Chapter 531 Is Grace the Murderer?
"No, this can't be true. Our baby is so strong, and I can still feel him. He's right here in my belly. He definitely hasn't left."
Grace could feel the baby's presence, so how could he be gone?
Xavier remained silent.
He understood what Grace meant. Grace must have misunderstood and thought the baby was gone.
"Don't worry, the baby is fine. He's very well-behaved and still in your belly, perfectly safe."
"Then who were you talking about?" Grace's eyelashes were still wet with tears. She had just woken up and heard Xavier's conversation, which had really scared her.
She thought something had happened to the baby, that the baby was gone.
If it wasn't the baby, then who was it?
"No one. You should lie down and rest. Is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?"
Xavier hadn't planned on telling Grace. He was afraid that knowing would make her even more uneasy.
"That's impossible. Something must have happened. I just heard you. Tell me, who died? What about Angela and Scott?"
Grace didn't dare to think about anything. What if something happened to Angela or Scott, or even Chase...
"They're all fine," Xavier said. "You lie down first, and I'll call the doctor to check on you again."
After saying that, Xavier was about to leave.
Grace grabbed his arm directly, using her bandaged hand. But with the pull, it seemed like blood started to seep through the bandage again, looking quite alarming.
"Don't move. Is the wound opening up?" Xavier anxiously held Grace's wrist.
If Grace got even a small scratch, he would feel heartbroken for a long time, let alone such a long wound.
"Just tell me, who died!"
Xavier sighed, "It was Daniel."
Grace's pupils contracted sharply, "What? Daniel is dead?"
Could it be that she killed him?
Xavier really didn't want to tell Grace. The matter hadn't been fully investigated, and he was afraid it would burden Grace psychologically.
The doctor had just come over and said that Daniel was completely gone, beyond saving.
And the fatal wound was likely the stab from Grace.
"This matter still needs to be investigated. Don't overthink it. Even if he died, it was self-defense. There were many witnesses at the time. You won't be in trouble."
But Grace couldn't get over the news of Daniel's death. She couldn't accept that she had become a killer, even though Daniel was a scumbag who deserved to die. But to end a life with her own hands...
Seeing Grace's expression, Xavier felt a wave of guilt. He had thought that leaving for a few days and arranging so many people around Grace, with Scott there, would ensure no problems.
But those people still found a gap and took the opportunity to attack Grace.
If Daniel hadn't died this time, with Xavier's methods, he wouldn't have lived much longer anyway.
He had been merciful last time by not killing Daniel, thinking Daniel wouldn't dare to act again. But Daniel had only become more aggressive.
However, when did Daniel gain such power in Skigeth, able to mobilize so many people? It seemed like a long-planned scheme.
"Grace, I'm sorry." Xavier apologized while unwrapping the bandage on Grace's hand.
Grace looked at him, "Why are you apologizing?"
This had nothing to do with Xavier. She had gone for Elizabeth's belongings, and Xavier rushing back was already a pleasant surprise.
She remembered hearing someone call her name and someone rushing over before she passed out. It must have been Xavier.
"Weren't you on a business trip? How did you get back so quickly? Do you have superpowers?" Grace still had the heart to joke at this moment.
Her eyes were fixed on Xavier's face, which was marked with dark circles, looking very tired. He probably hadn't rested well these past few days.
Xavier was supposed to be on a week-long business trip, but it had only been five days. He must have compressed his work and rushed back quickly.
Now it seemed that when she called Xavier, his phone was off because he was on the plane.
"I came back too late."
Xavier unwrapped the bandage, looking at Grace's wound that was bleeding again, "I'll re-bandage it. Bear with it."
Grace nodded. Her wound was quite deep. At the time, she didn't care about anything else to keep herself awake.
"What about Taylor? How is she? My mother's belongings are still with her. I need to get them back."
So much had happened. If she didn't get Elizabeth's belongings, it would be a huge loss.
"Taylor has been arrested for assault and is now in police custody."
Xavier didn't have time to deal with Taylor and her people, but Taylor wouldn't escape punishment.
People like Taylor didn't deserve to live. She might as well join Daniel.
Xavier's eyes were filled with killing intent. Anyone who dared to harm his girlfriend should have thought about the consequences!
"I'll have someone retrieve our mother's belongings," Xavier said while treating Grace's wound.
The term "our mother" successfully made Grace smile, lightening her mood a bit.
Xavier was very careful, afraid of hurting Grace. But with such a deep wound, how could it not hurt?
"Did Daniel and Taylor hurt you?"
Grace said, "I cut myself. I was afraid of being drugged and passing out."
"How silly. Why hurt yourself? You should have stabbed Daniel a few more times."
"Is Scott and Angela okay?"
Grace had just woken up and saw it was dark outside. It must still be night.
"They're fine. The drug in Angela's system is the same as the others. It was probably Daniel's doing to stall Scott. Scott chased to the Lewis Mansion and came with me to the hospital. After your check-up, I had him stay with Angela."
Angela had more of the drug, so she hadn't woken up yet. Grace had held her breath, so she was better off.
Hearing that Angela was fine, Grace sighed in relief.
"But about Daniel..." Grace still thought about killing Daniel. She remembered that when she went downstairs, Daniel had chased after her. He wasn't dead then.
"Don't worry. The police will investigate. They've notified the Gunter family, and they'll be here soon. With me here, I'll handle everything."
Grace nodded, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
"I'm a bit sleepy." Maybe the drug hadn't worn off yet.
"Sleep. I'll watch over you," Xavier said softly.
"You probably haven't rested in a long time, right?" Grace moved over and said, "Lie down with me. Let's sleep together."
