Mckenzie was still in a coma. No one had any idea when she would wake up. Grace visited her in the hospital almost every other day.
Grace's life had been quite normal without any drama these days, but she could obviously feel that something was gradually fading away, such as her arrogance, sharpness, and aggressiveness.
After dinner, It was already 9 o ’clock in the evening. It was pouring outside, but Bella had not brought her umbrella.
Charlie said, "Let me take you home.”
"There are plenty of cabs outside. Take me to the restaurant because I left the account
book here," said Grace while she walked out in a red dress.
Charlie slightly raised his eyebrows and stared at her, "You can check the account book tomorrow. It is not easy to hail a cab."
Bella waved her hand and said, "That's all right. It is not too late and I will be fine to get a cab. Can you lend me an umbrella?"
But Charlie just grabbed his key and walked toward the doorway, which clearly explained everything.
Bella was hesitating and standing rooted to the spot.
Grace frowned. She quickly walked to him, and then grabbed the key from his hand.
While the atmosphere instantly became tense and oppressive, Bella immediately said goodbye and left alone without the umbrella.
Charlie said, "Since when have you become so aggressive?"
"I have always been so aggressive. Don't you know about that?"
Grace threw the key on the coffee table. The collision between the key and the table made a crisp sound.
"Unbelievable," Charlie frowned.
"So, are you feeling sorry for her?"
