Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 250

“What’s wrong?”

Grandpa looked up at Grace.

His eyes held a mix of guilt, fear, and a certain… finality that Grace couldn’t understand.

“It’s… it’s nothing.”

He avoided her gaze, walked over to the water vat, and scooped up a ladle of cold water, gulping it down.

“Grace.”

Grandpa wiped his mouth, his back still to her, his voice trembling slightly.

“If… and I’m just saying if.”

“If you had to spend the rest of your life here, would you be willing to?”

Grace froze.

Spend the rest of her life here?

In this backwater place with no internet, let alone a chance to pursue her dreams in scientific research?

Her hiding out here was just a temporary measure to avoid Damien.

Once the heat was off, she planned to leave.

She was going to go abroad and continue her medical research.

“Grandpa, what are you talking about?”

Grace forced a smile.

“Didn’t we already agree? In a year or so, we’ll move somewhere else.”

“This place… it’s just too remote.”

Grandpa’s back stiffened.

He didn’t say anything, just let out a heavy sigh.

In that moment, Grace felt as if her grandfather had aged ten years.

“Grandpa, what on earth happened?”

Grace dropped the vegetables and went to help him up.

But he moved away from her.

“It’s nothing. What could possibly happen?”

“I’m going to rest for a bit. Tonight… we’re having dinner at Mr. Fenwick’s.”

With that, Grandpa practically fled into his room and locked the door from the inside.

Grace stood in the courtyard, the cold wind whipping through her hair.

Something was wrong.

Grandpa never kept secrets from her.

Grace looked up in the direction of Mr. Fenwick’s house.
