Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 474

The faces of the men were full of bitterness. No one had thought Grace would be so ruthless.

They immediately split up, sweeping their flashlights through the darkness as they searched for Grace.

However, Grace had actually only run for a few hundred miles before quietly sneaking back into the pitch-black house. There was no one at the house at the moment. Hiding behind the door, she could see the three men lying on the ground.

The most dangerous place was often the safest. With everyone out searching for her, they wouldn't be back for a while.

She kneeled beside the men and tried to rummage a phone out of them. When she finally found one, she immediately called Ed.

She didn't know where she was, but something in her told her that when trouble came, the first person she should call was Ed.

Ed had been very busy since Christmas Eve, but he still answered the call. He didn't say anything, but it was apparent his breathing had immediately become heavy.

Grace quickly told him everything that had happened in under 20 seconds and then asked, "Can you find me?"

"Wait for me," Ed simply replied.

His reply immediately put her at ease.

But she still quickly called the police, hoping they would trace the phone's location and come to her rescue.

Liking Ed and believing in him was one thing, but she had to value her own life more, so she needed a backup plan.

After she was done with everything in less than a minute, she immediately hid behind the door beside her. There was a chance those men would come back. All she needed to do was wait patiently.

Lucian and his gang searched for Grace for an hour and couldn't find her. Suddenly, Joanne gave Lucian a call.

"Grace's younger brother is making his way over. You guys come back first," Joanne said.

She didn't know what had gotten into Liam. He didn't want to wait for a few hours and wanted to see Grace right now.

So, she could only halt her plans. Although she wasn't willing to do so, she couldn't risk raising anyone's suspicion just yet.

Joanne was a bit restless. Liam's change of mind wasn't in her plans at all. She didn't understand why he would still care about Grace with Andrea's death standing like a wall between them.

But she didn't have much time, so she urged Lucian and his men to clean up the scene and retreat quickly. Lucian didn't have a choice but to bring his men back to the large warehouse.

Grace could hear their footsteps getting closer, causing her heartbeat to race. But they just came to collect the equipment scattered around the place and then dragged the men lying on the ground before leaving.

Cold sweat broke out across Grace's back as she watched their movements. Those men simply left the warehouse within five minutes.

Afraid it was just a trap, she stayed hidden for another ten minutes and made sure everything was clear before deciding to come out. But just as she took a step out, another set of footsteps came, and the door was opened with a hard swing.

Grace wasn't even able to say anything before she was held into a strong embrace. She was a bit surprised before she let her guard down.

"Ed, how did you know I'm hiding here?" she asked.

Ed's hug was very tight, and he simply said, "I know you well."

Grace furrowed her brows.

Ed had come in less than 20 minutes after she hung up the phone. But she remembered the ride here had taken almost two hours after she was thrown into the car by those men. Was Ed's house also nearby?
