Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 182

"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?"
