Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 310

Liam's eyes were filled with disbelief when he saw Alice because her body was covered in wounds, all clearly caused by beatings.

He was utterly furious and was about to go confront the psychiatric hospital, but Alice pulled him back. Her face was full of fear and exhaustion, her voice trembling as she spoke.

"Don't go after them… I deserve this. I made a lot of mistakes in the past. Liam, I've really changed. Just come visit me from time to time since I'm only staying here for two months anyway. Is that okay?"

Seeing the festering wounds on her body, Liam couldn't bear to let his gaze linger a second longer. He nodded and agreed to her terms. He even got someone to come over to look after Alice and arranged for a house for her, paying two months' rent in advance.

However, he didn't expect the person to show up to be Joanne.

Joanne was also a little surprised and stood by the doorway for a while. She looked inside the house and met Alice's gaze directly.

Liam quickly shut the door. Afraid that Joanne would tell Grace, he hastily spoke up. "Joanne, please keep this a secret from Grace. I'm only letting Alice stay here for two months. After this, I'll send her away from here."

Joanne pressed her lips together and sighed. "I won't say a word."

Only then did Liam ask her, "Don't you already have a job? Why did you take this gig?"

Joanne let out a bitter smile. She even brought a first aid kit with her this time.

"Didn't Grace tell you? I work several jobs. Velvet Eclipse is still my main job since the clients there tip generously. I also help out at my relative's restaurant. I even ran into Grace there once. But I didn't expect my client this time to be you. You pay quite handsomely, so, of course, I couldn't turn down the offer."

Liam initially wanted to dismiss her, but after hearing her explanation, he actually didn't know what to say.

Joanne handed him a piece of chocolate and smiled subtly. "Just let me do this. If you want to come visit Alice later, just contact me ahead of time. Don't worry, I used to be a caretaker and look after people. She won't be mistreated."
