True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 429

"He's alright," Heinz said to Alice. "I got the news on my way here that his condition is now stable. He will be fine after he rests."

"That's good," Grace also breathed a sigh of relief. "Another burden off your chest."

"Yes," Heinz nodded.

Seeing how calm Grace was, Jensen could not help admiring her.

When Grace had previously asked him about Jodie Lawson, he had already been deeply impressed by Grace. At that moment, Heinz still didn't know that Grace already knew that he had been treating Jodie's parents as his own.

Jensen sighed internally at the way Heinz was acting.

"The Smith Sisters are really different when dealing with issues like this."

They were more open-minded than most men.

Glancing at Heinz and seeing the suspicious look in his eyes, Jensen didn't bother to explain but said, "Sit down and have a rest."

"Alice, pour a cup of tea for Heinz. He doesn't look well," Grace looked at her sister and said.

"Oh, okay, just a moment," said Alice before heading to the kitchen and making some tea. When she came back, she poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"Thank you," muttered Heinz. The sharp features on his face were tense at the moment, he looked very tired.

"Is it that bad?" Jensen asked. "Uncle Lawson's body is getting worse day by day."

"Not good," Heinz said. "He's still alright if he does not see me, he becomes agitated once he sees me."

Jensen was stunned and looked at Heinz warily. Both of them exchanged a look, but they didn't say anything.

They had been friends for many years. Of course they would be able to understand each other's emotions with just a glance.

Jensen said, "Since you are tired, you'd better not go there so often in the future."

"Yes," Heinz nodded. "That's the only way."

The two of them then ended the conversation.

Grace too roughly understood what was going on. The news recently had made many people speculate her relationship with Heinz and the media even reported that Heinz's son, Little Gary, was already five years old.

Grace thought that it might be because Jodie's parents were greatly shaken by the news.

Looking at Heinz's contemplative face again, she felt a little worried.

She picked up the phone, looked at it, and sent a message to Jensen.

"Officer Charm, can you help me ask if Uncle Lawson found out about Little Gary and blamed Heinz?

Please! Also, please keep this as a secret."

After she typed her message, she drank a cup of tea and sent it to Jensen. She made sure no one was paying attention to her.

She also got up and went to the kitchen.

As soon as Jensen's phone chimed, he picked up the phone and looked at it.

As soon as he saw the message, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Grace. She had gone to the kitchen with Alice, giving the two men some privacy.

Jensen quietly put away the phone and looked at Heinz. He said, "Did Uncle Lawson find out about Little Gary and Grace? Is that why his condition deteriorated? Because he was distressed?"

"Yes," Heinz nodded as he replied in a low voice. "To be exact, it's because he found out that Little Gary is already five years old. He thought that I had a girlfriend six years ago and couldn't accept it."

Jensen nodded and said, "That's understandable. Uncle Lawson is someone who tells you to get a girlfriend, but once you really do, he might not be able to accept it."

Heinz didn't say anything. He picked up the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Jensen poured him more tea. He tried to comfort him, saying, "Don't take it to heart. You have done your best forthem."

Heinz still didn't say a word. He leaned back and whispered, "All these years, I do feel sorry for them. It's cruel that they have lost their only child, but I do not think I have done anything wrong. Now, I feel guilty towards Grace and Little Gary."

"Have you ever thought of coming clean to her?" Jensen said tentatively, "Just let Grace know."
