Chapter 487 Shy Theo
He would probably me her because she was not one of those women who was dying to be with
Henry— she was his business partner.
If Henry''s brain was normal, he should know the rationality of it all.
Unfortunately, she wouldn''t be able to witness Jacqueline getting rebuked by Henry.
Yvonne sighed regretfully.
Suddenly, the phone in her bag started ringing.

Yvonne cleared her thoughts and took out her mobile phone. When she saw the caller ID, she
quickly answered it. "Shane."
"Yvonne, is the auction over?" Shane asked.
Yvonne squeezed her stiff neck. "Almost."
"Ah, then pleasee back quickly. Theo misses you and he doesn''t want to go to sleep," Shane
said with a wry smile as he looked at the kid sitting on the bedside while ying with a Rubik''s
Cube.
Although this child did not cry or cause any trouble because of autism, his temperament was very
difficult to gauge.
Especially when it came to sleeping. Theo would simply ignore him.
So Shane called her after much consideration.
When Yvonne heard that Theo was thinking about her, her eyes softened. "I miss him too. I''ll be
back soon."
Shane scratched his hair and said, "Okay. Hurry up, it''ste now. If Theo still doesn’t sleep, he
definitely won’t be able to get up tomorrow."
Yvonne said, "I will. Thanks for your hard work, Shane. H
"It''s okay. Be careful on the road," Shane reminded her.
Yvonne nodded with a smile and hung up. She walked out of the lounge and greeted the organizer
of the auction before she left.
When she got back to the hotel, it was almost midnight already.
Yvonne opened the door of the suite and went in. She could hear Shane telling a story from the
bedroom.
She smiled softly and walked towards the bedroom lightly.
The bedroom door was open, and she walked over to see what was going on in the room.
She saw Theo sitting on the side of the bed and Shane sitting by the bed. Theo was twisting the
Rubik''s Cube relentlessly, while Shane was holding a storybook and reading it word by word.
Although it looked like one was coaxing the other to sleep, they both were doing their own thing and
had nothing to do with each other.
Yvonne couldn''t help butugh out loud.
Herughter also interrupted the adult and the child i n the room.
Both of them stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked at her.
Shane looked at her as if he just found his savior. His eyes lit up. "Yvonne, you''re finally back."
He could finally be liberated.
This child was too difficult to work with.
However, he was not like this half a month before. Could it be that because his mother came, his
behavior changed?
Although Theo could not speak, his eyes were fixed on Yvonne, and he seemed to feel happy about
her return.
"Well, I''m back." Yvonne smiled and walked towards them.
When she stood in front of them, Shane got up and left the seat for her.
He knew that she would definitely want to give Theo a hug.
Sure enough, after seeing Shane''s intention, Yvonne smiled gratefully at him and bent down to hug
Theo.
Theoy on her shoulders quietly, and he stopped twisting the Rubik''s Cube in his hand.
Shane was surprised when he saw it. "Theo really missed you. Look, now that you''re here, he''s
stopped ying with the Rubik''s Cube."
Yvonne could feel her heart melt. As she looked at Theo''s pale, tender face, she couldn''t hold back
and gave him a kiss. "Mommy misses Theo too."
Theo''s petite body froze and he seemed to be stunned.
After a few seconds, he suddenly wrapped his arms around Yvonne''s neck and buried his little head
in her neck.
When Shane saw this, he smiled, "Is the little guy acting shy?"
Yvonne gently patted Theo on the back. "Theo gets shy very easily."
Theo still did not move, but his body became even stiffer.
Yvonne knew that he was listening to their conversation and he understood. She was very excited
to know that.
Theo''s autism had really gotten better.
In the past, no matter how much they teased him, he would not show any reaction. He would be
completely immersed in his own world, either by ying with his Rubik''s Cube or he would just sit in
a daze. But now, h e was actually listening to them silently and he even showed some physical
reactions.
It seemed that she did the right thing by bringing Theo back to Canada.
After thinking about it, Yvonne held back the urge to cry and turned to Shane as she said, "Shane,
wait for m e outside first. I''ll put Theo to sleep."
"Okay, I''ll go out first then." Shane nodded and said goodnight to Theo before turning around to
leave the room.
After he left, Yvonne put Theo back in his bed and then went to get the storybook just now so that
she could read him to sleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Theo got into the bed, he rolled over and closed his eyes without her
coaxing at all.
Yvonne had no choice but to put down the storybook. She touched Theo''s head, turned off the light,
and left the room.
In the living room, Shane was drinking water. He heard footsteps and turned his head to look.
When Shane saw Yvonne walking towards him while stretching her waist, he was a little surprised.
"Did you put Theo to sleep that fast?"
"No, Theo fell asleep before I could do anything,” Yvonne said with a smile.
Shane gave her a ss of water. "I see. Thank goodness you came back. When I was with him, he
wouldn''t sleep no matter what."
"He probably wanted to wait until I came back," Yvonne said with a chuckle as she grabbed the
ss and took a sip.
Shane nodded. "I think so too. Theo has always been insecure, and the person he trusts most is
you. He will only be at ease when he sees you with his own eyes."
"Yeah." Yvonne sat down.
Shane wrinkled his nose when he smelled the scent of wineing from her. "Did you drink?"
"I only had one. Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing." Yvonne smiled indifferently.
Shane pursed his lips. "One drink is more than enough. You should drink less, you don''t have
another kidney."
"I know. Let''s just let it take its course," Yvonne said lightly.
Five years ago, she got a new kidney, which allowed her to live up until now. i
However, two years ago, after her grandmother’s death, her body became abnormal again. After the
examination, they found that her other kidney had also begun to fail. In other words, her other
kidney must also be reced someday in the future! 3
But her condition was unique and it was difficult to find a suitable match. It was already very difficult
for the Smith family to find one for her in the first ce, s o finding another one was certainly not
that simple.
Therefore, she was calm and kept an open mind. The doctor told her that she had already gotten a
new kidney, so even if the other kidney failedpletely and they could not find a suitable one, she
could still live for about ten years. 1
Ten years was enough for her to be with Theo until he grew up to be a teenager.
When Shane saw Yvonne not caring enough about her body, he felt helpless. "You..."
"Okay, let’s not talk about me. Do you know about Henry''s headache?" Yvonne put down the ss
of water and asked.
Shane frowned. "I do, but how did you know?"
"I forgot to tell you that I went to the auction with him tonight. Three days ago, he instructed Joe to
ask me if I would go to the auction. I wanted to know his purpose so I went there. Before I could
figure it out, he had a headache and passed out." Yvonne curled her lips.
Shane suddenly lifted his chin. "I see. But based on how well I know him, he probably hasn''t given
uppletely and he still has some doubts about your identity. So that was why he wanted to feel
you out personally."
"Feel me out?" Yvonne''s lips curled up disdainfully. " How? Isn’t his memory of me remain stuck
during the time I married him? So doesn''t that mean that he has forgotten all the memories we had
in the three years after we got married?"
