Chapter 17
Mam aslord, “Is she dead?”
Adam was only concerned about the outcome
Thomas said, “Ms. Grace is alive. The fire department arrived in time. When she jumped down, the fire safety cushion was already prepared. Moreover, Ms. Grace didn’t intend to die.”
As an assistant, Thomas couldn’t say it.
Realizing that he had misspoken, Thomas immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Powell. I was just unable to accept what Ms. Grace did to Ms. Amanda, so I got emotional. I will be more careful, and I won’t make the same mistake again.”
If it were in the past, Adam would have been furious or even fired Thomas.
But after knowing the truth, Adam’s attitude towards Grace changed completely.
So he didn’t care what Thomas said..
Adam suddenly remembered the scene of Amanda’s first hospitalization after she came back
At that time, Amanda was fast asleep.
Adam stood by the bed and watched her quietly until she woke up.
At that time, there was so much tendemess and affection in his eyes.
Adam remembered that there was a thin layer of condensation on the glass window at that time.
Amanda, who woke up from a nightmare, suddenly smiled gently.
She said, “Adam, do you remember? The first time we met,
Thinking of this, Adam smiled bitterly.
was a snowy day like this.”
He wished so much to go back to that day and hold Amanda tightly.
Adam wanted to tell her, “I remembered. Of course, I remembered. I will not forget anything about you.”
Adam looked out of the window. It was still snowing tonight.
“Mr. Powell, the car has already arrived at the parking lot. The Hacker family hope that you can go and tale a look”
Thomas’s voice resounded again.
Finally, Adam went to the sanatorium.
As soon as he entered the ward, Grace walked to Adam quickly.
She was crying.
“Adam, how could you treat me like this?”
Adam felt very familiar with Grace’s tearful and emotional question.
In the dream, Amanda also questioned him like this,
“How could you treat me like this, Adam?”
Adam thought, “Did Amanda cry y at that time? Did she shed tears?
“No.”
Adam carefully recalled for a few seconds in
In a daze
From the
first encounter at the entrance of Ouray to the final farewell at the Hacker family, seven years passed.
Hut, Amanda never shed a tear in front of Adam
“Grace”
Adam looked at Grace, who had become pale and haggard overnight.
He said, “I hadn’t even started doing anything to you.”

Aday’s words scared Grace. She immediately stopped crying
Grace trembled and wanted to say something. “Adam”
Aden interrupted her, “Grace, I had my assistant investigate Amanda’s medical records in Duray for the past seven years. I also leamed that someone. asked many people to hurt Amanda in my name. For example, someone was asked to destroy Amanda’s face and even was asked to kill Amanda in the

Adam quietly
Grace slowly squeezed out a word, “Yes
Upon hearing this word, Adam tell helpless
He finally understood why Ananda was so sensitive to external stimuli. Sometimes, when walking on the roadside, even a slight breeze or rustling of grass coulid frighten her.
Adam thought, “Is it fear of experiencing violence again?
“All the villagers who had beaten her and humiliated her for the past seven years would say, “There are people outside who want you dead.“”
Grace said with tears, “Adam, where is Amanda? I will kneel and apologize to Amanda. I won’t do these again.”
Grace looked at Adam, begging for mercy.
Adam thought, “Kneel and apologize?
“What’s the use of kneeling and apologizing? No one knows where Amanda is
“No one could make up for the harm done to her.”
Adam suddenly smiled, but he was filled with bitterness
He was so regretful that he wished he could go back seven years ago and kill himself
Seeing that Adam remained silent, Grace became even more afraid.
Adam said, “Grace, you have to slowly redeem your sins.”
