True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 810

Candace seemed to be very sensitive to the word 'death1, as she immediately grew infuriated as soon as Grace mentioned it.

Grace had a hunch that Candace actually knew about her own condition.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly raised her voice.

It was obvious that she was intentionally hiding something.

Grace fixed her gaze sharply at Candace and said, "If you aren't about to die, why would you entrust Lowell to me? It seemed like you were making sure that I would take care of him after you die, weren't you?"

A trace of panic flashed across Candace's eyes, but she quickly calmed down. She narrowed her eyes at Grace, still refusing to admit it.

"Bullsh*t! I'm just too lazy to raise him. Lowell is a very thoughtful child. He will be a great helper in the future if you keep him by your side. You should thank me for that, instead of doubting my intentions," Candace responded.

Grace remained silent as she stared at Candace with a cold gaze.

Candace then continued. "In fact, in a sense, I'm helping you build bonds with people around you. As the saying goes, unity is strength, isn't it? If you raised him sincerely, how could he betray you?" "Nonsense!" Alice blurted out as she couldn't hold back her anger anymore. "How can you be so selfish to ask my sister to raise your son?"

Candace replied with a smile, "No, you're wrong. I'm not telling your sister to raise him all by herself. What I'm saying is that you should raise Lowell together with your sister. Don't you think you should repay your sister's kindness for raising you?"

Alice was taken aback. She had never expected Candace to say such shameless words.

"Of course I'll repay her myself. You don't have to tell me that. You can't even handle your own affairs properly. As a mother, who has yet to fulfill your duty, you're still arguing with me here," she retorted. Grace then turned to Alice and stated, "Alice, there's no need to waste your breath on her. She's sick."

Candace immediately shouted anxiously, "I'm not sick! I'm fine."

"Now, get up and go to the hospital with us. We'll have a comprehensive examination." Grace walked over and ordered indifferently.

As she stood before Candace from a close distance, she realized Candace was in a worse state than she had anticipated.

Grace's eyes widened in shock.

It seemed that Candace didn't want Grace to know about her condition, so she turned away with a sneer and covered up her face with strands of her hair.

"What? Stop being nosy. It's none of your business," Candace remarked.

"Fine, I won't care," Grace responded as she stared down at Candace.

The roots of her hair were grayish- white. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that Candace had dyed her hair.

Grace was stunned, and she squinted her eyes in confusion.

She then took a deep breath and asked, "Weren't you looking for me? You've been putting in so much effort to replace me. Now, you can tell me what your purpose is." Candace sneered as she replied sarcastically, "You didn't come when I looked for you. Now, you are here when I don't want to see you."

Grace was beyond impatient at this point.

"Speak, what's your problem? Don't beat around the bush, I don't have the patience for that."

"Huh." Candace sneered, and a sinister laugh erupted from her lips. She suddenly turned to meet Grace's eyes, and she revealed her face beneath the strands of her hair. Grace's body tensed up in an instant.

She looked at Candace in shock. Candace was really old.

The nasolabial folds on her face were very deep, and her skin was so rough that it looked as if she was 70 years old. Furthermore, she was as pale as a ghost. Grace was dumbfounded.

She suddenly felt her heart twist into knots. At this moment, she realized that the woman in her memory had aged a lot.

She looked at least 20 years older than her peers despite her real age.

This was too shocking.

Grace felt that Candace shouldn't be like this.

What the hell was going on with her?

Candace stopped laughing, and cooled off a little. She was still wearing a sinister smile on her face as she questioned, "Now that I've become like this, are you satisfied?"

Grace stood still in silence.

She stared at her mother in front of her with a complicated expression. It was true that she didn't expect her mother to appear like this, and her mother looked so old that her appearance didn't match her actual age.

Grace had mixed feelings about it. After a while, she finally opened her mouth and responded, "Why should I feel satisfied to see you like this?"

Candace immediately shouted, "You hate me. Shouldn't you be happy to take pleasure in my misfortune?"

"It was supposed to be that way, but I just don't understand," Grace answered. "Since you've run away from home and abandoned all of us, why didn't you live a good life for yourself? Why have you become the state that you're in?"

Candace sneered. "What do you mean by 'abandoned all of you'? I think that I've been kind and caring to everyone."

"Kind and caring? Grandma was so lonely and helpless. How can you leave her alone? She brought you over from Southland. Over the years, you were her only hope. How could you abandon her?" Grace retorted.

"Why couldn't I do that? Did she think about my feelings when she brought me over? Did she ever think that I might have disliked it? I needed a father, and she made me drift between different places for her own selfish desires. Did she ever ask for my opinion?" Candace snapped.

Graze froze, and was unable to answer her.

"She was the reason I had been separated from my brother ever since we were young. In addition, she was also the one who had caused me to lead a wandering life. Thanks to her, I was always hungry back then. By the time I lived a good life, I was already old. Do you know what kind of life I wanted? Your grandmother didn't even ask me about that. She was selfish." Candace continued.

Grace and Alice were both shocked to the core. They looked at their mother, Candace, who was talking about their grandmother in such a way.

It seemed that Candace really hated her own mother.

Candace snorted and continued. "She even interfered with my marriage, how could I not hate her?"

Grace was dumbstruck, and she fell speechless again.

Candace was vexed and she continued, "Your grandmother is the most selfish person in the world, and you have been deceived by her. It was beneath her dignity to leave because she didn't care about her children's future. She is the one who abandoned her husband and child. If you really want to trace it back, it should be your Grandma's responsibility. She taught me to abandon both my husband and child." Grace was blown away again.

She couldn't bear Candace to slander her grandmother, who had passed away.

"If it weren't for Grandma, we wouldn't be here today. She provided us with love and warmth while you gave us nothing. Aren't you too selfish to point the finger at her?"
