Chapter 455 Spend More Time With Her
"What are you looking at?" Xander's sudden voice interrupted Grace's thoughts, but her gaze remained fixed on an ornamentplaced not too far away.
She pointed to the ornament and asked, "Xander, why do you also have one of these ceramic rocking horses?"Xander followed her gaze and smiled. "Oh, do you have one too?"
Grace nodded and said, "Yours is exactly like mine, but unfortunately, mine broke a long time ago." She looked away. Her tonewas tinged with sadness.
There was a flicker in Xander's eyes, but he concealed it well. "It seems like a pity.”He handed her a set of brand-new pajamas and a towel. "You should rest early."Grace accepted them and said, "I know. You should rest early too. Good night!"
Xander didn't linger any longer and left the bedroom. Grace couldn't help but smile as she looked at the pajamas and towel inher hands.
Meanwhile, Benjamin returned to Hawkins Manor after a business gathering late at night, reeking of alcohol.He sat in the backseat of the car.As the driver parked the car in the garage, he softly reminded Benjamin, "Mr. Hawkins, we're home."
Benjamin groggily opened his eyes and glanced at the familiar building outside the window. He stretched out his hand to loosenhis tie and opened the car door.
"Okay, you can go back." With that, he got out of the car.The large courtyard was quiet. Looking up at the villa in front of him, Benjamin's vision blurred slightly.In just half a year, the vast villa had become exceptionally desolate.
Since the divorce, Grace had never set foot in here again. He had also driven Celia and Susan away. Now, only he and Elizabethwere left in the large house.
Walking toward the entrance, Patty came out to greet him, saying, "Mr. Hawkins, you're back."
Patty took his coat and hung it at the entrance.
"Mrs. Hawkins Senior was talking about you. She was hoping you would come back early to have dinner with her."Benjamin paused in his steps and asked, "Has grandma gone to bed?"
"She has already retired for the night."
Patty hesitated to speak, prompting Benjamin to ask, "Is there something else?"
Seeing this, Patty continued, "Sir, | must tell you something. Recently, Mrs. Hawkins Senior has been in a bad mood, and herhealth has worsened.

In the bedroom, Elizabeth was sleeping restlessly, occasionally coughing.
