After catching my wife in bed with another man, I remarried novel Chapter 88

As I watched her storm off, I let out a long breath, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. But the memories of my job search struggles quickly brought a sigh to my lips.

"Liam, are you okay?" Grace asked with genuine concern.

I shook my head, and Grace's gaze softened, filled with a mix of emotions.

Then, she suggested something that took me by surprise—she wanted me to join her in starting a business.

Grace's offer was like a beacon of hope in the darkness. Finally, I saw a chance to start over.

"Grace, thank you for your trust," I said gratefully. "But I've been out of the academic field for a while now. I'm not sure how much help I can be."

"Liam, don't sell yourself short," Grace replied, looking at me earnestly.

"You're a top graduate from one of the best universities and hold a Ph.D. No matter what you do, you'll excel. Besides, you saved my life once. I have no doubt that with you on board, our business will thrive!"

I was deeply moved by Grace's sincerity.

"By the way, Grace, I've never had the chance to ask—where have you been all these years? Why did you just come back now?" I asked, curious.

At the mention of this, a shadow passed over Grace's face.

"I've been abroad for the past few years, receiving medical treatment. It was only a few days ago that I returned and heard about what happened to you from a friend we both know," she explained, her voice tinged with sadness.

Grace's eyes began to well up with tears as she continued, "Liam, I'm so sorry I couldn't be there sooner to help you."

Grace Miller had been my neighbor when we were younger, back before her family had become as powerful as they are now. She lived right next door.

One night, for reasons I still don't know, a fire broke out at her house. The flames spread rapidly, devouring half of the building in moments. While the adults scrambled to put out the fire, I heard Grace crying.

She was trapped in her room, with the fire closing in fast. In that moment, I didn't think twice. I rushed into the burning house and found her unconscious in a corner.

I used all my strength to carry her out.

Even though my whole body was burned, seeing that Grace was safe made me feel like I had done the right thing.
