Chapter 99 I’m Here

The first plane crash had opened Grace’s eyes to the truth about Benjamin and their marriage. As a result, she had become disillusioned that giving mor

But during this second time, she had no one beside her.

Melancholically, Grace stared at her shattered phone screen, and tears welled up

In her eyes.

Outside, a fierce wind raged, and a helicopter slowly landed. From it emerged a tall man in a suit, exuding an air of sophistication.

The moment he landed, he seemed to have found the person he was looking for. He began to stride toward his target with confident steps,

The commotion caused by the helicopter’s arrival drew the attention of the other rescued passengers. Everyone was curious about the person this man Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“He’s so hot! Which injured princess is he here to pick up?”

Grace had no interest in looking in the direction they were pointing. But when she heard that comment, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Everyone else had someone to pick them up, except for her.

Suddenly, the surroundings grew quiet, and the clear footsteps echoed in her ears.

Grace couldn’t help but lift her head to look at the owner of those footsteps.

With the blazes of a raging fire at his back, the man walked past the expectant injured passengers, heading toward Grace.

Grace struggled to see who it was. Her vision was blurred by tears, so she could only see a strangely familiar silhouette. As it drew closer, she instinctively uttered a name.

“Xander?”

The footsteps halted in front of Grace, and Xander cupped her face with his warm palms. His thumb gently wiped away her tears.

“I’m here, Gracie.”

At once, his deep voice smoothed away the unease in her heart. His hand held hers, making everything feel so real.

Frowning, she scrutinized the man before her. He was hot and elegant, with profound features.

She had thought she was alone in this world, but her knight had actually arrived long ago.

Meanwhile, the people around them were screaming excitedly.

“My goodness. They look perfect together!”

“Picking her

up

with a helicopter? That’s hot.”

Under envious glances and the sound of countless cameras clicking, Xander lifted Grace in his arms and left the terminal.

The helicopter’s rotor blades roared again, creating a whirlwind. At last, it disappeared from everyone’s view.

The helicopter soon landed at Fulton Residence.

Xander had the maid prepare a warm bath for Grace. After the family doctor confirmed that she was fine, he finally felt relieved.

Approaching the bed, he gently tucked her in and said, “Rest well.”

Grace obediently nestled under the covers.

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes again. “Oh no, I haven’t informed Grandpa yet. My family

must be so worried.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary. I’m sure everyone already knows.”

Xander took out a tablet and showed Grace a news article.

The headline read, “The Love Life of the Wealthy Is Truly Enviable“. Below it was a picture of Xander carrying her out of the airport, and the comments u made Grace blush.

“Oh my god! The way the wealthy date is beyond our imagination.”

“Though the image isn’t very clear, they look like such a perfect couple!”

“I’m shipping this couple hard.”

“I’m so jealous!”

Xander gently caressed Grace’s head. “Don’t worry about the articles. I’ll take care of them.”

Listening to his reassuring voice, Grace closed her eyes once more.

As Xander gently closed the bedroom door, Hestia appeared behind him excitedly.

“Xander! Well done!”

“Mom, the media is just making things up. Don’t jump to conclusions.”

Yet Hestia couldn’t contain her excitement. “What conclusions? Mr. Lewis Senior and Grace’s brothers are all here. They’re waiting in the living room to s

Sighing, Xander thought, “Mom’s really quick.”
