Chapter 380
"I don''t want to be this emotional either," Pearlyn Drake said, feeling slightly embarrassed. "But my
body just responds like this. It''s worse when I see them. Heinz is the one who has arranged all these
for us. If it weren''t for him, Nathan and I would have been helpless since long ago."
"Mom!" Heinz Jones said, "Don''t mention it. This is my duty."
"I just can''t ept it," Pearlyn sighed again.
Jensen Charm nced at Heinz. He could understand why Heinz had addressed her in that way, but
he was also worried about it. As Heinz''s woman, would Grace be able to ept his way of addressing
Pearlyn?
In fact, any normal person would mind such a situation.
Humans were usually narrow- minded, especially when it involved the rtionship between a man and
a woman. It would be difficult to be tolerant of this kind of matter.
If Grace were to hear Heinz addressing another woman''s mother as his own, she would probably feel
very ufortable.
Jensen could only conceal his worries. At that moment, he couldn''t say anything.
After all, Heinz was Mr. and Mrs. Lawson''s only pir of support at the moment.
"Mom, I''m going to visit Dad now. I''lle to see youter," Heinz said when he saw the caregiver
getting Pearlyn some soup. He was also concerned about Mr. Lawson.
"Go ahead," Chief Stone said, "You will feel more relieved after checking on him. I''ll keep Pearlyn
"Okay."
Heinz and Jensen then left together.
The moment they left the ward and entered the elevator, Jensen couldn''t resist asking, "Are you not
nning to change the way you address her?"
Heinz nodded and said, "Yes, I don''t n to change it."
"What do you think will happen if Grace finds out about it then?"
"She knows about it. I didn''t hide it from her. However, she thought that Jodie was a man, so she
doesn''t mind me addressing Jodie''s parents as my own," Heinz said. His gaze was deep and slightly
mncholic.
"But, once she knows that Jodie is a woman and that she was your—"
"That''s why I feel conflicted," Heinz replied, seemingly to be at his wits'' end, "Previously, she had
insisted on breaking up with me over a small issue. If I tell her the truth now, she might be even
angrier."
"Then, what are you going to do?"
"I''m going to have another baby with her," Heinz replied, with his eyes closed, "But, her health is not
good at the moment. She shouldn''t get pregnant for the next year. Even after a year, nothing is certain."
"Heinz," Jensen was shocked, "Isn''t your method too risky? If Grace knows that you are nning to
bind her up again with a child, I''m afraid that she might leave you."
"Tell me what I should do then!" Heinz shouted in annoyance, "Right now, I''m afraid to tell her the truth.
Even when I keep it a secret from her, I''m still worried."
Jensen''s mouth twitched as he shouted back, "Why are you shouting at me?"
After all, Jensen was not the cause of his suffering.
Heinz let out a long restless sigh.
Jensen could understand Heinz''s dilemmapletely. He too was afraid that Alice would realize that
he was the one who had hurt her back then. Therefore, he didn''t dare to tell her the truth.
Therefore, Jensen felt that Heinz and himself were in the same boat.
Heinz fell silent once again.
His handsome face was extremely gloomy.
Jensen sighed again. When he saw how helpless his good friend was, he couldn''t help but sympathize
with him.
Some words would cause trouble no matter if it was left unspoken or if it was out in the open. At that

moment, it was as if they were walking through andmine. They could only take a step at a time.
"Look at us. We once lived so freely. Yet we have to be so careful now," Jensen said and sighed.
Heinz, who had been holding back his anger, looked at Jensen and said in a deep voice, "Because
you''re a b*stard."
"Scr*w you," Jensen retorted angrily, "You''re the b*stard, alright?"
The two men stared at each other for some time, but none of them let their anger rip. They only looked
at each other helplessly and remained silent.
Soon, they arrived at the intensive care unit. Lester was still there.
Heinz saw him sitting on a chair outside the ICU, apanied by a bodyguard. The subordinate was
keeping watch while Lester slept.
Heinz and Jensen looked at each other.
Jensen lowered his voice and said, "Ah, Lester is indeed reliable at such critical moments."
Heinz replied in a low voice, "Lester has a good sense of responsibility. He knows that a case involving
human life is to be treated with the utmost care."
"Indeed."
Both of them then walked over.
As soon as the bodyguard saw Heinz, he quickly stood up and greeted, "President! Officer Charm!"
"Is the President here?" Lester asked, as he roused himself and quickly stood up. When he saw Heinz
and Jensen, he immediately yawned and said, "President, Mr. Lawson is stable now but he hasn''t
woken up yet. The medical staff said that everything would be fine if the situation didn''t make a turn for
the worse. He might wake up after a while."
"Have you stayed here all this while?" Heinz asked.
Lester nodded and answered, "Yes, I was concerned that they might not be able to handle it well if I
were to leave."
Heinz nodded and said, "Leave one person to report on the situation at any given time. You could
arrange for four shifts in a day. There should be someone working for six hours on each shift. Everyone
must keep watch at this spot well."
"Yes!" However, Lester was still a little concerned so he said, "I was hoping that you would worry less if
I was here." "Go home and take a rest," Heinz ordered in a deep voice. "The hospital only allows one
person to stay here at a time. Too many people will disrupt the movements here and the air will be
affected as well."
"But..."
"No buts," Jensen said. "Lester, arrange fourpetent men to keep watch. Apart from that, you are
free to handle this matter as you see fit."
Looking at Heinz, Lester nodded.
"Understood," he replied. Lester quickly took out his phone and arranged for someone toe over.
Heinz then went to find the surgeon-in-charge. As soon as the surgeon saw Heinz, he immediately
said, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Lawson''s condition is not looking too good. He didn''t respond well after the
surgery. Among all the operations that I had performed, he is the first patient who didn''t wake up after
the operation."
"I know," Heinz said. "And I believe that you fully understand why."
The surgeon- in- charge was shocked to hear his words butthen he remembered the reason Mr.
Lawson was like that. He sighed, "Yes, it''s indeed not easy for Mr. Lawson."
Not many parents were able to ept the fact that their child had died before them.
"Mr. Jones, why don''t we do this?" The surgeon said, "Find out the source of his strength, then talk to
him about it. Perhaps, that will help to wake him up."
"His source of strength?" Heinz asked, a little shocked.
Jensen said, "Heinz, why don''t you talk to him about your past with Jodie. Maybe some of these
memories could wake Uncle Lawson up."
Heinz immediately cast a look at Jensen.
His gaze were extremely sharp.
Jensen felt guilty instantly and he knew that his suggestion was not very good.
He spread out his hands and continued solemnly, "Well, is there anything else you could do now? Only
two people have shared memories with him. The other person is Aunt Drake but with her condition right
now, if she goes to him, she might not be able to take it. She may copse at any time."
"Therefore, only you could help him now."
Heinz stared at him and said in a deep voice, "No one can know about the situation. Didn''t we make
that clear?"
"But it''s true that you did have something with Jodie in the past. You were supposed to be Uncle
Lawson''s son-inw, and now you''re his only hope."
