Chief Stone was very happy. Since Jodie had returned, Jodie's parents would rest assured in the future.

"That's great."

"Queenie." Jodie also had tears in her eyes when she saw Chief Stone. Jodie held her hand tightly and begged, "Help me hold on to Heinz. Please don't let him leave."

Queenie was stunned and nodded. "Okay, I understand. You go back first. I'll tell Heinz that I detained you."

"Okay." Jodie cried tearfully. She was reluctant to part with Queenie, but she still nodded and went back obediently.

As she walked and looked back, Jodie had been looking at Heinz the whole time. She looked at his eyes with reluctance.

Heinz didn't look at Jodie. He turned his face away and his whole body was extremely tense.

Chief Stone looked at Heinz and said to him, "Heinz, you came and met her. This situation is beyond our expectations."

Heinz was speechless. He could only listen to what Chief Stone said. A hint of desolation flashed across his eyes. "Yes, this is really beyond my expectations. We all thought that Jodie was dead, but she came back after six years."

"Heinz, this is a good thing." Queenie said, "Don't you want Jodie to be alive?"

"Of course I want her to be alive." Heinz said in a low voice, "I don't just want her to be alive, but I also want her to live well. Only when she is alive can I really be free."

At that time, they quarrelled. After the quarrel, Jodie went to Alsburg. The news soon broke that she was dead. Since then, he had been very sad and there was guilt in his heart. He always thought that he caused their family to be like this.

However, now, Jodie was back, and he was very happy.

Because he was finally free.

But what would Grace think?

That girl was bound to overthink. His heart was in turmoil and he was feeling very uncertain.

Chief Stone nodded and said, "I knew you're a righteous child."

Heinz laughed at himself and said, "I went to collect the marriage certificate with Grace, but I was told that I was still married, so I came here to ask them to cancel her account. I didn't expect this dramatic scene to happen, that Jodie actually came back."

"You went to get the certificate?" Queenie said in surprise, "So soon?"

"It's really cheesy." Heinz laughed at himself. "We got the marriage certificate because our relationship has reached a certain level. We should get married."

Queenie was still stunned for a while and said, "Although we have expected this, I still feel that it is too fast. Heinz, don't feel upset. Everyone's standpoint is different."

"That's right. Of course, you're on the Lawson family's side," Heinz said solemnly. "I can understand that as well."

After all, Queenie was Jodie's aunt, not Grace's aunt.

Heinz couldn't blame fate for this. He just felt that he and Grace had been through a lot.

It was getting a little depressing.

"I want to get the marriage certificate, but I can't. Now, it's becoming a divorce." Heinz continued to laugh at himself and felt very sad. He said, "Grace is surprised and angry that I lied to her. Now, Jodie isn't dead, so what's not to happen in this world?"

"This isn't Jodie's fault." Chief Stone immediately said on behalf of Jodie, "You can't put the blame on Jodie."

"So this is my fault?" Heinz retorted coldly and with strong emotion. "Is it because of me? I broke up with her a long time ago. It was she who refused to sign the divorce agreement, which led to me finding out that we are still married."

"It's not her fault, of course, and it's not your fault either." Chief Stone sighed. "Let's go to the car. We'll talk more about it."

"Talk about what?" Heinz obviously did not want to talk about this matter.

"About Jodie," Queenie said. "I just heard about her when I was in the hospital, so I came here in a hurry. Only then did I know that she really came back."

"I don't think I have anything to talk about." Heinz said, "It's very good that she's back. I'm happy from the very bottom of my heart. It's good for everyone too, but it doesn't mean that we have something to talk about."

"Heinz, you yourself said that she is still your wife now." Queenie said, "I think, even if there is no relationship, out of morality, shouldn't we talk about this?"

Heinz narrowed his eyes and a heavy light flashed across his pupils.

He looked at Queenie with a deep gaze. After a long while, he said, "Fine."

After opening the door, Heinz got into the car.

Chief Stone also got into the car and glanced at Heinz.

Heinz's expression was cold and solemn. He didn't say a word and his brows showed a deep sorrow.

This sort of situation was something that no one could have predicted.

"Aunt Stone, what do you want to persuade me about?" Heinz actually understood why Chief Stone was on Jodie's side. After all, Jodie was her niece. "Tell me."

"Heinz, I've met her and I know she's a good girl," said Chief Stone. "But now, Jodie's back."

There was something wrong.

Heinz immediately sensed it.

He looked sharply at Queenie with deep pain in his eyes. "So?"

Queenie could hear the negativity in Heinz's tone.

Queenie was slightly stunned and she sighed. "Heinz, I heard that Jodie lived a terrible life in Alsburg all these years. She was a slave for many years and was abducted and raised in a primitive tribe. She ever lost her memory."

Heinz was stunned and shock flashed across his eyes.

"Over the years, she suffered inhumane torture and treatment. I just heard from my colleague who came back from Alsburg that in the hospital where she was, she got beaten every day and lived a life worse than death. Finally, when she returned to the medical team, she was also obsequious, as if her soul had been scared off."

Heinz narrowed his eyes and felt a little annoyed. He said impatiently, "Aunt Stone, what are you trying to say? Just spit it out."

"I want to tell you that she is not as strong as before." Chief Stone said, "She needs your help to regain her confidence."

"What about Grace?" Heinz asked, "My woman, my children's mother; what about Grace?"

"Grace is strong." She said affectionately, "She's a good woman who's strong-willed and rational."

"Get out of the car," Heinz scolded.

Queenie frowned and explained hurriedly, "Heinz, we don't want you to break up with Grace. We just want you to put her aside for the time being!" "I can't!" Heinz shook his head. "Grace and I are going to get the marriage certificate today. Now that she's back, if I was to stop everything, what would Grace think?"

"Heinz, there is one more thing." Queenie said, "Jodie was pregnant when she was in Alsburg. When the medical team found her, she had a miscarriage because of the terrible environment there." Heinz's eyebrows were stern. "Aunt Stone, are you saying that Jodie's child was mine?"
