I've Been There Before

“Your father has a bastard for a long time”...
Grace was shocked. This time, she was truly shocked.
She looked at Mrs. James ... The James family ... Good for them!
She had long deserted her family name, James, hadn’t she?
“Little Grace, I’m begging you. Please, please!” Mrs. James cried.
Grace only felt funny. Actually, she really laughed out loud. As she laughed, tears run down her cheeks.
“Little Grace?” Mrs. James blinked her eyes. She couldn’t understand her daughter, who was laughing and crying at the same
time. “You ...”
In front of Mrs. James, Grace’s laughter grew louder and louder. In the end, tears came out of her eyes. She squatted on the
ground and covered her belly with her arms. She waved her hand at Mrs. James and said, “You’ve won me a smile today. Mrs.
James, thank you.”
Mrs. James widened her eyes, which were filled with disbelief!
She, she, she ... “Grace, how have you changed so much!” Mrs. James looked sadly at her daughter, who was laughing so hard
and having an ache on the tummy. She asked sadly, “How can you take our tragedy as a joke?”
Grace couldn’t control her laughter. But why couldn’t these damn tears stop?
Looking at this, Caden felt like a knife piercing his heart. To Mrs. James, Grace was laughing. However, to him, Grace was
forced to show her bloody flesh in front of everyone.
Mrs. James had cut Grace to pieces, while Grace could only laugh out loud so that no one would notice her wounds.
In an instant, Caden’s heart crawled with regret and self-blame ... Mrs. James was the one who hurt Grace, but he was the
culprit who sent her to hell.
For a moment, he wanted to let her go.

But ... he suddenly stretched out his long arm and pulled Grace into his embrace. He held her tightly and said, “I’m sorry, Grace.
Grace, I’m sorry.” He repeated it over and over again. Grace listened to his apology in his arms, but she felt nothing. Warmth?
Understanding? No. Nothing.
She reached out her hands and pushed him away, but Caden tightly locked her in his embrace. The man buried his face in her
neck and whispered beside her ear, “I’m sorry, Grace. Grace, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Blood flashed through his eyes. He
could say sorry ten thousand times. He could even die, but he couldn’t live without Grace. “I’m sorry. I won’t let you go,” he said.
What he was thinking was, “I’m sorry, I can’t bear to lose you”.
Grace was shocked. Her body stiffened as her lips began to tremble unconsciously. “Mr. Shaw,” she closed her eyes and said, “I
don’t want your apology. Please let me go.”
Endless exhaustion filled her heart.
Mrs. James looked at the man and the woman hugging each other in front of her in surprise. She wanted to pull Grace near her
and beg her to save her son. However, Grace and Caden were extremely close. She looked at them, not knowing how to make
Grace listen to her.
Kern crossed his arms around his chest as he watched what was happening indifferently.
Grace’s excitement—her collapse, her despair ... All her feelings had nothing to do with him!
He landed his gaze on Caden’s face, which was somewhat similar to his own. Jealousy almost engulfed him.
Why you?
Why must it be you?
Why couldn’t it be me?
He watched. He thought. He pondered. He fell silent ... “If I can’t get your love, then please give me your hatred at least,” he said
to himself.
He took a deep look at Grace and Caden, who were hugging tightly with love and hatred. But in their world, they only had each
other. Kern’s gaze went cold. Darkness filled his eyes.
“Caden, will you, please, go to hell?

Grace, please, hate me, okay?” he muttered to himself.
Kern was born in the Shaw family. He had got Shaw blood. Even though he didn’t like it, he had to admit that he was the same
ruthlessness as the Shaws.
Grace was his cure, but also his poison. Kern covered his left chest with his hand. His thin lips moved as he slowly put on a
bloodthirsty smile. “Grace, my heart used to be black. But now, I don’t even have a heart anymore because of you.”
He turned around and went upstairs directly. He didn’t want to watch the farce behind him. It was as if everything happened
downstairs was unfamiliar. It had nothing to do with him.
Bang!
Mrs. James looked at the man and woman in front of her. She was a total outsider now. She gritted her teeth fiercely and knelt
down heavily to Grace. “Please save your brother, little Grace. I’m getting down on my knees! Please! You can ask anything from
me! Payne is your brother. I gave birth to both of you! For the sake of your brother, and for the sake of the brother who once
loved you, please save his life. Only you can save him now. If you don’t, he can only die.”
Well, well.
How great the responsibility!
Grace looked at Mrs. James, who was kneeling in front of her, with a complicated gaze ... Such a heartless woman. Such
“beautiful” words. Such great responsibility!
If she didn’t save Payne, Payne could only die. If Payne died, she would be the one who killed her own brother!
This was exactly what Mrs. James meant.
Grace looked at Caden, who refused to let her go whatever happened. Then, she turned to look at Mrs. James, who was
kneeling in front of her and begging her with her life ... She felt like being surrounded with wolves and tigers.
She was getting more and more exhausted.
“All of you,” she said with her head lowered, with her hoarse and raspy voice almost inaudible. Her throat was dry and painful.
Despite the pain, she moved her throat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She seemed to have taste blood, saying, “All of you
are pushing me.”

Carol was just an innocent little girl, but at this moment, she seemed to have understood the despair of her boss. After all, they
had been working together for three years.
Grace didn’t say anything, but Carol felt that if things continued, her boss would die right here in front of her.
She was scared. She jumped out with a broom, like a heroic masked superman. She said, “You guys! Don’t push her anymore!
Boss is also a woman in flesh and blood!”
She waved her broom randomly and landed it on Mrs. James the first time, “You! Go away! You’re a bad person! Memory Inn
doesn’t welcome you!”
Mrs. James didn’t expect to be hit. She said, “Bad girl, stop!” Carol seemed to be crazy as she slapped the broom on Mrs. James
nonstop. “I’ll kill you, you bad guy! I’ll beat you to death! You deserve this! Why are you pushing her so hard?!”
Mrs. James was helpless against Carol, who had gone crazy. She dodged and pounced towards Grace, “Little Grace, I am your
mother. You must stop this crazy girl ... Ah!”
Before she could finish her sentence, she fell to the ground like a dog.
When Caden saw Mrs. James rush over, he quick held onto Grace and retreated her to the side. Mrs. James didn’t even manage
to touch Grace’s clothes before she staggered and fell.
“Little Grace?” After Mrs. James fell, she still couldn’t believe what had happened. She raised her head and looked at Grace,
“How did you end up like this?” She glared at Grace with reproach and resentment, as if she was blaming her...
“You...” Grace’s expression was a little strange. Her face was extremely ruddy. Ingemar also felt strange. Was it hot in the room?
The next second, he heard Caden’s heart-wrenching shout, “Grace!”
“Hurry! Take her to hospital!”
Mrs. James was dumbfounded. She quickly got up and chased after him, “Little Grace ...”
The man holding Grace suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at Mrs. James and gritted his teeth, saying, “If you dare to
take another step forward, Payne will die this second!”
