Yvonne answered him with a blank expression," Grandpa’s at the morgue. If you want to see him, you should go there."
"Yvonne, stop joking with me!" Henry came up to her with a gloomy face.
Yvonne looked at him disdainfully. "Joking? Do you think I'd joke with you about Grandpa's life and death? Henry, please think before you speak!"
Henry's pupils dilated because he never expected that this woman would actually talk and look at him like that.
"Sir, madam's right. Master has indeed..."
"No!" Henry sternly interrupted Sue. His fists were clenched tightly on both sides, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed. "Grandpa's not dead, you're all lying to me!"
"Why would we lie to you?" Yvonne stood up, and at this moment, her petite body seemed so tall.
She showed no fear at all, even when she was facing Henry who was full of coldness. "Henry, do you know what you missed out on in this life?"
Henry stared at her with trembling eyes.
She took a breath and said coldly, "You missed the last moments with Grandpa, and Grandpa also didn't get t o see you, his only grandson, during his final moments. This not only made Grandpa leave with regret, but it'll also be the biggest regret of your life!"
When Yvonne said this, her tone was not heavy, but like a sharp blade, they left a deep cut in Henry's heart.
His face gradually turned pale, his usual strong temperament had become vulnerable at this moment.
'Boom!'
He suddenly roared like a trapped beast and slammed his fist against the wall.
He used up almost all his strength and the skin of his knuckles were cut open. The bright red blood dripped down the palm of his hand to the ground, staining the carpet in red.
He finally believed and accepted the cruel fact that the old man had passed away.
Henry's wild behavior shocked everyone in the ward.
Yvonne looked at his bloody hand. Although she felt worried for a second, she did not ask him about it.
She could not forgive him so easily because of the old man's death and the matter between him and Jacqueline!
In the end, only Sue approached him. "Sir, what're you doing? Let me see. Did you injure your bones?"
She was going to take a look at Henry's hand.
Henry pulled his hand away to the side to avoid Sue's
touch. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa...when did he leave?"
"When you were busy having a good time with Jacqueline," Yvonne replied sarcastically.
Henry's expression changed slightly. Nobody knew what he was thinking about but his expression darkened.
"Jacqueline and I didn't..."
"You didn’t?" Yvonne interrupted him, "Didn't do it?"
Henry's thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but eventually he did not say anything.
When Yvonne noticed his silence, her heart sank and she felt miserable. "You're not saying anything. It seems like something did happen between you and Jacqueline, right?"
"Madam, Mr. Lancaster was tricked," Joe spoke for Henry.
Yvonne was so angry she started laughing, but she was also crying at the same time. "Tricked? He and Jacqueline did something like that. Is he supposed to b e forgiven just because it's a trick? Even if Jacqueline did trick him, would she have succeeded if he didn't g o meet her on his own?" she pointed at Henry and asked Joe loudly.
