Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 182 Not Going to the Hospital

"I know. Let me handle this," Henry said weakly.

The master stared at him. "Can you handle this? Are you able to do so given how you feel for that woman from the Conrads?"

Henry's eyes fluttered slightly. "Yes, I might be unable t o do so because of Jackie, but I won’t disappoint you."

After the master heard that, he touched his mustache and fell into his thoughts for a few seconds. "Fine, I'll let you handle this. If I'm dissatisfied with how you deal with that, I'll take over from you. Don't you regret i t then. Henry, I want you to remember this. Don't think that you can trifle with me since I’m rather old now."

"I know, Grandpa." Henry lowered his eyes and responded in a soft voice.

“Frederick!” The master shouted toward the study.

Frederick opened the door and walked in. The first thing he smelled was the strong scent of blood.

He held his breath slightly and looked toward Henry. A t that moment, he drew in a cold breath.

The master seemed to be too harsh and vigorous.

The young master was hurt terribly.

But the young master seemed like quite a strong man. He did not faint given how serious his wounds were. H e was indeed one of the Lancasters.

As Frederick was filled with such thoughts, he heard the master’s voice again. "Frederick!"

Frederick recovered his wits. "Master."

"Send him home." The master pointed at Henry who had almost lost his consciousness.

Frederick nodded. "Alright. But can we ask the doctor t o treat him first before I send him home?"

"There’s no need for that. I want to give him a hard lesson. If he can't take it, we’ll ask the doctor to come then." The master held up his cup calmly and took a sip of tea.

Frederick did not dare to say anything more. He walked toward Henry. "Young master, let me help you."

Henry lifted his eyelids. "Thank you, Frede..."

Before he could finish talking, his facial expression changed drastically. His tall and lean body fell forward, making a bang on the floor. Then, he lost consciousness.

That sudden change frightened both the master and Frederick.

The master did not bother to take his walking stick. H e put down the cup and rushed toward Henry. "Henry? Henry?"

Frederick had some medical knowledge. He swiftly went to check on Henry.

The master stood beside them, looking at them. He asked nervously, "How is he?"

Frederick breathed a sigh of relief. "Master, you don’t have to worry. He's just fainted."

"Is that so?" The master was still slightly anxious.

Frederick made sure of that and nodded. "Yes, he's just fainted. He’s seriously injured, but he managed to support himself up until now. It's not easy."

"Good.” The master was relieved at last. He returned to his seat with staggering steps. "Frederick, was I too harsh on him?"

Frederick looked at Henry, but he did not dare to tell a lie. "Yes, you were quite harsh. Master, you did beat him up vigorously. But I feel that what you did is right given the kind of things the young master has done."

"That's true. I just don't get it. Why is my grandson such a fool in love? I pity Yvonne and my greatgrandchild..." The master lowered his head and wiped away the tears in his eyes.

Frederick sighed sadly. "Yes. To be frank, the most innocent ones in this entire affair are the young mistress and the child in her belly. However, we've lost the child."

"We have wronged Yvonne." The master closed his eyes in pain. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed cold and aloof. "Get a doctor to tend to his wound. Make sure that he's able to survive. You don't have to send him to the hospital. I want him to endure the excruciating pain!”

"Alright," Frederick answered. Then, he helped Henry u p and left.

An hour later, Frederick sent Henry back to the villa.

Sue was scared out of her wits when she saw Henry's pathetic state. "Oh my God! What happened to him?"

"He was beaten up by the master." Frederick smiled and gave an explanation.

"Is that so?" Sue was stunned. Soon, she seemed to remember something. She asked tentatively," Frederick, was it because of what happened to madam?"

Frederick nodded slightly. "Yes. The master is wrathful."

"The master did a good thing." Sue soon changed her stance, turning to support the master.

Frederick twitched his lips slightly. "That’s enough. Get him to his bedroom immediately. Ask the young mistress to help change his clothes."

"Aren't you sending him to the hospital?" Sue was slightly puzzled.

"No. The master said we don't have to send him to the hospital as long as he’s alive. Let his wounds around his back heal slowly," Frederick replied.

All of a sudden, Sue started to take pity on Henry."

Alright. Let me help him up to his room."

"Go ahead. I need to head back now." Frederick smiled and left the villa.

Seeing him off, Sue then helped Henry up the stairs.

Yvonne was squatting down in the bedroom, packing u p her luggage. Suddenly, she heard a knock. She became nervous, so she closed her luggage in a rush and shouted at the door. "Who’s that?”

'Is it Henry?'

"Madam, it's me. Please open the door." Yvonne heard Sue's voice.

Yvonne then breathed a sigh of relief. "Coming."

She got up and dragged the luggage to the closet. Then, she went and opened the door. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Sue...” Before she could finish talking, she smelled a strong scent of blood and medicine.

She frowned and looked at Henry who was being supported by Sue at the moment. She was puzzled. After she took a closer look at him, her heart skipped a beat. Her voice was slightly shaky too. "What happened to him? Why is he seriously injured?"

"He was beaten up by the master. Let's not talk about i t first. Madam, please help me move him into the room,” Sue said in exhaustion, and she was out of breath.

"Fine.” Yvonne nodded and moved to the other side of

Henry and helped Sue move him into the room.

After they entered the room, they worked together to tuck Henry in bed.

"It's done, madam. Sir cannot lie down for the time being, and he can only lay on his stomach like this. Please take good care of him.” Sue wiped the sweat on her forehead and advised Yvonne.

Yvonne looked at Henry with a complicated facial expression and responded, "Fine. But is he alright, being left like this? Don't we need to send him to the hospital?"

Henry was still the man she loved. She was quite worried to see him like that.

"No," Sue smiled. "The master said just let him be. We just need to apply medicine on his wound every day."

"But..." Yvonne was still slightly worried.

Sue patted her shoulders. "Madam, believe in the master since sir is his grandson. Certainly, he won't trifle with sir's health. Please rest assured."

"Okay." Yvonne forced a smile.

Sue shrugged her shoulders. "Madam, I’ll leave sir with you then. Please help change his clothes later. I'll go downstairs now."

"Fine." Yvonne nodded.

The minute Sue left, Yvonne closed the door softly. She then sighed inevitably.

She could almost guess the reason why the master beat Henry up.

She remembered what Frederick said to her before she left the family residence, claiming that the master would give Henry a lesson.

So the reason Henry was beaten up like that was because of her. She was touched by what the master did, but she was still grieved to see Henry being tortured like that.

Yvonne stood by the bed and looked at Henry for a short while. She then went to the closet and took out his clothes. She took off his clothes carefully. At that moment, she drew in a cold breath.

His back was bandaged entirely, and the gauze was stained with fresh blood.

Although she could not see his wound which was hidden by the gauze, she still noticed how serious his wounds were.

"Grandpa was quite harsh on him. What did he use to beat him up exactly?" Yvonne covered her mouth, and she whispered with a shaky voice.
