I forced myself to smile.

"I'm fine. It's just a minor skin injury. It will be fine after a few days of swelling. Mr. Brown, I'm here to talk to you about setting up a branch abroad, which you mentioned last time."

Owen's eyes lit up.

He said, "So you've thought about it and are willing to go overseas?"

I said, "Well, I've thought about it and decided to take on this responsibility."

Owen seemed to remember something and asked.

"I remember when I mentioned this a while ago, you said your husband disagreed. Did you convince him?"

I was slightly stunned and just nodded, ignoring the question.

It didn't matter whether Xavier agreed or not.

In the afternoon, I went to the hospital. When I was about to leave, Xavier called me.

"Where are you?"

I said, "I'm changing the dressing at the hospital. What do you want?"

Xavier didn't respond. I was about to hang up when he spoke.

"Wait a moment. I'll come pick you up."

Before I could refuse, Xavier hung up the phone. And I walked slowly to the hospital entrance.

I originally planned to take a taxi and go home, but I didn't expect Xavier to arrive so quickly.

He stopped the car neatly in front of me.

"Get in the car."

I walked around to the passenger seat, but saw Nicole sitting in my seat.

My heart suddenly tightened, and I looked at Nicole coldly.

Nicole immediately put on the aggrieved look and looked at me while biting her lip.

"Grace, don't be angry. I'm carsick, so I sat in the passenger seat. I'll move to the back..."

Xavier said, "Nicole, you sit in the front. Grace, you sit in the back. There's nothing to worry about!"

I sneered and sat in the back.

I seldom ride in Xavier's car, and he even forgot that I also get carsick.

The road conditions in our town were not very good. It was bumpy all the way, and I was trying hard not to vomit.

What was strange was that even though Nicole's house was closer to mine, Xavier drove the car directly to the downstairs of my house.

Just when I realized something, Xavier looked at me coldly and spoke.

"Grace, go back. Her foot needs to be patched up. I have to take care of her."

I finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he wanted to go home with Nicole.

Suddenly, I had a strong feeling of nausea.

I couldn't help but open my mouth. All the contents of my stomach that I had been holding back all the way burst out.

A strong sour liquid splashed all over Xavier and Nicole's body and face.
