Chapter 368
"That's right," Heinz replied in a firm voice.
Chief Stone was slightly surprised. She looked up and down at Grace for a long time, and then she
turned to look at Heinz again with a sharp look in her eyes.
A glint of nervousness could be seen in Heinz's eyes but he quickly concealed it.
He looked directly at Chief Stone and said earnestly, "Aunt Stone, I'm serious."
Chief Stone was shocked. She gave him a deep stare and turned to look in the direction of the window.
After that, she turned back around and said to Heinz, "I know you are serious. If you brought her here
without being serious, I would not let you off the hook so easily."
Heinz nodded and smiled slightly.
"I understand. Don't worry," Chief Stone smiled and said.
Heinz opened the door reluctantly and walked out.
Only Grace and Chief Stone remained in the room now. The atmosphere was a little silent, but Chief
Stone was still smiling.
"Nice to meet you, Young Lady," Chief Stone said.
"Hello, Chief Stone," Grace replied politely and even used the honorific title to greet her. Then, she
said, "My name is Grace Smith."
When Chief Stone heard her reply, she smiled and said, "Miss Smith, you are a very polite child. On top
of that, you are beautiful and gentle."
"You are flattering me too much, Chief Stone. Please call me Grace," said Grace gently. Except for
blushing, Grace was in no way rude.
Grace tried her best to be open-minded. Although she didn't know what was the relationship between
this middle-aged lady and Heinz, from the way Heinz addressed her, she must be someone close to
him.
They must at least share a good relationship.
"Are you unwell?" Chief Stone asked like a parent.
"Actually, I'm not that unwell," Grace said. "But Heinz is making a big fuss over it."
"Really? It's a good thing that he's worried about you." Chief Stone smiled and said, "To be valued by a
man is a woman's blessing."
Grace was stunned to hear this.
"Not every woman is as lucky as you," Chief Stone added.
Grace was a little awkward when she heard that.
However, she smiled faintly and kept quiet.
When Chief Stone saw that Grace smiled but remained silent, she seemed to realize something
instantly. She immediately apologized, "Sorry, I speak too directly. Please don't take it to heart."
"I didn't," Grace shook her head and said.
"Come, let's go over there." Chief Stone then stood up with a smile and walked to the chair on the other
side of the desk.
Grace followed suit. She realized that she was in the director's office. There were two tables placed
opposite each other. There was a chair on one side of the table, which was beside the window.
Meanwhile, a tall square stool was placed on the other side of the table.
"Please sit down," Chief Stone said as she sat on the chair. She motioned Grace to sit on the square
stool.
"Thank you," Grace said and sat down.
There were some green plants by the window. The aloe vera was very lush.
There was also a large pot situated beside several small pots. Some lush aloe veras were planted in
the pots.
Grace looked at the plants and found them pleasing to her eyes.
Chief Stone smiled and said, "This aloe vera was given to me by a girl. Now, It's green and luxuriant,
and it produces smaller plants. The plants are still around, but the girl is no longer here."
Grace didn't expect that Chief Stone would talk about her own personal affairs. Grace was startled and
didn't know how to respond.
No longer here?
Had she passed away?
Chief Stone said, "Sorry, I always think about the past in my old age. When I see Heinz today, I can't
help but remember that girl."
Grace felt that a little odd. She said, "The person you're talking about must be an excellent person."
The person had had a green thumb and had everyone thinking about her. Grace thought that the
person must be someone of good character.
"She was a good child," Chief Stone smiled and said. "In this world, not many people can tolerate
Heinz's character. It's a pity that good people don't live long. That child died in a foreign country."
She was indeed dead.
"My condolences," Grace was sorry to hear that.
Such a good person had died.
She thought that Chief Stone would tell her more and she was very keen to listen, but Chief Stone did
not continue.
Grace didn't know who the girl was. Seeing the pots full of aloe veras, Grace deduced that she must
have treasured life very much.
"It has been many years since." Chief Stone shook her head and smiled again. Then, she said, "Come
on, child, I'll take your pulse."
"Okay," Grace replied. She quickly stretched out her hand and put it on the table. She was ready for
her diagnosis.
When Chief Stone reached out to check Grace's pulse, the whole room became quiet.
Chief Stone didn't say anything.
Grace was also quiet.
After feeling her pulse for a while, Chief Stone opened her mouth and said, "Girl, you have irregular
periods, don't you?"
Grace nodded. She felt that Chief Stone was like a god that sees all and replied, "Yes, my periods have
always been irregular."
"It has never come on a fixed date or is the duration unusual?" she inquired.
"It has never been regular and the duration varies," Grace said, "Sometimes, it came after 28 days,
sometimes 32 days, 36 days, 56 days, three months or two months. The duration of my period also
varies."
"Your body is indeed very weak," Chief Stone said. "Judging from your pulse, you would be in great
pain during your period. There may be blood clots as well. You often feel dizzy, don't you?"
"Yes," Grace nodded immediately.novelbin
Chief Stone added, "Let me check your other hand."
Grace quickly stretched out her other hand.
Chief Stone checked the pulse on Grace's left hand.
After a while, she said, "You've been sick for more than four years, haven't you?"
Grace was startled again. Deep down in her heart, she admired Chief Stone for her expertise. She had
not expected that she would be able to deduce that from her pulse.
"Yes," Grace nodded and honestly answered. "It's been five years."
After she had given birth to Little Gary and lost her other child, she was sad and depressed. She had
been in a dark place for a while, and her health had been poor.
In addition to that, she had been working all this
while, so her body had not fully recovered.
Chief Stone said, "Well, I'll run a B-scan on you. Then, about three days after your period is over, you
can come here to do an endocrine test."
"Okay," Grace nodded and agreed.
"Follow me," Chief Stone said.
Then, Chief Stone spoke as she got up and walked out, "Well just examine in the ward. There's no
need to go to the front."
"Okay, I'll follow your instruction," Grace agreed and followed her out.
As soon as the door opened, they saw Heinz standing near the door. He immediately walked up to
them and asked, "How is it? Have you finished examining her?"
"Why are you so nervous?" Chief Stone looked at him and said, "You can go inside and wait for us. I'll
take her for an examination."
Heinz immediately added, "I'll go with you too."
"Men are not allowed to enter the B-scan ultrasonography room," Chief Stone told him.
"Ah..." Heinz stopped in his tracks angrily.
Chief Stone then took Grace away.
Grace sneaked a glance at him and followed Chief Stone to an examination room that was ten meters
in front of her.
After they went in.
Chief Stone said to a doctor who stood opposite her, "Lilian, this is my niece-in-law. Please examine
her
carefully."
"Yes, Chief Stone." Dr. Ross immediately asked Grace to lie down on the examination bed.
Grace was ready to let the doctor examine her.
When her stomach was exposed, Chief Stone glanced at her and a trace of surprise flashed through
her eyes.
