Chapter 318

Grace knew William had been attending to something important in Redwood. That was why she had chosen this time to make her move. However, she hadn’t expected him to drop everything and return to Lestoria when he learned what had transpired.

William’s reaction didn’t seem proportionate when I was just the apple of Noah’s eye.

Catching the veiled meaning behind Grace’s words, William’s gaze darkened, but he didn’t take the bait. Instead, he coldly said, “I believe I told you you’re not allowed to harm her:”

Grace chuckled again, but this time, it sounded bitter.

“Did I, though? Can’t you see I’m the one that’s in a hospital bed? Surely you spoke to the doctors before coming in? So you should know I almost bled to death yesterday, Mr. Ashford,” she replied.

William scoffed icily. “Didn’t you bring that upon yourself?”

Grace should have admitted herself to the hospital if her baby had issues. If she had stayed and followed through with the induced termination procedure, then none of this would have happened.

She only almost bled out because she was wicked enough to use her unborn child as a tool to ruin me.

Grace smiled through her tears as she said, “Truthfully, I know what happened is my own fault. At the time, the sight of you floundering in the sea made me think of my drowned brother. Because of this, I saved you in a moment of compassion despite being pregnant.

“And in doing so, I had to be on bedrest and take medication because I had developed pregnancy complications. Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if I hadn’t saved you back then. So I have no one to blame for this but myself…”

When Grace hatched her plan to destroy me, she already knew she wouldn’t be able to hide her pregnancy issues from William. Hence, she never intended to. Instead, she once again brought up that life–saving favor he owed her.

William wanted to say something but couldn’t after hearing her words.

Although Grace hadn’t said it outright, he understood what she was implying.

Essentially, she was saying there had been something wrong with her baby because she had to take medication for her pregnancy complications. That was what led to her current situation.

Also, given Grace’s character, William had long doubted that she would be so compassionate as to save a drowning person. For that reason, he suspected I was the one who had actually saved him. So much so that he even asked me about it.

Yet, when William heard what Grace had just said, he thought about how her biological younger brother drowning.

indeed died from

When looking into her, he had learned she was very close to her brother. And given that her brother had drowned, it was very likely that she had had a moment of compassion when she saw him in the sea.

On top of that, all evidence pointed to Grace as his life–saver, no matter how many times William had looked into it. Hence, he no longer had reason to doubt that she wasn’t.

Before William could say anything, Grace continued, “I’m sure you also know that my stepmother is the reason my brother died, Mr. Ashford. So, I know you’re also aware that I can forget about avenging my brother and taking back what should’ve belonged to us if I lose my status as Mrs. Hardwell.

“To put it differently, how long do you think I will survive once I lose the Hardwell family’s protection? Do you think my stepmother would let me live? If I could live a good life, do you honestly think I would willingly do what I did and risk bleeding to death?”

Grace’s words were full of sincerity. Why else would she have gone this far if she hadn’t needed to claw her way up in life? William knew she was just pretending to be pitiful to win his sympathy. But when he thought about Grace’s desperate efforts to
