Hopefully this time, Jacqueline and the driver will be honest and clear the air during Joe’s visit there.
Otherwise, his method would definitely be worse than mental torture and breaking a leg.
Upon thinking of this, Henry sighed wearily. Then, he used his hand to hammer his head which was about t o explode in pain and went downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Sue was sitting on the sofa in a daze. She didn't notice when Henry walked u p to her.
In the end, Henry called her and she regained consciousness.
Sue used the hem of her apron to wipe the corner of her eyes and asked swiftly, "Sir, when did you come down?"
Henry held on to the armrest of the sofa as he sat down. "I just got down."
Sue noticed his face was pale and he looked unusual.
She felt nervous. "Sir, are you alright?"
Madam went missing and it was uncertain if she was still alive.
She really didn't want anything to happen to sir.
"I'm fine, just having a headache. Is there any
medicine?” Henry asked with his eyes slightly closed.
Sue nodded repeatedly. "Yes, we have medicine for headaches. Let me get them now."
After that, she hurried to the kitchen and took out a medical kit.
There were many medicines in the medical kit. Sue rummaged around and found the medicine for headaches.
She handed two pills to Henry.
Henry took it and glanced at it twice. Then, he popped them into his mouth and swallowed without drinking water.
After taking the medicine, he leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed and waited for the effect to kick in.
Half an hour later, Henry’s frowning eyebrows gradually loosened up.
Upon seeing this, Sue poured a glass of warm water and walked over. "Sir, are you feeling better?"
Henry took a few sips of the warm water. "It's not as painful as before."
"That's good.” Sue nodded but she was still worried about him and said thoughtfully, "You were fine before this and the headache seems serious. Sir, should I ask Dr. Summers to come over and have a look?” "That's fine.” Henry waved his hand and refused.
"But...”
Just when Sue wanted to continue, Joe returned. “Mr. Lancaster, the driver has already been taken care ok."
He understated it as if breaking a person’s leg was just a trivial matter.
But it was indeed a trivial matter for Henry and Joe.
They just broke his leg and didn’t kill anyone.
Furthermore, their revenge was reasonable.
“Is Jacqueline scared?" Henry didn't ask about the driver. Instead, he asked about Jacqueline first.
Joe tilted his glasses. "Jacqueline is terribly scared and her stomach hurts. Mr. Lancaster, do we need to send a doctor over?”
Henry twitched the corner of his mouth coldly." There's no need to."
"But what if she has a miscarriage?" Joe looked at him.
Henry narrowed his eyes. "That’s her problem."
Joe shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing he could say since the boss already said so.
"Did they come clean this time?" Henry picked up the glass that he put down earlier and drank some water.
Joe pursed his lower lip in shame, "It’s still the same answer. Even when I asked someone to break the driver’s leg which terrified Jacqueline and that she might have a miscarriage, they still claimed that madam got out of the car by herself. So, Mr. Lancaster, I'm thinking maybe they didn't lie. Perhaps madam did get out of the car herself?”
