"Why?” Yvonne sobbed.
Henry gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Yvonne raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes. "Why didn't you tell me that I can't conceive?"
She heard Henry mention her in a phone call when she woke up with a sudden urge to go to the toilet.
Perhaps throughout her entire life, she wouldn't know that she had health issues and it wouldn’t be easy for her to get pregnant.
Henry swallowed hard and told her, "It's not that you can’t get pregnant, but the chance is very slim. I didn't want to tell you because I'm worried that you can't accept it."
"Can't accept it?” Yvonne cried and smiled disdainfully when she heard what Henry said. "Then will I be able to accept it when you hide it from me?"
Henry looked down. "Sometimes, knowing less isn't a bad thing."
"I don't want to hear this!" Yvonne covered her ears emotionally. "All I know is that you lied to me, you all lied to me. Since I can’t get pregnant, why did you promise me another child? Are you trying to make a fool out of me?” "I just said it." Henry took her hands off from her ears.
"It's not that you can't get pregnant. The chance is small, but there's always a miracle.”
"But will the miracle happen?" Yvonne smiled bitterly.
Henry took her into his arms. "Yes, believe in yourself and a miracle will happen. We’re still young, right?"
Yvonne closed her eyes. "We're young, but not Grandpa."
She not only wanted to have another child for herself, but also for the old man who treated her like his granddaughter.
She always knew that the old man had wanted to have a great-grandson.
Now that the old man was getting older, there were only a few years left. She really wanted to make his dream come true.
"You don't have to worry about Grandpa. As for the child, just let it happen naturally. Once your body recovers, we’ll have a child.” Henry touched her belly t o comfort her.
Yvonne shook her head. "Who knows when that will b e. I’m really..."
She covered her face and started crying again.
Henry was a little tired and didn't know what else to say for her to calm down.
"Alright. Don't think too much. Just rest for now.” Henry let go of her and took her hand instead.
Before he could touch her, she took a sudden step back and avoided him. "Henry, let's divorce!"
Henry narrowed his eyes dangerously. "What did you say?"
Yvonne closed her eyes and repeated, "Let's divorce.”
"Give me a reason!" Henry gritted his teeth while saying it word by word. He couldn't hold back his anger and the surrounding was tense again.
This woman seemed fine earlier, but all of a sudden, she brought up the divorce again.
What was she thinking?
Yvonne bit her lower lip tightly. "Because I can't conceive anymore. Grandpa wants a great-grandson, the Lancaster family needs an heir, and I may not be able to do it, so..."
"That's enough!” Henry interrupted her with a sullen face and low growl, not allowing her to continue," Yvonne Frey, am I, Henry Lancaster, a filthy man in your eyes? Dud I marry you just for a child?"
Yvonne lowered her head and said nothing.
Henry clenched his fists. "If this is what you think, then why did I have to marry you? Women who can conceive are everywhere, I can simply marry one."
Yvonne lowered her head when she heard this.
Seeing her in this way, Henry suddenly softened his voice even though he was angry earlier.
He rubbed his temples and suppressed his anger." Grandpa knows about this as well, but he didn't say anything about it. Do you still not understand? Indeed Grandpa wants a great-grandson badly, but he still didn't want me to divorce you. This means that he truly approves of you and it’s not because of your belly."
"Grandpa..." Yvonne's eyes widened in disbelief.
Henry stretched out his hand and flickered her forehead. “You don't need to look down upon yourself. You’re a human, not a tool for giving birth. If you can't give birth now, then let your body recover properly. W e can always have a child in the future. Let's go."
He took her hand.
Yvonne stared at him blankly. "Where to?"
"Don't you want a child? Treatment is one, but on the other hand, it requires our efforts too. So let's continue," Henry answered her.
Yvonne’s face turned red instantly. "You...you want to H
