---- Chapter 111 Yancey had always taken pride in his image.
But ever since the incident with Lily, he couldn't walk out the door without feeling the weight of people's judgment.
And now, because of Grace, he was standing in the top-floor office with everyone's eyes on him.
It was all because of her.
She had never been so cold toward him before.
Yancey's chest tightened as if a fist had gripped his heart.
The pain was so intense it drained the color from his face.
But Grace's expression was unnervingly calm, making him.
question if he was imagining things.
He rubbed the throbbing spot on his cheek, and his voice was hoarse when he said, "Swear to metell me a man didn't do this!" Grace almost found it laughable, but she wasn't about to give anyone a show.
With a lazy raise of her hand, she said, "I swear.

They're just mosquito bites." Yancey's frustration subsided, but only for a moment.
He had a lot on his mind, but the look in her eyes told him she was beyond fed up.
"Yancey, just because you can't control yourself doesn't mean everyone else is like you." His face burned with embarrassment .
He wanted to defend himself, to explain that his first time with Alice had been a ---- drunken mistake.
But that excuse didn't hold up.
Every time after that, he had been sober whenever he slept with Alice, going through the motions absentmindedly while secretly hoping Grace would catch them in bed.
But she never did.
Without saying another word, Yancey turned and walked away.
Grace felt like the world had finally calmed down.
She couldn't help but wish today was Yancey and Alice's wedding day! She was about to relax when someone nearby asked, "What's up with the sudden cold shoulder toward Mr.
Henderson? You used to be all over him." Grace didn't even know where to start.
That was exactly why she wanted Yancey and Alice to get married as soon as possible so they'd be bound to each other for life! After her shift, Grace drove straight to the hospital where Liam was being treated.

She had just pulled into the parking lot when she spotted Sloan outside.
He was smoking, and the moment he saw her, his eyes narrowed with obvious disdain.
If Sloan were here, Alice had to be too.
He was a sad excuse for aman.
Even now, with her carrying someone else's child, he was still following her around.
Grace couldn't help but wonder if Yancey knew just how badly Sloan was pining for his fiancée.
She walked past him without saying a word and made her way to Liam's hospital ward.
---- But just before she could enter, Alice's voice floated out.
" Sloan didn't mean it, Liam.
I'll make sure he apologizes to you.
Liam couldn't shake the bitterness coiling inside him.

The accident last night never should've happened if Sloan hadn't barreled into him out of nowhere like a lunatic.
If Liam hadn't swerved when he did, he'd be in critical condition now.
But Sloan was Yancey's friend, and Alice got along with him just fine.
Liam wasn't ina place to speak up, so he just forced out a response.
"It's whatever." Alice ran a hand through his hair.
"How about calling Grace? She can make whatever you're craving.
It's only one night in the hospital , and you're already looking gaunt.
You need to eat.
I can't bear seeing you like this." A strange unease settled in Liam's gut.
Grace's words echoed in his mind, telling him not to pay attention to Alice's words but to her actions.
"Why don't you cook for me, Alice?" Alice's hand stilled, her smile faltering.
"I'm pregnant, remember?" "You didn't cook for me back then either."
