Officer Turner said, "No, because her only wish was to meet you guys, so we didn't ask any further."
Yvonne took the phone and put it aside. "How is it? Do you want to see her?"
"Let’s go.” Henry raised his eyes. "Didn't you say that you had something to say to her the day before yesterday?"
"Yeah," Yvonne smiled and put the phone back to her ear. "Okay, Officer Turner, we'll be there in a bit."
After the call, Yvonne put the phone aside, picked up a spoon, and started drinking soup.
She wasn't going to go now.
She hadn't eaten yet.
In her heart, food was much more important than Jacqueline.
Yvonne finished her meal an hour later. She then set off to the prison with Henry.
After they arrived at the women's prison, Officer Turner who called earlier came over.
"Miss Smith."
"Officer Turner."
Officer Turner nodded. "Please wait a moment, Miss
Smith. Jacqueline wants to meet Mr. Lancaster."
Yvonne looked at Henry.
Henry narrowed his eyes. "I'll go first."
Yvonne replied, "Okay."
Henry said to Officer Turner, "Let's go."
Officer Turner made a gesture of invitation.
Both of them walked towards the visiting room.
After Henry went in, he saw Jacqueline behind the glass window. She was holding the telephone and looking at him with tears.
Henry frowned, walked over, picked up the telephone o n his side, and put it to his ear.
Jacqueline said with a broken voice, "Henry!”
Henry ignored her.
Jacqueline suddenly laughed in despair, "Why? You don't even want to say a word to me now?"
Henry pursed his lips. "Why are you looking for me?"
Jacqueline suddenly lowered her head. "I want to apologize to you."
Henry was taken aback for a moment. "Apologize?"
"Yes, I did a lot of mean things to you. You protected m e when we were together, and yet I left you alone. You loved me so much but I used your feelings to go further. I even bribed Dr. Ignis to hypnotize you. I'm
sorry, I'm really sorry..."
At this point, she cried even more sadly, as if she really realized her mistake.
If it was someone else, they might believe it.
But Henry didn't. He clearly saw the plan behind her tears.
She was still scheming at this time.
Henry said while putting the phone down, "Well, if this is what you want to tell me, then it's not necessary. So be it."
Seeing this action, Jacqueline hurriedly called to him, " Please wait, Henry."
Henry stopped.
Jacqueline held the phone tightly. “Henry, don't you believe me? I know I was wrong."
Henry became impatient. “Do you really know that you're wrong or are you trying to deceive me with your tears? We both know this very well. There's no need to play any tricks. Come on, what do you want?"
Jacqueline didn't expect that he could read her so easily. She looked a little embarrassed.
She knew that whatever she said now would not be believed or sympathized with.
So she thought of a way, and that was through tears. She used her tears to tell him that she knew she had done wrong in the past, hoping to get his forgiveness.
She thought he would be touched, but now she knew how outrageous she was. He was more cold-hearted than she imagined.
