Chapter 155

At 6:30 a.m..

When Grace Smith got up, she had a splitting headache and almost fell on the ground.

"hggh, hggh, hggh —" She coughed as soon as she got out of bed.

"Mommy, why are you coughing?" Gary rubbed his eyes and came out from the bathroom.

"Little Gary?" Grace Smith looked at her son. "You're up?"

"Ah?" Gary's eyes widened. "You too have a runny nose. It's so serious. Are you having a cold?"

Grace was stunned and immediately said, "Yes indeed. Stay away from me so that I don't infect you."

"Sister, what's wrong?" Hearing their voices, Alice also came out of her room. "It sounds bad!" "I have a

cold." Grace said, "Alice, please prepare breakfast for Gary. I'll go to my room and take some medicine.

I don't want to spread it to you all."

As she spoke, she hurried back to her room.

Gary and Alice looked at each other, and Alice said, "Gary, I'll get medicine for your mommy first. You

go wash up."

"I'll get mommy a glass of water." Gary went to get some water.

Grace was looking for her medicine, but she didn't

find it anywhere.

Alice took the medicine box in and said, "Sister, the medicine is here."

"Don't come so close to me." Grace once again emphasized, "No, this cold is unlike anything else. It's

contagious and it will make you bad."

Alice didn't take her words seriously. "Sister, I don't think you have a viral infection, you have a common

cold. You came back yesterday all sweaty, and your hair was wet. After taking a shower, you

immediately went to sleep, I think that's why!"

Grace was stunned. She touched her face, felt the heat from it, and said, "I think I have a fever, I'm just

afraid that it's not it."

"It most likely is just the common cold," Alice said, "You take the medicine. I'll take care of the child."

“Hm.” Grace nodded.

After giving Grace her medicine, and also heating up the food for the breakfast, Alice sent Gary to

school, while Grace stayed at home alone.

While she was lying in bed, her phone rang.

She picked up the phone, didn't even look at it, and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." A deep voice came from the other end.

Grace was stunned, and her mind short-circuited for a moment. "It's you?"

"Why do you sound so ill?" Heinz called her early in the morning, their time apart had him missing her

very much.

"Sigh." Grace didn't say anything and sighed first. "I have a cold. It's all your fault. I don't have any

energy left now, and my nose is so stuffed."

"Have you been to the clinic yet?" Heinz asked in a deep voice.

"No," Grace said. "It's only a cold, after taking some medicine I am sure I will be fine."

"No, I'll pick you up and get a check at the hospital's clinic." He ordered, "I'll arrive in twenty minutes.

Tell me which block you live in."

"Don't come here." Grace immediately said, "I really don't need your help."

"No." He refused immediately. "You must go to the hospital. It's better to see a doctor!"

"Really, you don't have to do that," Grace said again. "I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

"Say that again, and I'll find out where you live," Heinz replied.

"Ah, I'm so frustrated!" Grace complained, "Sure, I'll go to the hospital, okay? When you enter to the

apartment area, take a left turn on the first building, followed by a right turn, and you'll find me."

"Very well." He replied.

Grace then got up and changed her clothes. She tied up her hair and picked up a big pack of tissue

papers in case of a runny nose. She also put on a thick coat. She picked up her bag and went out.

She did not want Heinz to come up to her door, so she decided to go down to the ground floor to wait

for him by herself.

She was really dizzy. She didn't feel too good after taking the medicine.

When she went downstairs, Heinz hadn't arrived yet. There were still five minutes left

until their agreed meeting time.

After a while, Grace saw a Bentley driving over quickly. Its speed exceeded the speed limit permitted in

the neighbourhood.

The car stopped beside her while she was in a daze. It was very close to her.

Heinz got out of the car and walked towards her. In a flash, he appeared in front of her. Without saying

anything, he reached out his hand and touched her forehead.

"You're burning up, why didn't you go to the hospital? Do you want to die?" Heinz scolded.

Grace was being scolded like a child, there was no tenderness or sweetness between them at all.

She was sick and hoped to be comforted, but she didn't expect that she would be scolded so early in

the morning.

Grace pursed her lips and looked at him, and her tone became cold. "Did you eat something awful for

breakfast this morning? Why are your words so bitter?"

He was stunned. He opened his mouth and said, "Get in the car."

He didn't argue with her. He opened the car door, took her big bag, and put it on the car seat.

When she got in the car, she was still angry.

Heinz fastened her seat belt for her and got in the

car.

Seeing that Grace didn't speak and looked very angry, he took a breath and said, "This is the

consequence from your cold shower yesterday."

Grace argued, "This is the consequence of you bringing me out late at night."

Heinz turned to look at her and said, "Perhaps both."

"Anyway, it's your fault." She said.

"If you weren't so melodramatic and listened to me yesterday, you wouldn't be like this!" He also

complained, "Why did you have to take a cold shower."

"What's wrong with you?" Grace looked at him and rolled her eyes. "I'm feeling horrible now, and you

still blame me. Did you think that I would have wanted to pounce on you and sleep with you instead?"

When Grace said it, her face turned red and she quickly turned her face away.

Heinz looked at her, his deep eyes twinkled, and said, "It turns out that you are a little embarrassed to

say that you slept with me, that's why you are like this. Women never speak their minds."

Grace was stunned and looked at him. She frowned and said, "You are the one who didn't keep your

promise alright?"

Heinz smiled and said, "Then we are the same."

Grace raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Anyway, it's all your fault."

Heinz said, "That's why I came to pick you up to see a doctor."novelbin

Grace rolled her eyes. She regretted coming out early in the morning to go visit the doctor with him. It

was better to sleep at home after taking the medicine.

This woman was really vengeful.

Heinz sighed and thought. "Wasn't it yesterday that I couldn't resist her and had to conquer her a few

times? Even at night?"

She was still holding a grudge against him.

"Let's go see a doctor. I've asked Lester to get you into the VIP ward. We will have you get the

treatment you need. If you need an injection, then get it done and go home. If you need to be warded in

the hospital, it's okay as well."

Grace was stunned. "Getting warded for a cold?"

"If you're infected with some deadly virus, you'll have to be quarantined!" Heinz said.

Grace frowned and said, "Can't you say something nice? I'm feeling so uncomfortable, and here you

are telling me this. You've gone too far, you know?"

"Something nice?" He looked at her and felt that women were very strange. They liked soft and sweet

words.

And so, he toned down his voice, and looked gentle at this moment: "Listen to me. Be a good girl and

we can only sleep together once you get better."

Grace's heart suddenly burst into flames.

Sex, sex, sex.

This guy was simply...

She shut up and closed her eyes.

On the way, she didn't say a word.

She got down from the car in the parking lot when they arrived at the hospital. Heinz helped her carry

her bag, and both of them headed inside together.

At the hospital entrance, they saw a person coming out.

It was Marry Smith.

Grace was astonished.

Marry was dumbstruck as well.
