Only Sue would prepare such supplements, especially the chicken soup.
In the past, Sue often talked about what to eat to strengthen the immune system. When she lost her first child, Sue would boil chicken soup for her.
Thinking of this, Yvonne lowered her eyes and laughed softly. Her laugh was full of emotions.
Speaking of it, it had been six years since she last saw Sue.
She didn’t know how Sue was now. Would her knee still hurt when it was windy or rainy?
And Federick. Federick was eighty-eight years old this year. She didn't know if his body was still strong...
"What's the matter?" Realizing that Yvonne suddenly became sad, Henry looked at her suspiciously. He didn't understand why her eyes were red when she looked at the supplements.
Yvonne sniffed. "It's nothing. Sorry, this is embarrassing. I'm just so touched, I didn’t expect you t o get someone to prepare so many supplements."
Henry answered in a low voice, "I just casually said it and my housekeeper immediately prepared them."
'It's indeed Sue,' Yvonne said in her heart and her smile became wider.
She said casually, "Oh? Housekeeper? Your housekeeper prepared so much. It seems that this housekeeper has a high status?"
Henry said softly, "She's like family."
Yvonne's eyes flickered. "That housekeeper must be very happy to be regarded as your family."
"I wanted to send her abroad for her retirement, but she won't go." Henry sat down.
Yvonne frowned. "Why? Is she old?"
If she remembered correctly, Sue was only about sixty years old this year. Why did he want to support Sue after she retired?
Besides, Sue had children, so he didn't need to support her during her retirement.
"She's not very old, but she fell two years ago and hurt her waist. She often had lower back pain. I asked her t o go abroad for treatment, but she refused. As for the reason..." Henry pursed his thin lips and didn't speak.
But Yvonne could roughly guess the reason why.
Sue refused to go abroad for treatment probably because she wanted to monitor Jacqueline.
Sue never liked Jacqueline, so she wasn’t satisfied with her being Mrs. Lancaster, but she couldn't disobey Henry, so she could only stay in the villa to monitor Jacqueline.
Yvonne whispered, "How silly!”
Henry didn’t hear clearly. "What do you say?"
Yvonne clasped her hands and asked, "It’s nothing. I was saying, how did your housekeeper fall?"
Henry didn't see the worry in her eyes. He poured himself a glass of water and answered faintly, "She fell when going downstairs."
She asked again, "I see. Where else did she hurt apart from the waist?"
Henry wasn't a fool. He didn't notice the problem the first two times she asked, but he noticed it when she asked many times.
Just like now, he felt that she seemed to care about Sue very much and the questions were too detailed.
Although he thought so, Henry replied, "Nope, only the waist."
Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, "Really?"
Henry looked at her and voiced his doubts. "You seem to care a lot about my housekeeper?"
Yvonne’s eyes flashed a little flustered quickly, but soon, she calmed down and laughed, "Yes. After all, she prepared so many supplements for me. It's normal to care about her. It's just courtesy. By the way." 1
As if she thought of something else, she suddenly stood up, took her crutch, and went to the room.
When she came out again, there was a bag in her hand.
"Henry, please bring this to your housekeeper." Yvonne passed the bag to him.
“What's this?" Henry took it over and opened it to have a look, but it was wrapped so tightly that he couldn't see what they were.
Yvonne replied calmly, "It's an ointment to relieve back pain."
Henry squinted his eyes. "Why do you have this here?"
She didn't look like someone with lower back pain.
