

"After she has rested a bit, I'd go and tell her about today's work and will make some soup for her and

send it to her." Gloria said.

While Caden's long legs did not show any signs of stopping. Gloria repeated, "You don't have to go. I'll

send someone with the soup to her."

'What even, Caden Shaw? What do you want?' Gloria thought, looking strangely at Caden's back

disappearing around the corner.

...

Downstairs, Caden got into the car and made a phone call, "Humbert, go to the Pearl Restaurant, buy

some hot porridge and send it to the inpatient department of the First People's Hospital, 7012 ward."

"Okay, who is the patient?"

"Don't ask questions, just buy and deliver it!" Caden's powerful voice suddenly rang through the phone

as he ordered, "You have half an hour to deliver."

"Fuck! Am I Superman? I can't fly!" Thankfully, Caden had already mercilessly hung up the phone so

he did not heard Humbert explode with complains.

Shit!

Humbert quickly put on his clothes and ran downstairs.

As he went downstairs, he called the Restaurant and ordered the food... "Yes, that's all. I'll be there to

receive it in fifteen minutes. Please be quick. "After that, he hung up the phone and began to curse

Caden and his ancestors in his heart.

Who was the patient anyway? Who made the indifferent and cold Caden order people around for

them?

Even when Wallis was ill back then, Caden didn't move this fast to order food for her.

...

Caden walked into Grace's ward and nodded in approval in his heart for the single person ward chosen

by Gloria, praising Gloria for knowing how to do things.

Gloria, however, did not choose this ward for Grace to make Caden happy.

He walked toward Grace's bedside and gazed at the woman on the bed, his dark eyes full of

inexplicable and complicated emotions.

Caden never thought that a person could change so much in just three years.

In three years, her small and delicate face had become somewhat unrecognizable; the skin had lost its

luster. Only by looking carefully, one could still find the remnants of the features of the beautiful

daughter of the James family, but there was no longer the original aura around it.

Puffy under-eye bags, messy eyebrows, dry lips, rough skin... in just three years!

At that moment, the woman on the hospital bed moved her head slightly to the side; the bangs covering

the forehead slipped aside, revealing the scar on her forehead.

Caden's eyes became sharper. He frowned and looked at the eye-catching scar for a long time. He

couldn't help but stretch out his hand. As soon as he touched the scar on Grace's forehead, she woke

up.

In an instant!

She dodged his hand in horror!

How did he come? What did he want to do!

Caden could not believe it.

She dodged his hand?

As if he was not convinced, he reached out to touch Grace again... In an instant Grace almost

subconsciously picked up the quilt over her head and hid behind it.

Caden was furious and looked at the woman hiding in the quilt. His face was cold and horrible!

This damned woman was really hiding from him!

Staring quietly at the woman who curled up herself into a ball in the quilt, he could see her shaking

beneath the quilt.

Grace hid under the quilt and began to regret it. Why did she hide in the quilt? If Caden wanted to do

something to her, then even hiding in a grave won't help her. What was the use of hiding in a quilt?

With a rustling sound, Caden pulled away Grace's quilt off her head with one big hand. His voice was

cold and piercing as he opened his thin lips and asked slowly "Are you shunning me?"
