Chapter 228 Lte’s Troubles


    Yvonne gently coughed. "It''s me."


    "Yvonne?" asked the surprised Lte


    Yvonne nodded. "That''s me."


    "Wow, you actually called me?” said Lte excitedly.


    Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "Is it that bad for me to call you?"


    "What do you think? After you resigned and left, you changed your phone number and disappeared


    without a trace. I thought you didn’t want to be my friend anymore," said Lte begrudgingly.


    Yvonne rubbed her nose and said, "Alright, it''s my fault. I had intended to live in solitude, and that''s


    why I changed my number. But I was nning to call you once I settled down..."


    "So why are you calling me now?" interrupted Lte.


    Yvonne sighed. "I''m back in the city.”


    "What? You’re back?" Lte was surprised. "I thought you were going to stay in the vige for a


    few months. Why’re you back so soon?"


    "My husband brought me back with him," replied Yvonne as she massaged her temples.


    "Your husband?" Lte squinted her eyes. "Hold on, didn’t you say you were going to divorce


    him? Does this mean you''ve changed your mind now that you’vee back with him?"


    "Yes," replied Yvonne.


    Lte stroked her hair and said, "What happened? What changed your mind?"


    "It’s rather difficult to exin to you over the phone. Why don''t we meet up? I''m outside your office


    now. Are you avable?" suggested Yvonne.


    Lte agreed to the proposal immediately. "Sure, I haven''t got much work on hand at the moment.


    I''ll be right there, wait for me."


    As she finished, she quickly hung up the phone call and ran off.


    Two minutester, Yvonne saw Lte approaching while carrying her handbag and waved at her.


    "Over here Lyn."


    Lte''s eyes glowed as she saw her and hastened steps towards her. "How long have you been


    waiting here?"


    "I was already here when I called you," replied Yvonne.


    Lte held her hand and scanned Yvonne. "You seem much better than thest time I saw you. I


    thought you’d be suffering back in your vige.”


    "How would I be suffering? I was either eating or sleeping there." Yvonneughed heartily.


    In truth, she had only suffered a little during her first day as she had to tidy up the house.


    But when Henry and Sue arrived on the second day, Sue prepared her meals, so she had been


    doing fine.


    "I''m relieved that you''re doing fine now." Lteughed and continued to ask, "Right, is something


    the matter for you to call me up today?"


    "Nothing much, I just wanted to see you to let you know I’m back and ask you out for a meal."


    Yvonne adjusted the handbag on her shoulders.


    Lte looked at her watch and said, "Sure, I''m about t o be on my lunch break now. Shall we eat


    at the restaurant over there?"


    Lte pointed at the restaurant located opposite them.


    Yvonne turned her head to look in that direction and agreed.


    After they ordered at the restaurant, Lte poured a ss of orange juice for Yvonne and asked,


    "So what were you saying about your husband? What made you change your mind?"


    "It was simple. He didn''t want to divorce so it was cancelled," replied Yvonne as she sipped her


    juice.


    Lte frowned and looked at her. "What about you? Are you still insisting on getting a divorce?"


    "I-I..." Yvonne shook her head and continued, "I''m not insisting on it anymore either. I wanted to get


    a


    divorce because he couldn’t fulfill what I asked him to do. But yesterday, he finally agreed to do it,


    so I''ll put it aside for the moment."


    That''s right, she had notpletely put aside the divorce ns yet.


    Although Henry had promised to avenge her and their child, she could not rest easy, not until the


    deed was actually done.


    She could not forget the amount of love and care Henry had for Jacqueline in the past. Also, they


    had to wait for a few months before their revenge could be executed, so who knew what would


    happen within that amount of time?


    "I see," nodded Lte as she rubbed her chin." Although I haven''t got the slightest clue what your


    rtionship is like now, but as your friend, I will support you all the way no matter what you do.


    Even if your husband helped rmend a doctor for my dad."


    Yvonne felt warmth from Lte’s words and said," Thank you Lyn."


    "We''re friends, there''s nothing to thank," replied Lte with a chuckle.


    Yvonne nodded continuously and said, "You''re right, we''re best friends."


    "Isn''t that right?” Lte reached out and caressed Yvonne''s hair.


    Yvonne was slightly ufortable and pouted. "Why do all of you seem to enjoy caressing my


    hair?"


    Shane had done it, Henry had done it, and now Lte was doing the same as well.


    Did her hair have some kind of enchantment that caused them to enjoy doing it all the time?


    "Because it''sforting. Your hair''s so soft and silky that most people would not be able to resist


    the urge t o caress your hair."


    Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"


    "Of course. Why don''t you try it yourself then? It feels really good," encouraged Lte.


    Yvonne actually reached out to try as well. She was unsure if it was a psychological effect, but it


    actually felt good to caress her own hair.


    "You seem to be enjoying it," said Lte,ughing.


    Yvonne felt embarrassed and put down her hand." Alright, enough about this. How''s your dad?"


    Lte’s face stiffened, and her smile disappeared from her face.


    Yvonne’s heart sank. "Has something happened to his leg? I-is he..."


    "That''s not it." Lte shook her head.


    "Then what''s with your expression? Something must''ve happened." Yvonne grabbed her hand and


    spoke nervously.


    Lte forcefully smiled and replied, "It’s actually nothing - my dad''s leg has recovered a lot since


    changing doctors. But, the doctor has noticed that the nervous system in my dad''s leg has not


    completely died yet, so there seems to be hope for him to stand again."


    "That’s good, but why don’t you seem too happy about i t?" Yvonne was confused.


    Lte sighed. "It''s really good news, but do you know how much the surgery would cost? A


    hundred and fifty thousand dors. Where on earth would I find such arge amount of money?


    Even if I sell my house, I still wouldn’t be able to afford to pay for the recovery.”


    Yvonne fell silent as she heard this.


    That amount of money would mean nothing to the Lancasters. But to Lte, it was a sum that was


    too much for them.


    She could not even help her even if she wanted to.


    She had even owed Henry arge sum as well.


    "But are you seriously going to give up on the surgery?” asked Yvonne. She couldn’t bear to see


    Lte miss the opportunity.


    Lte''s dad had always treated her well - she could not bear to see him confined to a wheelchair


    as well.


    “I do want him to proceed with the surgery, but I’m unable to umte that much money in a short


    period of time. I have no choice but to postpone the


    surgery, or even get a loan.” Lte let out a wryugh.

    Yvonne lowered her head and stayed silent. She felt sorry for Lte.


    Lte was touched by her concern and said, "Come o n, I''m not despaired by the situation. Why


    do you look so glum?"


    "I just feel so sorry that I''m unable to help you,” said Yvonne sadly.


    Lte flicked Yvonne on the forehead and said," Silly girl, you''ve done a lot already by


    rmending this doctor to him. So stop ming yourself. Let''s eat, food’s here.”


    "Alright." Yvonne forced a smile and began to eat.


    The two of them ate and chattered away continuously.


    It was at that moment that Yvonne’s phone rang.


    She paused her conversation with Lte and picked up her phone to answer, "Sue, is something


    the matter?"
