Shane pressed Yvonne's wound lightly. "What do you regret?"
"Of course for not listening to your advice on leaving Henry. I didn't take your words seriously at that time, but now that I think of it, I really do regret it," Yvonne choked while burying her head into the pillow.
Shane's eyes were filled with distress. "So are you gonna leave him now?"
Yvonne's body trembled while she cried. "Yes, I want t o leave him. I don’t know how I should face him in the future. There’s no way I can forgive him. I still don't understand why he can be so soft-hearted towards Jacqueline, but so hard on me and our child. Is it just because we can't get his love?"
Shane wanted to comfort her, but he didn’t know how t o. He could only persuade her not to cry, "Don't cry anymore. It’s not good for your recovery when you keep crying." 1
Yvonne sniffed. "I don't want to cry, but I can't help it whenever I think of my poor child. Tell me. What if I listened to you at that time? Would I have been able to keep my child then?"
"This.Jt's hard to tell," Shane replied thoughtfully.
This incident was all done by the Conrad family and not Henry.
Henry was only taking the blame for both Mr. Conrad and Jacqueline, but Yvonne didn’t know about this. She thought Henry was the one who did this. 1
So even if she listened to Shane's advice and left Henry, the Conrads would not let her go. They’d still kidnap her and force the bone marrow out of her.
After hearing what Shane said, Yvonne was startled and quickly reacted with a sad smile, "That’s right. We can’t tell for sure. Since Henry cares for Jacqueline so much, he will still find me even if I leave and ask to donate my bone marrow to her. I am really delusional."
"Actually, Henry didn't cause this incident..." Shane hesitated, but he decided to tell Yvonne the truth.
However, Yvonne couldn't hear what Shane had to say. She covered her ears and sneered, "Who else could it be if it's not him? That was his voice. He did it with a man called "Boss." I'm his wife and I was carrying his baby. How could he be so cruel?"
What she minded the most was that Henry once called the child a devil's spawn.
It was ironic that the child in her belly was a devil's spawn to him.
Since he didn't want this child in the first place, why did he promise to give a child to her? She really hated how Henry gave her hope and crushed it afterward.
Yvonne held her handkerchief tightly with her eyes full of self-deprecation when she thought of this."
Initially, I thought that it was fine even if I couldn’t make him love me. As long as I stayed by his side, he would eventually notice my presence. But I realized that I was wrong. Some people are cold-hearted by nature. His heart is made of stone and he can never feel the warmth.”
What was funny was that she only understood the simple principle now.
It showed how naive and stupid she was.
Shane was a little confused seeing Yvonne's look." What do you plan to do next? You said that you want t o leave Henry. Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind. Both of us are from two completely different worlds and I shouldn't have come into his world. I was too stupid and kept convincing myself that I could stand by his side as long as I worked hard to be a fine lady. Now I know how outrageous I was," Yvonne said with a sorrowful smile. Once again, the tears slid down the corner of her eyes.
Shane didn't put much thought into Yvonne's words. H e pulled out a tissue and wiped her tears away. "No, you're not wrong. Everyone has their right to choose their happiness. For you, Henry is your happiness and this is why you chose him, but that's not your fault.”
"But it seems like it’s my fault now. I overestimated myself and I shouldn't have dreamed about things that do not belong to me at all. However, I'm wide awake now. I will leave Henry and go back to where I belong. From now on, he has nothing to do with me anymore," Yvonne said firmly.
Shane was shocked by her determination.
He saw how much Yvonne cared about Henry in the past two months.
He was even envious at how Henry was getting wholehearted love from a woman.
And now she decided to leave Henry. It seemed that Henry really hurt her a lot this time.
