Meanwhile, in the afternoon.
They were in the secret base.
Heinz personally took Lawrence to see Candace. Naturally, he did not forget to be on guard along the way. He successfully captured two people who were tracking them.
Those two people had been hired by Lawrence.
Heinz felt incredibly helpless and angry over his father's vicious plans.
Timothy comforted him, saying, "Don't get mad. He probably just really wants to see Candace. Maybe he's too angry and wants to ask about Candace's feelings, yet we've been preventing him from finding her, so he's following you anxiously."
"This isn't the first time he's followed me. Even before Candace was locked up, he'd been following me." Heinz's anger hit the breaking point as bethought about it.
"Maybe he really plans to ask for your financial support, but he doesn't know how to ask."
Heinz shook his head. "Is there anything that someone like him can't say? I don't really believe that he's too embarrassed to ask me for money."
Heinz thought about it and still felt that it was impossible.
Timothy didn't say anything.
However, when he arrived at the villa in the mountain, which looked like a castle, he asked in surprise, "Why did you think of sending her here?" "This place is only five hundred meters away from the mountain villa where I used to live, and it's heavily guarded. My grandfather designed it," Heinz said proudly. "He knows more about security, so this place is easy to defend, but difficult to attack. It's hard for people to enter."
Timothy nodded and looked around the place. It was surrounded by water on three sides and was connected to the road on one. The three sides facing the water had electric fences constructed. The moment someone approached, they would be immediately electrocuted.
As he had a look at the surrounding environment, he understood Heinz's intentions.
It seemed that he did not intend to let anyone see Candace.
"Come on, go in and see her. I've assigned a professional doctor to her, and she will be treated well," Heinz said. "You can see her and question her, but I don't think it's likely that she will tell the truth."
"Okay, I know what to do." Timothy said before entering the door.
Soon, he entered the place and saw Candace lying on the bed. Compared to the previous night, she looked older and more ashamed.
Her face was swollen, waxy, and yellow. The wrinkles on her face also made her look very old. Her hands were even worse, with age spots on them.
These were all signs of old age, especially her hair, which was already white. It had become much whiter overnight.
He stood at the door and looked at Candace who was inside, in a trance. No matter how hard he tried, he could not associate this old woman with the woman he once dreamed of.
They didn't look alike at all. She looked old enough to be his parent.
