Heinz hugged her tightly, but her body remained stiff.
Grace had already pulled herself out of his arms. She then looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
Heinz looked back at her with guilt in his eyes. His black eyes were full of apologies. He looked straight at her, struggling a little on the inside.
"Grace." Heinz continued, "Your mother left me a suicide letter. I want to show it to you."
As he spoke, he took out the letter and handed it to Grace.
Grace was stunned. Her face was a little pale, and her hands were trembling. She accepted the thick stack of papers from Heinz.
"I suggest that you head back to the room and take a look. I'm going to take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes," he said gently though there was a hint of restraint in his voice.
Grace nodded.
Heinz patted her on the shoulder, then made his way to the bedroom.
Grace held the letter in her hands as she watched
Heinz's tall figure disappear into the room.
Her face became even paler.
Heinz seemed to still be in a bad mood as he left without saying anything else.
Grace held the letter and followed him into the room.
As soon as she entered the room, she realized that Heinz had already entered the bathroom. Soon, she could hear the sound of running water in the bathroom.
Grace sat on the bed and opened the letter. Then, she began to read its contents.
The more she read, the more shocked she was. She realized that her mother was very cunning. She actually made use of the people around her.
She made use of Lawrence, Timothy, and even Heinz. What was even more ironic was that although she said that she loved Lawrence, this letter was actually written for Lawrence. She had planned everything for Lawrence.
Although she also asked Heinz to take care of Lawrence, Grace still doubted her words. Actually, the only reason she wanted him to take care of Lawrence was because she wanted him to pay off Lawrence's debt.
As for Grace herself, even after her mother died, Grace was still being used as a pawn.
She felt very sad.
Grace sat on the bed and hugged her knees. Her eyes were empty.
The reason Heinz was so depressed was probably because he had read the letter. In addition to that, he also saw the way his father reacted when he read his part of the letter. Heinz must have felt that it was unfair to his mother, and that was why he decided to visit her grave.
Grace felt extremely upset at the thought of this. How could it be like this?
She took a deep breath, but she did not have any strength at all.
At that time, the bathroom door opened.
Heinz emerged from the bathroom and was clad in a bathrobe.
As soon as he looked up, he was met with Grace sitting on the bed as she hugged her knees. She did not even look up to meet his eyes. She just sat on the bed. She looked very pitiful.
For a few seconds, Heinz's eyebrows twitched. He looked at Grace again and narrowed his eyes.
"Grace?"
He said.
Grace neither moved nor did she make any sound.
She looked at the wall without looking at Heinz.
