Because Timothy looked too haggard, she couldn't bear to say it even if she wanted to.
Looking at Timothy, Grace didn't say anything for a long time.
Upon hearing Grace, Timothy's eyes tensed unintentionally and more guilt filled his eyes. He felt really sorry for this daughter.
"I'm fine, I'm just fine," Timothy answered.
Grace's heart also ached as she moved her lips. She forced a smile and said, "That's good."
Timothy lowered his head and didn't dare to look her in the eyes. Because of guilt, he was unable to face her, and he hated himself.
After a long while, he said, "Grace, I, I really deserve to die. It's all my fault."
She pursed her lips tightly and subconsciously put her hand on her belly.
She hoped that her babies would be fine. That was her greatest wish.
Timothy raised his eyes slightly and saw her hand on her belly, he was stiffened.
At that instant, his eyes were a little red, and it was obvious that he was trying to hide his emotions. His actions were heart- wrenching to look at.
She came to her senses and looked at him. The father and daughter looked at each other; they understood each other's thoughts without uttering a single word.
Grace's eyes were also red. She turned her face away and looked elsewhere.
Seeing this, Heinz coughed and cleared his throat to say, "Mr. Yarbrough, Grace can't get emotional. The doctor has told her not to get too emotional as it may cause contractions. It will harm the fetuses."
"Oh, yes! You can't get emotional." Timothy quickly wiped his face and said to Grace, "My child, you have to be well. Take care of the babies in your belly. There can't be any misfortune."
Grace muttered, "I hope so too, but I don't know what will happen."
This was her real thought. She did not know what kind of damage it would have.
"I, I really don't know what to say. My child, why do I always do something that will harm you?" Timothy was very regretful.
He didn't want to harm her; he wanted to give the whole world to his daughter to make up for his fault. But every time he tried, it seemed that he would hurt Grace eventually.
It was really helpless that as a father, all he did was hurt his daughter.
Looking at the child in front of him, Timothy's eyes were full of complicated emotions.
"I know you didn't do it on purpose," Grace said softly.
"But I'm too stupid. It will never happen again." Timothy said, "I'm really sorry."
Timothy forced a smile, which was uglier than a crying face.
She was as sad as him, "I understand your feeling. I know everything. You don't have to say another word."
Timothy was stunned. He stared at Grace, looking even more guilty.
Grace smiled.
"My child!" Timothy cried in a low voice.
"I'm fine. Everything is still unknown. I don't want to scare myself to death first," she tried to cheer up.
Timothy was even more sorry. He opened his mouth and his lips quivered. He didn't know what to say for a long time.
"This incident is a lesson for all of us," Heinz said, "Grace and I will learn from it."
Timothy nodded, "It's my fault. My fault."
