Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 185 Say Yes But Mean No

"I..." Dominic gritted his teeth. He said with much difficulty, "I've thought it through. We'll leave and go abroad."

Although leaving and going abroad was a difficult thing, he was aware that maybe they would have the chance to return there as long as the Conrad Group was still there.

Otherwise, both the Conrad group and the Conrads would be ruined.

He was certainly not a fool, and he knew how to make his choices.

After hearing his reply, Henry became satisfied. "Then be quick. I hope that I'll be able to hear the news that the Conrads have moved abroad in the next two days."

"Alright." Dominic smiled bitterly. "I'll be quick. But Henry, can you please come and pay Jackie a visit? She misses you so much, and she wants so badly to meet you these few days."

"No. I won’t meet her anymore. That’s it." Henry was straightforward, without leaving them any hope.

Dominic sighed. "Fine. I'll tell Jackie the truth."

"Okay." Henry nodded.

After he hung up the phone, he threw his phone aside. He then supported himself and lay on the bed again.

He knew that the master might not be satisfied with his decision, asking the Conrads to move abroad.

But that was his only choice. He could not bear to see Jackie and the Conrads be ruined.

So he was left with no choice. Besides, the Conrad Group was not a company that had a stable foundation. If the Conrads emigrated in a rush, their company might shrink to a smaller scale. They might even suffer a great loss. If they were not cautious, they might go into bankruptcy. Even if the master might be dissatisfied with that kind of outcome, he would let it go gradually.

As he was thinking about that, he heard a knock.

Yvonne opened the door with a tray in her hands." This is what Sue prepared for you as your lunch.”

She put the tray on the bedside cupboard.

Henry glanced at her before taking a look at the food o n the tray. He raised his eyebrows slightly. "I cannot eat like this."

"Then what do you want?” Yvonne looked at him.

Henry stretched his hand out at her. "Help me sit up."

"No." Yvonne did not comply with his wishes. "Your wounds have not fully recovered yet. You cannot move around freely."

"But I cannot eat my lunch if I don't sit up," Henry said again.

Yvonne hesitated for a short while. "You just lie down properly. Don't move. Let me feed you."

Henry widened his eyes slightly. He seemed to be surprised by what she said.

But he did not reject her, and he consented.

Yvonne held the bowl in her hand and took a spoon. Then, he started to feed Henry the porridge slowly.

Since he was lying on his stomach, it was not easy for him to eat his lunch. She found it difficult to feed him too. So they were extremely slow. Usually, he could finish a bowl of porridge in under ten minutes, but it lasted around half an hour to feed him. The food became cold too.

"Do you want more?" Yvonne put the bowl down and asked him.

The man shook his head. "No."

"Alright." Yvonne did not persuade him. She put the spoon down and took up a napkin on the tray. She helped to wipe his mouth gently.

After she was done, she held the tray and prepared to g o downstairs.

Suddenly, Henry said, "Thank you."

Yvonne stopped walking. "What for?"

"Thank you for taking care of me." Henry looked at her.

Yvonne lowered her head and hid the emotions in her eyes from him. She pretended to be cold and said, "I didn't take care of you. I just did it for the sake of doing it. If someone else were lying here today, I'd do the same too. So, you don't have to thank me."

Henry sneered softly. "Fine, you did it just for the sake of it. I have news for you."

"What kind of news?" Yvonne turned around and looked at him.

Henry said, "The Conrads will be moving abroad, and they won't return here anymore.”

"What?" Yvonne was slightly stunned. "Moving abroad?"

"Yes, I demanded that from them." Henry nodded.

Yvonne was slightly confused. "Why did you do that?"

"It's because of you!" Henry replied seriously.

Yvonne was stunned at first. Then, she smiled coldly." For me? Mr. Lancaster, are you trying to say that you did that just to take revenge for me? So you asked them to move abroad. Is that so?"

"Aren't you satisfied with this result?" Henry frowned.

From what he said, Yvonne knew that she was right all along. She was filled with deeper contempt. She deepened her cold smile. "Why should I be satisfied with it? Don't even mention what you did. You just demanded them to move abroad, thinking that you've taken revenge on them on my behalf. I'm dissatisfied. They took away my bone marrow and murdered my baby. How could you ask them just to move abroad? Don't they need to pay a huge price for it?"

Henry never expected her to react like that. He thought that she would be satisfied with that kind of result.

It turned out that he was wrong after all.

"They did pay for it. If they moved abroad in a rush, their company would suffer a great loss..."

"I don’t want to listen to that!" Yvonne covered her ears and interrupted Henry. "I don’t care what happens to their company. I just know that no company is as important as my baby. My baby is a life. I'll never be able to reconcile with the fact that my baby is gone, and my enemies who killed my baby just compensated for it by moving abroad. How ridiculous!"

"Then what do you want? Do you want a life for a life?" Henry's voice became deep all of a sudden.

Yvonne bit her lips. "I'm not as cruel as the Conrads. I just want them to pay the price they should be paying! That's going to jail!"

If she had evidence with her, she would have reported it to the police by now. She would never allow Dominic to enjoy his life up until now.

"Going to jail?" Henry frowned.

Yvonne took a breath. "Yes, going to jail. They disobeyed the law. Certainly, they should be locked up in jail. My request is not too much, is it?"

Henry became quiet.

Her request was indeed reasonable, but...

"Never mind." Yvonne interrupted his train of thought. She then looked up at the ceiling and forced back her tears. "Since you're unable to do so, let's not dwell on it anymore. It doesn’t help much, dwelling on it. Just let i t be. I'll take away the cutlery now. If you have anything else, just holler downstairs."

After that, she did not linger long in the room. She turned and left directly.

Downstairs, Sue saw her teary eyes as she came downstairs. Sue was shocked. "Madam, have you been crying?"

"I didn't. I just feel slightly upset." Yvonne handed the tray to Sue.

Sue took over the tray. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just heard some pretty sad and ridiculous things." Yvonne mocked herself and sneered.

Sue looked upstairs. "Did sir say some bad things again?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"That's fine, Sue. It’s over now. Come, I haven't had my meal yet." Yvonne changed the topic. Clearly, she did not want to talk about that anymore.

Sue knew her thoughts well. She sighed. "Who asked you to send food to him first instead of having the meal by yourself? I asked you to eat first, but you won’t listen to me for fear that sir would be hungry." "I wasn’t worried that he might be hungry. I’m just afraid that I’d be too lazy to move after I am full." After that, Yvonne went to the dining room quickly.

Sue looked at her as she appeared quite guilty. Sue could not help but shake her head and laugh. "You said yes but mean no. You were clearly afraid that sir would be hungry, but you found some kind of excuse for yourself deliberately. You do love sir still."

Although madam acted quite cold toward sir, and she seemed reluctant to bother about him. But whenever something happened to him, she would become quite nervous. She cared for him immensely. Certainly, she was so much better than the woman from the Conrads.

Sue did not know what kind of taste sir had. What was there so good about that selfish woman from the Conrads? Sir could harm his good wife cruelly just for that woman. It was indeed a sin!

The time passed quickly. Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yvonne sat at the bedside, applying the medicine for Henry. She seemed to not be normal, keeping some unknown thoughts to herself. For a few times, she accidentally scattered the medicine powder somewhere else. When she was bandaging his wounds, the bandage was done in a messy way. It was an unendurable sight.

At last, Henry could not hold himself back anymore. " Yvonne, what are you thinking about? Why do you seem to be absent minded?"
