Chapter 861
"Hello, Mr. Yarbrough."
Grace greeted politely with a slight nod.
Timothy stood where he was with a confused gaze, but he soon came to his senses and nodded. "Hello, Mrs. Jones, pleasure to
make your acquaintance.”
Grace could see that Timothy''s expression carried some wariness, but he briskly pushed it away. Grace felt strange as well,
because Timothy felt familiar, though she couldn''t put it into words.
"Likewise, Mr. Yarbrough. It''s a delight meeting you," she replied politely.
With a mild smile, Timothy replied, "Well, | will go upstairs to meet my friend. If you''ll excuse me."
"Take care, Mr. Yarbrough." Heinz and Grace looked on as Timothy headed off to the hospital building.
The two of them didn''t rush to leave first.
Grace was looking at Timothy''s back as he left. Unmoved, she stared at it for a long while, until his tall and handsome silhouette
faded from her sight.
She turned her head and looked up at Heinz who was standing beside her.
Heinz was staring at Timothy, a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Grace understood in her heart that Heinz had probably figured something out.
He smiled gently and said, "Grace, have you noticed that Mr. Yarbrough was slightly startled when he saw you?"
"| have." Grace nodded and said, "He looked troubled somehow, as if he saw another person through me. Perhaps | bear some
resemnce to my mother."
Grace and Heinz connected their gaze. From the serious look in each other''s eyes, Grace could surmise what Heinz was going
to say.
Looking at her, Heinz said, "By any chance, could he be your biological father?"
Grace didn''t say anything, but there was an obvious shift in her gaze. She was equally skeptical, but then what was the use of
doubting.
"| don''t know. | don''t have any clues, even till now. | just feel unusually close to Mr. Yarbrough when | see him. As for whether he
is my father or not, | don''t know at all, but | do think it is possible. Otherwise, my mother wouldn''t ask to see Timothy. There must
be some sort of rtionship between them. If not, he wouldn''t waste his time."
Heinz nodded and said, "Come on, let''s go upstairs and have a look. Maybe we will find out some secrets."
"Why not?"
The two of them went upstairs quickly. When they reached the door, they didn''t see Timothy. It seemed that he had entered the
ward.
Heinz walked over quickly and whispered to them, "Mr. Yarbrough has just gone in, but nothing can be heard yet."
Alex gave the listening device to Heinz.
Not taking it, Heinz instead gave it to Grace.
She didn''t refuse it. She reached out to take it and stuffed it in her ear.
At this moment, Candace was lying on the bed in the ward. Her eyes tightly shut, she did not realize that someone had entered
the ward.
When Timothy came in, he frowned slightly. The moment he saw a frail and old person lying on the hospital bed, he knitted his
brows even tightly.
His frown intact, he gazed at the person who was lying on the bed. It was a long time before he realized that woman was
Candace herself. Then he was stunned and couldn''t believe that Candace had grown so crumpled and old.
This was so different from the impression he retained of Candace.
In his memory, Candace was beautiful, but the woman in front of him was now looking old, beyond recognition.
Timothy could not believe that a person could deteriorate to this rather decrepit state in such a short time of 20 years. From his
recollection, Candace was younger than himself.
But now, those who didn''t know better would think that she was much older than him.
Timothy looked at Candace in a daze, confusion in his eyes. After a long while, he sighed, and his gaze and his voice were also
very cold. "Candace, I''m here."
The woman on the bed didn''t move. She looked as if she was asleep.
Timothy did not utter a single word. He merely stood at the end of the bed and stared at the pale woman on the bed.
He waited for a long time, but the woman did not wake up. Timothy opened his mouth again, "Candace, I''m here."
He raised his voice slightly this time.
The woman on the bed flinched as if she had been startled. Then, she opened her eyes.
Candace looked up and was met with Timothy''s gaze. She could make out the distant expression on his face.
Candace didn''t say anything and just looked at him.
That said, Timothy was also in no hurry to speak.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Timothy finally broke the silence. "Out with it, why did you call me here?"
Candaceughed sarcastically and said, "Timothy, you''re still so old-fashioned. After so many years, you still don''t dress well for
a sessful person."
Timothy frowned and looked blood-curdling cold. He couldn''t be bothered by Candace''s snark remark.

Condescendingly, he looked down at
the woman in front of him. "Right, |
don''t know how to dress. I''ve always
been like this all this while. Its thet)
sygth ery BULLS, or theck
thereof. I''ve always relied on my
ability to make a living. Unlike some
people who despise the poor and
marry the rich, eventually tormenting
themselves to the point of looking
like a seventy- year- old woman when
they haven''t even reached the age of
fifty." Please read the original content

Candace burst intoughter. "Oh, are you mocking me?"
"Just say it. What secret do you want to let me in on? Dawdle any further and I''ll leave." Timothy was not too calm when he saw
Candace this time.
He thought that Candace was so imperious that she would never end up like this, but now it seemed that she had not been living
well all these years.
How could she still be so arrogant when she has sumbed to old age over the years? Maybe Candace was the only woman of
her kind in this world.
“What''s the hurry?" Candace smiled faintly and said, "We haven''t seen each other for eight years, yes?"
“I''m not here to catch up with you. Besides, our rtionship has been severed since long ago. There shouldn''t be such a
meeting again.”
"It''s true that the rtionship
between us has ended a long ti
ago. We shouldnt peel again, but
there 8 d6hnection between us that
can never be erased. What say you,
can''t | look for you anymore?" Please

Upon hearing what Candace had just said, Timothy''s pupils contracted, his heart beating fast. He looked at Candace with
indifference and said, "What did you say?"
"As | was telling you, there is a connection between us that can never be erased." Candace said in a low voice, "It is also a
burden that you left me with back then."
These words made Timothy''s face
sink. His gaze was filled with ayanl
anger. Sposa up to
Gahldat , looked at her coldly, and
said word by word, "That child wasn''t
aborted, right?" Please read the

Candace didn''t answer. She looked at him and said, "Don''t be in such a hurry. I''ll tell you what | should tell you."
mn it, what tricks are you ying?” Timothy had lost his earlierposure.
