Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 170 Discharge and Resign

Sue thought that Yvonne couldn't hear what she said clearly, so she repeated herself. Sue told her that someone had impersonated Henry’s voice.

Yvonne trembled. "Are you saying that these are all done by Jacqueline and her father?"

"Yes, madam." Sue nodded in certainty.

Yvonne’s face filled with hatred. "Is this true?"

She looked at Henry.

Henry knew that it'd be pointless for him to keep this secret any longer. He could only admit it while pressing his thin lips.

Shocked by this revelation, Yvonne shuddered and got even angrier. "Why? Why did you say that you're the one who did it?"

"What else can it be? He's hiding the truth for the Conrad family," Sue replied abruptly.

"Hiding the truth?" Yvonne bit her lower lip, feeling extremely upset. "So you willingly take the blame for them?"

"Sorry..." Henry looked down without saying more.

By apologizing at this point, he was undoubtedly acknowledging her words.

Yvonne stared at him angrily. "Henry Lancaster, do you know what exactly you're doing? I'm your wife and I was carrying your child in my stomach. How can you still defend them when we are being treated this way? Are you inhumane?” 1

Henry's face went pale and he was speechless.

Yvonne burst into tears. "I really do regret falling in love with a man like you. Elliot is right. This will be the consequence of loving you. I should have left you i n the beginning!"

"Elliot?" Henry’s eyes sank. "What did he say to you?"

Yvonne didn’t answer him, but she stared coldly at him and asked, "Henry, the Conrad family forcefully took my bone marrow out and killed my child. Are you sure that you want to take the blame for them?"

Henry clenched his fists. "I promised them."

"So you must do this, right? Let me ask you then. While you're protecting them, have you retaliated against them?" Yvonne asked.

Henry pursed his lips, "No."

"No?" Yvonne gritted her teeth, "You didn't? How can you not retaliate against them when it is your child we're talking about? How can you be so unfair just because one of them is the woman you love and the other is the father of the woman you love?"

The Conrad family kidnapped her to forcibly take her bone marrow out and killed her child. Everything they did was illegal and they could file a police report for

that.

She could understand that Henry was not making the police report because he wanted to protect them.

But she could never accept that Henry hadn't thought of getting any revenge against the Conrad family. He knew that the Conrad family was the one who killed her child. Their child. And yet, he refused to take revenge for his child!

"I'm not being unfair, I'm just..."

"Stop it!" Yvonne yelled and interrupted Henry while covering her ears. Then, she said fiercely, "I don't want to listen to you anymore. All I know is that you did nothing when my child and I were in trouble. You just keep protecting them. And for this, I can’t forgive you, Henry Lancaster. What you’re doing now is even worse than telling me that you're the one who's behind everything." 1

Henry opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he couldn't say it.

Yvonne pointed to the door. "Leave, please leave. I don't want to see you now and I don't want to see you anymore. Just give a thought about our divorce!"

"Divorce?" Sue, who hadn't spoken all this while, couldn't help but shriek in surprise.

Neither Yvonne nor Henry paid attention to her.

Henry deeply looked at Yvonne for a few seconds. " Okay, I will leave now. Please rest well. As for our

divorce, I will never consider that."

After speaking, he turned his back and left.

Sue panicked when she looked at his back and Yvonne’s firm expression. Sue didn't understand how things could end up this way.

Divorce?

Why did they mention divorce?

“Madam, is it the divorce that you wanted to talk to sir about?” Sue asked again.

Yvonne fell back on the bed and she stared blankly at the ceiling. 1

"I can’t live with him anymore. I couldn't forgive him and I wanted a divorce because I thought he was the one who did these things to me. Then, I found out that it wasn't him. But I can never forgive him now knowing that he’s still protecting the enemies without thinking about getting revenge for my child and me."

"Well..." Sue didn't know what else to say.

She could totally understand how madam felt, which explained why she had nothing to say.

'But there was no need for the divorce, right? 1 © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

‘Anyhow, sir was really unfair. Even if he didn’t report the Conrad family to the police, he should have taught them a lesson and let them know what they shouldn’t do. Sadly, he didn't do this. Does sir really love Jacqueline so much that he didn't care about his child?' "Sue, you should get out. I’m tired and I want to sleep for a while." Yvonne closed her eyes and a tear fell from the corner of her eyes onto the white pillow. Then, she was quickly asleep.

"Alright. Get some sleep, madam. I'll be guarding outside." Sue tucked Yvonne with the quilt and walked out.

Yvonne forcefully turned her body over and buried her face in the quilt. Soon enough, she fell asleep.

It was already night when she woke up.

Shane came to check on Yvonne. He was shocked when he saw her red swollen eyes. "Did you cry?"

"I couldn't help but cry after learning the truth. This is embarrassing.” Yvonne twitched the corner of her mouth, trying to laugh, but she couldn't.

Shane frowned, "The truth? What truth?”

"It's sir!” Sue interjected and told him what had happened.

Shane was a little surprised after hearing it. "So you knew?"

"Yeah.” Yvonne nodded.

Light reflected off Shane's glasses. "So what are you planning to do?" "I told him that I want a divorce."

"So soon? Did Henry agree?” Shane was really surprised.

Yvonne licked her dry lips, "No, but this time I've decided that I have to get that divorce even if he doesn't agree."

She could never forgive such a person.

She couldn’t even understand what was on Henry's mind. Was the love so important that he could ignore his child's life?

"I got it. Then, I wish you a successful divorce," Shane smiled.

Yvonne nodded. "Thank you."

Sue was anxious listening to their conversation. "Dr. Shane, how can you say that? You wish our madam to have a successful divorce?"

"Yeah. Have you ever seen her happy ever since she’s with Henry? Now that she’s in trouble, leaving Henry will be the best decision. After all, no one can guarantee that this kind of situation will not happen again." Shane replied to Sue while changing the dressing for Yvonne's wound.

Although Sue felt a little absurd after hearing that, she had to admit that it made sense. She could only say bluntly, "Divorce isn't that easy and sir might not agree to it." "Grandpa will agree," Yvonne said confidently.

Sue was slightly taken aback. "Why?"

Yvonne smiled without answering.

Sue stayed quiet and went out to buy some food.

Soon, a few days passed by.

Yvonne could finally be discharged with Shane's permission. But she still had to rest at home even after the discharge, so she couldn't move around for a short period of time.

"Madam, let’s go back," Sue said to Yvonne while putting the luggage in the trunk.

Yvonne shook her head. "Don't go back now. Let's go t o the office first."

"Why are you going to the office?" Sue was puzzled.
