Chapter 21 Bone Marrow?


    Henry dropped his briefcase and went into the kitchen. When he reached the kitchen door, he


    stopped and stared at the person inside with surprise.


    It turned out that it was Yvonne cooking in there!


    Yvonne was wearing an apron and was busy preparing the ingredients next to the stove. The


    kitchen knife in her hand was making some chopping noises.


    Her head was slightly lowered, exposing her slender neck. Her pale skin glowed with the light.


    Henry stared at her for a while and his Adam''s apple bobbed in his throat.


    This was actually the third time he had a reaction to this woman!


    Unable to figure out the reason, he irritably loosened the necktie around his neck and called out to


    the woman in his deep voice. "Yvonne Frey.”


    Yvonne was shocked by suddenly getting called out of the blue and nearly cut her finger.


    However, she couldn''t be bothered about it and turned her head in surprise. "You''re back!"


    She thought Henry wouldn''t being back! i


    Henry hummed coldly in response as his gaze fell on


    the pot behind her. "What are you cooking?"


    "Some noodles. I haven’t had dinner yet." Yvonne wiped her hands on her apron.


    Henry frowned at her. "Why are you cooking? Where is Sue?"


    "Sue applied for a leave and went home. She goes back to see her granddaughter every week on


    the same day." Yvonne exined as she picked up a fork and stirred in the pot.


    Henry leaned against the door frame. "Just noodles and nothing else?”


    Since she could make only noodles that smelled this great, she probably had pretty good cooking


    skills.


    "There aren''t many ingredients left at home." Yvonne smiled embarrassedly.


    She only realized that when she checked the refrigerator before cooking.


    "No ingredients? Sue didn''t prepare anything before she left?”


    Yvonne wagged her finger. "It''s not Sue’s fault. I was too busy for the past two days and I forgot to


    give her money to do the groceries."


    "Since when did you have to give her money for groceries?" Henry narrowed his eyes as the


    expression on his face turned cold.


    Yvonne gave him a puzzled look, looking confused by his sudden anger. "Sue won’t have money to


    buy groceries if I don''t give her any money.”


    "Nonsense.” Henry pursed his thin lips. "Sue is the servant of the Lancaster family. Her sry and


    your living expenses are all directly charged to the ount. Why would she have no money?”


    Was this woman lying to him on purpose?


    "We really don’t have any money. You can ask Sue if you don’t believe me!" Yvonne looked at him


    seriously.


    Henry was stunned. It was only then that he suddenly recalled that he had never been here after


    they got married and had never shown his face at the finance department. Naturally, no one in the


    finance department would send money here.


    "You''ve been paying for yourself for the past three years?” Henry clenched his hands.


    "Pretty much. Except for Sue''s sry, I pay for the groceries and utilities." Yvonne shrugged,


    showing that she didn''t mind.


    When Henry saw her expression, he immediately felt secretly ashamed. "Why didn’t you tell me


    earlier?” 2


    Although he didn’t like this woman, he never intended to treat her harshly.


    Yvonne scratched her head. "I just don’t think it is necessary. Only Sue and I here anyway, so the


    expenses aren''t that high. By the way, have you eaten?”


    Henry massaged his throbbing temple and replied with a slightly fatigued voice. "Not yet."

    "I''ll make another bowl for you then." Yvonne stole a nce at him and suggested cautiously.


    Henry looked at her shiny eyes and didn''t reject the offer.


    Yvonne gave him a genuine smile.


    More than her offer, it was her pure smile that instantly turned the world into a brighter ce.


    Henry quietly finished the noodles, then went upstairs into the study. Not long after that, his


    assistant came over for a discussion.


    Seeing that the two had holed themselves up in the study for a long time, Yvonne thoughtfully went


    into the kitchen to prepare two cups of coffee and was about to send them into the study.


    "Mr. Lancaster, you''ve been spending so many days with Miss Frey. Haven''t you told her about it


    yet?"


    Yvonne stood in front of the study and was about to knock on the door when she heard Joe’s voice


    coming from inside. Not only that, but she also heard her name.


    Told her about what?


    Yvonne felt both curiosity and anxiety welling up in her heart.


    She lowered her hand and pressed her ear on the door so that she could hear better.


    "I still don''t know how to tell her." Henry massaged his temples with a rather irritated face.


    Joe sighed. "But Miss Jacqueline Conrad can''t wait that long. Doctor Summers has warned that


    these two months will be the best time frame for the surgery. If she misses that, the sess rate of


    the surgery will be very low."


    Henry squeezed his hands tightly as his face turned grim. "I won''t let the surgery fail!"


    "Then what are you still waiting for? The operating room has already been prepared and Miss


    Conrad’s body has already been conditioned for the surgery. All she''s waiting for is Miss Frey’s


    bone marrow." 5


    Bone marrow?


    Yvonne was frightened by the revtion as her body froze all over.


    So Henry had suddenly moved back just to get close to her so that he could get her bone marrow?

    Yvonne was on the brink of a breakdown. Her hands were trembling. She lost her grip on the tray


    and it crashed to the ground along with the two cups of coffee on it, shattering loudly.


    Henry''s countenance contorted slightly and he turned his gaze to the door. "Who’s outside!"
