He reached out to wipe away her tears, but it pulled on the injury on his shoulder, causing his face to instantly wrinkle up.
“Don’t move!” Grace pushed his hand back.
Assistant Jerry walked in and said, “Mr. Palmer, the two assailants have been caught at the police station.”
“According to their confession, this incident was orchestrated by a lady named Porter.”
It was indeed Celeste.
Looking at the injuries on Lucas‘ body, Grace felt even more guilty.
A cold light flashed in Lucas’s eyes: “Find the best lawyer, give them a longer sentence, let them have a good reform in prison!”
Jerry nodded, as if he had something to say.
Grace got up and said, “I’m going to get some hot water.”
Fortunately, Lucas was fine and Grace’s emotions had also calmed down a lot, but she owed Lucas, making it even harder to repay him.
She stayed outside a little longer before going back.
Just as I arrived at the door of the ward, I heard Jerry jokingly say, “Mr. Palmer, you’re the first one to chase after a woman

Lucas’s voice was soft, but with a hint of laughter, “I knew you would come soon, just a few hits, no big deal.”
Jerry sighed, “Who would have thought that a karate champion could be beaten up by two thugs? It’s quite embarrassing to talk about it.”
“Jerry, don’t you think you talked too much?”
Grace froze.
Was Lucas deliberately getting beaten up?
To chase after her?
Grace’s first reaction was anger.
He really didn’t care about his own safety at all.
If Jerry couldn’t come in time, he would keep getting beaten.
Grace pushed open the door, and the two people inside instantly fell silent..
Jerry glanced at her and said, “Ms. Parrish, I had to go to the company to take care of some matters, so Mr. Palmer will trouble you.”
Grace glanced at Lucas coolly and said, “No trouble.”
After Jerry left, Grace didn’t say another word.
Lucas noticed her change.
“Did you just hear it?”

Grace looked at Lucas with some annoyance and said, “How many lives do you think you have? Lucas, if something were to happen to you, what am I supposed to do?”
As soon as the words were spoken, Grace felt that something was not quite right.
This sounded just like a scene from a TV drama where the wife interrogated her adventurous husband.
She just wanted to ask him how she should repay.
Lucas’s lips curled up slightly, “I was just fine, you know?”
Grace glared at him.
He really managed to resist not fighting back.
Lucas tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, he grimaced in pain.
Grace hurried over to help him and said, not kindly, “Serves you right!”
“Grace, didn’t you really know what was on my mind?”
He looked at her with a burning gaze.
Grace’s heart skipped a beat, and she dared not look into his eyes. “What thoughts? I don’t know.“”
He spoke bluntly, “A man’s thoughts about women.”
The name of Lucas, Grace had heard of long ago.
The Palmer family’s only heir, worth billions, and to top it off, he was good–looking. In Astait City, countless wealthy young

They had not known each other for long, but he had already helped her several times.
Grace couldn’t understand why he liked himself so much: “What do I have that is worth your attention?”
Lucas smiled and said, “I don
know, maybe it was fate, but as
soon as I saw you, I had that feeling.”
“What does it feel like?”
“The man’s feelings towards the woman.”
Grace’s fair cheeks turned red instantly: “Lucas!”
Lucas put away his smile and stopped teasing her, “Grace, I was serious.”
Grace had just divorced and had no intention of entering into another relationship.
She turned her face away, avoiding Lucas‘ gaze. “Lucas, we were not meant to be together.”
