Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 194

Henry did not understand why, but he became very upset and gloomy.

He walked toward the wine cabinet and took a bottle o f Louis XIII which had high alcohol content. He opened it and poured a glass full for himself.

He leaned back and drank the entire glass directly. He drank it fast until he choked accidentally. His slightly sickened face became flushed.

He soon recovered and then continued drowning himself in the alcohol.

Less than half an hour later, he finished a bottle of wine which cost thousands of dollars.

Its alcohol content was beyond any of those other branded wines. Even if Henry was good at drinking, h e could not take that.

Besides, he was injured. After drinking so much wine, he felt like his body was burning like fire. The wounds around his back had not even formed scabs, and they were now lacerated. He was filled with so much pain that he fainted directly. Sue discovered him when she went up to deliver his food.

Sue was scared out of her wits. She immediately called for the ambulance.

Standing outside of the emergency room, Sue became quite flustered and worried. She waited for a while before she took out her phone and called Yvonne with trembling fingers. "Madam, something's wrong!"

At that moment, Yvonne was paying respects to her late grandparents. She heard the anxiety in Sue's voice. She became nervous too. "What’s wrong, Sue?”

"Something bad happened. Sir has fainted." Sue almost burst into tears because of her anxiety.

Yvonne widened her eyes and stood up. "What? Did he faint?”

"Yes. He’s currently in the emergency room..."

"Sue, why did he faint?" Yvonne asked anxiously, and her voice became slightly shaky too.

Sue took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down. "I don’t know about it either. After I finished cooking the food, I went upstairs to call after him. But he made no response. So I opened the door and went into the room. Soon I smelled the strong scent of alcohol, and sir was lying on the floor. He was even holding a wine glass in his hand at that moment.”

"Was he drinking wine?" Yvonne was shocked and angry at the same time. "How could he have a drink? He's seriously injured. Did he want to kill himself?"

"I don’t know why he did that either. I..."

"Fine, Sue. I don't blame you. I'm just angry at him. How could not care about his health?" Yvonne stamped her feet, and her eyes became bloodshot

because of her anger.

Sue sighed. "I thought so too. But you do know about his temper. If he ever wants to do anything, who can stop him?”

Yvonne became quiet. After a short while, she bit her lips and asked, "Sue, did you tell Grandpa about it?”

"How could I be so bold as to inform him about this? The master will surely be deeply angry if he learns about this."

"That’s true. Sue, please keep a close eye on him. Once he’s out of the emergency room, do tell me about it immediately." Yvonne made a request.

Sue nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, madam. I will.”

"Alright, thank you." Yvonne forced a smile and hung u p the phone.

Hearing about the news that Henry had fainted all of a sudden, her heart skipped a beat. At the same time, she had an impulsive urge. She wanted so badly to rush over there and meet him.

Luckily, she managed to suppress it.

However, she did not understand it. Why did he go and drink wine at a time like that? She would never believe that he was unaware of it, drinking wine given his bad body condition. He definitely did it on purpose. But she never saw him do such an irrational thing before. 3

Thinking about that, Yvonne heaved a long sigh. She then put away her phone, grabbed the candles which she brought with her, and prepared to go down the hill.

When she reached the foot of the hill, she received another call from Sue before she even entered her house.

"Madam, it’s good news.” Sue was clearly overjoyed.

Yvonne became relieved soon. "Is he alright?"

"Yes, he just left the emergency room. He’s fine now. Luckily, it was found out soon enough. Otherwise, he might’ve been in great danger," said Sue angrily and helplessly.

Now Yvonne became entirely relieved. "Good to know that he's fine. Don't let him drink any more wine from now on. Sue, do take good care of him.”

"Alright," replied Sue.
