"Okay." Grace nodded and said to Alex, "Hurry up."

"Yes!"

As soon as the order was given, Alex came in with two bodyguards. They supported Candace and left.

The bodyguards were strong, and they held Candace between them effortlessly.

Looking at them, Grace felt a little worried for her mother.

In the next moment, a bodyguard pushed a wheelchair in from the doorway. They placed Candace on the wheelchair, and then handcuffed Candace's wrists onto the armrests of the wheelchair. Grace was instantly relieved.

With her hands bound to the wheelchair, she could no longer run away. On the other hand, she would feel more comfortable in the wheelchair.

This was the best arrangement.

Heinz then suggested. "Let's go to the hospital together! In any case, everyone will be anxiously waiting for the results if we stay here. It will be better for us to go to the hospital, so we can receive the results for every examination right away."

After pondering for a while, Grace nodded and agreed. "Alright, let's go."

Alice also agreed.

Then, everyone headed to the hospital.

In the hospital's examination room, Candace still resisted.

"I won't do it," she said as she shook her head.

"You have to do it even if you don't want to. You have no choice," Grace replied.

Candace pursed his lips and snorted.

When the doctor saw her behavior, he said, "Madam Lowe, it was very unwise to conceal your illness and refuse to consult the doctors. We can't keep it a secret forever."

Candace didn't reply to that.

She then began to undergo the examination.

When an ultrasound scan was performed on her abdomen, the doctor exclaimed as soon as he saw what was inside her body.

In that instant, Candace pursed her lips and fell silent. She laid there without any resistance as if she had accepted her fate.

Only she and the doctors were present in the examination room.

Candace suddenly spoke, "Doctor, I know about my own condition. Can you help me hide it? I really don't want them to know about it."

The expression of the doctor changed suddenly. The more he looked at it, the greater his astonishment. Upon hearing Candace's request, he frowned and refused. "I'm sorry, Madam Lowe. We have to perform our duties as pledged to Mr. Jones. I think it's better if we explain your situation to them, and let them make preparations for it."

After that, a doctor headed outside.

The other doctor, who was in charge of the scanning procedure, continued to conduct the examination on Candace.

Candace still shouted, "Shouldn't the doctor respect the patient's privacy?"

"I'm sorry, Madam Lowe. We can't cover it up for you." The doctor, who was walking towards the door, turned back and answered.

After that, he opened the door and went out.

Grace was surprised when she saw the doctor. "Wait, what happened?"

She didn't expect the results to be released so soon. The doctor looked at her and lowered his voice as he explained. "We had just carried out an ultrasound scan on her abdomen. I noted that there are numerous tumors in her abdominal cavity. They are enveloping all the organs within, and they have been spreading very fast to other parts of her body as well." "Tumours?" Grace was shocked.

"It's a metastatic cancer."

Of course, Grace knew that the tumors meant cancer, and they must have been spreading elsewhere after filling up the abdominal cavity.

Apparently, her illness was very serious.

Plus, Candace should have known about it long ago.

Grace's mind went blank.

Heinz was also stunned. He exchanged a look with Jensen, and the two of them went to comfort their wives.

Alice was dumbfounded, and her face turned pale.

"The patient probably knew about her own condition. While all of us were surprised, she had asked us to hide it from you." The doctor continued.

Grace's body trembled slightly, and she almost lost her balance.

Heinz held her back from stumbling.

"Okay." Grace answered softly, her entire body quivering. She didn't know how to accept this fact.

15 minutes later, Candace was pushed out in her wheelchair.

The doctor then suggested. "The patient should be hospitalized."

Candace was slumped in the wheelchair with drooping shoulders, with a dull look in her eyes. She said weakly, "I will not stay in the hospital. I know that I have less than two months to live. Long ago, another doctor had already determined that I didn't have much time left. I don't want to die in the hospital."

After that, she closed her eyes and leaned back on the wheelchair as she continued. "I can't raise Lowell anymore. You will be entrusted to take care of him."

The look in Grace's eyes changed. She could understand that if it was really because of Candace's health condition. She could accept it if she was asked to take care of Lowell.

However, what on earth was Candace doing?

Grace stepped forward and looked at Candace. She said angrily, "What's going on between you, Aaron, and Jodie? You have been colluding with them. What are you trying to do?"

Candace opened her eyes and glanced at Grace before she replied, "I only know Aaron, who once saved Lowell's father's life. As for Jodie, I only know about the existence of this person through videos and news."

Grace clenched her fists, unsure of whether she should believe Candace's words.

Suddenly, she turned around and left.

Alice also glared at Candace and said coldly, "We really don't know whether we should trust you or not."

Candace wore a self-deprecating smile on her face as she replied, "No one is asking you to do that."

Heinz promptly instructed Alex and the doctor. "She will be hospitalized. Arrange for some bodyguards to keep an eye on her. Hire some care workers to take care of her as well. Also, monitor her phone's call log, and see who she is in contact with."

Candace furrowed her brows and remarked. "Heinz, you're too overbearing."

Heinz then replied emotionlessly, "I've always been that way. If I were to be soft-hearted, someone would be able to take advantage of that, and cause harm to Grace."

Candace gazed at Heinz.

Heinz swept his cold gaze across Candace's face and continued. "You should stay here to have your illness treated. As for what happened to you, the truth will come to light eventually. We will definitely replace out."

Grace, who had cooled herself off, returned and stood in front of Candace. She stared at her as she said, "You can choose not to tell us what's going on between you and Aaron. You will stay here to recuperate, and we won't bother you. Take it as a favor in return for giving birth to us. I will take good care of Lowell for you, but I firmly believe that one day, he will tell us everything. He is not a stupid child, whatever you have done and wherever you have gone these last few years, we will slowly piece them together after we hear everything from him."

After that, she turned to Heinz and said calmly, "Heinz, let's go."

In the hospital parking lot.

It was already late at night when the four of them came out.

Heinz opened the car door and Grace got in. "Heinz, I'm sorry to have bothered you with her affairs."
