With these thoughts in mind, he didn’t feel as ufortable anymore.
These were the paths she had once walked in the Fallen family, and now he was just repaying them
all.
Once it was repaid, no more debts, could everything return to the starting point?
With these thoughts, he clenched his fists, mustered his consciousness, and knelt in a standard
posture.
In thete night, during this heavy rain.
Edgar had been kneeling in the garden for two hours, while Grace had been standing by the window for
the same duration.
Since the incident with Grace and the special medicine, the bodyguards have taken turns being on duty
during thete hours.
Tonight, it was Eleven’s turn, and he hid in the shadows, also observing the person in the garden.
Although Edgar’s constitution was weak due to being injected with the special medicine, he remained
resolute from the beginning, gradually swaying as time passed. But his back remained. straight.
Eleven genuinely admired him.
Even though he was kneeling, he still exuded an inherent nobility that prevented others from looking
down on him. Eleven couldn’t hear to witness this man’s pride being truly broken.
In his struggle, Eleven quietly entered the vi and knocked on Grace’s door.
“Come in.”
Eleven walked in straight and stood not far behind Grace.
Without turning around, Grace kept her gaze fixed on the man kneeling in the garden, her expression
nk. “What is it?”
Eleven swallowed and said, “Miss, it seems that Mr. Fallen’s physical condition may not be able to
endure kneeling much longer…”
Grace steered, “So what? I didn’t force him to kneel this time. He deceived me under the guise ofOriginal content from N?velDrama.Org.
repaying a debt. Let him y his role to the fullest.”
“Miss…”
“Get out.”
Grace pulled the curtain shut, went straight to the bathroom to freshen up, and prepared to sleep.
Eleven sighed and could only leave, returning to his post.
The rain continued throughout the night, gradually subsiding in the early morning.
Edgar didn’t know how long he had been kneeling. All he knew was that his knees to his calves had
be numb, and his whole body was stiff and devoid of any warmth.
Although the rain had stopped, the wind blowing against his face still felt like sharp knives cutting into
his skin.

When Eleven came out and saw that Edgar was still persevering, he was somewhat surprised.
“Mr. Fallen, it’s been enough time. Please get up.”
Enough time? Edgar’s pale lips involuntarily curled. Did enduring this mean they could turn the page on
this matter? Would his debt be repaid?
He tried to support his body and stand up, but as the breath he had been holding suddenly rxed, his
head began to feel uncontrobly heavy, and his vision gradually darkened….
“Mr. Fallen? Mr. Fallen!”
Eleven touched his forehead, which was burning hot. Even though he had passed out, his body
couldn’t suppress the shivering caused by the cold.
After being drenched in rain all night, he was running a high fever!
Eleven quickly brought him back to his room and went upstairs to inform Grace. Grace had just woken
up and was sitting at the dressing table,bing her hair.
Upon hearing that he had fainted while kneeling. Grace’s hand paused for a moment. Her face showed
no expression as she continuedbing her hair. “Understood. Get a doctor toe and check on
him.”
“Yes.”
After the doctor arrived, they prescribed antipyretics and administered a fever-reducing injection. An
hourter, estimating that he would wake up soon, Grace went downstairs and entered Edgar’s
room.
She had a bodyguard bring a chair, and she sat beside Edgar’s bed with an expressionless face,
waiting. Her gaze was deep, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Edgar slowly woke up, his vision still blurry. However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw the
familiar figure sitting by the bed. Instinctively, he grabbed her wrist.
“Grace, have you… forgiven me?”
His fever hadn’tpletely subsided yet, and his hand felt hot as he held Grace’s hand.
Grace frowned but didn’t let go of his hand. However, her eyes were filled with intense disgust. “I’ll ask
you onest time, where did you take the person?”
Upon hearing her words, Edgar’s grip slowly loosened.
As if he were also angry, he turned over, facing away from her, closed his eyes, and pretended to be
asleep, as if he couldn’t hear her words at all, out of spite.
Grace’s patience had beenpletely exhausted.
“Since you are so brave but refuse to speak, then I don’t need to waste any more words. Now that
you’ve sent her away, I will make sure you pay the price. Why don’t you take her ce and suffer the
same prinislunent?”
After saying that, she shouted towards the door, “Eleven, Fifteen,e in!”
The two of them entered the room in an orderly manner.
Grace cruelly curled her lips and said, “Send him to the cell and make sure he receives special
treatment!”
As soon as Eleven heard this, he immediately stepped forward to plead..
“Miss, you can’t do that! Given Mr. Fallen’s current physical condition, if he’s sent in, he won’tst more
than three days!”

Grace gave him a cold nce and said, “That works too. Then you can go in his ce, and I’ll make
sure you receive special treatment as well.”
Eleven fell silent.
His sympathy was suddenly suppressed, and he reluctantly joined Fifteen to help get Edgar out of
bed.
Edgar was still running a fever.
When he was sleeping with his back to Grace, he vaguely heard her mention something about going to
jail.
When Eleven and Fifteen approached, he broke free from their grip and resolutely refused to get out of
bed. He looked at Grace in confusion and said, “I only sent Adrain out of the country, not to prison.
Who am I supposed to be going to jail for?”
Grace chuckled.
“What does Adrain have to do with this? Do you think you can distract me with irrelevant matters? Take
him away!”
Edgar was momentarily stunned but quickly realized that he might have misunderstood something from
last night.
Just as Eleven and Fifteen received the order and forcefully pulled him off the bed, he instinctively fell
in Grace’s direction and ended up sprawled at her feet.
Grace involuntarily stepped back.
Edgar missed his target and raised his face, looking resolute. “Although I don’t know what you’re
talking about, besides the matter with Adrain, I truly haven’t done anything!”
Grace gritted her teeth and pinched his cheek, reminding him word by word.
“You confessedst night that you were involved in taking Nancy away, and now you’re denying it.
Don’t you think it’s toote?”
Nancy?
Edgar’s pupils dted, and he had a determined expression. “What, Nancy? Isn’t she supposed to be
locked up?!”
Grace pursed her lips, no longer responding. Her eyes remained icy as she continued to observe him,
as if she wanted to see how long he could keep up the act.
Edgar knew she didn’t believe him at all. “Grace, I didn’t do this. The reason I wanted a divorce in
the past was because I thought Nancy was the girl who saved me thirteen years ago. Later, I found out
it wasn’t her. I even asked you once. Do you remember?”
Grace pondered for a moment. It seemed to be rted to Nancy’s I
due to serious
injuries. He had defended her in front of the media and asked about that old matter.
“What are you trying to say?”
Edgar’s dark eyes had a faint mist, and he stared at her intently. “Since that time, I knew that Nancy
had deceived me, and recently, I discovered that you were the girl who saved me. So, Grace, believe
me, everything I’ve done during this period has been sincere.”
He coughed twice.
Continuing, he said, “I was just upset that Adrain wanted to propose to youst night, so I secretly took
him away. I truly had no knowledge of Nancy’s situation!”
Seeing his earnest expression and thinking back to Adrain’s incident fromst night, it did seem a bit-
strange.
These two incidents coincidentally collided. Could there be such a coincidence?
