Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

Liam's lips were already cracked from crying, and he hadn't had a single sip of water until now.

Grace was too rough in the way she tried to feed him water, which caused Liam to choke badly, coughing so hard that his nose started to run.

But she didn't even notice. After setting the cup down, she asked coldly, "Was it Alice?"

Liam's eyelashes trembled. He turned his head away and said nothing.

Grace let out a cold laugh.

"The psychiatric hospital already informed me. Alice is no longer there. Don't tell me you even rented a place for her to live? You've been out early and back late. Were you taking time to go see her?"

Liam opened his mouth slightly, looked down, and then finally answered in a hoarse voice, "Alice did give me a lot of things to eat."

It happened every time he visited, so he wasn't exactly sure what it was that got him addicted.

Grace yanked him up by the collar, glaring down at him from above.

"Liam, use your brain for once! She's trying to destroy you and the entire company! If you still want to stand on her side, then fine, I'll cut ties with you completely. Don't ever call me your sister again! And if you don't quit this crap, don't bother ever contacting me again in the future!"

A flash of panic swept across Liam's eyes. He was clearly terrified.

But Grace turned and walked away without another word.

Liam quickly pulled out the IV needle from the back of his hand and jumped out of bed to chase after her. Because of his rough actions, blood started seeping from the back of his hand, but he didn't notice it at all. "Grace, I was wrong! I've learned my lesson!"

His body was too weak. After running just a dozen feet, he crashed hard to the ground.

Grace didn't stop. She walked straight out of the hospital and entered the elevator.

Liam climbed to his feet and stumbled forward again. When he saw the elevator doors closing, he frantically started pressing the button. "Grace, please don't ignore me! I've learned my lesson! I swear!"

He just didn't want to lose another family member. He had been weak and indecisive. He wanted to live by his own principles for once but he hadnt expected the lesson to be so brutal.

Grace was right. Sooner or later, he needed to grow up and face reality.

Liam kept stumbling his way down to the entrance, but by the time he got outside, Grace's car was long gone. He stood there, crying so hard he couldn't breathe.

The police stationed nearby weren't allowed to let him leave. They quickly held him from both sides. "Mr. Lambert, please return to your ward."

Liam was truly desperate and kept grabbing the officers' arms.

"Please, call my sister and tell her I know I was wrong. I've learned my lesson!"

However, the officers didn't say a word and forcefully escorted him back to his hospital ward.

Liam cried the whole time until his eyes swelled up again.

Now, under constant police supervision, he couldn't leave, had no phone, and was completely cut off from the outside world.

When the police came to bring his meal, one of them said, "Mr. Lambert, once you're hooked on this stuff, your entire life is ruined. Since you were set up, your sister pleaded to keep you under supervision here. noveldrama

"Otherwise, you'd be in a correctional facility right now. If you hadn't been discovered in time, in a few more months, you would've been

completely destroyed. You'd be

nothing more than a husk of a man.

"Don't blame Ms. Lambert for being harsh with you. This stuff is the devil. It ruins

everyone and their families. It's not something we can just let slide."

Liam sat on the bed, his face pale. "I don't blame Grace for this."

The officer handed him the food.

"Then show us some determination. Ms. Lambert has been quite busy lately."

Liam moved his lips slightly. His eyes turned red, and he started crying again.

Even the police couldn't understand how a grown man could cry that much. It was as if he were trying to cry an ocean.
