True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 854

Grace and Alice, who were hiding in the closet of the ward, were shocked.

Through the narrow gap of the door, they saw Lawrence gently kissing Candace's forehead, a kiss so precious, however, they were completely shocked.

Grace then saw Lawrence gently reach out to hold Candace's hand, looking so gentle that even his eyes were filled with deep appreciation.

Grace frowned and felt astonished. She could only use the word "shock" to describe how she felt at the moment.

Alice tugged at Grace's clothes. Grace knew very well that Alice was as shocked as she was. They were stunned and felt that the way Candace was being appreciated by Lawrence was surprising.

Even a young couple who were madly in love would probably not be as intimate nor cherished one another the way Lawrence and Candace did with each other.

The actions were so gentle, as if Lawrence was taking care of precious porcelain, afraid that it would shatter from the slightest touch.

They were both stunned, but they couldn't make a single sound. They could only watch quietly.

"Candace, can you wake up? I want to hear you speak." Lawrence gently shook Candace.

But Candace didn't wake up. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her breathing was smooth. It seemed that she was really asleep.

Lawrence's gentle movement did not wake Candace. He sighed and said, "It seems like you really are tired. Over the years, you have worked so hard. It's time for you to have a good sleep. You should rest well now."

"I know that I can't take you away as it is not good for your body. Although I miss you, I can't selfishly whisk you off, so you should stay here to recuperate."

"It's late now, and most people are asleep. I haven't slept well for many days. I want to lie down with you and not do anything. I just want to snuggle and sleep next to you."

"But I also know that there is not much time left, and the time we have together is decreasing."

"I know very well that we are in our last of days. You don't have much time left, but I can't keep you by my side openly and spend the rest of your remaining days with you. Candace, it's so arduous for you to be with me.

Grace listened carefully. She didn't understand the underlying meaning of what Lawrence was saying.

She really wanted to listen and catch as many details as possible from what Lawrence was saying.

He looked at Candace who was on the bed in a daze and did not move for a long time.

Alice couldn't sit still any longer. She reached out her hand to signal for Grace to leave.

But Grace shook her head. She hadn't heard much, so they couldn't leave yet.

They needed some patience.

Eventually, they waited long enough.

"Candace!" After a long while, Lawrence said, "Our son, Lowell, was badly beaten. I don't know where Lowell is now, and that's why I said that we did the wrong thing. We shouldn't have sent Lowell to them. This was a wrong and dangerous decision, and has caused our son to get injured."

Upon hearing this, Alice got mad. She motioned to pull Grace over and was ready to rush out.

Grace held Alice's hand tightly to prevent her from leaving.

Grace shook her head.

Alice opened her eyes wide. She couldn't understand why Grace refused to leave.
