"Yes, I called you," Candace said in a cold tone.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Timothy's voice was equally frosty.
"I'm in the hospital, my death is nearing." Candace said, "There is some unfinished business that I need to get off my chest. I would like you to swing by the hospital."
"You are going to die?" The voice on the other line sounded surprised. Taking a short pause, Timothy said, "How can a woman like you die so easily? This is absurd, and you'd better lay off this nonsense. I don't have the time to see you, nor do I wish to see you."
"Timothy, when someone is on their deathbed, their words are as honest as can be. I'm hoping that you can get here as soon as possible because I have something important to tell you."
"I have nothing to say to you. Everything has been over long ago." Timothy said calmly, "Whatever happened between us is over. This meeting is uncalled for."
"Timothy!" Candace said, her tone nervous, "Don't hang up, please. I want to see you once, just this once."
"What on earth do you want to do? Just tell me over the call."
"No!" Candace refused. "I have to meet you. Please come over, Timothy. I am in the hospital. The address is the Number One Hospital. There are a lot of people guarding the door. They may not allow you to come in, but please, you must come and see me."
Timothy didn't seem to believe Candace. "There is not a need to see you anymore. You have nothing to do with me."
"I'm really dying. This will be the last time that we meet. I owe you a secret."
"Candace, what kind of tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
"You'll know when you get here. I won't let you leave empty-handed." Candace said, "So you must come here."
After hesitating for a while, Timothy caved into her persistence. He said, "Okay, I'll go. You'd better not play tricks on me."
"I don't have much time left. What can I do for you? Whatever, after seeing me this time, it will be the last," Candace said frankly.
Timothy also thought that there was no harm in meeting her once. "When should I go?"
"Surely the sooner the better. Now is as good as time as any," Candace said in a low voice. "I'll wait for you!"
"Well, give me some time. I'll hit the road right now."
After hanging up, Candace placed the phone down, looked up at the ceiling, and shut her eyes.
Alex called Grace.
"Madam Grace, Madam Lowe has made a call to a person called Timothy, asking to see this person just once. He is on the way to the hospital now."
"Timothy who?" Grace was very surprised. "Somehow, that name rings a bell."
"Timothy is a famous real estate tycoon in Northern City. His real estate property takes up 20% of the entire Northern City," Alex told Grace what little information he had gleaned. "As far as I know, he must be a famous and important figure in Northern City."
To Grace's surprise, Timothy had garnered power now. Still, she didn't quite understand why Candace would be looking for him.
Grace then said to Alex, "Keep an eye on her for me and see what she wants from Timothy."
"Yes."
After hanging up the call, Grace was pondering deeply and decided to notify Heinz of the news.
When he heard the news, Heinz was also slightly startled.
"Timothy Yarbrough?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "I have met Mr. Yarbrough several times. He is quite famous in the city's real estate industry. He has developed the city exceptionally well, especially in the recent seven or eight years. I heard that he went through a lot of hardships. Starting everything from scratch, it hasn't been easy for him to achieve all that he owns today."
