Novel1Chapter 268 Grace turned around to walk out of the room, but Ethan grabbed her wrist. His grip was so strong that it hurt a little. She quickly yanked her hand free and took a few steps back, massaging her wrist.
The corners of Ethan's mouth dropped as he said in defeat, "I'm sorry." "It's fine. I'll go call Mr. Bennett." She left just as she finished her words and went to Tim's room.
"Mr. Henderson has swounds on his hands. Go to the front desk to get a first aid kit and help him treat his wounds." Tim didn't even open the door, but he was a bit confused about the situation. He didn't understand how Ethan had injured his hands when he had been just fine throughout the ride here.
"Ms. Lambert, I'm currently working overtright now and don't have the time. Sorry, but I'll leave it to you." Grace took a deep breath, unable to refuse. She knew that she, as one of the employees accompanying Ethan on this business trip, would be held responsible if he ended up getting tetanus.

Jodie didn't bother to hide anything anymore since Grace already knew about her feelings for Ethan.
"Is Uncle Ethan hurt? Give the first aid kit to me. I'll go take care of his wounds." Grace would be more than happy to let someone else go. So, she immediately gave the first aid kit to Jodie and went straight back to her room for ssleep.
However, after lying down for a few minutes, she heard Jodie crying. It seemed that Jodie had been kicked out of Ethan's room.
"Serves her right," Grace thought.
Just when she was about to drift into sleep, her phone made a sound. It was a message from Ed.
"Are you asleep?" "No. Is there something going on?" After sending that message, Grace seemed to think it wasn't appropriate. No one would talk to their boyfriend like this, acting as if he was not allowed to message her if nothing had happened. She took a breath and sent a new message.
"I'm on a business trip right now. I'm just letting you know so that you won't go to my place during this coming week. You won't findthere." After she was done sending the message, she prepared to lie back down to rest. However, a message from Ethan suddenly popped up.
"Are you asleep?" Grace saw that message and ignored it. It would be better for Ethan to think that she was already asleep. Ed sent another message. "I'll miss you." Grace pressed her lips for a moment before quickly replying. "This place is a coastal city. I'll pick up sshells for you." "Okay." After seeing his reply, she put her phone down and yawned. She fell asleep straight away.
The next day, Grace was woken up by her alarm. When she was done getting ready and stepped out, she saw Jodie standing in front of Ethan's door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrace was just about to walk away when the door opened and Ethan was wheeled out. She stopped right in her tracks. She had no choice but to let him be in front while she walked behind Tim.
On the way to the hotel's restaurant, Jodie kept complaining that the wind was very strong last night, making her unable to sleep for the whole night. But Ethan, as expected, didn't say a word.
By the tthey reached the restaurant, the local officials from Siltham had already been waiting there. They all stood up, wanting to shake hands with Ethan.
But they didn't dare to approach him after seeing his unhappy expression. They could only exchange a few polite words and sit down at the table.
Jodie happened to sit beside Grace. She wanted to swap seats but was afraid of her actions being too obvious. So, she could only sit down awkwardly.
Since they were in a coastal city, it was natural for them to eat seafood. The dishes served were all seafood. Grace got a bit hungry after smelling the aroma.
She was about to lift her cutlery to eat when she suddenly saw Ethan's wounds on his hands. They were redder than before, indicating he didn't tend to them last night.
He lifted his fork, but the fork fell from his palm. Since Grace had seen it, she couldn't just pretend that nothing had happened. So, she immediately placed a portion of food on his plate using the serving tongs.
"Mr. Henderson, just letknow what you want to eat."
