Female Novel
Chapter 372
"No!" said the old woman as she shook her head. "I'm just here to get some medicine; I'm not here for
Queenie."
"Did something happen?" Heinz asked in surprise, "Are you in poor health? Where is the aunt who I
hired to take care of you? Why are she and the bodyguard not with you?"
"Heinz, she is on vacation and the bodyguard is taking care of your uncle at home," she said with a
sigh. "Both your uncle and I have high blood pressure."
Heinz frowned again and said, "How about this, I'll schedule a physical examination for the two of you
on Monday."
Heinz couldn't bear to leave her alone. He insisted on helping the old woman into the hospital.
"No need. We don't need a health check- up. Although there are some issues, our conditions are
alright," the woman said. "Heinz, you don't have to accompany me. Your girlfriend is still waiting for
you."
"It's okay," Heinz replied while subconsciously turning around to look in the direction of the car.
They were too far away from each other.
He couldn't see whether Grace was in the car but there was no one outside the car. She must have
gotten into the car.
He pursed his lips. He didn't know what Grace was thinking at that moment.
There was a hint of worry and solemnity in his gaze.
Now it was obviously not the right time to reveal all of that to Grace.
After all, their relationship had not reached the stage where they would be inseparable.
He did not dare to risk it.
He turned around and supported the old lady. Then, they walked into the hospital together.
They arrived at the pharmacy. However, she needed to get a prescription before she could take the
medicine. It would be difficult for her since she had to line up.
Heinz accompanied her to the outpatient clinic to get a prescription for the medicine. Then, they went to
get the medicine.
Grace watched Heinz supporting the lady into the building from a distance. She sat in the car, thinking
that perhaps she was a relative. It was right for Heinz to go and take care of the lady, especially when
the old lady's complexion was pale earlier, which meant that she might be unwell.
Grace waited for a long time, but Heinz didn't return to the car.
However, she saw Lester coming out of the hospital with several large bags full of medicine.
When Grace saw him walking to the car, she quickly got out of the car and asked, "Lester, are all these
medicines for me alone?"
"Yes, Miss Smith." Lester said, "These are only for two weeks. They have to be consumed once in the
morning and once in the evening. After two weeks, I will come and get the next batch of medicine for
the following two weeks."
"Sounds a little troublesome," Grace smiled and said. "Thank you, Lester."
"Miss Smith, you don't have to thank me," Lester said. He scanned the car's interior and realised that
Heinz was not in the car. Then, he proceeded to say, "It's our pleasure that you are together with Mr.
Jones. Otherwise, we would have to look at his icy face every day. It's really tiresome"
Grace was embarrassed for a moment before she repeated, "Icy face?"
"Yes." Lester nodded vigorously and said, "A few days ago, the president was in a bad mood. He acted
as if we owed him something. It was really scary."
"Really?" Grace remembered that the man's temper was very bad. When he was agitated, he did look
like a lunatic. It must have been really scary.novelbin
"Of course." Lester nodded with a smile and said, "If the president is around, I won't dare to say it."
Then, he lowered his voice in embarrassment and said, "I can only voice these harmless complaints to
you."
Grace also smiled.
"Where did the president go?" Lester asked with a smile.
"Well, he met a lady and helped her into the building. He hasn't come out for a long time," Grace
replied. "Perhaps he has gone to help her."
"A lady?" Lester asked in surprise.
Grace nodded and said, "Yes, a gray-haired lady."
Lester was shocked again. When he looked at Grace, there was a complex emotion in his eyes.
"Do you know her?" Grace asked.
Lester immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know which lady you are referring to, but the
president has a lot of old acquaintances."
"Old acquaintances?" Grace repeated those two words.
"Yes. I'll put the medicine in the car now," Lester said while opening the trunk and putting all the
medicine in.
He lifted his eyes to look at Grace and his gaze reflected a little concern for her.
"Miss Smith, let me see where the president is. You can sit and wait in the car," Lester said.
"Okay." Grace nodded and said, "He should be back soon."
Lester nodded slightly and left quickly.
Grace sat in the car, feeling bored.
Lester found Heinz outside the pharmacy. Heinz and a woman were standing there and the former was
helping the latter to line up. When Lester saw the scene, he was instantly shocked.
Lester stood at a distance and watched Heinz. He saw that Heinz was standing straight with a calm
expression on his face but his eyes were filled with deep and strong emotions.
Lester took a deep breath and walked over.
In a flash, he arrived at Heinz's side and called, "President."
Heinz turned to look at Lester and frowned. He asked, "Have you collected the medicine?"
"Yes, I have," Lester nodded and said. Then, he looked at the woman and greeted respectfully, "Aunt
Drake."
"Oh, it's you, Lester," Pearlyn Drake, Jodie's mother, said. She looked at Lester, who was standing in
front of her and smiled.
"You're also here," she said.
"Yes," Lester replied. "Please let me accompany you to get the medicine."
"Well, good. You've come at the right time. Please accompany me and let Heinz go back to accompany
his girlfriend," she said.
Lester was slightly shocked and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. She knew about this.
He subconsciously looked at Heinz.
Heinz ordered plainly, "I'll accompany her to get the medicine. You can arrange a car to send her back."
"Okay," Lester replied. He immediately took out his phone to arrange for someone to pick her up.
"Heinz, you can go back," Pearlyn said. "I know you are worried about me but Lester can accompany
me. Don't worry."
"Let's talk about it after collecting your medicine," Heinz said. "I'm not in a hurry."
"You're not in a hurry but the young lady might be," Pearlyn countered. "Have you told her about your
past?"
Heinz was silent. He had no reply to that.
Pearlyn examined his expression and sighed, "Look, if you don't say it, she will be sad when she finds
out in future. Heinz, find a opportunity to tell her about it. She will understand you."
"I know," Heinz nodded and said. "I'll tell her. Don't worry. Grace is a good person and a kind woman."
"That's good," Pearlyn replied.
They waited and lined up to collect the medicine.
Lester took the medicine and supported one of Pearlyn's arms while Heinz held her other arm.
Pearlyn said again, "Heinz, this won't do. You have to go back as soon as possible. The girl must have
waited anxiously. It's been more than 40 minutes."
Heinz looked at his watch and realized that it had indeed been more than 40 minutes.
He nodded but insisted on helping Pearlyn to the side of the car. After escorting her into the car, he
said, "I'll go back tomorrow to visit you and Dad."
Pearlyn immediately waved her hand and said, "No, it's really not necessary."
Heinz replied, "I haven't been there for a few months.
I should go over for a visit. I'll be there tomorrow."
