Chapter 775
Grace asked, “Then how did it get better?”
“It’s a long process. Family companionship is important.” Alicia recounted some of her experiences when taking care of her nephew. Grace was concerned about her daughter’s condition and listened attentively.
After the meal, she couldn’t help but lower her guard against Alicia.
They finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant together.
“I’ll drive you back.” Grace looked at her and smiled.
“No need. I live nearby. I can keep fit by taking a walk back. You’re going in the opposite direction from me. It’ll take a lot of time for you to turn around later.”
Grace nodded and said sincerely, “Thank you for today. I’ll take my leave first.”
A harmless smile appeared on Alicia’s face as she waved at Grace. “Be careful on the road.”
Grace waved at her and got into the car to leave.
Watching the car drive away, the smile on Alicia’s face gradually froze.
She looked at the black Bentley parked not far away and walked over.
Alicia sat in the front passenger seat, looked at the man beside her, and said, “Her impression of me has changed a lot today.”
Nelson played with an exquisite necklace in his hand and said casually, “Then continue to maintain it.”
Alicia looked at the necklace in his hand and smiled. Just as she thought he would give the necklace to her, he slowly put it back into the box and placed it in the storage compartment.
The smile on Alicia’s lips gradually disappeared, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
She leaned over seductively. “Nelson, aren’t you going to reward me?”
Nelson looked sideways at her and chuckled. He raised his hand and hooked her chin. “What do you want?”
Alicia blinked at him seductively. “You… of course. Can I?”
Nelson chuckled and glanced at the cleavage she revealed when she turned her body. He let go of her chin and pushed her gently. Then, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “Fasten your seatbelt.”

When Grace arrived home, she saw Brian transforming one of the living room walls into a climbing wall.
Brian said, “Austin needs exercise, but she doesn’t want to go out, so I thought of this method.”
Grace nodded. She was still worried and asked, “Is it safe?”
“There won’t be any problem.”
Grace looked at the safety belt on Austin’s body and found it secure, so she felt relieved.
Austin seemed to like rock climbing. She climbed several times and was so tired that she was sweating profusely. But she refused to stop.
Brian would protect her while encouraging her.
Every time she climbed to the top, Austin smiled. When Grace saw her smile, Grace’s heart seemed to fly.
She believed that Austin’s illness would quickly recover.
After dinner, Austin wanted to play for a while more. Brian gradually let go and let her play alone. He stood guard below.
Grace returned to her room to deal with some matters. Brian received a call, so he instructed Jaclyn in the kitchen and went to the balcony.
Jaclyn put down her work and came out to guard Austin.
After a while, the vegetable soup boiling in the pot spilled out. Jaclyn looked at Austin and thought turning off the fire wouldn’t take long. So, she hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Austin, who was climbing to the top, suddenly slipped…
Her body fell rapidly.
When Grace came out, she saw Austin falling from a high place. Her heart
seemed to have stopped beating.
