Grace had already bled a little when she changed the dressing yesterday and had sweated a lot afterward. The gauze was already stuck to Grace’s wound.
When Louise ripped off the dressing, it resulted in Grace’s skin being torn off as well. Grace’s forehead was dripping with blood. She bled even more than when she was first injured.
When Louise saw the bright red blood flowing down Grace’s cheek, a trace of excitement flashed across her eyes. placed her fingers on Grace’s forehead and quickly flicked the white powder under her nails onto Grace’s wound.
“Oh my, I’m sorry, Grace. It has been two days since this wound occurred. Why is it still bleeding?”
Louise
Grace looked at Louise’s innocent expression and took a deep breath. She knew that Louise was already suspecting her Identity. Otherwise, she would not treat her this way.
When Melvin saw the situation here, he was shocked and immediately ran over to ask, “What’s going on? Why is your wound bleeding again?”
Grace shook her head and told Melvin not to worry about her. If Melvin showed too much concern for her, it would also make Louise suspicious.
I
Grace quietly tended to her wound. Louise said slowly. “Since you want to do it yourself, I won’t help you then.”
Grace bandaged the wound and started to busy herself with this and that. She didn’t have any rest until lunchtime.
For some reason, she felt an unusual pain in her forehead today. She wondered if it was because the wound had bled again
that morning.
After dinner, she lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
In the afternoon, Grace felt weak all over, but Ava kept clamoring for her to clean the rooms upstairs. Grace could only endure the soreness and go to work.
After a busy day, Grace finally fell into a deep sleep in bed.
The next day, Grace was woken up by noises. Something seemed to have happened outside. All the maids were standing in the living room.
Grace got up from the bed. She felt light–headed and almost fell to the ground.
Ava’s sharp voice sounded from outside. “Grace! Why isn’t she here yet? Hurry, call her over now!”
Grace heard the sound, opened the door, and slowly walked out.
Her face was so pale that it looked like she would collapse at any moment.
As soon as Grace came out, she saw all the maids standing in the living room. She asked, “What’s the matter?”
Ava ordered, “Stand over here!”
Grace walked over and stood at the side.

“My sister lost two pieces of jewelry last night, and no outsiders came to our house. I suspect that one of you maids has
stolen them!”
When the maids heard that, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They looked at each other but did not dare
to speak.
When Louise saw everyone’s nervous expressions, she stood and comforted them with a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll search every room later. I won’t blame you if you didn’t steal anything. However, the Francis family will never tolerate the person who stole the things!”
Grace did not have the energy to listen to what Louise said. She could not even stand straight. The crowd dispersed, and she collapsed on the sofa.
After about seven or eight minutes, she suddenly heard someone call her name. “Grace, how dare you! So, it was you who stole my sister’s things!”
Grace frowned and tried her best to open her eyes. She saw Ava walking toward her with a necklace in her hand.
“I didn’t steal anything!”
“This was found in your room! Did I wrong you? Melvin saw with his own eyes when the necklace was found in your room!”
