Her ceo ex husband (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 

With that, Grace turned and left Omar standing there. 

Omar stood there, too stunned to react at first, his eyes wide with a fear he’d never known before. 

Colin hugged Grace tightly, his tears coming in waves. “Mom, I really don’t like it here. Can we go?” 

Grace’s heart ached as she comforted Colin, rubbing his back. “Colin, be brave. Once I treat my friend, we’ll go with Dad, okay?” Hearing this, Colin didn’t continue to fuss or demand to leave. 

Grace sighed, a twinge of regret in her heart. 

She wasn’t sure how long the quiet times would last. 

The next morning, Grace brought Colin to the hospital. 

She once worked here, and many still remembered her. But what caught her eye was Kendra, still in charge as the director. 

People sucking up to Kendra gave Grace the cold shoulder, but Grace ignored them, making her way straight to Victor’s office. Victor recognized her and greeted her with respect, “Ms. Parrish, we’ve been expecting you.” 

Grace nodded, held Colin in her arms, and cut to the chase. 

“I’m here to treat Grace. I’ll be her attending physician from now on.” Grace Hewson was not just her closest friend, but the only heir to the Hewson family in Drelar City.

Grace had been overseas for years, but her heart condition became unbearable, prompting her to return for more conservative treatment. 

Informed by the Hewson family earlier, Victor agreed readily, “Ms. Parrish, we’ll do everything we can to cure Ms. Hewson.” Grace set Colin down and led him away. 

Colin got used to the hospital disinfectant smell when he was little. It didn’t bother him one bit. 

Seeing Grace, all connected to machines and looking so frail, didn’t scare him. It just made him feel bad. “Mom, is this Ms. Hewson who used to give me lots of toys?” 

Grace gazed at Grace through the glass, feeling a pang in her heart. 

“She wanted to be your godmother when you were born, and now I’m bringing you to see her,” Grace said. “Colin, call her godmother.” 

Colin, hands pressed against the glass, whispered softly, “Godmother, get better soon, and I’ll share all my toys with you.” 

A sneer escaped from Kendra. “Got to be kidding, right? How could you bring a bastard here and try to claim family ties?” Colin bared his teeth, ready to lunge and snap at Kendra. 

Grace held Colin back, a silent warning to keep it together. “Colin, keep this in mind. Dogs bite because they’re animals. We’re people, and we’re different from them.” 

Kendra got that Grace was dissing her, and her face flinched. “Grace, what’s your game? Even if you’re back, it’s useless. And

now you’ve got this kid to drag you down! 

“You must have struggled, so you turned into a side piece, hoping to use a kid to get ahead, but got dumped instead, didn’t you?” 

Grace shot Kendra a cold look, her eyes speaking volumes. “I can’t make it? It seems you’ve been Antonio’s kept woman for so long.” 

Grace didn’t want to argue with Kendra here, so she grabbed Colin and left. Her brush–off was Kendra’s last straw. 

Once outside, Kendra confronted Grace, “Grace, you’re butting in on my patient. Are you playing up your old ties with Ms. Hewson to win over the Hewson family?” 

Colin wasn’t having any of it. If Grace hadn’t been holding him back, he would have jumped and tried to bite Kendra. 

Those in the dark were chatting and pointing. Kendra, being a long–timer at the hospital, had everyone’s support. Grace,. unfazed, spoke up, “I’m the one who can really help Grace, unlike you, who’s in charge only because you’re with a married man.” 

Her retort hit home, leaving everyone shocked. 

“Dr. Jermyn is a mistress? Seriously? But to be honest, she never seemed like director material to me.” 

“Who can say? This place is under the Parrish family’s thumb, the big shots they once were, even if they’re not on top anymore.”

Kendra’s face flushed with fury as she stared at Grace. “Who 

will believe you? Especially you have a bastard, trying to hook up with some sugar daddy!”
