She wanted to wait outside for Shannon to come out s o she could teach her a lesson.
But now she really couldn't wait. If she waited any longer, she was afraid that Shannon might be on Henry’s bed!
In the president's office of the Lancaster Group, Yvonne didn't know that Jacqueline was on her way t o look for trouble with her.
Henry put her on the sofa and she watched him make a phone call to a doctor. Her eyes flashed. "Mr.
Lancaster, do you think we'll be misunderstood?"
"Misunderstood about what?" Henry put down the phone and looked at her.
Yvonne put her hand on the armrest. "About our relationship, of course. Many people saw us when you carried me just now. They’d definitely be guessing what our relationship is."
"Let them guess," Henry replied and didn’t care about i t.
Yvonne chuckled lightly, "Mr. Lancaster, you're really optimistic. If they say that I’m the little lover you’re looking for, won’t your image be ruined?"
"No." Henry came over and sat down opposite her.
Yvonne looked at him. "Why not?"
"My employees don’t gossip and you’re not a little lover. I’ll let Joe explain later.” Henry poured her a glass of water.
Yvonne took it and casually said, "Well, please do, Mr. Lancaster, especially to Mrs. Lancaster. What happened today will definitely spread to Mrs.
Lancaster. You must explain it to her. Otherwise, she’ll misunderstand again.”
Henry frowned and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to care about her."
"Why?”
Henry’s thin lips moved. Right when he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.
Henry narrowed his eyes in displeasure, but he swallowed his words and said, "Come in!"
The person outside got his permission. He pushed the door gently and came in. He was a doctor in a white lab coat.
The doctor greeted Henry first, "Mr. Lancaster."
Henry pointed to Yvonne’s ankle. "Come here and examine her."
"Sure." The doctor took a look at Yvonne, thinking that this was the woman that Mr. Lancaster carried. She was really beautiful. No wonder Mr. Lancaster, who had never been close to any woman, was also attracted.
But she seemed familiar.
He couldn't remember where he had last seen her, but she looked really familiar.
There was no time for him to think about it. He quickly took off the emergency box on his shoulder and went forward to examine Yvonne’s ankle.
After the examination, the doctor nodded, turned around to open the emergency box, and searched for the sterilized iodine.
Henry stood aside and asked, "Is it serious?"
"It's very serious. Her bone is dislocated and she sprained her ligaments. She won't be able to walk properly for at least half a month, but luckily she didn't hurt her bones,” the doctor replied after he found the iodine.
Yvonne raised her eyebrows after hearing her injury and didn't say anything.
When Henry heard the doctor say that she didn’t hurt her bones, his expression relaxed a lot unknowingly, even his heart.
"Miss, I'll relocate your bones now. Please endure the pain,” the doctor reminded Yvonne gently while putting on a pair of medical gloves.
Yvonne nodded to indicate that she understood. Then, she took a deep breath, grasped the sofa tightly with both hands, looked at the doctor, and signaled that she was ready to start.
The doctor got her signal, reached out to hold her foot with some force, and twisted it fast and hard.
With a click, the doctor removed his hand from Yvonne's feet. "It's done."
Yvonne opened her eyes with her pale face-she still couldn't believe it. "It's done?”
