Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)
Chapter 93 I was Blinded

Gloria felt very nervous when facing Caden, "Mr. Shaw, I just feel sorry for Grace."

She's explaining why she helped Grace to hide the source of that large sum of money from him.

Caden was not really in the mood at that time.

Grace's last bitter words kept ringing in his ears. After hearing Gloria saying "Sorry for Grace", he suddenly smiled coldly, "Gloria, none of those under my leadership is a kind person." That woman could make people feel sorry for her?

She still cursed and humiliated her former friend, who was already dead.

Would someone like her make people feel sorry for her?

He was so angry that it was inexplicable!

He wasn't that angry even when realized that she had become humble and pitiful!

The Grace in his impression was proud, arrogant, and absolutely not the type who would humiliate a dead person!

However, she had opened his eyes today... It made him unreasonably angry and disappointed.

He didn't understand what actually made him disappointed! Gloria's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. A sentence from the man before her could decide her life and death. But... She didn't regret it!

"Mr. Shaw, I was wrong for disobeying your order. I am ready for the punishment." Gloria straightened her back.

All of the sudden, Caden was distracted because he saw the Grace he remembered from Gloria.

Gloria was as brave and responsible as former Grace, while her back was also straight and... Had no regrets!

"Go to the torture chamber tomorrow morning for your punishment." he said that resolutely and coldly before lifting his long legs and walked away.

He left Gloria leaning on the white wall with limp body. She only felt relieved after quite a while.

Gloria heaved a deep sigh and wiped the cold sweats on her forehead with her hand... It's a good thing that Caden was willing to let her get her punishment in the torture chamber. On the second thought, how was that stupid Grace doing now?

Gloria didn't hesitate to go to Grace's ward while thinking.

In front of the ward door, Gloria lifted her hand to knock.

Suddenly, her hand stopped in midair and she listened carefully. That oppressive voice she heard just now was not her illusion!

Behind the door, there was an oppressive and hoarse road... Yes, it's the unique voice of that fool whose throat had been ruined.

Oppressive and depressed like a wounded beast, who wouldn't dare to whine loudly.

Gloria didn't take any step forward. She just stood in front of Grace's ward without moving like a statue.

After a certain time, that oppressive voice gradually disappeared. Gloria concentrated even harder to listen and confirm that the one in the ward had become quiet.

Gloria did not enter in a hurry. She kept standing in front of the door for around 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, she raised her arm and knocked on the door again before entering.

Gloria glanced at the person on the hospital bed, who was coincidentally looking at her too.

Their eyes met, and so Gloria smiled warmly, "Grace, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." the person on the bed didn't look hurt anymore.

She casually continued, "The doctor said that I'm lucky."

Grace's calmness made Gloria felt depressed.

If she didn't hear her suppressed roaring herself at the door before, she would've just believed her words.

Gloria gazed at Grace deeply with a hint of consideration. At last, she smiled again and walked towards Grace. She pulled a chair and sat beside Grace's hospital bed.

Gloria stretched her hand out to place it on Grace's hand, "That's good, get well soon! This time, the wound on your knees is quite serious."

Gloria wished she could grab and shake Grace's shoulders while asking her, why didn't you cry?! Why didn't you say anything?! Why did you have to pretend like everything was fine!

Were you really okay? Then why did you whine by yourself at places where others couldn't see you?! Why could I hear oppressed pain in your whines?! The saddest person there was clearly Grace, but the person whose hand trembled was Gloria.

Gloria felt like she saw her own past in Grace... That damned past she had wanted to forget but was reminded by Grace on that day!

"Are you hungry?" after a long while, Gloria suppressed her mood and insisted on facing Grace calmly, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it."

She stood up and wanted to walk away when Grace suddenly pulled her arms and called with a hoarse voice, "Gloria."

Gloria did not turn her head around.

"... Can you offer your shoulder for a while?"

Gloria's heart trembled at last. Her eyes were also a bit red... She didn't speak and just turned around.

Grace hugged Gloria's waist and buried her face in Gloria's chest. Gloria could clearly feel that her head was slightly trembling in her embrace.

Gloria couldn't see Grace's expression but she could guess that the stupid girl was crying quietly.

She slightly sighed... That's a good thing too.

Someone who couldn't cry had finally learned to cry.

"Grace, do you still remember? I've told you that I was unworthy of living in S City. I treat everything coldly but treat you specially. It's not because I'm kind, I said that I'm not a kind person but I still have some sense of humanity towards you. Grace, I thought that you were similar to the past me. But now I've realized that we're not similar at all.

I just knew that you were born rich and you were the oldest daughter of the James family in S City.

On the other hand, I was just a kid from a poor family.

I've been suffering since I was a kid, so I could overcome those things that happened afterward.

But you're different, you didn't lack anything since you were a kid. You can still keep your unyielding character after all those humiliations! Grace, you're way stronger than me."

Someone who had gone through hardships since childhood and worked hard: and someone who had grown up in favorable circumstances, but got a heavy blow and was still able to live well...

In comparison, Gloria felt that Grace was tougher than weeds. It was hard to imagine that a lady from a large group and wealthy family would have a strong characteristic of weeds.

"Gloria," Grace didn't lift her head up, she still buried her face in Gloria's chest when she suddenly said, "Gloria, they said I deliberately made a plan to kill my best friend, Wallis, out of jealousy! She was Mr. Shaw's beloved woman."

"I don't believe it. You wouldn't do something like that!"

Gloria said that indifferently.

Grace suddenly cried heavily in Gloria's arms.

Caden... I was blind! Even someone who had only been with me for more than half a year understood me better than you!!
