Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 525: She must tell Malcom about this...

Chapter 525: Chapter 525: She must tell Malcom about this...

Ivy wasn’t angry, she laughed as she looked at Grace, "Grace, don’t be silly. What good would it do you to tell Malcom all of this? And don’t forget, I still have your video from back then..."

Ivy didn’t continue with her words, but the threat was clear.

Grace looked at Ivy with extreme anger, "You... cough cough..."

Ivy laughed, while helping Grace catch her breath, she slowly spoke, "The girl’s mother died, everyone thought it was a natural death after surgery. If I dared to do this, I wouldn’t leave any evidence. Even if you told Malcom, what good would it do?"

Grace stopped coughing and immediately pushed Ivy’s hand away.

Ivy looked at Grace and continued with heartfelt advice, "Isn’t this good enough now? That girl resents her mother, as long as she’s with Malcom, she’ll remember her mother’s death. There’s a thorn in her heart. If you show up again, she’ll definitely leave Malcom immediately."

After saying that, not waiting for Grace to speak, she sincerely continued, "I’ve done so much for you to atone, can’t you take a step forward?"

Grace forcefully pushed Ivy away, looking at her as if she were a demon, furious, "You lunatic! Get out! Get out of here!"

Ivy smiled, "Grace, you’re just too kind-hearted."

With that, she stood up and looked at Grace, "Think about it, such a good opportunity, do you want to go back to Malcom? Or let that woman who doesn’t deserve Malcom, dragging him down, continue..."

Grace grabbed a pillow and threw it hard at Ivy, "Leave! Get out... cough cough... get out!"

The pillow was thrown and hit Ivy, then fell to the ground.

Ivy picked up the pillow off the ground, put it back on the bed, and finally said, "Fine, I’ll leave. But Grace, I’m doing this for your own good. Think about it carefully, don’t do anything foolish."

After saying this, Ivy turned and left.

The apartment was left with Grace alone.

Grace stared at the closed door and collapsed helplessly on the bed.

What to do?

What should she do?

Should she go find Malcom and tell him about this?

She looked at the sunset outside the window and slowly got up.

She stood on the balcony for an hour, her cold eyes drawing back.

Her hands clenched into fists, pale skin showing the immature veins.

...

In the hospital, Malcom was speaking with Serena.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Malcom took out his phone to check, after seeing the caller ID, he didn’t answer immediately, turned to Serena and said, "Luna, I need to take this call."

Serena nodded slightly, "Mm."

Malcom took his phone outside the hospital room.

Outside the room, he answered the call, "What’s up, Grace?"

"Cough cough..." Grace first struggled with a bout of coughing, then weakly said, "Malcom, I need to tell you something, can you come see me?"

Malcom didn’t agree immediately, instead said, "Didn’t I ask you to leave River City? Why are you still here?"

Grace’s heart suddenly sank.

She held her phone tightly, suppressing her heartache, and slowly spoke, "I was going to leave, but I got sick, so..."

Before she finished, Grace started coughing again.

She coughed violently, it seemed even her lungs were about to cough up blood.

Unwittingly, Malcom softened his tone, concernedly asked, "What’s going on? How did you get so sick?"

Grace laughed, "Malcom, I’m okay."

After saying this, she continued to ask, "Malcom, I really have something very important to tell you, can you come see me?"

"Alright." Malcom agreed, then asked, "Where are you?"

"At the apartment." Grace paused, weakly said, "The place I rented six years ago, I rented it again. Malcom, you still remember, right?"

"Mm." Malcom responded briefly, "I’ll come over in a bit."

Hanging up, Malcom returned to the hospital room.

Looking at the girl on the bed, Malcom softly spoke, "Luna, I need to leave for a bit, but I’ll be back soon."

Serena looked at Malcom, her voice calm and indifferent, carrying the detachment that had been there these past few days, "You go ahead, I’m fine here."

"Okay." Malcom nodded, turned around to leave.

At that moment, Serena suddenly called after him, "Malcom..."

Malcom turned around, his eyes gentle as he looked at Serena, "What’s up?"

Serena looked at Malcom, asked, "Is it work-related?"

Malcom didn’t hesitate to nod, "Yes."

Then he looked at Serena, smiled, and said, "It’s just a small matter, I’ll handle it quickly and come back to be with you."

Serena tugged at her lips, "Okay."

Malcom turned and left.

Serena watched his departing figure, her cold eyes turning like ice.

She didn’t know why, when Malcom answered that call, she inexplicably followed him.

Just as she reached the door, she heard Malcom say, "What’s up, Grace?"

Grace, such a familiar name, isn’t it?

Because of this name, she fled from the engagement party...

She didn’t know what kind of mood she carried as she returned to the hospital bed.

When Malcom came back, he indeed told her he was leaving.

She didn’t refuse, nor did she have the grounds to refuse.

But as he was leaving, she still called after him, asking reluctantly, "Is it work-related?"

He had no hesitation, answered "Yes!"

Serena laughed coldly, the smile bitter, "Ha, in his eyes, what does she count for?"

Even now he doesn’t reveal his first love to her, he lies repeatedly, conceals.

But very quickly, she understood.

No matter who occupies his heart, what does she count for in his eyes?

As long as he’s willing to marry, she’ll wed, because it’s her parents’ last wish.

So why make things difficult for herself, why know too much? Sometimes it’s better to be blissfully ignorant...

If she had been a bit more ignorant back then, her mother wouldn’t have died.

She looked out the window with a sarcastic smile.

...

After leaving the hospital, Malcom went to Grace’s apartment.

On the way there, recalling Grace’s constant coughing, he stopped by a pharmacy to buy some cold and cough medicine.

Grace has this habit: always placing the keys under the mat at the entrance.

When he reached the apartment entrance, Malcom habitually bent down, and surprisingly, found the keys under the mat.

But quickly, he placed the keys back.

They’re no longer in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, doing such an action is inappropriate.
