Sue looked back and gave Yvonne a smile. When she turned back to look at Henry, her face darkened again.
She was obviously mad at him.
It was also the first time Henry had seen her angry at him and he was rather shocked.
Sue put her hands on her waist, "Sir, there are some things that I shouldn't say as a servant of the Lancaster family, but I can't hold it back anymore."
Henry pressed his lips, "What do you want to say?"
"Madam is your wife, right?” Sue asked.
Henry threw a glance at Yvonne. "And then?"
Yvonne raised her delicate eyebrows.
Was that a yes or no?
"Madam is your wife, but have you ever treated her like she’s your wife?" Sue pointed to Sue. 3
The expression on Henry's face turned dark. "Since when have I not treated her like my wife?" 1
"Have you?" Sue slapped on her own chest. "Ask yourself this: do you truly take madam as your wife in your heart? No husband would go and take care of another woman instead of his own wife who is hospitalized."
When Yvonne heard Sue, she instantly lowered her head as grievance welled up in her heart.
Sue continued speaking boldly, "I know you haven't got over Miss Conrad, but you’re a married man now! This woman in front of you is the person who you will spend the rest of your life with. Miss Conrad is just an ex. Do you think it's appropriate for you to be hanging around her?"
"Sue, you have crossed your line!" Henry's voice turned frosty. "I know what I should and shouldn't do. You are not qualified to tell me what to do!"
"Sir, that isn’t what I'm doing. I’m merely reminding you of how to be a husband," Sue sighed.
As the expression on Henry's face grew uglier, Yvonne reached out and tugged Sue on her sleeve. "Enough, Sue."
"Madam...”
"I'm alright.” Yvonne smiled at her. Deep inside, her smile had a sadness that wouldn't fade.
If Henry really knew what he should and shouldn’t do, then he would have distanced himself away from Jacqueline in the first place.
In fact, everyone could see that he was in the wrong, except for himself.
Just because he was in love with Jacqueline, he didn't see any problems in the way he treated her.
Yvonne laughed at herself deprecatingly at the thought of this. "Go back upstairs, Henry. I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while. Please entertain yourself.”
"Back?" Henry creased a frown in displeasure." Yvonne Frey, explain what did you mean by that?"
Yvonne gave him a meaningful look but said nothing.
For some reason, her gaze made Henry somehow irritated.
"Sue, get out now!" He waved his hand and dismissed her.
Sue left tactfully when she felt the tense atmosphere between the two of them.
Only Yvonne and Henry were left in the ward.
He took a step forward and repeated his question. " Yvonne Frey, tell me, why did you say that?"
"No particular reason. Didn't you say that you just came from Miss Conrad's ward? I guess you're here to see her. If you don't go back, she’ll start looking for you." Yvonne explained with a smile, trying to appear unbothered.
Yet her smile offended Henry. He didn't like it for some reason.
"You really want me to find her this badly?" He stared into her eyes intently with an extremely frosty expression on his face as he seethed.
Yvonne didn't understand why he was angry and didn't think too much of it either. In any case, she was already used to his occasional temper.
"It's not that I want you to find her, but I don't think you plan to stay here for long right?" Yvonne looked at the man’s handsome face and replied seriously.
For the past two or three days, Henry had spent most o f his time in Jacqueline's ward. The number of visits h e made to Yvonne's ward could be counted on one hand.
He would disappear instantly every time something happened at Jacqueline’s ward, no matter how trivial i t was.
