Henry saw all her worries and he knew she couldn't have faked it.
Henry initially suspected that she had poisoned his grandfather, but seeing her so worried, he started questioning himself. 2
The biggest reason why he thought it was her was because she was the one who had personally brought the soup, and she was also the only one who touched i t. Since no one else had touched the chicken soup, then those who could've had the chance to do so were only Yvonne and Sue who made the soup.
However, Sue had been in the Lancaster family for more than 20 years, and it was absolutely impossible for her to have done this. Therefore, he thought Yvonne was the only one who could have done it.
But he was not sure now!
"Henry, say something!" Yvonne was anxious when Henry did not say anything.
She was really worried about the old man!
Henry stared at Yvonne with his deep eyes. His thin lips trembled slightly and he was about to answer when Sue suddenly patted her forehead. "I remember now." "What do you remember?" Henry and Yvonne looked a
t her.
Sue grabbed Yvonne's hand. "I remember what you said just now, sir. You said that except for madam, there’s no one else who could have touched the soup, except... One may have touched it."
"Who?" Yvonne had a bad feeling.
Henry noticed how strange she was acting, and his eyes narrowed menacingly.
Sue was silent for a while before she uttered, "It's Miss Lynette."
"That’s impossible!" Yvonne shouted loudly.
Sue looked at her. "Madam, it may be possible. I would definitely not harm master, and neither would you. It could only be her. Don’t forget, when I gave you the thermos container, Miss Lynette was there. As long as she could distract you, she had the chance to poison the soup."
"Distract me?" Yvonne whispered as she suddenly thought of something. Her pupils shrank and she suddenly turned pale.
She remembered that Lynette had indeed distracted her for a while when she asked Yvonne to pour her another glass of honey water.
When she got her the glass of honey, Lynette said goodbye before drinking the honey water.
Lynette seemed like she was in a rush when she left. She even laughed at Lynette for running away like she had done something wrong. Now it seemed like maybe she really did.
"How could it be..." Yvonne’s body went limp and she fumbled a few steps back before falling on her butt on the ground. She was in complete disbelief.
Henry understood from her conversation with Sue that the sodium nitrite was not because of Yvonne, but her friend, Lynette.
"Yvonne, you'd better give me an explanation. Why did your friend try to harm Grandpa? I won’t let you go if you don’t give me a proper explanation." Henry lowered his head slightly while looking at Yvonne condescendingly with his cold eyes.
Even if the poison was not hers, it was still because of her.
He would still be mad at her.
He could not forget the feeling when his grandfather's heartbeat almost stopped at the nursing home!
Yvonne ignored his words as she was lost in her own thoughts.
She finally understood why Lynette replied to her text by saying sorry.
It was because the old man was poisoned-that was why she was sorry.
However, what was scarier was that she did not think of that at all. If she had figured it out earlier, Grandpa would not...
"I need to talk to her. I must find her and ask why she did this and why she is doing this to me!" Yvonne got u p from the ground and stumbled towards the door with tears in her eyes as she ran away.
"Madam!" Sue shouted worriedly.
Yvonne heard her but did not respond. She rushed out of the door after changing her shoes.
Sue was anxious. "Sir..."
"Let her be!" Henry replied with a cold face, "I need an explanation."
"But..."
"Enough, I don't want to hear anything else. Go pack u p and go to the nursing home," Henry raised his hand and interrupted her.
