True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 823

Lowell seemed to be a little too bothered that he couldn't bear to let Grace do those things.

It was normal for ordinary people to take care of their mother. However, Candace did not carry out her duty as a mother, so it should be an exception in her case.

Therefore, looking at his sister's action made Lowell both conflicted and worried about her.

Alice's eyes were also full of disapproval. She also thought that what her sister had done for her mother was heart-rending.

She might not have the right to blame her mother, but she was sure that her elder sister was more than qualified for that.

That too was because Grace was the one who raised her. Without her sister, Alice would not be able to study in college, although her sister didn't even finish college herself. All those experiences were simply unfair for Grace.

Furthermore, the tragedy started with her mother's departure from home.

With a gentle voice, Grace turned to Lowell and said, "Lowell, if you are in a hurry to leave, let Alice take you, okay?"

He shook his head and said, "No! Grace, it's not that I'm in a hurry to leave, I just want you to leave. Let's go back. You shouldn't be doing these things. It's her fault and she didn't even apologize to you. Why do you still do these things for her?"

Knowing that Lowell responded with indignation because of her, Grace felt very satisfied.

She looked at him with a very warm gaze and said, "If you ask me, I just want to tell you that I only seek a clear conscience and peace of mind for what I do. What I have done is not for our mother's sake, but for mine. What I seek for is simply the tranquility in my heart."

He looked at Grace and he seemed to have not fully understood her.

"So, I hope that this will be something you keep in mind when you do anything in the future, which is to not care about how others treat us. As long as we are calm and feel peaceful in our hearts, that is all that matters."

"Grace, I don't want to see you wronged," Lowell's voice was choked with sobs and his little face was a mess as he uttered those words. He looked at her and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he lowered his head again and became silent.

She rubbed the top of his head and said to Alice, "Alice, take with you first please."

"Grace, if you don't leave, I won't leave either," she replied.

Grace knew that Alice was actually worried about their mother, but she felt awkward to express her concern directly.

At the same time, Lowell walked to the bedside. He looked at Candace and said, "I think Grace is right. We should always have a clear conscience in doing anything. I may not be able to do what I promised you. I don't want to suffer from the pangs of conscience. I just want to be someone like Grace instead."

Candace suddenly looked up and met Lowell's eyes. She fixed her gaze on him as though she was warning him that he shouldn't behave in that way.

His face contorted and he bit his lips while he was trying hard to get rid of all kinds of distress from his mind. He shook his head and said softly, "I can't bear to deceive someone who treats me so well. I simply cannot do that."

Candace panicked when she heard Lowell's words. She shouted at him sharply, "Get out! Don't speak rubbish in front of me. I don't even know what you're talking about." It was obvious that she was somewhat in a state of panic herself.

The more she spoke, the more suspicious everyone grew; it was as if she was trying to conceal something important.

Grace immediately looked at Lowell, who had his back to her, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

He stood upright and his small body looked unusually tall and strong.

At the door, Heinz narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Lowell knew something.

Heinz and Grace looked at each other and didn't say anything.

Lowell turned around, lowered his head, and walked to the door.

Candace looked at Lowell whose back was facing her at that moment. A pang of nervousness lurked in her expression. She stretched out her hand almost as if she wanted to stop him.

Heinz's words filled her with consternation. She closed her eyes and opened them again. Under the clarity of her voice, she said in a cold tone, "You don't have to talk about him. I don't have any feelings for him. I don't remember him and I don't want to hear any news about him."

Heinz smiled and said, "As father and daughter, you two are really alike. You're both stubborn and refuse to be convinced even when you are faced with grim reality, but I don't think you're happy either."

She frowned.

"Now, you must be regretting your decision of abandoning Grace and Alice. Even if you don't want to admit it, the anxiety in your eyes shows and it has revealed your forbearance. I can see that you're regretting it," he said in a deep voice.

He went straight to the point. Those candid words filled her with dread.

She didn't even dare to look into his eyes.

He retorted again, "In any case, you are repentant for leaving Grace and Alice. In fact, it's not a big deal if you admit it. It is difficult to admit your own mistakes in front of people because it may hurt your self-esteem, but it is better than not letting it go."

Candace still didn't say anything.

There was a faint curve on Heinz's lips and his smile was very gentle. He said, "It seems that Lowell knows some secrets and he is close to a mental breakdown. He almost can't bear it anymore, maybe he will tell us everything even before we take the initiative to ask him."

She was dumbstruck and took a deep breath.

At this moment, she felt Heinz's power. A few words from him was enough to make her fear to the extreme.

"What do you want me to say?" Candace asked. She couldn't help the quiver in her voice.

Heinz said confidently, "I will know Lowell's secret soon. If you are willing to say it voluntarily, I'm all ears. However, if you are not willing to say it, I will not force you."
