I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 201

Grace, who was just holding up the ID card happily, suddenly went silent.

“Never mind, forget it…”

Grace suddenly raised and shook her head as Gloria spoke, “I don’t know.” Gloria was surprised… What did it mean that she didn’t know?

As though understanding Gloria’s surprise, Grace shook her head again, “I really don’t know.” After all these things, was it still necessary to ask this question? She curled up her lips: “But I know, I will suffer in pain whenever I stay with him. I couldn’t fall asleep for every single night with him next to me.”

Gloria didn’t see Grace’s swollen eyes until now.

“I also know that, the moment I was released from that bar, I was planning to leave this city every moment. Ever since I saw him in the Royal Club, I already lost the courage to love this man. All I could think of was to repay my debt.” She smiled mildly, and was not going to tell Gloria much about “Leona”.

Leona was the last bit of warmth and longing deep in her heart.

Gloria was confused by the debt mentioned by Grace. Didn’t Sam already admit that Wallis was killed by him?

Then, what was the debt to repay?

Gloria was confused and wanted to ask originally, but apparently, Grace didn’t want to say anything more.

Grace was leaving, and Gloria stopped her: “Hold on.” She took off the necklace and the ring, putting them onto Grace’s hand: “No matter where you go, you will need money. I don’t know whether you prepare for this. This ring and necklace can be sold for a certain amount of money in the black market.”

Seeing the ring and the necklace in her hand, Grace felt the heavy weight of these two items. Her eyes grew sore, so she wiped the corner of her eyes: “Gloria, take care.” She didn’t refuse to accept Gloria’s necklace and ring, instead, she stretched her arms out again to hug Gloria. The sensation of parting reverberated between the two.

Gloria took out all the cash she carried with, “If you are determined to leave, I won’t stop you. Since, nobody will leave the wealthy life behind and go to live in a city full of strangers. If there is indeed someone like this, then there must be a reason that this person has to leave.”

It was a handful of cash. Gloria really took out all the cash she had and gave them to Grace.

Grace felt her throat dry and sore. She could not say the words of gratitude, yet tears kept streaming down from her eyes.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. If you want to go, do it now. Do not return, do not hesitate, do not linger, do not… worry… and do no regret.” She pushed Grace away forcefully, “Go!”

Tears came out unstoppably, but Grace turned around and left hurriedly. She could feel the gaze clearly from behind, as if it was something touchable.

But… Take care!

Do not turn around, do not hesitate, do not linger, do not worry… In the future, do no regret either!

Her leaving now was very irresponsible, but did she… did she have a route of retreat?

Who could give her a route of retreat!

When she walked out of the hospital, it started drizzling. Grace stopped a taxi.

Told the driver a series of location.

She headed toward the James mansion. The car was parked fifty meters away from the mansion, and she got off the car, “Sir, please wait for me for ten minutes.”

“Alright, but you gotta hurry up.”

“Thanks.”

She trotted to the direction of the Shaw mansion, but she didn’t go in. She stopped at a tree on the left side not far away from the mansion, bent down and dug up an iron box from the ground. Her heart was racing, she held the box, filled up the ground hurriedly and scurried to the taxi.

“Let’s go.”

She closed the car door and put that nondescript iron box in a plastic bag that she took from the hospital. The driver in the front asked, “Where are you going, Madam?”

Where?

“The airport.” After saying this, she seemed to recall something: “No, no. Not the airport yet.”

“Then where are you going?”

“Sir, do you drive for long distance?”

“Yes, I do. Where do you want to go, madam?”

Where? Her brain was working fast.

In order to hide from others, though she had a new identity, still, in case…

“Hangzhou.”

At this moment, Caden didn’t expect that Grace had already left this city.

“Kern Lo.” Seeing the person in front smiling like a ruffian, Caden called his name coldly. He and Kern…

“Yo, isn’t this my good brother?”
