Sue scratched her head and said, "I'm afraid that when sir recovers his wits later, he might be able to guess that I have your contact number. Then he’ll ask me about it."
Hearing that question, Yvonne became quiet for a short while. She then answered, "If that's the case, just tell him. Don’t let him make it difficult for you."
"Fine. I'll hang up now. Please do take care, madam.”
"Fine. Sue, you need to take care too."
After Yvonne hung up the phone, she switched off the phone directly. She then looked out the window quietly in a daze.
Actually, she was indeed quite surprised to see Henry asking the others to look for her. At the same time, she was slightly happy too.
Did it mean that he still cared a tiny bit for her? Otherwise, why would he look for her?
However, that thought remained with Yvonne for only a few seconds before she denied it herself.
How was it possible for Henry to care about her? If he did care about her, the Conrads would never be so bold to do such a thing to her and her baby. The Conrads were so bold just because he neither loved nor cared for her.
But she did not understand the reason why Henry asked the others to look for her. Had she not done a good thing by leaving? Now he was free to marry the woman he loved. Why would he look for her?
Did he think that it was quite humiliating for him given that she left behind a divorce agreement and left directly without his knowledge? So he wanted to look for her so that he could take revenge on her.
Thinking about that, Yvonne smiled bitterly. She then closed her eyes and leaned against the window of the car. Her body swayed with the car. Slowly, she fell asleep.
"Miss? Miss?"
Yvonne was shaken into consciousness. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the middle-aged man before her. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Is something wrong?"
"Miss, we've reached the destination. The others have gotten off the bus. You should leave immediately too," replied the driver.
"Did we?" Yvonne was shocked. She soon turned and looked out.
It was true indeed. The familiar old station stood before her. It seemed to signify that it was indeed the place she wanted to go to.
Yvonne finally recovered her senses. She thanked the driver, took her luggage, and got off the bus
immediately.
After she got off the bus, she was in no haste to leave the station. She stood there and took a look around.
The station was just like how she remembered it. It did not change at all after so many years. It just appeared quite old and worn-out.
The old appearance of that station made her remember some memories from her childhood. She could not help but feel a tinge of sadness. She sniffed her nose, and her eyes became teary too.
Ten years had passed since. Finally, she got to return t o her hometown which she missed the most.
She thought that she might not have a chance to return there.
Surprisingly, she returned to her hometown after her divorce.
She mocked herself. Then, she grabbed her luggage and left the station. She bought some daily necessities and candles at a convenience store near the station. After that, she hailed a taxi to go to the village.
The village was the same as the station. It did not change much. Yvonne got out of the taxi, took a few glances around, and went straight to the chief’s home.
"Chief Frey, are you home?" She stood in front of a small house and shouted.
The chief and his family were eating their meal. When he heard the sound, he soon put down his fork and
spoon and went to open the door.
"Who are you?” The chief looked at Yvonne suspiciously. He felt that she looked slightly familiar t o him.
Yvonne looked at the man who seemed much older than the one in her memory. She felt sad. "Chief Frey, it's me, Yvonne."
"Yvonne?" The chief said her name once. Then, he widened his eyes. "Are you Yvonne the little girl?"
"Yes, it's me." Yvonne smiled and nodded.
The chief opened the door immediately. "Come in, quick."
"Alright." Yvonne acted accordingly, carrying her luggage and bags as she entered the house.
They entered the living room, and the chief poured a glass of water for her. "Yvonne, why did you come back here? Did your parents come with you?"
