Henry closed the magazine in his hand and said, "I'm waiting for you to apologize to Grandpa.”
Yvonne pouted, "I know. I'd do it even if you didn't remind me. You purposely waited for me. Do you think I'd run away?"
Henry sneered softly and stood up. "Yes, I am afraid you'll escape."
"No way." Yvonne shook her head seriously. "I won’t escape. Although I wasn't the one who poisoned Grandpa, I was the one who sent the soup over. I'll bear the responsibility."
"That’s good." Henry put the magazine aside and stood up. "Let's eat." 1
Yvonne stood still on the stairs.
Henry stopped to look at her. "What's the matter?"
"For that... thank you." Yvonne touched her face and thanked him.
Henry understood what she meant and an unnatural light swept into his deep eyes. "You don't have to thank me. It’s what I should do. I was too impulsive yesterday."
After seeing the old man's condition yesterday, he had nothing in his mind except anger. So he didn't think it through whether it was really Yvonne who put the
poison and slapped her irrationally.
After calming down, he slowly figured out that it was not her. But it was too late and he had already slapped her.
Therefore, he tried to make up for his impulsive action during the day at night.
Yvonne's eyes widened for a moment upon hearing Henry’s apology. 1
But soon, she returned to reality and smiled gently, "I understand how you felt at that time. After all, I was the one who sent the poisoned soup over. It's normal for you to be angry.”
"Alright. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go." Henry avoided the topic and went to the dining room.
Yvonne looked at his back, took her hand off her face, and lifted her feet to follow him.
After breakfast, Joe suddenly came with a document i n his hand.
Henry was not surprised at his arrival and asked directly, "Did you find it?"
"Yes, I've found it." Joe handed over the document." Lynette's parents were indeed being sent overseas, but they didn't get an accommodation arrangement after they went abroad. So the couple is now stranded at the embassy and they're unable to return.”
"What?" Upon hearing this, Yvonne couldn't help exclaiming, "Stranded at the embassy?"
Joe looked at her and nodded. "Yes."
"But... didn't Lynette say that her parents were sent abroad for medical treatment?" Yvonne asked.
Henry snorted mockingly, "Do you think that's possible?"
Yvonne choked and suddenly remembered that Jacqueline was the manipulator behind this incident.
Since Jacqueline had planned this, it really was impossible. After all, Jacqueline had made an empty promise to Lynette from the beginning. She never intended to send Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger for medical treatment. 1
It was a deception that she sent the old couple overseas. After they went abroad, she wouldn’t care if they were dead or alive.
"This is too much!" Hearing all these things, Yvonne punched the back of the sofa angrily.
Henry glanced at her without saying anything.
Yvonne took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. She asked, "What's their situation now?"
Joe tilted his glasses and he was about to answer Yvonne.
Henry threw the document in his hand to Yvonne. " Everything's here. See for yourself."
Yvonne quickly took the document and opened it. After reading, she felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.
Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger were in poor health and they needed a lot of medicine.
Not only was the medication cut off, but they were sent abroad. After these problems, their health was even worse. Just when Lynette's father's leg had finally recovered a little, it was now back in its original state. It was really sad.
But she couldn't put all the blame on Jacqueline because their daughter, Lynette, was part of it too. If Lynette didn't believe Jacqueline so easily, they would still be in the hospital now.
"Henry, can I have this?" Yvonne held up the document.
