In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 303 Just A Dream

She learned his name from others—Benjamin Hawkins.

Since then, his name had been like a spell deeply engraved in her heart. It also became her nightmare.

What happened next seemed to be fate.

She accidentally saved Benjamin's grandmother.

Upon learning that Elizabeth was looking for a wife for Benjamin, Grace volunteered without hesitation and became Mrs. Hawkins.

Three years of married life played out in her mind like a movie, and the chaotic memories constantly reminded her of her initial mistake.

However, she had spent three years without understanding why Benjamin couldn't remember her.

Grace's eyelashes fluttered, then she slowly opened her eyes.

The smell of disinfectant filled her nose, and she gradually woke up. It turned out that it had all been a dream.

"Gracie, you're awake."

She heard a pleasantly surprised voice beside her. She smiled faintly at Xander.

"Xander, what happened to me?"

"You've been unconscious for three days. You scared us. Fortunately, you finally woke up."

Grace recalled being drugged from behind before falling into darkness. "Someone drugged me."

After saying that, she shuddered with fear.

At that moment, Aaron entered the room. "Don't worry! We've caught the person who drugged you, but this matter isn't as simple as it seemed."

Grace furrowed her brow, puzzled. "Aaron, who did this? Is it Soraya Group?"

Aaron shook his head. "Soraya Group doesn't have the audacity to do such a thing!"

Then who could it be?

Aaron and Xander exchanged a glance.

They didn't want Grace to worry about this, so Aaron said, "Whoever it is, leave it to us. You need to recover and take care of yourself. Don't worry about anything else."

"But—"

Grace wanted to say more, but Xander took her hand and said, "It's more important for you to stay healthy. You shouldn't think about anything else."

Seeing this, Grace softly agreed, "Okay, I understand."

Xander changed the topic and said, "We're almost done discussing the collaboration with Acme Group. Once you get better, we can sign the contract and secure the deal." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Grace nodded upon hearing this. "Good, we still need to monitor this project closely."

Xander watched her carefully and reluctantly added, "There's one more thing I must tell you."

"What is it?"

"Benjamin has been waiting outside for several days. Do you want to see him?"

Grace was unfazed by the mention of this name.

She simply said, "No. Ask him to leave."

Respecting her wishes, Xander replied, "Alright, I understand."

Grace turned her head and looked out the window. She had fallen for him willingly, so she should accept that she had lost. Now, she had truly chosen to move on and not cling to the past.

…

Grace stayed in the hospital for a week.

During this time, many people visited her, including the mayor of Dunhill, government officials, and some big shots.

But Aaron had stopped all of them from seeing Grace.

After a week of peaceful recovery, Grace was discharged from the hospital.
