After Yvonne heard that from Henry, she averted her gaze and recovered herself. "Nothing. I'm done applying the medicine for you now. Rest well."
She tidied up the medical kit quickly, got up, and prepared to leave.
Henry grabbed her hand. "Wait."
"Is there something else?" Yvonne retracted her hand.
Henry's eyes became slightly dull when he saw how she hated his touch. His tone became quite cold. "I want to tell you that the Conrads have emigrated."
"So?" Yvonne looked at him coldly.
Henry pursed his thin lips. "Things like that will never happen again from now on."
"What's the use of telling me about it now? It happened. So what if they leave? The damage is done, and my hatred toward them will not disappear even if they go abroad. Mr. Lancaster, I hope you understand that." After that, Yvonne did not linger there for long. She strode away.
When she went downstairs, Sue handed her a glass of milk. "Madam, why did you bring the medical kit downstairs?"
Yvonne only realized now that she was holding something in her hand. She patted her forehead in
annoyance. "I forgot to put it down."
"It's fine, just take it upstairs later. Madam, please drink the milk first.” Sue took the medical kit from her and put it aside softly.
Yvonne listened to her and held the glass of milk in her hand. She then sat down and drank it slowly.
After that, she put down the glass and fished out her phone from her pocket. She found the master's contact number and gave him a call. "Grandpa."
"Have you decided about it? Is it today?" the master asked her.
Yvonne nodded. "Yes."
"Fine. I actually planned to persuade you against it," the master sighed.
Yvonne lowered her eyes. "I’m sorry, Grandpa."
"Yvonne, what is there to be sorry about? Just like I said, we’re the ones who wronged you. When do you plan to leave?” the master asked her again.
"I’ll leave in the afternoon."
"Alright. I'll ask Frederick to go and meet you as we have something to tell you about," said the master.
Yvonne was slightly curious. "Grandpa, what is it?"
The master chuckled. "You’ll know about it later.”
"Fine," said Yvonne in disappointment.
After that, she chatted with the master for a short while before hanging up the phone.
Sue served her a fruit tray. "Madam, was that the old master?"
"Yes." Yvonne put away the phone and made a reply.
"Is he coming over later?”
Yvonne ate the fruit and replied casually, "No, but Frederick is, saying that he has something to tell me."
Sue nodded. "I see. Then I'll go and clean the tea set so that I can brew tea for him later on."
"Alright." Yvonne smiled faintly.
After Sue left, Yvonne sat on the sofa alone, eating the fruit and thinking about stuff.
Half an hour passed. She thought that it was the right time. So she put down the fork and got up to go upstairs.
