Chapter 142 His Rage, On Her


    Yvonne’s gaze dulled as she was filled with selfdepreciation.


    She was the one who asked him to answer the call, but when she saw him doing so, she felt upset.


    2


    Was she too dramatic?


    Not knowing what Yvonne was afflicted over and not noticing her dampening mood, Henry focused


    all his attention on the call. Two minutester, he sprang up, his eyes squinted. "Shane, what did


    you say?"


    Yvonne was startled by him and flinched. "Henry, what’s the matter? Did something happen?"


    Henry looked at her with a dark look but did not answer her.


    Yvonne''s lips quivered. "What - what is it? Why are you looking at me like this?"


    "If something happens to Jackie, I won’t let you get away!” It was these confusing words that Henry


    told her icily before he picked up his jacket and went out 0 f the door.


    His steps were hasty like he was in a hurry.


    Not a whileter, Yvonne heard the car engine running outside the vi. When she caught herself


    out of the shock and gave chase, he was no longer there.


    Yvonne watched him leave with a pale face and slowly slid down against the marble pir outside.


    Squatting down, she hugged herself, enveloped in a morose glum.


    It should have been a good meal but Henry had left without an exnation except a warning. What


    did he mean by not letting her get away if something happened to Jacqueline? Did something


    happen to the woman?


    "Madam, why are you out here alone? Where’s sir?" Sue came out from the vi and quickly pulled


    Yvonne to her feet when she saw her balled up on the floor.


    Standing up suddenly from squatting down so long, Yvonne felt dizzy as blood could not be


    supplied throughout her body fast enough. She stumbled and felt ck dots clouding her vision.


    Sue hurriedly made her lean on herself.


    After a while, the dizziness went away. Yvonne plucked herself up from Sue and smiled weakly."


    Thank you, Sue."


    "Don''t worry about it. Come in now." Sue helped her into the vi. After sitting her down, she went to


    the kitchen to make her a sweet drink.


    Blood gradually returned to Yvonne''s nched face after she took the drink and answered Sue''s


    question just now. "Henry left."


    "What?" Sue was appalled. "Conrad asked him to?"


    Yvonne nodded.


    Sue was fuming. "Why is sir like this? Doesn''t he know that it''s your birthday today?"


    "He knows. But it''s also Jacqueline’s birthday." Yvonne chuckled bitterly.


    Sue was astounded and recalled that to be true, looking even more affronted. "So what if it''s her


    birthday too today? Sir promised you that he''d spend the day with you, madam. What is he trying to


    do now by going to that woman?"


    Yvonne hung her head, her expression obscured." Maybe something happened to Miss Conrad."


    "What could possibly happen to her?" Sue scoffed. " That woman is extremely selfish. Anything


    could happen to anyone and not her."


    "Sue, don’t be like that. I saw how anxious Henry was when he received the call. Maybe something


    did happen to Miss Conrad." Yvonne recalled the worry and panic that pained Henry''s expression


    before he left. It felt like a stab to her heart.


    "Madam, I can call sir and ask about it?" Sue suggested.


    Yvonne shook her head. "Never mind."


    "Then what about you?" Sue looked at her sympathetically. "It’s your birthday today, madam.


    And you haven''t told him about your pregnancy."


    Yvonne clenched her fists and stered on a smile." It''s okay. I''ll wait for him. It''s still early. He’ll


    probablye back."


    "Hopefully so," Sue sighed and held Yvonne''s hand." Let’s go, madam. Forget about sir. You should


    eat first."


    "I don’t have the appetite.” Yvonne refused.


    The table of dishes was made for Henry. Now that he left, he took her appetite away with him. She


    was not i n any mood to eat.


    "No way. You have to eat more or less," Sue advised.


    Yvonne waved her hand. "I really don’t feel like eating."


    "Then what about the food?" asked Sue.


    "Throw them away,” Yvonne answered after thinking.


    "That’s a waste. I can keep them in the fridge first. If sir doese backter, I can heat them up


    again?" Sue suggested helpfully.


    Yvonne hummed casually. "Up to you."


    "Alright, I''ll go do that." Sue made her way to the kitchen.


    Yvonne turned for a nce before putting down the ss and went upstairs. She was going to take


    a nap while waiting for Henry toe back. Although she felt that there was a slim chance that he


    would be back, she wanted to at least have some hope. Maybe h e would actually be home when


    she woke up.


    With such anticipation, she drifted into dreand.


    In spite of it, when she woke up three hourster, Henry was still not home.


    It was already five in the evening. Seven more hours and her birthday would be over.


    Perhaps Henry would really note back today when he was not yet home at this time...


    "Sue,” Yvonne called out softly, reeling in her gaze toward the window.


    Sue came out from the washroom, wiping her hands." Madam, you''re awake?”


    “Mm.” Yvonne made a slight nod. "Henry didn''te back after I slept, did he?”


    Sue hesitated before sighing, "No."


    "Guessed so." Yvonne smiled sadly. "Did he call then?”


    Sue shook her head.


    Biting her lips, Yvonne replied, "Alright."


    She got up and headed for the door. Sue stopped her a t once. "Where are you going, madam?”


    "I''m going to the hospital to check it out," Yvonne answered. 1


    She wanted to know if Henry was spending Jacqueline''s birthday with her or if something actually


    happened to her when he was noting


    home.


    Guessing her thoughts, Sue did not support her decision. "Madam, just stay at home. If you see


    something in the hospital that spoils your mood, it''s just awful. It won''t do any good for your baby


    either."


    With the baby mentioned, Yvonne''s hand went to her tummy subconsciously. "But I’m restless if I


    don''t go and see for myself. I don''t know why but since Henry left, I''m just on pins and needles.”


    She was especially bothered with Henry’s warning toward her.

    "I know that you''re worried, madam. But will you be relieved after having a look?" Sue sighed.


    Yvonne parted her lips but said nothing.


    Sue continued. "Madam, don''t go to the hospital. When sires back, I''ll ask why he went to the


    hospital for you. If he says nothing, I’ll ask master to be the judge o f this."


    "Don''t. Don’t tell Grandpa.” Yvonne stopped her.


    Sue scowled. "Sir is growing more ridiculous. He said that nothing will take ce between him and


    that woman and yet he keeps getting entangled with her. Who knows what will happen if he keeps


    this on? In m y opinion, we should ask master to step in and snip whatever it is between them."


    "That’s easy to say, but if we do do so, Henry will take out his anger on me, assuming that I''m the


    one who made Grandpa do so. Forget it. I won’t go to the hospital. I want to take a walk outside.”


    Yvonne slightly tipped her chin up and breathed in. "Where to?" asked Sue.
