Chapter 82 Return to Homnd
Joe could clearly feel Henry''s cold stare. He coughed once awkwardly and retracted his hand.
"Madam, please stay calm..."
"How can I stay calm? This is gambling!" Yvonne stamped her feet. "Tell me immediately that it''s not
true!"
She did not believe that Jason would do such a thing.
Joe touched his nose. "Fine, madam. But I need to tell you that this is indeed true, and even your
parents know about it."
"Henry..." Yvonne still could not bring herself to reconcile with that fact. She looked toward Henry,
asking for his help. She intended to hear a different kind of answer from him.
Henry saw through her. He pursed his thin lips. "What Joe said is nothing but the truth!"
Yvonne waspletely stunned. She seemed to feel a n extreme coldness as if she were in an ice
cer. She only recovered after a long while. She murmured in a daze, "Why is this happening..."
She could not deceive herself anymore.
Joe was Henry''s assistant, and he would not lie about i t. Besides, Henry would never lie to her
about things like this, just because it did not benefit him even if he did so.
So they were indeed telling the truth. Jason was indeed addicted to gambling, and he lost every
penny he had just because of it.
Yvonne covered her face and cried miserably.
Joe looked at her before turning to look at Henry who appeared calm. He knew that he could do
nothing there, so he left directly.
"There, there. Stop crying." Henry pulled the nket away and got down from the hospital bed.
Yvonne heard the noise and she put down her hands." Why did you get down from the bed?"
"I''m annoyed by your crying, so I want to get a ss of water for myself." Henry sounded rather cold
and calm.
Yvonne sniffed her nose. "Let me. You still haven’t recovered from your back injuries yet. You better
don’t move your body."
She raised her hand up casually and rubbed her eyes with her sleeves. She then went to the table
beside them to pour a ss of water for him.
Henry looked at her. "What do you n to do now?"
Yvonne remained quiet. She only handed him the ss of water.
Henry took a sip, but he persisted in hearing an answer from her. "Answer me!"
"I don’t know..." Yvonne shook her head.
"You don''t know?" Henry sneered. "Yvonne, gambling i s no small matter. Do you really know not
what to do about it?"
Yvonne bit her lips. "I indeed have no idea. I never expected to see Jason like this. Let me... ask
him!"
She took out her phone and called Jason.
Unfortunately, he had switched off his phone.
Yvonne became nervous since she could not contact Jason, so she called Mrs. Frey instead.
But it yielded the same result. Mrs. Frey''s phone was switched off too.
"Why couldn''t I contact them?" Yvonne put down her phone defeatedly.
Henry peeked at her and drank the water calmly. "You better deal with this issue after you return to
our homnd. It''s useless for you to be anxious here."
"It seems like that''s the only way now..." Yvonne smiled bitterly.
She could not fall asleep that night too.
The next day, she went and met Henry with dark circles under her eyes. Henry raised his eyebrows
slightly. He realized why she was unable to rest well immediately.
"You didn''t sleep for these past two nights?” Henry asked her all of a sudden when they left the
hospital.
Yvonne yawned. "I couldn’t fall asleep. I found myself thinking about all those things the minute I
closed my eyes."
She was worried about Henry''s injuries the day before yesterday.
The previous night, she was thinking about Jason and his habit of gambling.
How could she fall asleep given that she was being tortured by those things?
"Is that so? How exhausted you must have been, living like that in this world!" Henry remarked
sarcastically and opened the door of the car before getting into the car.
Yvonne''s eyes became gloomier. Atst, she sighed and got into the car too.
Sometimes, she did feel that she had indeed a much stressful life. She was constantly worried
about a lot o f things, and she could not bring herself to let them go.
But she could not help it given that it was how she was.
They remained quiet all the way to the airport.
Yvonne gave a hand to Henry, and they got down from the car. All of the other employees from the
company were gathered there too.
They saw her arriving at the airport with Henry, so they could not help but make their own
judgments and conjectures.
Yvonne did not bother about them this time around. She helped Henry stand beside Joe before she
returned to her team and stood beside Lte, waiting for them to mark their attendance.
"Yvonne, did Mr. Lancaster bother you much?" Lte approached her and asked softly.
Yvonne rubbed her heavy eyelids. "What do you mean?"
"Just because of the dark circles under your eyes. I thought I met a panda just now." Lte
exaggerated the facts and a shiver was seen running down her spine.
Yvonne could not help but smile. "I didn''t have a good rest. What does it have to do with him or
whether he bothered me or not?"
"Of course it’s rted. Try to think of it this way. If he didn''t bother you much, why didn''t you have a
good rest? Tell me frankly. Did hein about you, saying that you didn''t do a very good job of
taking care of him? Did he order you aroundst night just because of that?"
"No." Yvonne was amused, and she shook her head. "I indeed didn’t have a good rest, but it has
nothing to do with Mr. Lancaster. Let’s not talk about it anymore. They''re going to mark our
attendance now." "Fine." Lte stood properly at her own position.
Then, they went to check-in for the flight after they received their boarding passes.
Yvonne nced at the boarding pass in Lte’s hand, and turned to look at herself who received
nothing. She could not help but raise her hand and ask, "Why am I not given a boarding pass?"
“You''re not leaving with them." The person who answered him was not their superior who distributed
the boarding passes, but Joe who was now walking toward her.
Yvonne looked at him. "Then who am I leaving with?"
"You''re leaving with Mr. Lancaster. Did you forget what he told you before?" Joe gestured to her,
miming the action of a ne taking off.
Yvonne soon recovered. She smacked her forehead slightly. "I indeed forgot about it."
When they were on their outbound flight, she vomited because of dizziness. So Henry asked her to
take the private jet back on their inbound flight.
But a lot of things happened for the past two days, and she hadpletely forgotten about that.
"Now that you remember, pleasee with me. Mr. Lancaster is waiting for you.” Joe turned and
left. 2
Yvonne took her luggage and got ready to follow him. But Lte grabbed her before Yvonne could
leave.
"Yvonne, what were you talking about?”
"I''ll tell you when we''re back." Yvonne patted the back of Lte’s hand in a consoling manner,
signaling for her to release her hand.
Lte let go of her hand. “That''s fine. But you really need to tell me what happened when we''re
back. I feel that it''s rather strange between you and Mr.
Lancaster."
“Sure. You have my promise.” Yvonne replied casually and ran after Joe.
She did not know whether it was because of the ne.
She rode on themercial ne during their outbound flight. She was extremely nauseated and
dizzy.
However, it was different this time around. Although she still felt slightly ufortable, she found
herself able to endure it. Besides, she did not have the urge to vomit either.
Realizing that, she was soon delighted. She nned to thank Henry for that. If he did not n to
use the private ne, she would certainly puke her guts out vigorously.
She smiled faintly and looked toward Henry. But she was stunned the next second.
Surprisingly, he was wearing an eye mask and sleeping soundly.
Yvonne sighed regretfully. She could only give up her intention to thank him for the time being, and
she nned to express her gratitude toward him after he woke up.
Thinking about that, she wrapped the nket around herself tighter and slept too.
When she woke up, she realized that she was not on the ne anymore. She was in the bedroom
of the vi.
She was stunned for a short while. She tried her best but still she was unaware of how she returned
to the vi. She pulled the nket away and rushed downstairs.
Currently, Sue was doing the house chores, cleaning u p the vi. She smiled and greeted Yvonne
when she saw hering downstairs. "You''re awake, madam."
"Sue, where''s Henry?" Yvonne raised her doubt as she scanned through the living room.
"Master went to the hospital." Sue put down the rag and replied.
Yvonne blinked her eyes. "How long has he been gone?"Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
