I've Been There Before Chapter 322: It’s No Point in Crying over Spilt Milk

Grace suddenly fainted, perhaps because she had become exhausted after experiencing so many
things.

In the apartment

Humbert was packing his medicine kits. “She is fine. She just fainted from fatigue. However, her
physical condition is too bad. When she wakes up, you must prepare nutritious food for her and let her
take a good rest…”

As Humbert spoke, he paused for a moment and glanced at the woman on the bed. He curled his lips
and said, “She shouldn’t be in worry from now on. Just let her stay at home and have recuperation.”

Even if she could take enough rest, it was unknown whether she could fully recover or not.

That was because she had been in poor health for so long.

“In addition, I suggest that when she wakes up, you’d better take her to the hospital for a
comprehensive examination.

After all, I don’t have any medical equipment at hand right now. I’m not sure how badly her body is
injured.

There’s no exact data … As a doctor specializing in western medicine, I always need accurate data.”

Humbert packed up his medicine kits. Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Caden wore a distressed
expression. He then reached out to tuck her in.

He said in a low voice, “Let’s go to the living room and have a talk.”



Humbert secretly rolled his eyes as he looked at Caden’s receding figure. He thought his friend was
overacting. Truth to be told, even if a thunder came right now, Grace couldn’t be woken up.

However, he had no interest in arguing with Caden. He carried his medical kits and quickly followed
him into the living room.

Caden put a cup of tea on the table and then sat down. He leisurely crossed his slender legs.

“Since you’re back, please help me with something.”

Out of surprise, Humbert looked up at Caden and patted his chest. “Don’t scare me. If you have
something to say, just say it directly.”

They had known each other since childhood. For so many years, Caden rarely used the word “please”
to ask him for help.

Humbert hoped he wouldn’t ask him to do anything inappropriate.

Just as this thought flashed his mind, Caden’s deep voice sounded.

“Do you know that she’s lying to me?”

“Ah?”

Caden lowered his eyes and said, “She said she wanted time to be alone. She’s lying to me.

She went to donate bone marrow to Payne without telling me.”

As he said that, he handed Humbert a document. “She even signed the bone marrow donation form.”

Humbert picked up the document and looked at it. After a moment of silence, he said, “Since you were
able to obtain this document, her plan didn’t succeed, right?”



“To be honest, I don’t want to care about Payne, Jafar, or any other person from the James family.

I have long known that the bone marrow of Jafar’s illegitimate child matches that of Payne.

Jafar and his mistress secretly made a fake report. They just didn’t want Ollie to donate bone marrow
to Payne.

I saw all the despicable things that they have done.”

“Since you’ve already investigated everything, why didn’t you tell your wife earlier? If you had told her,
she wouldn’t have signed this donation form.”

“I saw that she didn’t care about her relatives except for Master James. Since that was the case, I
didn’t want to interfere in her personal affairs.”

Humbert remained silent. He knew that Caden was a cold-blooded person.

There weren’t many people and things in this world that could make him worried.

Apart from Ingemar and him, the only person he cared about was Grace.

Humbert was sure that even if all of Grace’s relatives died, Caden would turn a blind eye as long as
Grace was not sad. Even if he knew that Payne could be saved, he would still watch him die without
showing any sympathy.

Then Caden took out a mobile phone and said self-mockingly, “Look at this phone number.”

Humbert took his phone and felt that the number looked familiar. He couldn’t recall where he had seen
it before, so he asked, “What’s this?”

“This number has no caller ID. Grace took the initiative to dial this number after she left the Shaw
Group that day.



“I found it strange, so I let someone investigate it. Guess whose number it is?”

Looking at the number. Humbert thought it was so familiar, but he couldn’t remember it.

“According to Deacon’s investigation, this number is of an international bone marrow bank.”

Humbert suddenly looked up with an astonished look. “It can’t be…”

“Yes. You guessed right.

Deacon found out that she had been contacting people from the bone marrow bank ever since she
returned from Erhai Lake.” With that, he held Grace’s phone tightly.

“She is really good at keeping secrets.

What’s more, she didn’t show any signs in front of me!

I pretended to lose my mind, so as to make her let down her guard. We lived together for so many
days, but I didn’t notice anything!”

Humbert was rendered speechless.

He didn’t know how to persuade Caden. Even if he told him not to think too much, it would be useless.

“She didn’t have to hide everything from me. If she just wanted to find a suitable bone marrow match
for Payne, she could tell me.

I am really confused about why she even deceived me when I pretended to be a madman!”

Caden was too smart, which had always helped him in business. It was beyond doubt that he had
benefited from his smartness, but at this moment, he wished that he was really an idiot.



“When she promised me that she would return to S City from Erhai Lake, she had already prepared for
the worst. She planned to donate her bone marrow if she really couldn’t find a match.”

Humbert did not say anything. He was not an idiot and he had thought of this possibility.

Truth be told, it was unbelievable that Grace could be so easily threatened by Caden with her
deceased grandfather.

She had resisted him resolutely at the beginning, but then she agreed with him so easily.

However, even if Caden was smart, he was so excited about the news that his beloved woman would
come back to S City. As a result, he ignored her weird behavior.

Humbert suddenly sympathized with the arrogant man in front of him. He pretended to be crazy and
enjoyed doing this, but he failed to let Grace relax her guard. Instead, he himself had been deceived by
her.

A sharp leopard could not defeat a cunning fox in the end.

“Three years ago, she spent her time and energy setting the conditions for her escape.

Three years later, she wants to escape again. This time, she is prepared to risk her life.”

As Caden spoke, he wore a bitter smile.

“I know I was wrong … I just want to be together with her forever, but she makes every effort to escape
from me.

Humbert, on the day of her bat mitzvah, I never thought that I would love her so badly.



If I had known it, I would have carried her on my shoulders and thrown her onto my bed after she
confessed to me boldly on her eighteenth birthday. In that case, I would never let her leave me.”

Humbert listened without saying anything. As an outsider, he felt pity for his friend. It shocked him when
Caden said that he knew he was wrong … After all, Caden had always been a proud man.

This meant that he was really in despair now.

“If things had gone that way, then … our children would be in primary school now.”

As Humbert listened, he felt that Caden’s words were like boiling oil, which was poured onto his heart,
making him feel extremely distressed.

“I can have a drink with you.”

“I don’t want to drink. She’ll be hungry after waking up.” As Caden spoke, he stood up and found the
refrigerator. Then he took out some vegetables.

“I will cook porridge for her, for she can only eat soft foods now.”

Just as he put the vegetables on the table, he suddenly stopped and looked at the trash can filled with
rubbish.

After looking at it for a while, he squatted down and took the items out of the trash can one by one.

When looking at Caden washing the couple’s cups silently at the sink, Humbert couldn’t help but sigh.

After putting everything back in place, Caden returned to the living room and said, “Jafar’s mistress has
already signed the bone marrow donation agreement. Humbert, please ... take good care of Payne.”

Humbert looked at him. He understood that Caden paid attention to everything Grace cared about.



As for the bone marrow transplantation, the most important thing was that Payne must enter the sterile
room one month after the operation. Caden was afraid that if something bad happened to Payne after
the operation, Grace would be sad.

“OK. I will follow him into the sterile room,” answered Humbert.
