Although he thought so, Shane didn't have the intention to tell Henry.
He promised to keep this secret for Yvonne.
It was useless to tell Henry now. With his temper, once he knew that Theo was the child of the Lancaster family, Henry would surely take Theo back home. By that time, Anna, that little devil would bully Theo every day.
How could that happen!
Henry didn't know the frustrations in Shane’s heart. H e clenched his fists and asked with a dumb voice," How's Theo now?"
Shane replied coldly, "He won't be able to get out of bed for a few days at least."
Henry's heart throbbed. "Tell me Theo's ward number. I won't go in, I'll just look at him from the outside.”
He wanted to see the child. He really wanted to.
Shane refused again. "No. What if Theo's mother finds out and makes a big fuss in the hospital? Her family background isn't worse than yours, Henry."
Shane left Henry with no choice but to change his mind. "Then give me Theo’s mother's phone number, o r you can convey a message for me. Tell her that we should meet to discuss Anna's punishment."
"Why should I convey the message for you?" Shane squinted his eyes at Henry. "Don’t forget, we're no longer friends since six years ago. Since we're not friends, I don't have to do this favor for you. So, Mr. Lancaster, you'd better go back."
Henry stood still, his gloomy eyes staring at Shane tightly.
Shane felt a little pressure when Henry stared at him i n this way.
But this pressure wasn't enough to make him compromise.
"Don't look at me like this. I won't agree, so instead of spending time with me here, you might as well go back and think about how you should deal with Anna. Perhaps Theo's mother will be satisfied with your way of handling Anna and cool down a little, then she'll meet you," Shane said the half-truth.
It was true that if Henry took care of Anna and made Yvonne satisfied, Yvonne would cool down and her anger would disappear.
And the fake news was that no matter how Henry dealt with Anna, Yvonne wouldn't meet Henry as Theo's mother.
He said so just to find a reason to send Henry away.
Henry wasn’t stupid either. Naturally, he could tell that Shane was driving him away.
He pursed his thin lips and said coldly, "Do you think I can't find them if you don't tell me? I'll immediately send dozens of people to search your hospital ward by ward. I don't believe that I can't find them with this method.”
Shane replied coldly, "Sure, if you’re not afraid that Theo’s mother will bring the Lancaster family down. Let me tell you this, Henry Lancaster. She has that ability and her family background isn't worse than yours, but I believe that you don't want the Lancaster family to be destroyed, right? Do you want to disappoint Master Lancaster?"
Henry narrowed his emotionless eyes without speaking.
Indeed, he couldn't destroy the Lancaster family.
After his parents passed away, his grandfather handed over the Lancaster family and the Lancaster Group to him. He promised his grandfather that he would inherit them, so he couldn't let the Lancaster family and the Lancaster Group be destroyed in his hands.
Shane noticed Henry's silence. He smiled as he pulled out a chair, sat back, and said jokingly, "It seems that you're giving in and you've dispelled the idea with your silence."
Henry didn't look at him and looked away coldly.
Shane's elbows were on the desk with his fingers crossed. He put his chin at the intersection of his fingers. "Henry, why must you see Theo's mother and
Theo? It’s Anna’s and those kids' fault. Even if you want to make amends to them, you don’t have to meet them. As long as you apologize sincerely, I'm sure Theo's mother can see it."
Henry lowered his eyelids, but he didn’t say a word.
Why must he see them?
Of course, because he wanted to.
There was a voice in his heart all the time, telling him that he had to meet Theo. It was a must.
But the world was tricky. The more he wanted to meet, the harder it was. Anyone who knew or had seen Theo was preventing him from meeting Theo.
"Well then, since you're silent, I have nothing else to say. You should go back and think about how to deal with Anna and those kids. Like I said, perhaps they’ll meet you when your way of dealing with those kids satisfies Theo’s mother," Shane once again issued an eviction order.
Henry really left this time and he left willingly.
