Chapter 338 Lte’s Gift
"Well, the vi belongs to my husband. He doesn''t like outsiders in our house so I need his opinion,"
Yvonne exined.
Lte nodded. "Alright, can you check with him first? I''m just so curious about your house."
"Okay, let me ask him. I''ll reply to you in a bit." Yvonne answered. She ended the call before she
opened her WhatsApp and sent a message to Henry.
She assumed initially that he would take a long time t o reply, but it took less than two minutes for
him to message back. "It''s up to you!"
Even with those few words, it was evident that Henry didn''t mind Lte visiting the vi to look for
herself. Yvonne found this a little unexpected and was pleasantly surprised. She suddenly realized
that from some unknown time, Henry had be a lot more persuadable. In the past, he certainly
wouldn''t react in the same way.
"Thank you, Henry." Yvonne thanked Henry with a voice message and informed Lte that Henry
had agreed for her toe over. When Lte got Yvonne''s reply, she immediately rushed down.
When Lte arrived, It was the first time she had seen such a luxurious vi. She observed
everything around her like a curious child.
"Gosh! I finally know the true meaning of the word '' rich.'' This isn''t just a vi. Isn''t this a goddamn
estate?" Lte was rendered speechless. She kept looking around at her surroundings, unable to
calm down.
When Yvonne noticed Lte’s astoundment, she found it hrious. "Come on. I will bring you
aroundter. Have a drink first."
Yvonne ced a ss of honey water in front of Lte.
Lte took a few deep breaths and curbed her stupefaction. She took a sip of her honey water
and eximed, "As expected, water from a rich man''s house tastes better than what normal folk
drink."
“Cut the crap." Yvonne couldn''t help rolling her eyes. Lte chuckled.
Yvonne sat down beside Lte. "You told me you have a gift for me. What is it?"
Lte’s eyes darted a little. She ced her ss down and opened her bag. Then, she took a
small box out.
"What’s this?" Yvonne was curious about the gift she received from Lte.
Lte told her to open the box and Yvonne did what she said. After she opened the box, she
found a crystal bracelet lying in it. She took the bracelet from the box and took a closer look at it.
"It''s beautiful!" Yvonne enthused.
"Do you like it?" Lte asked.
Yvonne nodded.
"I bought this just for you," Lte said.
Yvonne put the bracelet back in the box. "What made you think of getting this for me?"
"Well... it is mainly because you helped me a lot the other time and I wanted to thank you. I felt that
treating you to a meal wasn''t enough. After thinking about it, I decided to buy this. It isn''t that
expensive, I hope you don''t mind." As Lte exined, she took the bracelet from Yvonne and
helped her wear it.
As Yvonne looked at the bracelet on her wrist, she liked it even more. She quickly shook her head.
"I don''t mind that. I like anything you give me."
"Great." Lte curled her lips almost as if she was about tough, but somehow she didn''t.
Instead, her expression became a little weird. However, Yvonne was too happy about the bracelet
that she naturally didn''t notice.
At that moment, Sue walked in with a thermos sk. She ced it quietly on the coffee table.
"Madam, this i s the soup for Master Lancaster. You can bring it over t o himter."
"Okay," Yvonne nodded.

Sue gave Lte a cordial smile before she turned around and went back to work.
Lte looked in the direction in which Sue left.
Finally, she turned her gaze to the thermos sk on the coffee table. Her expression darkened. She
clenched her hands which she ced on her own legs unnaturally.
"Yvonne."
"Yes?" Yvonne replied.
Lte finished the honey water in her ss with a gulp. Then, she held the ss up, "Could you
get me a refill?"
"Sure," Yvonne answered cheerfully and brought the empty ss to the kitchen.
When she returned to the living room after a few minutes, she found it empty.
"Huh," she muttered oddly as she ced the ss down. "Where is she?"
Did she already leave? But that was impossible, she was only here for a few minutes.
With those thoughts, Yvonne quickly cupped her hands around her ears and attempted to look for
Lte, shouting, "Lyn? Lyn?"
"I''m here." Lte’s voice came from the direction of the washroom.
Yvonne turned around and saw Lte’s face dripping with water. Lte’s face was pallid.
Yvonne was shocked and immediately asked, "What happened to you?"
"I''m alright. I just went to wash my face." Lte avoided Yvonne''s gaze and tried to reply with a
forced smile.
Yvonne frowned. "Okay? But, you don''t look too good. D o you feel unwell?"
As she said that, she reached for Lte''s forehead.
However, Lte promptly caught Yvonne''s hand and stopped her before she touched her skin. "I''m
really alright. You don’t have to touch and check.”
"But your hand is really cold." Yvonne was still worried.
Lte let go of Yvonne. "Maybe it’s because I just ran it under cold water. It is alright. It will warm
up in a bit."
"Are you really alright?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes with doubt.
Lte walked past Yvonne and headed for the sofa. " Of course. Okay, Yvonne. Let''s not talk
about this. I received a call from the hospital when I was in the washroom. They told me something
cropped up with my dad’s condition. I need to hurry over."
"In that case, I’ll get our driver to send you there." Yvonne was about to give her driver a call after
she said that.
Lte immediately waved her hand. "There''s no need for that. The bus stop is just outside. I can
go there myself. Yvonne, I have to go. Goodbye."
After she said that, she waved. She took her bag from the sofa and left the vi swiftly.
"Madam, has Miss Yaeger left?" Sue came out of theundry room after she finished theundry.
She saw Yvonne alone in the living room and couldn''t help asking.
Yvonne nodded. "She just left. She got a call in the washroom. Something happened at the
hospital.”
"That''s strange." Sue frowned.
Yvonne looked at her puzzledly. "What''s strange?"
"I mean the call, of course. I was in theundry room. The washroom is right next to it, but I didn''t
hear her answer her phone," Sue replied.
Yvonne definitely didn''t think that Sue would lie. The only conclusion was that Lte had lied.
"Why did she have to lie to me?" Yvonne uttered with suspicion.
Sue shrugged. "I have no idea. She is your good friend, just ask her."
Yvonne pursed her lips. "Forget it. Maybe she’s just looking for an excuse to leave." 1
"Can''t she just tell you that she needs to leave? Why does she need an excuse? I can’t help but feel
that she i s acting weird today." Sue couldn’t make sense of Lte''s thinking.
When Yvonne heard that, she fell silent. Sue wasn’t the only one with that thought. Yvonne also
noticed that Lte seemed very strange today- she was acting as though she had done something
wrong.
When Lte was leaving, it was even more pronounced. Why did it feel like she was running
away?
"Madam, what are you thinking about?” Sue called out to Yvonne when she noticed her in a daze.
Yvonne snapped out of her thoughts and temporarily took her mind off that matter. Sheughed
softly, "It''s okay. It is quitete now. I should be heading to the nursing home to visit Grandpa."
"Go ahead. Come back early.” Sue walked Yvonne to the entrance of the vi.
Yvonne bid her goodbye and left in a car with Luke.
As she sat in the car, Yvonne looked at the passing scenery. She was still thinking about Lte''s
unusual behavior. She couldn’t help feeling worried so she took out her mobile phone and
messaged Lte t o ask if she had something on her mind.
Lte''s reply was quick. But there were only two words: I’m sorry!
Yvonne looked at the apology which seemingly came from nowhere and couldn''t make sense of it.
What did Lte mean?
