True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 155

At 6:30 a.m..

When Grace Smith got up, she had a splitting headache and almost fell on the ground.

"hggh, hggh, hggh —" She coughed as soon as she got out of bed.

"Mommy, why are you coughing?" Gary rubbed his eyes and came out from the bathroom.

"Little Gary?" Grace Smith looked at her son. "You're up?"

"Ah?" Gary's eyes widened. "You too have a runny nose. It's so serious. Are you having a cold?"

Grace was stunned and immediately said, "Yes indeed. Stay away from me so that I don't infect you."

"Sister, what's wrong?" Hearing their voices, Alice also came out of her room. "It sounds bad!" "I have a cold." Grace said, "Alice, please prepare breakfast for Gary. I'll go to my room and take some medicine. I don't want to spread it to you all."

As she spoke, she hurried back to her room.

Gary and Alice looked at each other, and Alice said, "Gary, I'll get medicine for your mommy first. You go wash up."

"I'll get mommy a glass of water." Gary went to get some water.

Grace was looking for her medicine, but she didn't

find it anywhere.

Alice took the medicine box in and said, "Sister, the medicine is here."

"Don't come so close to me." Grace once again emphasized, "No, this cold is unlike anything else. It's contagious and it will make you bad."

Alice didn't take her words seriously. "Sister, I don't think you have a viral infection, you have a common cold. You came back yesterday all sweaty, and your hair was wet. After taking a shower, you immediately went to sleep, I think that's why!"

Grace was stunned. She touched her face, felt the heat from it, and said, "I think I have a fever, I'm just afraid that it's not it."

"It most likely is just the common cold," Alice said, "You take the medicine. I'll take care of the child."

“Hm.” Grace nodded.

After giving Grace her medicine, and also heating up the food for the breakfast, Alice sent Gary to school, while Grace stayed at home alone.

While she was lying in bed, her phone rang.

She picked up the phone, didn't even look at it, and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." A deep voice came from the other end.

Grace was stunned, and her mind short-circuited for a moment. "It's you?"

"Why do you sound so ill?" Heinz called her early in the morning, their time apart had him missing her very much.

"Sigh." Grace didn't say anything and sighed first. "I have a cold. It's all your fault. I don't have any energy left now, and my nose is so stuffed."

"Have you been to the clinic yet?" Heinz asked in a deep voice.

"No," Grace said. "It's only a cold, after taking some medicine I am sure I will be fine."

"No, I'll pick you up and get a check at the hospital's clinic." He ordered, "I'll arrive in twenty minutes. Tell me which block you live in."

"Don't come here." Grace immediately said, "I really don't need your help."

"No." He refused immediately. "You must go to the hospital. It's better to see a doctor!"

"Really, you don't have to do that," Grace said again. "I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

"Say that again, and I'll find out where you live," Heinz replied.

"Ah, I'm so frustrated!" Grace complained, "Sure, I'll go to the hospital, okay? When you enter to the apartment area, take a left turn on the first building, followed by a right turn, and you'll find me."

"Very well." He replied.

Grace then got up and changed her clothes. She tied up her hair and picked up a big pack of tissue papers in case of a runny nose. She also put on a thick coat. She picked up her bag and went out.

She did not want Heinz to come up to her door, so she decided to go down to the ground floor to wait for him by herself.

She was really dizzy. She didn't feel too good after taking the medicine.

When she went downstairs, Heinz hadn't arrived yet. There were still five minutes left

until their agreed meeting time.

After a while, Grace saw a Bentley driving over quickly. Its speed exceeded the speed limit permitted in the neighbourhood.

The car stopped beside her while she was in a daze. It was very close to her.
