True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 822

Candace smiled lightly as she gazed at Grace and said, "So what if I have let all of you down? You have all let me down too, we're the same."

"Then why did you plan this for Lowell? You're even making a fool of yourself. Are you planning to use your dead body as part of this little setup as well?" Grace asked softly.

Candace frowned in silence. There wasn't much emotion on her pale complexion apart from that. She just stared at Grace for a long time without saying anything.

Grace also looked back at her. After a while, she said, "As you just said, it seems that my biological father is also a great man. If I follow this clue, I'll be able to replace him through DNA testing, right?" Panic flashed across Candace's eyes.

Grace continued to speak in a relaxed tone, "If I'm not mistaken, he's an authentic Northern City man. I'm just wondering, how many important and famous men are there in the entire Northern City? I need to think about where to start investigating and how to obtain their DNA specimens. Maybe I shall begin with your old classmates and friends, and those men who were with you 20 years ago to see which of them were having an affair with you. If I do it in that way, perhaps it won't be too hard for me to replace out who my father is."

Candace frowned and said, "Do you think this method is going to work? It's ridiculous. You have to be capable of collecting everyone's blood sample or DNA specimens. Not everyone is able to do it. Why do you think you are an exception? Hurry up and dispel this idea from your mind. Don't make a fool of yourself here."

"Perhaps I shall ask Heinz to hold a cocktail party and invite all the famous people in Northern City to the party. I can collect the DNA samples of these people with the glasses they used. It won't be too difficult to do so."

Candace's pale, old face still wore an indifferent complexion.

At that point, a thought came to Grace's mind. Maybe her biological father was not one of them, or perhaps he was not from Northern City.

She thought for a while and said, "But if he is not one of those people, I can try inviting the successful people outside of Northern City with Heinz. It is also applicable."

Candace interrupted her unemotionally, "Don't waste your time. It's meaningless."

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to tell me who my biological father is."

"You should have known long ago that I won't tell you. It's useless to keep asking me."

It seemed that she really couldn't get any more information, hence she gave up after giving it some thought.

She sat in Candace's ward with her and did not speak anything for a long time.

Candace looked at her a few times and said distantly, "Hurry up and leave. Don't sit here."

Grace said, "I won't leave today. You should give up this idea too. I will come to harass you every now and then in the future."

"You're very free, aren't you?" Candace berated angrily.

Grace replied faintly, "Yes, I am." She knew that she should stay here without devoting too much emotions. She did so just for her peace of mind.

Meanwhile, Alice and Lowell came back with several basins in their hands.

They were the basins for washing faces, feet and the clothes respectively.

Heinz also stood at the door. Grace almost instantly understood that it was handled by him.

In addition to the basins, there were also a few large bags, which were filled with some toiletries, including toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, wipes and so on. There were also some pajamas and other household goods. The preparation was quite comprehensive.

Alice said, "Grace, Heinz asked people to buy these household items. These things were bought in the hospital's supermarket and the clothes have been sterilized. They can be worn directly." Grace nodded and looked at the hospital gown Candace was wearing, which wrapped around her thin body. Except for the swelling on her abdomen, the rest of her body was very slender. She was really sick for having such a thin figure.

Grace got up and took a basin to fetch water. She returned with a basin of warm water and placed it on a stool. She immersed a towel into the water and wrung it out. Then, she sat by the bed and wiped Candace's face.

Graces' movements were gentle with minimal pressure exerted onto her.

Candace was completely dumbstruck.

It was not only Candace, but Alice and Lowell were also staggered.

They looked at Grace in disbelief, as she wiped their mother's face.

Candace was very surprised. She couldn't believe what she was experiencing.

Grace remained silent the whole time. All she did was just gently wipe Candace's face and her hands.

After having her face wiped with warm water, Candace felt a sense of relief from the discomfort she was experiencing.

She was experiencing mixed emotions which clearly reflected on her facial expression. She lowered her eyes and did not look at Grace as she allowed her to wipe her face, hands, and even her feet. There was a deep look of shock in Alice's eyes. She couldn't believe that her sister would wipe their mother's feet like that.

"How is this woman worthy of my sister's care?" She thought to herself.

Sensing Alice's angry gaze from the corners of her eyes, Candace came back to her senses and snapped out of the gentle treatment.

"You don't have to serve me. I don't need it," she roared in an annoyed tone.

Grace ignored Candace's gaze and said resolutely, "You need it! I think you must be in a lot of pain at this moment. Your whole body has tensed up. If it wasn't for the extreme pain, your body wouldn't be so tense. When I was wiping your hands just now, I found that your palms were full of sweat and your hands were cold. You didn't look too good."

She was right.

Candace asked gloomily, "What is this all about?"

Grace said flatly, "You don't have to be embarrassed "You are my mother. Although I don't want to admit it at all, I remember that you had given birth to me after you were pregnant for ten months and raised me. I'll remember that regardless of what type of person you turned out to become. I will repay you at this moment. It's my duty to take care of you."

"What on earth are you going to do? Don't torture me!" Candace shouted, sounding very painful.

Glancing at her, Grace said nonchalantly, "I only seek for peace of mind in doing things."

At the door, Heinz looked at the scene inside with pity in his eyes.

His wife was so generous and kind.

However, the woman on the bed, how could she be worthy of Grace's kindness? He pondered on that.

Candace looked at Grace resentfully. She noticed a sense of determination in her. Therefore, she understood that this child had a kind of persistence and stubbornness that was similar to herself, and it couldn' be suppressed by words.

Thus, she simply closed her eyes and said no more.

After cleaning Candace's body, Grace put the basin away.

Seeing that, Lowell, who was in a daze all this while, spoke to her in a low voice, "Grace, let's go home."
