Chapter 116 Pregnant?


    Thinking that he had seeded, Jason''s eyes were blinking in dor signs as he nodded in fervor.


    "I''m sure. Henry, are you really giving me money?"


    "I am!" The smirk hanging at the corner of Henry’s lips grew deeper.


    Yvonne panicked as she thought that he was really going to give Jason money. "Henry, you can''t..."


    Henry immediately warned her with his eyes, his gaze saying, "Shut up!"


    mping her mouth shut, Yvonne ceased making any sound while Henry shifted his attention back


    to the phone.


    Jason''s excitement was oozing from the line. "Henry, you’re a great man. How much are you giving


    me?"


    Henry was so rich. He was a billionaire. He would at least be giving him hundreds of thousands of


    dors, right? Once Jason thought of that, he shook in ecstasy.


    In spite of it, Henry gave him a bucket of ice water." However much you want but the premise is that


    you g o to prison for a few years first!"


    "What?" Jason was thrown off guard.


    "I said, as long as you go to jail, I''ll give you money,”


    Henry repeated patiently.


    A chill crept through Jason. "Henry, you''re joking, aren''t you?"


    "Who are you to me? Do you think I''d joke about this with you? I told your mom the same thing. If


    you dare ask money from your sister again, I''ll throw you into jail. So are you picking jail time or


    money?” Henry asked airily.


    It sounded like a devil''s threat to Jason. "You - you... You''re the one who said it?"


    "It''s me," Henry sang.


    Yvonne''s tense body rxed at once. She actually thought that he was going to give Jason money.


    "Henry, how could you do this to me? Why would you make me go to jail?" Jason''s cover was blown


    as he exploded there and then.


    He received a jeer from Henry. "Just because you Freys have your eyes set on my assets, that’s


    why.


    This alone warrants me to throw you in prison but I’m letting you off the hook because of your sister.


    Money o r jail time?"


    Jason spat through his anger. "You win this time, Lancaster!"


    He hung up, his choice was obvious.


    He was not a fool. No one would opt to go to prison when they had freedom to enjoy.


    "Looks like he isn''t too stupid.” Henry returned


    Yvonne''s phone.


    Yvonne received it with both hands and asked," Henry, why did you suddenlye down?"


    "Sue went up to fetch me saying that Jason was harassing you," Henry answered, faintly crossing


    his legs.


    Yvonne smiled wryly. "Sorry, I''ve caused you trouble again.”


    "Not a big deal on my part. I think it’s annoying that h e calls you anyway." Henry averted his gaze.


    Yvonne was slightly startled. "But I took the call in the living room. You shouldn''t have heard it from


    the study upstairs?"


    Henry’s temple throbbed as his face fell. "Alright, that''s not important. The matter at hand is... are


    you nning to keep this up forever?"


    "What do you mean?" Yvonne did not quite understand him.


    Henry picked up the water ss from the coffee table. "Jason won’t be asking money from you for


    the time being since I''ve pressured him just now, but what about the future? Who knows? Someone


    like him has n o sense of family. He could do anything for money."


    "I know." A wash of bitterness zed Yvonne’s eyes.


    Henry looked at her. "Have you thought about cutting ties with the Freys?"


    "Cutting ties?" Yvonne’s heart skipped a beat.


    Henry hummed. "If you want to, I can ask Joe to arrange for awyer."


    "It''s nothing that serious." Yvonne shrunk. She knew that her parents and her younger brother were


    not good people, but they were her family. She thought about treating them as distant rtives in


    the future but never had she thought about cutting ties.


    Looking at the shock that sat on Yvonne’s expression, Henry knew that she was unwilling to do so


    and became disappointed in her.


    "Up to you then. Hopefully you won’t regret it!"


    With that, he got up to go upstairs again. Since Yvonne was not willing to get herself out of the


    misery as the party directly involved, why was he considering so much for her? Someone who did


    not know how to struggle and fight back was not worthy of his regard.


    Yvonne could feel Henry’s disappointment in her as well and she was well aware of the reason. She


    could not refute it, however, because she honestly was unable to cut ties with her parents. She


    could only apologize to Henry in her mind.


    "Madam." Sue came down while carrying sheets that needed to be washed.


    Yvonne wiped the corners of her eyes and stered a smile. "What is it?" "Do you want to wash


    your clothes from yesterday too?”


    "Oh, I almost forgot about it.” Yvonne picked up the bag beside her and took out yesterday’s


    clothes.


    Sue went to theundry room after taking them. Losing the interest to stay in the living room alone,


    Yvonne went upstairs after drinking some water. It waste. Jason’s unreasonable call had sapped


    most o f her energy and she was feeling a slight ache in her stomach. After a simple wash up, she


    threw herself on the bed.


    For some reason, Yvonne had been visited by the sleeping bug recently. She kept yawning and


    would fall asleep once she tucked herself in. If she had not set an rm, she would not be able to


    wake up after she fell asleep too. It was bizarre.


    "This body is getting worse,” Yvonne muttered with a sigh as she looked at her pale self through the


    phone camera.


    Since donating her bone marrow to Jacqueline, she could feel that her body was not quite like it


    used to b e. She could not imagine what her body would end up like if this went on. Yvonne rubbed


    her face to snip the thoughts that ran wild in her head, stopping herself from thinking negatively. The


    more she thought about it, the more she would mind it! 1


    Yvonne turned off her phone and ced it on the nightstand before switching off all the lights in the


    room, leaving a dim nightlight. Not knowing when Henry woulde back to the room, the


    nightlight was for him so he could at least see his way when he returned.


    Pulling the covers over herself, Yvonne fell asleep. Henry came back not too long after that. He


    pressed his lips together when he walked over to take a look at her and saw that she was sound


    asleep.


    Why was this woman asleep once more?


    She had slept the whole day and it was not even five hours since she woke up but she had fallen


    asleep again. Was she feeling unwell anywhere?


    Worried, Henry put his palm on Yvonne''s forehead but it was not warm. She did not have a fever. It


    meant that she was not unwell and that she was genuinely asleep.


    Henry withdrew his hand with a glower and turned for the bathroom.


    The woman was fine. His worry was in vain!


    The next day at the break of dawn, a call summoned Henry away. When he left, he made a slightly


    louder noise, causing Yvonne to crack a sleepy eye open to see his retreating back. Thinking that


    she was dreaming, she thought nothing of it and turned away t o continue sleeping all the way until


    noon.


    Sue ced lunch in front of Yvonne and asked," Madam, do you feel unwell anywhere recently?


    Why are you sleeping longer and longer?” "No, I feel fine," Yvonne’s answer was muffled as she put


    food in her mouth.


    Sue carefully scrutinized her face and was still uneasy. "But madam, you don’t look too good. Are


    you really fine?"


    "I am." Yvonne smiled at her. "I''ve been drowsy recently and my tummy doesn''t feel that great."


    "Drowsy... upset tummy..." Sue mumbled and asked anxiously, "Madam, did you have your period


    last month?"

    Yvonne gave it a thought and shook her head. "I don''t think so. I don''t remember..."


    Sue stared at her stomach in delight. "Madam, are you pregnant?"
