Chapter 257
Heinz's eyes narrowed in embarrassment. He couldn't find a reason to refute her sarcasm.
"What are you glaring at?" Still keeping her chin high, Grace looked at him haughtily. "How could you
be so ill-tempered?"
Heinz stared at her red little mouth. Her mouth opened and closed again, she just couldn't stop talking.
In the past, he would have been very annoyed if he had encountered a clamorous woman like her.
But not her.
Two whole days of not meeting her was distressing for him.
He had wanted to see her after he left that day. But she had been ignoring him and there was not even
a single call from her. He was hoping Grace would give him an out.
He missed her like crazy.
Looking at her now, his eyes were no longer in distress as before. He gazed at her deeply and curled
his lips into a smile.
All of a sudden, he could feel a sense of enlightenment.
He glanced at her and whispered, "Have you said enough?" "No," Grace said in a low voice. There was

her eyes.
"Then go on." His anger had dissipated the moment he saw her appear in his doorway.
What he really wanted now was to hold her tight.
But he was afraid of being misunderstood by her. More so, he was worried that he would lose control
and do something regrettable.
After all, he couldn't help but want to do that kind of thing when he got close to Grace.
His woman was just in front of him, but he couldn't touch her. It was too torturing for Heinz.
Seeing him not as overbearing as before, she poked him in the chest with her finger and said, "Are you
a man?"
"You've experienced whether I am a man or not, haven't you?" he asked calmly.
Grace blushed and said, "You're a man who just turned around and left, am I right?"
"..." Heinz didn't say a word.
"How could a man be so irresponsible like you? Especially to your woman? Moreover, this woman
didn't betray you whatsoever. Why were you so mad?"
It was more than that.
Heinz knew very well that she was the woman who had saved his life.
He looked at Grace dotingly, his eyes full of tenderness.
"You turned around and left, do you think what you did was right?" Seeing that he was silent, she
questioned him again.
"No." He admitted, not intending to defend himself.
She let out a light snort and said, "No matter how upset you were, how could you abandon me like
that?"
"..." he was silent again.
"It was the doctor's instruction, not me."
Heinz stared at her for a long time.
What Grace said was fair, it was his fault that he couldn't control his emotions.
He failed to put a stop to it.
"Say something," Grace said.
He was still in a daze and asked, "Say what?"
"Apologize sincerely, if you want me to forgive you. If not, get out of my way," she said in a low voice.
He paused, facing her, and said, "I'm sorry."
Grace looked at him. It was hard for a man with a big ego like him to apologize for his mistakes. She
felt she had made her point.
She nodded and said, "Fine, I forgive you."
A smile crossed his face.
They fixed their gazes on each other, both smiling.
Seeing the charming look on her face, his heart melted.
Stretching out his hands, he took her into his arms. "Grace."
Yes?"
Aside from calling her name, he didn't utter a word.
She was great.
She had no fear of criticizing him directly. She even came to his office and gave him the chance to sort
things out.
He was so touched that tears could be seen welling up in his eyes.
"It's my fault." He finally opened his mouth and said, "I really couldn't hold it back that night. I wanted
you so much, but I didn't take care of your health. I shouldn't have done that." "Heinz." Grace buried
her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "It's easy to risk our lives for each other. What's
difficult is to tolerate each other and resolve our conflicts so that we can stay together for a long time."
Not everyone who went through thick and thin together would always end up with happy endings.
"We're two very different people, so it's a given that there will be friction between us. I hope we can
communicate better next time, okay?"
"Okay," he nodded.
Grace raised her head and met his eyes. Now that he'd calmed down, his face looked much softer.
She nodded and said, "Well, I've come to see you. Can I go home now?"
"I've been looking at your lab report every day, don't put your guard down," he said. "Why don't you
come to my place with me, you'll be well taken care of." "No," Grace shook her head.
"Why?" Heinz asked.
"I can't leave my sister at home," she said.
"Then bring her with you." Heinz continued, "There are many guest rooms in the villa. Don't you worry."
Grace shook her again. "She will definitely refuse to go."
"You haven't fully recovered." Heinz analyzed, "I think that she will be willing to go so that she could
take care of you."
"I don't think so. She is not the easiest person to deal with, and she can't seem to accept you yet."
"Why?" he asked, "Why can't your sister accept me?"
Grace sighed, "Because you're rich."
"..." he was speechless.
What kind of reason was that?
"To her, rich people are frivolous." Grace said, "And she doesn't believe in men."
"Fine, I'll go back with you then," Heinz suggested.
"You'd better not. She's still mad that you weren't there when she visited me yesterday. Not a wise
move to let her see you now."
Alice was not pleased, to say the least, to see that Heinz was not by Grace's side when she'd visited
her in the hospital. This would not turn out good.
"I'll send you back," he said.
"Okay," Grace replied.
Off they went to Emerald Apartments.
When they reached the entrance, Grace said, "You can stop here. I'll go up on my own." "Can't I go up
with you?" Heinz looked at her.
Grace thought for a moment and said, "Of course you can, but it's not the right time now."
"When is the right time?" Heinz asked.
"Soon," Grace replied with a smile.
When she was about to get off the car, suddenly Heinz pulled her into his arms.
Lester, who was ahead of them, turned on the lifting board, conveniently covering up the scene behind
him.
Leaning on him, Grace saw the deepness in his eyes and it made her nervous.
"What are you doing?"
He stared at her red lips with his deep eyes and said, "Haven't you forgotten something?"
