Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 184 The Entire Family Goes Abroad

Yvonne retreated subconsciously. "You're awake."

Henry turned around slowly and looked at her. His voice was harsh and unpleasant. "It's you."

"Are you quite disappointed because it's me?" Yvonne lowered her eyes and sneered softly.

Henry frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. Are you thirsty?" Yvonne asked.

Henry moved slightly. Consequently, his facial expression changed drastically. His pale face became much paler now, and his forehead was oozing with sweat, i

Seeing that, Yvonne became nervous too. She quickly pressed his shoulders. "Don't move! Your back is injured!"

Henry did not expect to see her caring for him all of a sudden. He was stunned. He then stared at her until she became quite uneasy.

"What are you looking at?" Yvonne frowned and asked.

Henry's eyes fluttered and averted his gaze. "Nothing. Can you please let go of your hands now?"

Yvonne realized now that she was still pressing his shoulders using her hands. She blushed and removed her hands. Then she turned away from him and said

gingerly, "You better not move around much.

Otherwise, you have to tend to your own wounds if your wounds are lacerated. Grandpa said that he won’t let you go to the hospital. I’ll see how you will deal with it then. Don't expect me to help you."

Hearing that, Henry did not know why, but he felt that it was quite amusing, especially when he saw how awkward she seemed. He could even imagine what kind of facial expression she had now.

Inevitably, Henry felt that his mood had become better. "Are you worried about me?"

Yvonne became anxious. Luckily, she was facing away from him, so she did not have to worry that he would see her facial expression.

"No,” she replied stubbornly.

Henry smiled faintly. "Fine, since you said so yourself.”

Yvonne pursed her lips and said nothing else.

Henry put away his smile and asked, "How long have I been home?"

"Around an hour," Yvonne replied calmly.

Henry responded and asked again, "Why did you go to the family residence all of a sudden?"

Yvonne's eyes fluttered. "Nothing much. I went and said something to Grandpa.”

"Did you tell him what happened recently?" "No, I didn't tell him any of that. Grandpa investigated i

t himself."

Henry became slightly suspicious after he heard that." Then what did you say to Grandpa?"

"It's none of your business. Rest well first. I'll go downstairs now. Later, I’ll bring some food for you." After she said that, she picked up his dirty clothes and went downstairs.

Henry looked at her as she disappeared from his sight. He then pursed his thin lips and fell into thought.

Certainly, she had hidden something from him.

Although he did not understand her well, he still knew much about her. She never took the initiative to go to the family residence before. Even if she wanted to tell the master about something, she would always choose to give him a call.

But she went to meet the master to discuss some affairs all of a sudden. It must be some kind of secret which he was unaware of.

When he thought about that, he endured the pain and got up. He then fished for the phone beside the bed and gave the master a call.

Nobody answered the phone. He did not intend to give it up, so he called the master again. But the master switched off the phone.

In that instant, Henry knew inwardly that the master purposely refused to answer his call.

At the same time, he knew that Grandpa was slightly disappointed in him. 1

Henry pinched the place between his eyebrows in exhaustion. He gave up the idea of trying to contact the master. He then gave Dominic a call instead.

Dominic answered his call soon. "Henry, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Conrad, how is Jackie now?" Henry asked coldly.

When Dominic heard Henry talking about his daughter, his eyes brightened. He replied enthusiastically, "Jackie is feeling better now. She's recovering fast, and there are no signs of

rejection in her body. I'm sure that she'll be able to get out of bed and walk around soon. Then, I'll ask her to go and express her gratitude toward Miss Frey."

"There’s no need for that. You know perfectly well how you obtained that bone marrow in the first place. Do you think she will welcome you when you appear in front of her?" Henry sneered coldly.

Dominic was stunned. He smiled awkwardly. "Henry, what you said is reasonable too.”

Henry sneered. "Since she's feeling better, quickly make the preparation for her to go abroad."

"Go abroad?” Dominic was stunned. "Why do you want Jackie to go abroad? She's not fully recovered yet."

"The master knows what you did. Do you think that the master will forgive Jackie if you don't let her go

abroad?" Henry narrowed his eyes. 3

Dominic was stunned. He was soon filled with deep fright. "Does Master Lancaster know about this?"

"He'll learn about it sooner or later. When you carried out such a scheme, you should have foreseen that."

Dominic swallowed slightly. "Yes, I foresaw that. But I didn’t expect Master Lancaster to know about it so soon. Henry, who told the master about it? Is it Miss Frey?"

"No, the master learned about it himself. However, so what if Yvonne told Grandpa about it? You could trick her like that, but you don’t want her to complain about your vicious deeds."

Henry appeared annoyed.

Dominic shook his head immediately. "No, that’s not what I meant. I’m just... I don’t know what else to say. Henry, tell me. What does the master plan to do?"

"Grandpa wants to ruin the Conrads!" Henry did not intend to keep it a secret before him. He directly told Dominic what the master said at that time.

Dominic was scared out of his wits. He became quite pale. Even his hand was trembling as he held the phone in his hand. "What? The master... He..."

"Now you’re afraid.” Henry was filled with disdain.

If he became afraid, why did he not foresee such a consequence when he carried out such a plot at that time?

"Henry. Henry," Dominic called after Henry nervously. "Henry, you must save me. I did this because I wanted t o save Jackie’s life."

Henry gave no response.

His silence made Dominic anxious. "Henry? Did you hear me?"

"Yes, I did," Henry said without any facial expression.

Dominic became slightly angry inwardly. But he still pretended to be begging him. "Henry, if you heard me, please do help me. Don’t let the master stand against the Conrads. You're aware that I'm the one who founded the Conrad Group. I cannot let the group be ruined under my care. So, Henry, you must save me and Jackie!" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"I cannot help you. This is Grandpa’s order. If you go abroad with your entire family and swear never to come back here, I’m sure that Grandpa will be able to let you go," Henry said, and his eyes became deep and dark.

The master did intend to ruin the Conrads, and Henry disliked Dominic too.

But he knew that if the Conrads were ruined, Jackie would be unable to live through that.

So the only thing he could do was make the Conrads leave and go abroad. He then would be able to give a proper explanation to the master.

"Do you want us to go abroad and never come back here?" Dominic was stunned. After a long while, he recovered himself. “Henry, how is it possible? Our business is based here."

"If you want to stay here, just wait until the day when the Conrad Group becomes nothing but history,” Henry snorted, and he was about to hang up the phone directly.

Dominic seemed to know what Henry was about to do next. He shouted immediately, "Wait a minute, Henry. Don’t hang up first."

"Have you thought it through?" Henry asked him.
