Chapter 76
However, Grace was still unwilling to tell Angie so much about her private life.
Angle could only tell Grace to maintain Grace’s current state and try to stay where Grace lived now.
As Grace and Angie talked to each other, the door was suddenly pushed open.
At the same time, a gentle voice sounded. “Angle,”
Grace’s b*dy stiffened. She quickly lowered her head and took out her mask to cover the wounds on her face.
Angie looked up and saw Justin standing at the door with a basket of fruits in his hand.
When Justin recognized that petite figure standing next to Angie, he was delighted and strode over.
“Grace!” Justin called out.
Grace lowered her eyes and then looked up at Justin. She put on a half–smile.
Justin said in surprise, “You’re finally here! I’ve been coming here every day for the past few days. Do you know how worried I was about you?”
Grace took a small step back and kept a distance from Justin. “Thank you for your concern, Dr. Vance. I’ve been doing very well recently,” Grace replied.
Justin reached out and held Grace’s arm. He bent down to look into Grace’s face, not believing what Grace had just said. “Really? Brian didn’t make things difficult for you?” he asked.
Suddenly, Grace gasped softly in pain.
Justin’s eyes narrowed as he asked, “Are you okay?”
Justin’s gaze fell on Grace and lingered on her arm. He suddenly raised his hand and flipped up Grace’s sleeve.
Justin found Grace’s arm battered. After a day’s rest, Grace actually had more bruises.
Justin’s gaze suddenly turned cold as he stared straight into Grace’s eyes.
“What’s going on? Where did you get all those?”
Grace gently pulled her arm away from Justin and said, “It was just a small accident. Dr. Vance, there’s no need to make
such a fuss.”
Justin stared into Grace’s face with his cold eyes. He did not believe her at all.
“Did Brian do that to you?” Justin asked.
Grace immediately shook her head. “Of course not.”
Justin exhaled deeply. “You’re still defending Brian even now! If it weren’t for him, would you still have suffered so much?”

Chapter 76
When Angie saw that Justin was getting too emotional, she could not help but pull Justin away. “Justin, aren’t you being a little too concerned about Grace?” asked Angie.
Justin said coldly, “Angle, it’s none of your business.”
Angie’s heart sank as she thought, Justin actually used such a cold tone to speak to me just because of Grace! Can’t he tell that Grace’s background is very complicated? Can’t he tell that Grace is very likely to have been married? Moreover, she is pregnant!‘
Angie felt that she barely knew Justin anymore. Angie had always thought that Justin was the kind of man who was gentle to everyone.
But today, Angle realized that she was wrong about Justin. The appearance of Grace had already begun to change Justin slowly.
Angie was a little disappointed. She looked at Justin deeply, nodded, and said, “Okay, it’s none of my business. I want to go out and get some fresh air. You guys go on.”
Grace saw Angie’s reaction and thought that Angie must have taken a fancy to Justin. Grace wanted to chase after Angie, but Justin grabbed her wrist.
“Grace,” Justin called out.
Grace was anxious. “You angered Dr. Flores so much that she left! Hurry up and get her back!”
Justin’s mind was not on Angie at all. He pressed his temples hard and looked at Grace. “Tell me, how can I help you? I don’t want to see you get hurt again!”
Grace glanced down at Justin’s hand and replied, “Justin, I think I’m very lucky to have met you, but you’ll be unlucky if you get close to me. You can’t help me.”
Unexpectedly, Justin pulled Grace into his arms. “It’s just Brian, right? I’m not afraid of him. I’m willing to do anything to save you from his hands.”
The next second, Justin and Grace were interrupted by the sound of clapping. Then they heard cold laughter coming from
the door.
