Chapter 71
After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t quite belleve it. Although Jacksonville is next to Capern City, it should still take over two hours by car, right? But it’s only been an hour and a few minutes!
Seeing Grace covered in injuries, her heart trembled in fear.
Brian quickly arrived. When he saw Grace, who was on the verge of death, his heart sank and rushed over to her side.
Nancy hurriedly retreated to the side.
“What happened? Who hit you?” Brian asked in a low voice, embracing her by her shoulders.
Grace hissed. “It hurts…”
When Brian heard this, he pulled up her sleeve. Her fair arm was covered in bruises.
He lifted up her clothes; there were no injuries on her stomach, but there were several marks on her chest from being kicked. Most of them were on her back. Her back was saturated with bruises, a sight too dreadful to behold.
“I’m sorry, Grace. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let you go out alone.” Nancy couldn’t help but cry when she saw her injuries.
“Even if the two of us come out together, the result will be the same. Grace shook her head weakly.
“Stop talking. I’ll take you to the hospital.” Brian carried her bridal style.
“No…” Grace endured the pain and tugged at his sleeve. “I don’t want to go to the hospital.”
“You are seriously injured! You need to go to the hospital immediately!” Brian carried her to the car without paying any heed to Grace’s pleas.
“Brian, I beg you. I don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m scared…” Grace used all her strength to sit up in the passenger’s seat and begged while tugging on Brian’s sleeve.
Grace choked on her tears, her eyes were filled with fear. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, as if going to the hospital was the most frightening thing in the world
Brian could not bear to see her so fearful. He held himself back from starting the car and asked, “Why won’t you go to the
hospital?” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
If she goes to the hospital, she will definitely be put through all kinds of tests. Once her blood is drawn, the truth about her pregnancy would come to light.
She cried pitifully and begged, “They will look at me strangely when I go to the hospital. I’m scared… I don’t want to go. Please, no…”
Brian looked at her and suddenly recalled the scene of her biting his arm.
It seemed that her depression has not improved.
“Okay, we won’t go to the hospital, but your injuries have to be treated. Can I take you to the clinic? There are very few
people in the clinic, so don’t worry.”
Grace heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. “Alright.”
After getting some medicine from the clinic, Brian brought her back to the hotel.
He booked the best suite and carried Grace into the room.
Nancy followed closely behind silently and asked cautiously, “Mr. Francis, do you need my help?”
Brian looked at her and said somberly, “Go back to your room first.”
“Okay”
Nancy sighed. She knew that she would probably lose her job this time.
Brian placed Grace on the bed and took out the medicine he had just bought. He walked to the bed and said, “Take off your
clothes.”
Grace looked at him in shock.
“How am I going to apply the ointment for you if you don’t take off your clothes?” Brian said puzzledly.
“Let’s call Ms. Patel over to help me with the ointment,” Grace said uncomfortably.
“Why? What haven’t I seen before?” Brian asked her unhappily.
Grace hesitated for a long while. Tired of waiting. Brian was about to head over to take off her clothes himself.
Then, she closed her eyes and took off her clothes, leaving only her bra on.
Brian looked at the injuries all over her body and gritted his teeth
