Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 187

At the end of the hospital corridor, inside the fire escape.

Martin clutched his dislocated wrist, his face beaded with a cold sweat from the pain.

“Sir, what do we do now?”

A bodyguard beside him carefully offered a handkerchief.

“What do we do?”

Martin sneered, his face twitching in pain.

“If they won’t let me have my way, then no one gets to live!”

He peered through the crack in the door, glancing at the two figures embracing outside the ICU.

He'd never thought Grace was that important, but now he saw it. She was Damien’s entire world.

“Get some men,” Martin ordered through gritted teeth. “That woman won’t stay in the hospital forever.”

“The moment she’s alone, I want her taken.”

“Sir, but… if Mr. Clarke finds out…”

“What’s there to be afraid of!”

Martin kicked the bodyguard viciously, aggravating the injury to his hand and making him wince in pain.

“Once we have her, that Damien brat will hand over the shares without a fight. Then, the Clarke family will be mine to command!”

“Yes, sir. I’ll arrange it immediately.”

Outside the ICU.

Damien looked at his father on the bed, covered in tubes, and the tight frown on his face finally eased.

The heart monitor was stable, and all his vitals were improving.

“Damien.”

His sleeve was tugged gently.

He looked down to meet Grace’s tired eyes.

“I want to head back to the apartment for a bit.”

A knot of tension formed in Damien’s stomach, and he instinctively tightened his grip on her hand.

“What for?”

Grace saw his anxiety and gave a weary smile.

“I smell like disinfectant, and also…”

She pointed at her clothes.

They were a wrinkled mess.

“I want to go home, take a shower, and change into something clean.”

“And I need to grab my laptop. There’s some data I need to keep an eye on.”

Damien’s lips thinned.

He didn’t want her to leave, not even for a second.
