Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 203 This Is Not Your Room

Yvonne felt uneasy. "What did Chief Frey say?”

"He asked me to take care of you since you are in bad health, hence I cannot leave now!" said Henry as he sat down.

Yvonne stared at him and mocked, "And who was the one who caused this mess?"

Henry was startled as he heard this and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, it won’t happen again..."

"Will there be a next time for us?" said Yvonne as she looked at him with a sad expression. "Do you know how bad my health is currently? I fall sick even when the slightest wind blows, or feel cold throughout my entire body at best. No matter how I try to sleep at night, I can’t seem to feel warm enough. To be honest, I don’t even know how long I have left to live!"

The more Henry heard, the more his heart ached.

He never expected that she would be in such bad health.

"Madam, is this true?" Sue held Yvonne's cold hands and felt even sadder for her. "Sir, madam's hands are very cold. Here, feel them."

She held Yvonne’s hands in front of Henry.

But Yvonne did not want to be touched by him, so she immediately retracted her hands.

Henry's pupils contracted as he saw her pulling back.

Did she despise him so much that she wouldn't even let him touch her now?

"You must come back with me Yvonne!" said Henry firmly while suppressing the discomfort he had in him.

Yvonne took a deep breath and said, "I've told you very clearly Mr. Lancaster, I want a divorce! So what's the point in me following you now? To be treated coldly again? Or to have my bone marrow be given to Jacqueline again?"

Henry felt even more uncomfortable as he heard Yvonne's statement, but most of the discomfort was him feeling sorry for what he had done to Yvonne.

"I swear, it won’t ever happen again," promised Henry.

However, Yvonne shook her head and laughed, "Truly, I don't believe you!"

"What do I have to do for you to believe me then?" Henry raised an eyebrow.

Yvonne looked down on the floor. "I won't believe you no matter what you do, unless you make Dominic Conrad gets what he deserves. Can you do that?"

Henry fell silent.

Yvonne mockingly laughed again and said, "You see? You can't do it, so stop giving me empty promises. You aren't able to give me the security that I need, so

what's the point in me going back with you?" "I'm very sure that you won’t be able to receive the treatment you need to recover here, so follow me back and I'll see to it that you're well treated," said Henry as he pointed at the house.

Yvonne stubbornly turned her neck. "Even so, it's none of your business.”

"What do you mean by it’s none of my business? You said it yourself - I was the one who caused you to be like this, so could you let me take responsibility for it?"

"I don’t need your sympathy!" Yvonne held onto her cell phone tightly and continued with a croaky voice," I will treat this as a lesson for myself. All this happened because I couldn’t see the truth and placed my life in the wrong hands."

"What do you mean?” Henry subconsciously took a step back.

Yvonne coldly laughed, "Don't you get it? I always knew that you didn’t love me and we lived in two different worlds, yet I still feigned ignorance and continued to love you hoping that I could win your heart someday. I can only blame myself for not knowing my place and being ignorant."

"Madam." Sue couldn’t take it anymore. "How could you say this about yourself?"

"Am I wrong though, Sue?" said Yvonne as she pointed at the pale faced Henry, "I've not said anything wrong. This happened all because I had idealized my situation too much. Knowing that we lived in two very different worlds, I still insisted to try and enter his, hence I landed in this mess. This is all my own fault!"

"No madam! You’re not wrong, truly you aren't!” Sue shook her head.

Yvonne looked at the ceiling to hold back her tears." Everyone said that it was wrong for me to marry him. I slowly started to accept this to be true, and even Mr. Lancaster thought so too right?"

Henry's lips slightly twitched instead of replying.

It was as she said - he did think like that once upon a time.

Not only that, but he always thought that she was in it for his money for the past three years.

"I'm sorry for venting my anger at you all this time. I swear it won't happen again." Henry was genuinely sincere when he apologized.

Yvonne caressed her belly and wryly laughed as she said, "It’s too late. I haven’t told you about it before, have I?"

"What about?”

"Previously when I saw how well you treated Jacqueline, the love and care you gave her, I was very jealous and envious, yet I decided not to say anything about it. This is because I know no matter what I do, your heart wouldn't be mine, so I had already accepted my fate at that moment."

Yvonne closed her eyes as she continued, "I thought that as long as you had not divorced me, I would still b e your wife. When I had your child, I would continue to care for the child instead of hoping to win your heart. But I never thought that such a small wish of mine couldn't be granted.”

"Madam...” Sue looked at Yvonne sympathetically.

Yvonne forced a smile to let Sue know she was alright. "I was half disappointed when I lost our child, but I truly gave up all hope when I found out that you had a part in this. I couldn't understand. Did you love Jacqueline so much that you would throw away your rationality and humanity by abandoning your own flesh and blood?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re wrong, I do care.” Henry clenched his fist and continued, "Have you thought of what would happen t o Jacqueline if I had not done it?”

"No I haven't. The thought never crossed my mind!" said Yvonne, her eyes grew red as he looked at him." Why should I think about what would’ve happened to her? All I care about is my child and Jacqueline's father forcibly took him away. Shouldn’t her father be paying the price for that?"

Henry couldn't reply and stayed silent.

He knew Dominic Conrad should pay the price.

He wanted him to be sent to prison as well.

But the moment he did that, Jackie would immediately do something unthinkable.

Yvonne was deeply disappointed once more when she saw Henry silently standing there.

She shut her eyes and said, "I must be going mad for thinking there was still hope with you. How foolish of me!" 1

Henry’s pupils contracted after Yvonne spoke and felt nervous.

Although she had said that she was disappointed in him before, it didn't impact him as much as it did at that moment.

Sue noticed that things had taken a turn for the worst. She looked at Yvonne first before turning to Henry who was now stiff and took a deep breath before saying, "Sir, madam, I would suggest that the both of you stop for now. Where is the kitchen, madam?" 1

Yvonne went with the flow and took a step back instead of continuing the topic with Henry.

She had wanted to stop a long time ago before the conversation took the wrong turn as it only made her relive the painful memories of her lost child.

"Over there,” said Yvonne as she pointed in a direction.

Sue looked at the direction she was pointing and said, "Alright, could you kindly accompany madam to her room while I whip up a meal for the both of you?

Madam is still unwell and shouldn't stand for too long."

Henry's expression changed and nodded when he recalled that Yvonne was unwell. "Alright."

"Then I shall leave madam in your care." Sue smiled and carried a large bag into the kitchen.

Only the couple was left in the living area.

Yvonne looked at him and said, "Let's go, I'll take you t o your room."

Henry nodded before he carried his luggage and followed behind her.

Yvonne showed him to a room next to her own which was natural as she wouldn’t take him to her room.

"Here you are. You can make your own bed." After Yvonne finished talking, she turned around, ready to walk away.

Henry grabbed her arm and said, "This isn't your room?"
