True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 243

Grace was embarrassed for a moment. She subconsciously glanced at Heinz.

The doctor said bluntly, "Answer my question. Why are you looking at Mr. Jones?"

She didn't want to look at him either, but he was the one who initiated the whole thing. As soon as she woke up, she was almost suffocated to death because her mouth was being blocked by someone else.

"I kissed her." Heinz said bluntly and said in a low voice, "Then she yelled and said she was short of breath. I touched her pulse and it was beating very fast."

"That's fine then." The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "The toxin alone wouldn't cause such a reaction, but the both of you were at the peak of your hormonal reactions. It's normal that Miss Smith's mood was out of control and it disturbed the nervous system. It is normal."

"Do you mean that it's not the effect of the toxin?" he asked.

"Not entirely." the doctor answered.

Heinz heaved a sigh of relief.

Grace's mind was a blur.

"Mr. Jones, Miss Smith can't be disturbed these next few days," he advised strictly.

"Just say what you want to say," Heinz grumbled.

"What I meant was you two can't be too intimate." The doctor could only be straightforward. After he said it, he felt that it was inappropriate and his face turned red.

Heinz frowned. "Why though?"

The doctor said, "If you get too intimate, her surge in hormones will disrupt our diagnosis. It will be difficult for us to determine whether it's the toxin or intimacy which is affecting the nervous system.."

Heinz nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Grace blushed and her eyes widened. She finally spoke after a long pause, "Was I poisoned by the snake venom?" "Yes." The doctor answered, "It's very dangerous to suck out the snake venom. Even a little bit of snake venom is enough to kill, especially from snakes that are highly venomous."

"Then why does he look fine?" She pointed at Heinz and asked, "Shouldn't he be more affected by the venom?"

"Both of you have a very deep connection. Just now, Mr. Jones asked the same question." The doctor took a glance at Heinz. "Let me repeat it again. Everyone's body reacts differently towards toxins. And when you sucked it up, it may have entered through the blood stream and caused oral ulcer, gum inflammation, and tonsillitis. It's also possible that you have a weaker immune system, which made you more sensitive to the toxin."

Grace's mind buzzed at his words.

"Miss Smith, next time if something like this happens again, please do not attempt to suck out the venom again." The doctor reminded her.

She muttered to herself, "Let's hope we're not so unlucky that this will happen again. There's no way that there are so many venomous snakes around."

"Are you going to do it again if you do encounter one?" The doctor looked at her, as if she answered the question without thinking. He looked at her and asked again, "If Mr. Jones encountered such a situation again, will you do the same?"

"Of course I will, if it's for Heinz," she whispered.

Heinz's body suddenly moved, and his eyes were tightly locked on Grace. He wanted to hold her in his arms.

"Mr. Jones, please restrain yourself.” The doctor immediately reminded him, "You might be moved by her words, but Miss Smith's heartbeat really can't be stimulated further. It's already at one hundred and ten."

Heinz then looked at the doctor and nodded.

"Can you calm down?"

"With the medicine's treatment, I think I'll be fine, soon," Grace said. "It will probably take two to three months for the toxin to be totally cleansed from my body."

"Two to three months?" Heinz was shocked.

"You can't get pregnant within this half of the year," the doctor advised.

Grace was speechless. They usually made sure they are well protected, so this was not an issue.

However, it was very embarrassing to be advised in the face out loud.

This doctor was really daring.

She lowered her eyes and avoided their eyes.

"Miss Smith." The doctor called her again.

"Yes?" she answered.

"Do you still feel any numbness in your tongue?" The doctor asked again.
