In hospital.
At the ward.
Grace's condition was already quite stable. There were no abnormalities in her body. However, they still couldn't be sure if the pesticide residue would cause any harm to her body.
As well as the children in her belly.
It wasn't long after Grace finished her breakfast.
Heinz also stayed to accompany her. Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in," Heinz said in a deep voice.
When the door opened, a bodyguard stood at the door and said respectfully, "Mr. Jones, there is a lady named Quinn Berkeley who wants to see Madam Grace."
"Quinn?" Heinz frowned and replied instantly, "We won't see her. Tell her to leave."
That woman still dared to come. Was this the solution that Timothy spoke of?"
Grace was also stunned. She didn't expect Quinn to come.
"Wait a minute," Grace said hurriedly.
Heinz looked at her and said, "It's better not to see this woman. We don't know what she's here for. I think she's either here to apologize or to plead her innocence."
After considering for a while, Grace asked the bodyguard, "Did she come alone, or did she come with Mr. Yarbrough?"
"She is alone." the bodyguard said. "Her eyes are puffy, it seems like she had cried before. Madam Berkeley said that she must see you no matter what."
"We won't see her." Heinz had lost his patience. He said coldly, "Turn her down and get her to leave immediately."
"Don't," Grace shook her head and said, "Heinz, actually, we didn't investigate this matter deeply. We don't know what happened. What if we really wrongly accused her?"
"Grace, it's better to be safe than sorry at a time like this, don't you get it?" Heinz said, "Our children and you can't be harmed anymore."
"You're here to protect me, and she came alone. I don't think she could do much harm right now. What if we're really wrong about her, how should we explain to Mr. Yarbrough?" Grace tried to convince him.
"Grace, you can't always think for others. You have to think for yourself too." Heinz persuaded her.
She nodded and said, "I have thought it through, Heinz. Last night, I was scared. I was a little anxious and unsettled. I also reflected a lot after that. I think we should have a clear conscience for everything we do. Even if the result is not what we want, as long as we have a clear conscience, the result will not be too bad."
"That's because you are carrying hope towards Quinn," Heinz didn't agree for Grace to Quinn at a time like this because he couldn't figure out her intention. "I won't allow her to see you now, but I can go out and meet her. She can tell me what she wants."
Grace could see that he was really worried.
She sighed and muttered, "Alright, you go ahead. Please be polite to her."
She gave in at last because she didn't want Heinz to worry about her nor did she want him to be afraid.
"That's more like it," Heinz's expression eased a little.
After a slight pause, he went out with the bodyguard.
Soon, he saw Quinn in the corridor. The reason she did not stand at the door of the ward was perhaps out of fear of embarrassment. So she hid at the end of the corridor.
Heinz came out of the ward and went straight to the end of the corridor. In a flash, he was in front of Quinn. He looked at the woman in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Mrs. Yarbrough, what are you doing here? To see the result of your prank, or to announce something? Or are you going to set another trap and wait for us to fall into it?"
"Mr. Jones," Quinn looked at Heinz. She was neither angry nor emotional. She just murmured, "I'm no longer Mrs. Yarbrough. You should just call me Madam Berkeley. But it doesn't matter what you call me. It's just a title. I'm here to apologize."
