“Or you know, you can just go to the hospital, which is more convenient,” she added, giving Bryson an easygoing grin.
Just as she was about to make her exit, she remembered Grace all of a sudden. She swiveled back to Bryson and said, “Oh, by the way, Grace’s leave is over. She’s going back to Valmere tomorrow. You might want to think about where she should be staying.”

“Change of plans. Let’s talk about it when you’re back.”
“Sure thing.” Grace blinked, sensing a strange feeling in Bryson’s tone.
Deciding her brother probably had his hands full with company affairs, she brushed it off and promptly hung up the phone.
“Yosef, find a place near Halliday University with a high-level security system. Buy us an apartment there.”
“Got it, boss. I’ll do it right away.”
Grace wasted no time and swiftly returned.
