Chapter 168 Let's Divorce

Yvonne looked outside the window without saying a word.

Joe adjusted his glasses awkwardly. “Okay, I know what to do. I’ll tell Mr. Lancaster when I’m back.”

“Thank you.” Yvonne thanked him.

“No problem. It’s my duty. I’ll take my leave now, madam.”

“Alright.” Yvonne nodded.

After Joe left, Sue closed the door and couldn’t help asking, “Madam, why are you looking for sir now? Are you going to forgive him?”

“No.” Yvonne closed her eyes. Her voice was deep and tired. “I won’t forgive him. I could forgive him for anything. Even when he forcibly took my bone marrow away, I could still forgive him for that. But I can’t forgive him for ruthlessly killing my child just to take my bone marrow.”

Sue sighed.

Yvonne continued speaking, “You know what, Sue? I had nightmares two days ago and I dreamt of my child asking me why his father didn’t like him. He asked, why didn’t I protect him? I couldn’t even answer these two questions, I couldn't...”

“Madam.” Sue hugged and comforted her. “Madam, don’t think too much about it. Those are all dreams, just dreams.”

“I know, but I just can’t let go,” Yvonne choked.

Sue sighed again, "Poor you…”

Yvonne sobbed softly. “I really never thought that he would be so cruel to even call our child a devil’s spawn!”

“Devil’s spawn?” Sue’s body went stiff while she hugged Yvonne.

Yvonne felt that Sue was acting weird and she raised her head. “Sue, what’s wrong?”

Sue frowned. “Madam, did sir really call the child a devil’s spawn?”

“Yes, I heard it when I was on the operating table.”

“This can’t be right.” Sue touched her chin with a strange look. “Sir was well educated by the elites since he was a child. He would never say such a thing and he doesn’t even swear. Madam, are you sure this was what sir said?”

“Yes, he said that. I swear!” Yvonne swore with her three fingers.

Sue’s brows furrowed her brows. “That’s weird…”

‘Sir would never say such things, but madam wouldn’t lie either.’

Was there any hidden truth behind it?

“Madam, think carefully again. Did sir say anything else besides this?” Sue asked again.

Yvonne lowered her eyes and said softly, “He did.”

“What did he say?”

Yvonne laid out the whole scenario for Sue.

After hearing that, the curiosity in Sue grew bigger. “Boss? Who is that boss?”

“I don’t know. I did ask, but no one told me anything before the operation. Henry was the only one talking to the people who did the operation. The boss never said anything at all. He didn’t even show up.” Yvonne shook her head.

Sue narrowed her eyes. “That’s even stranger.”

“Why do you think it’s strange?” Yvonne looked at her.

Sue said in a deep voice, “Madam, you said that sir and the boss are the ones who took your bone marrow away. But think about it. Sir is the next patriarch of the Lancasters with massive power. Does he need to cooperate with others?”

Yvonne began to have weird feelings after hearing what Sue said. She pursed her lips and said, “So Sue, you’re saying that someone was acting as Henry?”

“I don’t mean that. I just think that this case is quite complicated,” Sue replied.

Yvonne squeezed her palms. “No matter how complicated it is. Henry is part of it and I won’t forgive him.”

“Madam, I’m not asking you to forgive sir. I just think that we should figure some things out and not leave it as it is. There are too many blurred lines here.” Sue picked up an apple and peeled it.

Yvonne smiled bitterly, “No, I’m afraid to figure it out. The outcome will be an unacceptable one, so be it.”

“Alright then.” Sue didn’t persuade Yvonne anymore after seeing her persistence. She cut the apple into small pieces and handed them to Yvonne.

Yvonne took it and thanked Sue. Then, she took a small bite.

Looking at Yvonne eating with a straight face, Sue did not disturb her. She picked up the water basin and went to the washroom to wash the clothes.

Half an hour later, Henry arrived at the hospital.

This was the first time he saw Yvonne after a week.

She had lost so much weight — her cheeks and eyes were sunken. Even her complexion didn’t look too good. Although she was born petite, it was painful to see her getting thinner.

Henry felt guilty and he blamed himself for no reason after seeing Yvonne in this condition. His thin lips moved and he seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, he only asked in a low voice, “How are you feeling?”

Yvonne lowered her head and looked at herself with a faint expression. “How am I feeling? Can’t you see how I look now, Mr. Lancaster?”

“What did you call me?” Henry’s pupils shrunk slightly.

Mr. Lancaster?

Did she just call him Mr. Lancaster?

Somehow, he felt a little uneasy hearing Yvonne calling him that.

Yvonne didn’t know what Henry was thinking. After hearing his question, she repeated herself, “Is there any problem, Mr. Lancaster?”

Her cold expression made Henry feel even more nervous. The panic and anxiety in him became obvious.

He was used to showing only his poker face where he did not react to anything. So even if there were any emotions at this time, he did not show them but raised his eyebrows. “No problem.”

“Very well, Mr. Lancaster. Please sit down.” Yvonne pointed to the chair beside the bed.

Henry didn’t say much. He walked over and sat down. “You asked Joe to look for me. Do you have something to tell me?”

“Yeah.” Yvonne nodded.

Henry looked at her pale face. Subconsciously, his voice became soft, “What is it?”

“Let’s get a divorce,” Yvonne replied.

Henry’s face slightly changed and he felt unpleasant. “What did you say?”

“I said, let’s get a divorce!” Yvonne repeated word by word.

Henry stood up quickly and the chair screeched the ground with a high-pitched noise.

Both of them ignored the noise and just stared at each other. One gave a deep look and another one was dull like the walking dead.

The air gradually became still when they looked at each other.

After a while, Henry calmed down and broke the rigid silence. He said coldly, “Did you just say divorce?”

He didn’t expect what Yvonne wanted to tell him was a divorce!

“Yes,” Yvonne answered fearlessly.

Henry shook both of his hands and his aura became cold. “Yvonne Frey, do you know what you just said?”

No wonder she was addressing him formally. She had planned this!

“I know, my mind is very clear. Mr. Lancaster, I want to divorce you,” Yvonne replied in a cold voice.

No one knew how much courage she mustered up just to talk about this divorce.

If it wasn’t for her huge disappointments in him, she wouldn’t file for a divorce.

After all, this was the only man who she loved deeply. Yet, it was also this man who continually stabbed her in the heart, causing her much heartache and pain.

Hearing Yvonne’s decisiveness about the divorce, Henry’s face became gloomy. “Yvonne Frey, give me a reason for the divorce!”

Yvonne lowered her eyes. “I hate you. Is that good enough a reason for you?”

Henry subconsciously took a step back upon hearing Yvonne’s answer. His grim face showed a slight hint of shock. “You hate me?”
