There was sudden silence on the phone, and it took Joe a long time to finally say, "Madam, I know your identity."
Yvonne's expression changed slightly. "What are you talking about?"
"Madam, Frederick told me that you're Yvonne and you're Theo's mother. I called you just to tell you that M r. Lancaster passed out after you left. Dr. Tom said that he's regaining his memory."
Regaining his memory?
Yvonne clenched her hand that was holding the phone. "So what?"
She admitted her identity.
Frederick had already told him anyway, so it didn't make sense for her to keep hiding it.
Moreover, even if Frederick didn't reveal her identity, she wouldn't be able to hide her identity forever.
It was inevitable that her identity would get exposed someday.
"So madam, when Mr. Lancaster recovers his memory, he'll definitely want to see you and ask about what happened six years ago," Joe replied.
Yvonne sneered, "Fine, I'll answer all his questions
when the time comes. I hope he can bear all the truth."
After she said that, she hung up immediately.
She didn't sleep well that night.
She kept dreaming about the sulfuric acid incident last night, or the fire six years ago.
She didn't know why she dreamed about those incidents. When she woke up the next day, there were dark circles under her eyes. She applied a lot of concealer to cover it, but it barely covered the lethargy in her eyes.
When she arrived at the hospital, Shane took a glance and instantly knew that she was not in good condition. He poured her a glass of water and asked, "I s something bothering you?"
Yvonne yawned, "No, I just didn't sleep well."
When Shane saw that she didn't want to say anything, he shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask further," How was the party that the Lancaster family organized for Theo last night?"
He didn't attend because of a very important operation last night.
Yvonne drank and replied, "It's alright, but something happened."
"What happened?" Shane raised his eyebrows.
Yvonne put down the glass of water. "Jacqueline sent someone there last night."
"What?" Shane raised his voice.
Yvonne nodded and briefly told him about yesterday’s events.
After Shane heard about what happened, he furrowed his brows. "We were already on our guard, and yet she still managed to get someone to throw sulfuric acid at you."
"Yeah, no one saw it coming. Fortunately, Henry saved me," Yvonne rubbed the cup and said with a vague expression.
Shane looked at her. "You're not hurt, right?"
"No." She shook her head.
Shane breathed a sigh of relief, "Good. As long as you're safe."
"But..." Yvonne suddenly hesitated.
Shane pushed his glasses in doubt. "What's wrong?"
"It's over between Henry and me." Yvonne suddenly smiled.
Shane was surprised. "It's over?"
"Well, he confessed to me last night, but I rejected him in front of everyone and then told him that I’ve never had feelings for him. Everything I did was to play with his feelings, so that he would fall in love with me and that I would dump him," Yvonne sat back in her chair and said lightly.
When Shane heard that, he was not too surprised. "I see. You told me before that this was your way of getting revenge on Henry."
