Henry's heart sank a little at the mention of Yvonne's name but said nothing.
It was Sue who was standing quietly by the side who broke the silence. "Madam has left."
"Left? Where did she go?" Shane asked hurriedly.
Henry's eyes instantly darkened when he saw how anxious Shane was acting.
"The madam...” Sue cast a cautious glance in Henry's direction, then replied softly, "The madam has left the estate and wishes to divorce sir."
"No wonder she isn't here. So are you two divorced already?" Shane was unexpectedly not at all surprised that Yvonne was going to divorce Henry.
Henry narrowed his eyes at him. "It seems that you already knew she was going to divorce me."
"Yes." Shane shrugged and smiled. "She told me that a long time ago, probably when she was taken to the hospital by you."
Anger welled up in Henry's heart when he heard that." Then why didn’t you tell me?!"
"Why should I tell you? I promised her that I'd keep this a secret for her. Besides, a divorce is the most appropriate course of action for both of you," Shane pushed his glasses up and said indifferently.
Henry clenched his fists. "Appropriate? So you want u s divorced so that you can pursue her right?"
"Pursue?" Sue covered her mouth and looked at Shane in shock. "Dr. Summers, you feel that way about madam...?"
"Aw shucks! You actually said that out loud!" Shane slapped his forehead, pretending to be vexed. "I thought I could hide it for a long time."
"So you really..."
"Hush!" Shane made a silence gesture to Sue, then gave Henry a smile.
The man had an extremely unpleasant look on his face at this very moment. Rage was boiling in his heart.
He could tell that Shane had always been interested in Yvonne even though he had never openly admitted that. Even if Henry was angry about it, he couldn't do anything to Shane.
But now, Shane had actually openly admitted it.
Was he no longer bothered by openly talking about his feelings just because Yvonne wanted to divorce him?
Henry clenched his fists tighter until the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged. "Shane, are you thinking o f pursuing Yvonne Frey?"
Shane wagged his finger. "I would like to, but I know you'd stop me if I do that."
Henry frowned. "I'd stop you?” "Yeah." Shane nodded while rubbing his chin.
Henry pressed his lips. "Why would you say that?"
Shane showed him two fingers. "Two reasons."
Henry looked at him as he waited for the doctor to further elaborate.
The expression on Shane's face gradually became serious. "The first reason is that you two haven't divorced. And the second reason... is that you have fallen in love with her."
Henry's eyes widened slightly in great shock.
He had fallen in love with Yvonne Frey?
Sue was also extremely surprised. "Sir has fallen in love with madam? H-How... is that even possible?"
"I know it’s hard for you to believe it, but that's the truth. Henry, you’ve really fallen in love with her. It’s just that you're still in denial and you don't want to admit it." Shane patted Henry's shoulder.
Henry shrugged Shane’s hand off his shoulder." Impossible. Why would I fall in love with her?" 3
"But you are indeed in love with her." Shane looked at Henry with pity in his eyes when he said that.
"No. I can fall in love with anyone except for Yvonne Frey. Besides, I only have Jackie in my heart!" Henry denied with an unpleasant look on his face. 1
He was all worked out and was speaking very loudly. A storm had conjured in his heart and it wouldn’t calm down.
