Chapter 304 Rejected
On the day Grace was discharged, Xander gave her a large bouquet. “Gracie, | hope you stay healthy and happy every day from now on. Grace accepted it with a smile. “Thank you, Xander!”
Caleb also walked over with a smiling face, his gaze lingering on the two.
“| must say, Gracie, you scared us this time. You don’t know how bad the situation was that day. It’s all thanks to Xander. He found Dr. Henry, who brought you back from the brink of death. We need to thank him.”
At the mention of Henry, Caleb realized that he had disappeared since Grace’s surgery.
He couldn't help but ask, “Where’s Dr. Henry? Why haven't we seen him?”
Xander explained, “He went on vacation. He’s always hard to find. Don’t worry about him.” “Anyway, he’s my lifesaver, so we must thank him properly someday,” Grace said earnestly. Xander nodded. “I'll arrange a meeting next time.”
They left the hospital room. A few moments later, they stopped in
their tracks.
They saw Benjamin standing up slowly, not far away. His gaze was
fixed on Grace.
After a few days of not seeing each other, he looked worn out, but his eyes were sharp and lively. TO
Caleb was about to say something when Xander stopped him.” Gracie, we'll wait for you outside.” Grace didn’t say anything until they left.
Then, Benjamin spoke, “Are you okay?”
Grace smiled lightly and said calmly, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hawkins.” “Grace, | was really worried about you.”
But Grace asked calmly, “Why are you still here?”
“| couldn’t feel at ease until | saw you.”
Grace nodded and said, “Now that you’ve seen me, you can go back.”
“Grace!” Benjamin stopped her.
His words were filled with affection. “I had never known someone
could be so important to me until | learned that your life was in danger. | realized that you have already taken an important place in, my heart.”
Grace chuckled lightly. “Mr. Hawkins, are you joking? Where were you when | survived a near-death experience during a plane crash?
“That was the most vulnerable moment of my life. But where wer you? Let me think... you seemed to be accompanying your lover in the hospital for a prenatal check-up.”
And she had just happened to witness that. “No, Grace. It’s all a misunderstanding,” Benjamin explained, but
Grace thought it was futile.
“Mr. Hawkins, | don’t understand. Why are you so persistent? Nothing
will happen between us again. Just accept it and let go!”
“Grace, can’t you-”
Grace shook her head, and he swallowed the words on the tip of hist tongue.
“Mr. Hawkins, fate brought us together, and fate tore us apart! Stop talking about our relationship from now on.” She had said what needed to be said. She walked away heartlessly, leaving him to watch as she left.
Benjamin felt a sense of defeat for the first time in more than 201
years..
He wondered what he should do with Grace.
As Grace walked out of the hospital, she saw Caleb and Xander waiting for her outside.
