"Don't mention it. Just tell me whatever you need without worrying about anything else," Heinz replied.
In fact, Heinz was more worried about Grace.
She was concerned about Candace's illness. Heinz was afraid that she might get herself sick if she continuously felt dejected.
"Okay." She nodded. She knew Heinz was worried about her, so she tried to comfort him by saying, "Heinz, don't worry, I've already prepared myself for it. We've all prepared mentally these past few years."
Although she was sad, it was due to the fact that her mother had not been around over the years. She had always taken care of everything on her own. Hence, having a mother was almost the same as not having a mother for her.
She had never expected her mother to do anything for her.
Prior to this, she also assumed that maybe her mother had already passed away.
Therefore, even though she still had mixed feelings, she had already made preparations for her mother's departure from this world.
Jensen also helped Alice open the car door. Alice too was feeling downcast.
Grace remained silent for the rest of the ride.
She sat quietly in the car. A beam of magenta light shone into the car through the window and scattered on her body.
She opened her eyes calmly. Her eyes were dim and dispirited.
Heinz glanced at her with concern in his eyes.
Although she had tried to comfort him, he could see that she was still mulling over her mother's illness.
There was a surge of complicated feelings in her heart, and she was extremely anxious.
The doctor had stated that Candace had not much time to live.
Although she had already convinced herself that Candace was dying soon, Grace didn't know how she could deal with it when the time came.
She, who had always been calm in the face of obstacles, felt helpless at this moment.
Heinz looked worriedly at Grace several times. Jensen sat behind him and gazed at Alice in the same way.
No one spoke a word.
When they reached home, Grace entered the house without a word.
Heinz looked at her with her head down, her long lashes concealing the emotion in her eyes.
He also did not know how to comfort her.
With her head down, she was about to enter the room. Heinz suddenly grabbed her arms and stopped her.
Grace turned around in confusion and asked, "Heinz, what's wrong?"
To his distress, he saw the expression on Grace's face. However, he couldn't show his worry. Otherwise, she might end up feeling even worse.
Worry was all over his eyes as he gulped.
As he looked at Grace, he felt that the burden on his shoulder was extremely heavy. He needed to balance everything out by finding out the truth, and taking care of the motherdaughter relationship between Candace and Grace.
He knew that no matter what, Grace had a deep affection for Candace, and there was no way to eliminate that.
Heinz said softly, "Grace, if you have any doubts in your heart, I think you should meet
Lowell now. Maybe he can give you some clues."
After a slight pause, she nodded and agreed. "Yes, thank you for your reminder. I'll go and see Lowell now."
