I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 67

Caden weighed his body on her, he looked at her and her tears quietly.

Grace closed her eyes.

Time was ticking.

Finally, the frown between her brows dissipated.

Caden glanced at the almost empty IV saline bag.

He proceeded to pull out the injection proficiently.

His grandfather made him practice martial art as a child, he partook in real combats and got hurt quite often. To him, pulling out a needle was as easy as a pie.

“Get up,” said Caden to Grace plainly after he pulled out the needle, “How long do you plan to stay here? Go back to where you came from.”

He was driving her away.

Grace hung her head low, she quietly sat up and tried to push herself off the bed, she stood wobbly on the floor.

“Shoes.” He threw an obviously large pair of shoes to her, it was probably his shoes.

Grace stared at her feet and said, “Where are mine?”

Caden folded his arms, he sneered at Grace, “I told you already. You went to work not knowing your own condition and fainted at Gloria’s.”

“You troubled the company to call you a doctor and put on an IV drip for you.”

“But my shoes…” Grace couldn’t understand what did this have to do with her missing shoes.

“I said, you fainted at Gloria’s. Don’t tell me that you thought I was the one that carried you to my room and called the doctor for you?”

“It was Gloria?”

“Yes, Gloria is just too soft-hearted, she called the doctor for you and put you on a drip. Your shoes are probably at her place.”

“You were originally at the Royal Club’s general manager’s office, it would ruin our reputation for you, a nobody, to be lying around in there and having the IV drip on you.”

“Only my place was most suitable to let you rest temporarily.”

Caden talked so much today and he didn’t even realize, when added up it was more than he ever talked last week.

“I didn’t take you in willingly.”

Grace hung her head low and was silent again. Of course, she knew how much Caden hated her and that he treated her like an annoyance.

She knew it very well that he despised her.

“Thank you, Mr. Shaw, and… I’m sorry.”

Thank you and sorry were the only things she could say to him.

Would she be more expressive if it were Leon or Franklin instead?

But the thought of it made her all frantic again, the anger inside her was reignited even though it was completely extinguished just a few moments ago!

Suddenly, Caden hold out his long arms and pulled her towards him, she was in his arms. Before Grace could react, his hand slid down to her skinny waist and Grace’s face immediately turned as pale as a sheet. She could clearly feel Caden’s warmth from his palm on the right side of her waist.

Who did Caden think he was?

“Tell me, why did Franklin know that one of your kidneys was missing?”

Grace stopped breathing!

What Caden said made her head spun, she felt faint and listless.

Caden looked at her and a flash of jealousy appeared in his eyes, even though he didn’t notice it himself.

“Let me tell you!”

Grace was all zoned out, how did Caden found out that Franklin knew about her secret?

Did he investigate her? The thought of it made her felt unspeakable rage out of the blue.

Why! Why!

Why could he do whatever he wanted to her?!

Even if she was a convict under labour reform, even if she went to prison!

“You’re not saying anything?” Caden was also boiling with anger.

He squinted his eyes… Was there something going on between her and Franklin?
