Chapter 280 The Gracie You’ve Been Thinking About
After this brief introduction, Grace quickly greeted Mateo. “Nice to meet you, Dr. Graham.”
Mateo chuckled. “Well, well, well, Xander. You came to the emergency department even when your
injury isn’t serious at all. Others might think that something major had happened to you.
”
Hearing that Xander was fine, Grace breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s good that he’s okay. I appreciate your help, Dr. Graham.”
Mateo came over with gauze and iodine to tend to Xander’s wound, saying, “It’s nothing. Just be more
careful next time. Try not to fall again.”
After finishing the treatment, he turned to Grace and said, “All done. You can go to the front desk to
settle the payment, Ms. Lewis.”
“Okay.”
With that, Grace walked out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing her retreating figure, Mateo couldn’t resist teasing Xander. “If I remember correctly, she’s the
Gracie you’ve been thinking about, right?”
He sounded very certain, as if he had discovered an interesting fact.
He continued, “You just lack dating experience. No wonder you’ve been pursuing her for so many years
without success. This isn’t how you do it.”
After clearing his throat, Xander humbly asked, “Do you have any good advice?”
It was rare to see Xander being so humble. It truly was a historic moment.
Mateo’s eyes were filled with amazement. “Is this still our famous Mr. Xander?”
With a mischievous smile, he continued, “No worries, Xander. I can give you a couple of tips. In love,
you have to be sincere. Of course, it’s also okay to use a bit of a woman’s sympathy.
“But I can see she’s quite interested in you. Put in some effort and quickly date her. We’re all looking
forward to the wedding.‘
When Xander and Grace left the hospital, Xander’s arm was wrapped in bandages.
In fact, it was just a minor wound. But Mateo thought that wouldn’t have much effect, so he had insisted
on using a bandage.
Xander thought it was a bit exaggerated.
He wanted to remove it, but Grace stopped him. “Xander, your wound has just been treated.

“When you get home, avoid getting it wet, and let your assistant handle things as much as possible.”
Xander’s movements halted, and he even found the bandage on his hand somewhat pleasing.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.‘
At that moment, the sound of an ambulance approached from a distance.
Soon, the ambulance came to a stop, and a nurse wheeled down a patient. Grace glanced at the
patient’s face and recognized her.
It was Geraldine.
Grace and Xander exchanged a glance, sharing the same understanding.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXander’s face turned cold. “I will not tolerate this matter.”
Geraldine’s condition was dire.
She had already been injured from being trampled by a horse. So the additional impact from the car
accident had sent her into a vegetative state.
When Luke informed Grace of this news, she had just finished a meeting.
Exiting the conference room, Luke reported, “The police are investigating it, and the initial findings
suggest that this wasn’t an accident. They suspect Geraldine of intentional homicide, and she’s
currently under police control.”
Grace’s expression remained calm. Everything seemed within her expectations.
“What about the Hawkins family?”
“They haven’t taken any action yet, but to avoid implicating Hawkins Group, Benjamin has already
sealed off this information.”
“Have the lawyers handle the follow–up.”
“Yes, Ms. Lewis.”
Grace returned to her office and continued, “The Dunhill project involves two major sectors, including
crude oil and mining.”
