Candace gnashed her teeth as she shouted, "How dare you!"

"Haven't you already experienced it firsthand?"

Grace responded blandly. "You've suffered enough last night. Do you intend on continuing today?"

Candace opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

She pursed her lips.

Grace gazed at her coldly, a new impression of Candace imprinted on her. "I don't mind if you are willing to experience it again."

The mother and daughter looked at each other in silence.

After a long time, Candace asked, "Where is Lowell?"

"I'm taking care of him," Grace replied. "Oh, that's not right. Heinz is the one taking care of him. You must be disappointed, even if I want to take care of Lowell, I don't have the ability to do so anymore." At the moment, she couldn't afford to raise a child with such high costs of living.

If it weren't for Heinz, she would've needed to work even harder. She might be able to raise him well, but it would be nowhere near as good as Heinz could do it.

Candace furrowed her brows.

After a long time, she said, "I know about my own health. You don't have to worry about me. Let me go. I just want you to take care of Lowell for me. That's all."

"You wanted me to break up with Heinz, didn't you? You also wanted Alice to break up with Jensen. Oh, by the way, you know Aaron too. Your life is so exciting that I just can't ignore it." Grace remarked bitterly

"I did want you to break up with Heinz," Candace answered. "But you've already gotten married to him, and that's that. Now, I think that you should just continue on with him. It seems like you guys aren't afraid of divorce anyway."

Grace gave a hollow laugh as she said sorrowfully, "Are you going to die soon? You know that you are dying, so you tried so hard to make us hate you, and even left Lowell to us before you die."

Candace's eyes sank, and her voice was as cold as ice as she responded, "Everyone will die, sooner or later, and you are not an exception."

Grace felt her heart twist in knots. It was surprisingly painful.

"Are you going to the hospital or not?" Grace repeated.

"Have you had enough?" Candace refused with a frown. "You're so weird. What do my life and death have anything to do with you? Aren't you guys looking forward to my death? Why the need for a physical examination?"

"Yes, I do hate you for abandoning my grandmother, my dad, and us," Grace admitted.

That hatred might last for a lifetime.

"We do wish for your death, but we are not the same. We aren't as cruel as you are." Alice added as she came over and gazed at Candace. Hatred and concern were both evident in her eyes. "We won't just sit idly by as you die. This is just human nature."

"Don't shed crocodile tears in front of me," Candace snapped. She didn't appreciate their concern at all, and there was a note of sarcasm in her voice.

Upon hearing her words, Alice was so angry that her entire body trembled in anger. She had long known that Candace was heartless, and it turned out that she had wasted her feelings on Candace.

"Grace, forget it," Alice spoke. "Her life and death have nothing to do with us. Why should we waste our time on such a heartless woman?"

Of course, Grace knew Alice was just saying that out of anger. How could she not know about the resentment and worry that Alice had fortheir mother?

However, worry overpowered the hatred in her heart. The two of them weren't so cruel to leave their mother to die. This human nature was probably what sets humans apart from animals.

It was because she was their mother, and she was the person who gave birth to them.

Grace's expression did not change. She looked at Candace calmly and stated, "You don't want to go to the hospital because you are afraid that your health condition will be exposed. However, you are no match for us. You neither have the strength nor the ability to resist us."

Candace paused, and she quickly argued, "I'm not sick. I'm fine. Have you ever seen such a noisy and robust patient?"

"Stop it." Grace cut her off lowly. Then, she shouted at the door, "Guys, come in!"

Immediately, Heinz and Jensen entered.

Looking at the old woman sitting on the bed, she was totally different from how she looked like the previous day.

Both Heinz and Jensen were surprised.

They couldn't link the two appearances together.

Candace seemed to have suddenly aged over ten years, and people would believe that she was now a 70-year-old woman with her current appearance.

How could there be such a contrast between her appearance before applying makeup, and after removing it? It was too astounding.

Heinz and Jensen were both equally stunned. They quietly exchanged glances with each other.

The doubtful feeling on their minds had turned into sympathy at this moment. They were not related by blood, and they were also sick of what she had done. However, when they saw her current state, they were still dumbfounded.

No wonder Alice and Grace had been moved by her. They had seen their mother's current state.

It seemed like they couldn't bear it in the end.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.

If there was no love, how could there be

hatred?

That woman was the one who gave birth to them, and their relationship would never change. There was also an imperishable emotion in blood ties.

Grace understood what they were thinking about when she noticed the shock written all over their faces. "Heinz, send two men over to take her to the hospital for examination. She refused to cooperate with us So, well send her to the hospital by force."

Heinz nodded and turned to Alex, who was waiting for the order by the door. "Alex, send her to the hospital for a full-body examination. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, everything has already been prepared according to your instructions, including the doctors and the instruments at the hospital. The only thing we need to do now, is to wait for her to reach there, and conduct a full-body examination. I will arrange for people to send her to the hospital right away. It'll be a one-stop service. Everything will be done at once," Alex replied. "Okay." Heinz nodded.

Candace was still very resistant as she exclaimed, "No, no!"

As she gazed at the people rushing over to her, she frowned deeply. She was terrified.

"I'm not going. Just let me be free! I won't do anything against all of you anymore, and you guys have already gotten married. There's no point in any of this anymore. Just set me free, okay?"

Grace pursed her lips and refused firmly, "No way. You are irresponsible, but it doesn't mean that I will also be irresponsible."

Candace didn't want to cooperate with them at all. Although Grace didn't know exactly what Candace was thinking, she knew she was trying to escape from reality.

"The harder she tries to escape, the more problems that will arise. I think it's better to send her to the hospital for a full-body examination immediately. There's no need to waste time," Heinz suggested as he looked at Grace.
