"Cancer?"
Heinz repeated in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
The doctor then replied, "Mr. Jones, this is not a joke. I wouldn't dare to joke around with this. The blood indicators show that she has many health problems, but it's difficult to determine where the problem lies. We have to examine her using a more precise instrument in order to locate the tumor."
Heinz thought for a moment and then said softly, "Okay. I get it. You can arrange for it first, and we will conduct the examination at any time."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Heinz didn't know how to tell Grace about this.
Grace could already sense the slight change in his emotions.
She looked at Heinz and couldn't help but to ask, "Did the doctor call you?"
Heinz paused, uncertain about how to talk to Grace about this matter.
Grace asked again, "Did you receive any news about Candace?"
Heinz nodded. "You're right. The call just now was from the hospital."
"The results from the hospital are out?" Grace asked in surprise. She immediately realized something as her expression grew slightly stiffer. After a slight pause, she asked, "You were talking about cancer just now. Is it about her?"
Heinz knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to confess. "Yes, she might have cancer, but it's not certain yet. She has to undergo a comprehensive examination in order for us to know more. I think that maybe the results won't be too bad."
Grace was stunned. "It's unsure yet? So it's just suspected to be cancer?"
Heinz didn't know how to reply. All he could say was, "Grace, listen to me, what I know is that it's confirmed that she has cancer. However, they're still not sure of its location. They have to use a precise instrument to check and see where the tumor is growing."
Grace was dumbfounded.
As she stood there, she felt that her legs were so heavy that she couldn't even take a single step.
Candace had cancer!
Grace pursed her lips. She was struggling internally, and she was worried.
As he looked at Grace's reaction, Heinz finally understood what 'kinship' meant.
That was to say, even though she was severely hurt and could no longer bear the burden, she would still worry about her mother once she was sick.
Perhaps this was just due to blood relations.
It was so magical that she couldn't help it but to worry and care about her mother.
Heinz couldn't bear to look at her in this way. He felt sorry for her, but he was so conflicted about what to do.
As Grace stood there, mixed feelings built up in her eyes, and she bit her lip so hard that blood almost seeped out.
Heinz paused slightly before suggesting, "Let's visit her."
"I'm not going." Grace immediately shook her head.
However, Heinz knew that this was not her true intentions. He continued. "Three hours have passed since we came back in the afternoon. She should be well rested now. Let's wake her up now and ask about her situation."
"I'm not going." Grace repeated.
Heinz lowered his gaze and stared at her. "We can't allow her to undergo a full- body examination if we stay here. Trust me, you'll be more worried if you don't go."
After thinking for a while, she looked up and met Heinz's eyes. He understood her feelings.
