Chapter 818

She didn’t care at all what others thought of her.

But the moment she heard Arnold’s voice, Grace clung to him like drowning person grabbing a lifeline.

She tightly gripped his sleeve and said with hope in her eyes, “Arnold, I just… I think I just heard Aurora’s voice.”

Hearing that, a chill ran down Arnold’s spine, especially seeing Grace like this–it really seemed like her mind was starting to become unstable.

He couldn’t help but say, “Ma’am, maybe you heard wrong? Miss Aurora isn’t here right now, and the one who called you just now was your son–in–law.”

Arnold thought she had mistaken someone else for Aurora.

After all, her mental state hadn’t been great lately.

She’d been eating very little and barely sleeping, clearly exhausted and worn out.

On top of that, constantly worrying about Aurora had taken a toll on her.

Arnold looked at her sunken cheeks and the sharp bones protruding beneath her skin.

Just seeing her like that made him feel heavy–hearted.

He hadn’t expected someone to lose so much weight in such a short time.

And it was obvious that she was malnourished.

Grace’s expression darkened at his words. “Of course, I know who was talking to!”

Her voice suddenly rose, clearly unwilling to accept what Arnold said.

Seeing this, Arnold fell silent and didn’t press further.

He knew saying anything else would only make her more upset.

And looking at her now, she clearly couldn’t take any more stress,

“All right, ma’am, you’re right.”

Hearing him say that, Grace felt something was off.

But she still took a deep breath, trying her best to steady her tone.

“Arnold, what I meant was, I think I heard Aurora’s voice on the phone. After all, that place was near her hospital room. But… I’m not entirely sure.”

Grace still sounded hesitant as she spoke.

Hearing that, Arnold grew excited too.

“Does that mean Miss Aurora has woken up?”

Grace shook her head. “I don’t know what’s going on. The call was cut off so suddenly.

“So I still haven’t figured out the situation. Even my emotions got stirred up just now.”

Arnold nodded, finally understanding Grace’s reaction earlier.

Now he realized he had misunderstood her.

“I see. So, it was our mistake. At first, we thought something was wrong with you emotionally, but it turns out you heard Miss

Aurora’s voice.”

And with those words, he was also subtly explaining Grace’s earlie behavior to the others.

At the same time, it was a way to let everyone know about Aurora’s current situation.

So that they wouldn’t keep worrying unnecessarily.

Sure enough, once they heard Arnold’s explanation, everyone quietly let out a breath of relief.

So there had been a reason behind everything–they had misunderstood Grace.

It seemed like news of Aurora would be coming home soon.

Each of them silently said a prayer for Aurora.

She was such a good person–she had to be safe, and everything had to go smoothly.

Please, nothing must happen to her.

But Grace’s expression was still troubled. “Even when I tried calling back, no one answered.

“And there seemed to be some kind of argument on the other end earlier. Could it be that something happened to Aurora?”
