TimeNovelChapter 1197:
The doctor replied, “She’s out of immediate danger, but she has suffered major blood loss and needs tto
regain her strength.”
The reassurance was a small comfort, but Ethan worried that Gracie would still want to kill herself after she woke
up.
Ethan and Neville carefully wheeled Gracie into her hospital room. Seeing her lying in the hospital bed, so pale
and fragile, Ethan frowned.
For any other employee, he would simply notify their family to cstay with them and let the relevant
department take care of the rest.
But Gracie had no family in Vanland. There was nobody to look after her but him. Left with no other choice, Ethan
stayed at her side, settling quietly into the chair by her bed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMinutes ticked by before Gracie finally stirred awake.
It took only about ten minutes before Gracie woke up.
Seeing that, Neville quickly excused himself to fetch a doctor.
The instant Gracie’s eyes landed on Ethan's familiar face, her composure shattered. Tears streamed down her
face. “Why did you bother saving me? Why couldn't you just letdie? What's the point of living like this?”
Swallowing his own irritation, Ethan forced himself to remain calm. “If something's wrong, we can talk it out.
Don’t act impulsively. Doing something like this has real, serious consequences.”
To Gracie, Ethan's words sounded cold, more like a scolding than any kind of comfort.
“Ethan, do you still think I'm being tic?” she said. “You really don’t believe me, do you? It had to be Brenna
who leaked that photo. | know I can’t prove it, but she’s the only person I've ever had an issue with at work. She
must think | am trying to steal you from her.”

Ethan didn’t waver, his expression frosty. “I've already told you, she’s not like that. The tech team traced the
original post. It cfrom the ninety-ninth floor, not from Brenna.”
“That can’t be the case!” Gracie shouted at Ethan, frantic. “You're wrong!”
At that moment, a doctor hurried in, eyes flashing with annoyance at Ethan. “She needs rest. This is not the time
for an argument. Why did you provoke her?”
Ethan glanced at the doctor, who was a complete stranger to him.
The doctor shot Ethan a quick, assessing look, sensing his authoritative presence. “Sir, I'll need you to step
outside for a moment. | have a few questions for the patient.”
Without a word, Ethan slipped out into the hallway. Pulling out his phone, he spotted a message from Brenna:
“I heard Gracie attempted suicide. Is it true?”
Ethan didn’t hesitate. He dialed her number right away.
His tone stayed steady, though there was a chill in his eyes that eased just a little when Brenna answered the
call.
He said, “Gracie indeed tried to take her life, but she’s out of danger now. The doctor is inside her hospital room,
asking her squestions.”
Picking up on his bad mood, Brenna gently reassured him, “Don’t carry this weight, Ethan. You're not to blame
for this.”
