I've Been There Before

Chapter 200 Why Still Go

A frozen heart could be melted by warm blood.

She looked at Caden’s bleeding palm, then her gaze moved to his face. Grace noticed Caden’s hesitation. The warmth in her heart cooled down again.

‘In the end, he hesitated… He did not believe me?’

Grace pursed her lips bitterly.

Gloria, with her face snow-white, untied the ropes around Grace’s hands.

Seeing Gloria’s grey lips, Grace helped hold the former up, and said to Caden,

“Gloria was kicked in the stomach, she was hurt. Let’s go the hospital first, and the wound on your hand.”

As for Sam… She didn’t care about the life or death of this guy.

What Caden didn’t expect was that it was his hesitation just now that pushed this wretched and doubtful woman from him again. He also saw that Gloria looked awful, covering her stomach. Then, he shook off Sam as he heard that Gloria was kicked by Sam. “Can you still walk?” He asked Gloria.

Gloria’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, she bit her teeth and nodded: “Yes, boss.”

Caden nodded, “Grace, go out with her first. I will go drive the car.” With that, he also made a call to Kirk, telling the location: “Come here immediately.” He grabbed the rope that was used to tie Grace up and used it on Sam quickly, tying the latter onto that same chair.

After doing this quick and neat, he patted the dust off his hands and headed toward the gate of the warehouse. Right before he was about to catch up with Grace and Gloria, who were outside.

Suddenly, a group of people scurried to the gate, blocking the exit.

Caden looked at those people, coldness was all he got in his eyes. Without a word, he stared at them warily.

They were obviously here for him. The strong guy in the front stepped forth, standing in a distance about half a meter from Caden:

“Mr. Shaw, our boss said you can’t walk out this warehouse easily.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You guys are, his men?” Apparently, Caden knew who those people worked for.

His gazed scanned across the crowd and looked toward Grace and Gloria. The worry in his eyes showed the care under his heart. He glanced at the crowd, which was composed of a dozen of short hair strong guys: “It’s the business between men, no need to implicate the women of the family. Let them go.”

The leading figure stretched out his hand to Caden: “Car key.”

Caden threw the key to the leading person, the latter fetched it indifferently and turned around, shouting: “Hey, catch it.” Grace stretched her hand out to grab the car key. Her gaze flew across the crow and landed on Caden:

“Is it alright for you to be alone?”

Caden showed her a calm smile: “Sure, I will be fine.” After that, he looked at Gloria: “Take her away now.”

This was now a place of conflict. He would not feel relieved as long as she stayed here for one second.

Only when she left this place of conflict, it was real safeness for her.

“Grace, let’s go. We can’t do anything in here but to make troubles for the boss.” Gloria said nervously, urging Grace to get in the car with one hand covering her stomach. Her words touched Grace’s heart… Gloria was right, they would only make more troubles for Caden if they stayed here.

“Stop watching, drive.” After getting into the car, Grace took a deep look at Caden, who was already surrounded by the crowd.

She stepped onto the pedal, “Gloria, I will drive you to the hospital first.”

She didn’t realize that her driving speed was much faster than the other cars on the road.

Judging from the car speed only, Gloria could clearly sense the anxiety deep in Grace’s heart.

“Gloria, make a quick call. Tell Caden’s subordinates to find some helpers, all the helpers.”

“Don’t be nervous. Boss is not as weak as you think.” In fact, Caden had been practicing how to fight since childhood. Later, he even went through some actual combats. If he would be knocked down so easily, then it wouldn’t be Caden Shaw.

Although she said so, Gloria still picked up the phone and make a call. She hung it up after saying two sentences. “What did I tell you, Grace. Don’t look down on boss, right? He had already texted his subordinates before he entered the warehouse. I just called Kirk. He told me that he was on his way right now.”

After hearing that, Grace relaxed a bit.

While they were talking, the two had arrived at the hospital. The doctors examined Gloria’s body and said it wasn’t a big deal. However, that pain on a woman’s stomach due to a kick was indeed imaginable.

Hearing that Gloria was fine, Grace also felt relieved.

“Your shoulder.” Gloria looked at Grace, whose shoulder muscle was hurt by the kick, and she said: “Sam Venus was really malevolent.”

“I am fine.” Grace smiled.

“Gloria!” All of a sudden, Gloria was hug by Grace, who said in the former’s ears: “Knowing you is the best thing I have done in my life, Gloria.”

Gloria understood as soon as Grace acted so emotional. Gloria then put her arms around the woman in front of her as well:

“You… Made your decision?”

“Yeah…. I am sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry… But, isn’t the incident happened that year figured out? Your innocence is also verified. Your misunderstanding with the boss will also resolve… And, you still want to go?”

Grace shook her head and smiled bitterly: “The grudge between me and him could never be resolved the moment he started to distrust me and put me into that prison heartlessly.”

“But the misunderstanding is already resolved!”

“Woman, always likes to lie to herself. “

“I wish I could keep deceiving myself, but I can’t.”

“The pain on my body kept reminding me every day the things that have already happened. Self- deceiving is the most pathetic and miserable thing in this world.”

Let alone, he still distrusted her even today.

When she asked whether he was willing to believe her, he hesitated, which could reveal the hesitation he held for her deep in his heart.

She took out her ID card, “Look, Gloria, he couldn’t lock me up anymore!”

For no reason, Gloria’s heart suddenly shrank in pain because of Grace’s words!

Grace could tell any sort of grievances, and she could curse Caden with all the nasty words… The moment she could prove her innocence, she could finally vent out all the humiliation and grievances all these years.

However, she chose to leave. The moment of leaving, she was as happy as a child, holding an ID card that was owned by everyone and saying: “Look, Gloria, he couldn’t lock me up anymore!”

What on earth made someone want to leave another person so badly!!

“Where are you going?”

Grace said without even thinking, “Erhai.” After a pause, she thought of something else and added: “But don’t tell anyone else. The sky in Erhai is azure blue, the water is pure, and the wind is refreshing. It shouldn’t be polluted by any bitterness.” Therefore, don’t tell anyone about this, and don’t let anyone come for her. She just wanted to stay in that place alone quietly.

“One last question,” Gloria said, “Do you… still love him?”
