Chapter 2259
- Amelia was perceptive. At a glance, she saw through the urgency hidden beneath Gracie's gentle exterior. Her heart softened slightly, and she spoke to break the silence, her voice as soft as a warm breeze through the woods. "Miss, you seem a bit anxious. Is there something important you need to attend to? If it's on the way, that's fine, but if we're delaying you, we would truly feel bad. If necessary, you can drop us off at the next intersection, and we can wait for another car."
- Gracie's hands paused slightly on the steering wheel. She turned her head and looked at Amelia in the back seat through the rearview mirror. A flash of embarrassment and guilt crossed her eyes. In her hurry, she had failed to hide her emotions and had been seen through.
- She let out a soft sigh, her tone carrying unmistakable fatigue and worry. Her once-bright voice grew heavier. "It's fine, it's fine. Since I agreed to give you a ride, I won't drop you off halfway. I'm just... in a hurry to get to the Norman Hospital."
