True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1085 The Feeling of Carrying A Time Bomb

"It is indeed very cruel," the doctor nodded. "But in fact, it's true. This is the luckiest you can get."

Alice couldn't understand what kind of misfortune the doctor referred to.

He had probably guessed Alice's thoughts, thus he smiled and said, "You can go to the toxicology department to see how those people are suffering."

"Doctor, I'm just hoping that the babies are not affected at all. After all, she is having twins. If anything happens to them, it will be a lifetime of regret."

"I understand," The doctor said, "Thus, I hope that you can be optimistic too. Perhaps, it would be the unnecessary pressure instead of the toxins that would harm the babies. Do you understand what I mean?" "I do. It's just that, we are practically waiting on a timebomb. What can we do if something does happen?" This was what Alice was more worried about.

"Now, we can't guarantee that it's the effect of the poison or the pressure. So, put aside all your worries and just focus on resting. Don't jump to any conclusions just yet. Perhaps, everything will be fine and the fetuses are not harmed." The doctor said, "Please trust in my thirty years of experience in this field."

Alice merely looked at the doctor. Even though she vaguely understood what the doctor was trying to tell her, she was still worried.

The doctor patiently explained, "From my experience, the effect of optimism is far better than that of pessimistic people. When optimistic people fall sick, especially tumor patients, they can heal much faster. However, some patients may only live for a few days after they found out they had a tumor. Why? Because their mental endurance is too weak.

Sometimes, when some people found out they have a tumor in their body, they would start to act pessimistic and panic all day long. They would only live for a few days after the diagnosis. Why is that, you may ask. They died from giving themselves unnecessary fright.

Therefore, I hope that all of you can be more optimistic. This is beneficial to yourselves and the fetuses in your sister's belly."

Although she completely understood the doctor's advice, the more he told her, the more panicked

she became.

She truly could not sit aside and do nothing.

There were still a lot of questions she wanted to ask the doctor, however, she felt powerless at that moment. That was to say, no one knew what was going on with Grace's twins.

They had to leave it to luck and fate then. If they were lucky, everything would be fine. Otherwise, it would be their misfortune.

Alice felt aggrieved for Grace's infamy.

Why did Grace suffer so many misfortunes?

She turned her gaze to Jensen. He was also a little dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

He was worried about Alice as well as Grace's pregnancy.

He finally understood why Heinz was so angry this time. He even had a hint of anger while talking on the phone.

Jensen also felt that he was too kind to Quinn.

No one wanted to give birth to a disabled child, not to mention two.

"You two don't have to worry too much. Maybe we really are being overly worried now. Perhaps, nothing will happen to the twins. When I told Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones that the damage is next to none, I just don't want them to be under too much pressure. Besides, she will undergo her usual gynecological examinations for the rest of her pregnancy and we will gradually know if there will be any impact." "Does my brother-in-law know about what you said to me just now?"

"Mr. Jones may not be able to bear as much as Mrs. Jones does. Of course, I dare not tell him the worst possible outcome. I just hope that you two can do Mr. Jones's job in taking care of her," the doctor said. "I can't do that. I'm already going crazy. How can you act like this? If you told us the truth earlier, we would be able to file a proper lawsuit against the person who poisoned her." Alice exclaimed. "But how can we hold her accountable now that you've put it this way?"

"Miss Smith, we would need immediate proof to hold the offender accountable. Since this police officer is here, he should know that the damage done to your sister can't be accurately estimated. Hence, even i you want to file a lawsuit, it would be difficult to decide on the compensation. We can only wait," The doctor was still rather patient towards Alice. "Since we can only wait, why don't we do it optimistically? Perhaps, the situation would take a turn for the better."

"I can't just sit and wait," Alice stood up and looked down at the doctor. "Although I also agree that optimism can lead to a good outcome, this is not a trifling matter. I only know to solve the problem, and not wait for the problem to be solved by itself."

"What if the situation takes a turn for the worse? Would you want us to hold you accountable?"

Alice's words did not anger the doctor, instead, he looked at her and said patiently, "Previously, the doctor from the OB-GYN department recommended that she should abort the fetuses. Both Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones didn't want to do this, and I agreed to their decision. Let's just wait. I am willing to bear the consequences."

"What kind of consequences can you bear?"

"If there is really something wrong with the twins after birth, I would willingly step down from being a doctor," the doctor said as he looked at Alice.

Alice was slightly taken aback. Her lips curled into a bitter smile. "Doctor, you are putting in a huge bet. Why would you do that?"

"I just want to perceive the patient's condition in a good way, instead of thinking about the worst result and be influenced by Murphy's Law," the doctor said.

Alice stared at the doctor dazedly. This middleaged doctor looked like he was in his fifties, he was exactly around the age when he was most experienced.

Alice took a deep breath. "Doctor, although I don't want to admit that what you said is very reasonable, I also have to say that you are very capable at character-building. Now I can only pray that the heavens will take pity on Grace and that her twins will be safe."

"They definitely will." the doctor said.

Alice came out of the doctor's office, and Jensen followed behind.

Standing in the corridor, Alice did not move for a long time.

"Alice!" Jensen gave her a call.

"Shut up." With these words, Alice turned around and walked down the stairs.

She didn't dare to go into the ward because she was afraid she would cry out the moment she saw her sister.

Jensen followed closely behind.

Alice ran outside in one breath. She burst into tears as soon as she stood in the garden of the hospital.

Jensen managed to catch up with her but he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Only those who had experienced it personally could truly understand the severity of the matter.

"Alice?" Jensen noticed that she wasn't speaking, thus he reached out to hold her hand. Her burning hand made him freeze in place.

She was crying.

Jensen's heart suddenly ached.
