Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 390

The receptionist continued as she processed their check-in, "There was even a multiple-vehicle collision earlier.

The roads will remain closed for the tbeing."

Grace glanced around the lobby. It was pretty warm and cozy. She could settle for the night in the lobby.

The receptionist seemed to know what she was going to say, and she sighed. "Ms. Lambert, there might even be

power outages at night these few days. The temperature in the lobby is definitely going to dip below freezing.

"There's an old type of fireplace in the room that uses wood. It'll be warm."

Now that she had gotten to this point, if Grace remained adamant about refusing to use the room, it would be an

insult to Ethan

She snuck a glance at Ethan. He was sitting in the wheelchair, his head slightly tilted, and he looked like he had

not noticed everything happening.

She quickly went to push his wheelchair. "Alright. Thanks. We'll be on our way up, then."

When they got into the room, she realized that it was only about 600 square feet. Other than a fireplace, it had

only a chair and a bed.

The bathroom was also tiny, measuring only about 21 square feet.

Out of nowhere, she recalled the tshe was on the island with Ethan. The bathroom back then was also as

tiny as this one, where their shoulders were touching each other's when they washed their hands.

Back on the island, Ethan...

She could not help but remember him losing control. Quickly, she brushed the thoughts aside.

"Mr. Henderson, would you like to wash up first? I'll let my boyfriend know I'm safe."

She walked over to the only chair and took a seat.

The chair was pathetically tiny. Although she had initially wanted to spend the night in it, that seemed impossible

now.

Ethan got up slowly, holding onto the wall, looking like he wanted to go to the bathroom.

But he was in an unstable position. He had only taken one step before he stopped for a moment with a frown on

his face.

When she saw this, Grace was holding her phone and typing her message for Ed. Inmediately, she put her

phone down.

"Have your legs not recovered yet?" she asked.

Logically speaking, they should have recovered by now. Why did it seem like his legs were still in a pretty bad

shape?

He turned his head aside and supported himself on the wall with one hand. "I've been losing sleep recently and

haven't had the tfor physiotherapy."

Grace suddenly remembered herself saying before that she would go to Palm Bay frequently and be his personal

sleeping pill to repay his kindness.

However, after everything that happened with Jodie, she completely forgot about this, and Ethan had not

contacted her either.

She thought that he had already found a way to deal with his insomnia.

She held him up by his arm. She was about to tell him to slow down when he lost his balance entirely in the next

second, falling onto her.

Grace fell backward, with her back hitting the wall. Their chests were touching.

She frowned. When she noticed he also looked annoyed, she asked, "Are you okay?"

He gave her a curt answer. "Sorry."

Grace did not know what else to say. For someone high and mighty like Ethan, he probably didn't like showing his

vulnerable side in front of outsiders.

"Don't worry about it. I'll help you to the bathroom," Grace said.

The bathroom felt even tinier, with two people squeezing into the tiny space.

She had even helped him with the water tap.

Ethan leaned over and splashed water onto his face. His hair had gotten soaked in the process.

Grace stood at the side. She did not know where to look, so she could only look in the mirror.

Unexpectedly, he lifted his head, and their eyes met through the reflection. Immediately, she looked away,

scratching her cheek, not knowing what to say.

Ethan took his tto wash up. After he was done, Grace helped him get to the bed.

Grace also went to the bathroom for a quick wash. Due to the condition of the accommodation, she would not be

able to take a shower tonight.

The bed was really small. After the two lay down, almost no more unoccupied space was left.

Grace closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep when she heard him ask, "Have you texted your

boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

In fact, she did not. Knowing Ed's personality, she was afraid he might becjealous. Ethan was already in Ed's

bad books, so she would just tell him when they returned.

Ethan got closer to her. Grace was startled because he was too close.

It was even harder for her to fall asleep now. She could only find something to talk

about. "Mr. Henderson, how far is it from here?"

"Three hours away. It's located deep in the mountains."

A manor deep inside the mountains? And she had been there before?

Right away, she turned to her side. "How'd you know about that place?"

"It's a coincidence."

Grace did not prod further. Instead, she changed her approach. "What's that place used for?"

"I don't know."

Ethan didn't bother to elaborate further.

Right away, Grace becwide awake. Was Ethan concerned about her personal affairs?

"Of course | do."

"Have you ever thought about marrying him?"

"| guess so... Actually, I'm not that sure. Lately, I've been having these dreams

that feel surreal.

"The reason I'm searching for this

manor is because | received an

email from myself that | had sent

many years back, askingif I'm with that guy'.' But | don't even know who that guy is."

She felt so lost, to the point where she unintentionally revealed more than she should.

Ethan had his eyes shut, and his

expression remained calm. "It could

It was as if Grace had opened the floodgates for him. After all, Ethan was the only person who knew about the

manor. It was quite an incredible twist of fate.

She put the anger she had for him

His eyelids quivered for a second. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly.

"I don't know."

His voice was hoarse. He slightly turned his body to the side. With his back toward her, he muttered, "And | don't

want to know."

The conversation ended there, and Grace knew very well not to ask any more

questions.
