"You’ll know what it is after you open it up."
Hearing that, Henry opened the folder directly without any hesitation. He took out the things inside, only to realize that it was a check with a large amount of money and two transfer memoranda of house properties.
"Where did you get these?" Henry lifted the folder and asked her.
Yvonne took a sip of water and replied, "Grandpa gave it to me. When I asked for his permission on our divorce before, he gave me these, saying that they're m y alimony for the divorce. But we didn't divorce each other. Certainly, I need to return it to you and Grandpa."
At first, she planned to return it to him on the day she returned to the city, but she had forgotten about it.
After that, she found the document folder and put it o n the coffee table, meaning to give it to him the next time she met him.
Once when she drank a glass of water there, and she accidentally knocked it over on the coffee table. So she put the folder in the partition underneath the coffee table for fear that she might dampen the documents. Surprisingly, she had forgotten all of that until then. If she did not see it now, she might never remember it. Her memory was indeed not as good as before.
"Why do you want to return it to me?" Henry put the check and memoranda back into the folder. He then handed it to Yvonne. "Since Grandpa gave it to you, you should keep it with you."
"But..."
"No more buts. Take it." Henry did not allow her to resist him.
Henry was just too stubborn. So she had no choice but to take it and put it under the coffee table again.
"Madam, it's time for dinner." At that moment, Sue wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen.
Seeing Henry there, she was stunned for a short while. She then smiled and said, "Sir, you’re awake." 1
"Yes." Henry nodded.
"No wonder madam took the bowl of vegetable soup just now. That's good. I was meaning to ask madam to wake you up for dinner. It seems like I don’t have to do that now. Quickly wash your hands and get ready for dinner.” Sue greeted them.
Henry got up. "Let's go and have dinner.”
"Fine,” Yvonne responded and followed behind him into the dining room.
The dinner was quite grand, and Yvonne rather enjoyed it.
But Henry felt slightly uncomfortable, so he did not eat much.
At last, there was a lot of leftover on the dining table.
Seeing that, Yvonne was saddened. "Don't drink so much alcohol next time around. If you want, you can always drink red wine since it's not so strong. Besides, the wounds on your back have not fully recovered. Aren’t you afraid that you might get inflammation?"
"Are you worried about me?" Henry looked at her.
Yvonne averted her gaze. "Since you said so."
Henry chuckled in a low voice. "Don’t worry. I'm fine. They've formed scabs."
"You've not fully recovered yet even if they've formed scabs. You need to be more careful." As she said so, she rolled her eyes at him before getting up to return t o the bedroom.
Henry walked into the bedroom with her. She squatted down before the bedside cabinet. Seeing her like that, he could not help but ask her, "What are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your medical record. I want to see when your follow-up visit to the hospital is." As she was looking for it, she answered him.
Soon, she found a small green book. She said happily," Yes, I got it." "Do you have to be so happy after you found it?" Henry smirked slightly.
Yvonne did not bother about him. She opened the book and checked the date for a follow-up visit.
After she found it, she pointed to the book and said to Henry seriously, "See? It's tomorrow. You need to go to the hospital tomorrow.”
"I need to go to work tomorrow," said Henry.
Hearing that, Yvonne hesitated for a short while." Then you can go in the afternoon since Dr. Summers will do the checkup for you. He'll still be there even if you go in the afternoon."
Henry sneered. "Of course he will be there. He almost treats the hospital like his home now."
"It means that he's responsible,” said Yvonne subconsciously.
Henry's facial expression soon worsened. "That’s enough. Don't talk about him. Help me apply the medicine."
