Joe lowered his head. "Yes sir, they had obviously come well-prepared, seeing how they used the bodyguard’s identity to register at the hotel. If we want to know what actually happened, we will need to wait for madam to wake up..."
His voice gradually softened until he could no longer continue on.
At that moment, the lights on the operating room dimmed.
Henry immediately stood up, his gaze focused on the operating room's door.
When the door opened, Shane appeared from inside with his mask on.
Henry asked, "How is she?"
Shane took off his mask and replied in a deep voice," Her situation is dire, she has multiple bruises all over her body, and she's even got a broken rib. She needs to be hospitalised for treatment."
Henry clenched his fist as he heard about her situation and punched the wall near him.
Shane coldly looked at Henry. "Henry, what happened to her? How did she get so heavily injured? She was just fine yesterday."
Henry pursed his lips and did not reply.
Shane grew even angrier from Henry's non-response. He grabbed onto Henry's collar and roared, "Henry Lancaster, are you able to protect her or not? If you aren't able to, you should've let her go earlier."
After hearing Shane's words, Henry turned to look at Shane, his eyes so cold it could send shivers down anyone's spine. "If I'm not able to, are you?"
Shane snorted, "At least I wouldn't cause her to be in danger over and over again."
He pushed Henry away and turned to return to the operating room.
The next time Shane came out, he had a hospital bed with him with Yvonne lying on it.
Yvonne had just come out from surgery and had bandages all over. It was heartbreaking.
Henry reached out his hand to touch her face.
However, before he could even touch her, his hand had been slapped away by Shane as he said, "She needs to rest now, I’m sending her to her ward."
After he spoke, Shane pushed Yvonne’s bed towards the ward area.
Although Henry very much wanted to substitute Shane and push Yvonne to her ward, he knew clearly that he was no doctor.
Therefore, he could only suppress his contempt for Shane and follow behind him to the ward with a dark
face.
At the ward, Shane had been chased out by Henry without remorse as soon as he had finished setting up the drips for Yvonne.
Henry sat by her bedside and gently took up the blanket and covered her in it. "Watch over Dominic Conrad for the next two days." 1
He said this to Joe who was standing behind him.
Joe thought for a while. "Mr. Lancaster, are you suspecting that it was Dominic Conrad who did this to madam?"
"It’s possible. Dominic had managed to get the opportunity to appeal in court. He might've ordered someone to do this to Yvonne since she refused to see him," said Henry coldly.
Joe adjusted his glasses. "I understand sir, but..."
"Speak." Henry glared at him.
Joe quickly replied, "Should I keep watch on Ms.
Conrad as well?"
"No..." Henry was just about to say there was no need t o watch her, but immediately thought of something and changed his mind as he pursed his lips. "Watch for a while and see if she has made any contact with Dominic between yesterday and today while you're at i t." "Yes sir," replied Joe.
At that moment, someone had knocked on Yvonne’s ward.
Joe went to answer the door reflexively.
Sue entered the ward and her eyes were red.
Obviously she had just cried before she entered. "Sir, i s madam alright?"
Henry only looked at Yvonne but did not reply.
How could she be alright? Her nose and face were bruised, and not a part of her body seemed to be safe from harm.
Sue saw that Henry did not answer her and walked towards Yvonne's bed to find out for herself. She felt heartbroken the moment she saw Yvonne’s heavily bandaged body. "Sir, who would have the guts to do such a thing to madam?"
"I’m looking into it," answered Henry as he pressed on his temples.
Sue couldn't hold in her tears and began to cry again." Poor madam. Sir, you must find the person who did this to her. You must do unto them what they had did t o madam, they must pay severely."
Henry's eyes narrowed as he had a dangerous look on his face. "You don't have to tell me that, I'll make sure they pay."
He already had the intent to murder the people who had tortured Yvonne when he saw how badly injured she was at the hotel.
