Yvonne didn't answer.
The old man glared at Henry. "I told you not to be so impulsive and stubborn, but you refuse to listen and you thought that Yvonne poisoned me. You even slapped her when you got home. What a terrible man!"
Henry pursed his thin lips. "I know I was wrong."
"Hmph! You know nothing. If you do, you wouldn't think that it was Yvonne. As her husband, if you don't even trust your wife, who else will you trust?" The old man scolded while pointing at him, "Just believe whatever you want. One day, you’ll pay for the price of being so arrogant."
Henry's eyes flickered, but he kept quiet.
The old man withdrew his gaze. "I don't know who you got your temper from, but you're making this old man worried."
Henry turned his face away and pretended that he didn’t hear him.
The old man was so angry when he saw him behaving this way. "Girl."
He called Yvonne.
Yvonne responded quickly, "Yes, Grandpa?" "Did he apologize to you?" The old man pouted his lips
at Henry.
Yvonne looked at Henry, who happened to look over at the same time.
She met his deep eyes abruptly and her heart trembled. She nodded and answered, "Yes, he did." 1
"Really?" The old man narrowed his eyes as he didn't believe it.
Yvonne recalled Henry's apologetic tone at that time and hummed in confirmation, "He really did apologize."
"Really?" The old man was still a little skeptical. Then, he waved to Henry. "Come here."
Henry felt something wasn't right, but he still walked over.
The old man pointed at Yvonne. "You. Apologize to Yvonne again. I want to hear it with my own ears."
Henry didn't expect that the old man would ask him t o do this. His face turned sour all of a sudden.
Yvonne noticed that and quickly waved her hand. " Grandpa, let's forget it. He's apologized to me."
"That's not good enough. I know him very well. He values his ego more than anything else. His apologies might not even be sincere. Hurry up! What are you doing? Apologize quickly. Are you trying to piss me off?" the old man stared and yelled at Henry, i
Henry couldn't defy him. Therefore, he apologized to
Yvonne.
Yvonne quickly replied that it was fine. 1
Upon seeing this, the old man was finally satisfied. He touched his beard and chuckled, "This is how it should be. Alright, you should all leave now. I need to get some rest."
He ordered them to go back.
Yvonne tucked him in. "Get some rest, Grandpa. We'll visit you again tomorrow."
"Off you go." The old man waved his hand.
Yvonne nodded at Frederick who was at the side and left the ward with Henry.
Yvonne stood beside Henry and asked, "Where are you going after this? Back to the office?"
Henry's face turned gloomy. "Heading to The Stellar Hotel."
Yvonne got anxious. "Are you going to do something t o Lynette?"
Henry tightened his lips and didn't answer.
