Elliot replied, "In my room."
Henry nodded. “You have to take care of Theo during this period of time. You had the least contact with Yvonne. I'll be at ease if you can take care of Theo."
Elliot had the least contact with Yvonne, which meant that he was unlikely to be infected with the virus.
With Theo under his care, Henry could concentrate on taking care of Yvonne.
Elliot understood what he meant and answered gently, "I'll take good care of Theo."
"Get back to your room. I have to go now." With that, Henry opened his door room, changed his clothes, and left again.
Elliot sighed as he saw him come and go in a hurry.
After Henry left the family residence, he first went to the Lancaster Group to deal with the affairs at Lancaster Group. Then, he went to Yvonne’s company t o help her deal with work.
The employees in Yvonne's company were very happy to see him.
Because he was the president and chairman of the Lancaster Group, and he was with their company’s director. This meant that the powerful Lancaster Group had their back.
Although they were subsidiaries of the Smith family, the Smith family's headquarters were abroad. If something happened, headquarters might not be able t o help on time.
Therefore, it was better for them to rely on the Lancaster family rather than the Smith family.
Lisa held a stack of documents and put them on Yvonne's desk. "Mr. Lancaster, these are the documents for today.”
Henry was sitting in Yvonne's office now. After seeing the stack of documents, he hummed faintly, "Leave it here."
"Okay." Lisa put them down, but she didn't leave.
Henry looked at her. "What's the matter?"
Lisa said, "Mr. Smith called me this morning. He was looking for Miss Smith, but he couldn't reach her, so h e called me instead. I didn't tell Mr. Smith about Miss Smith, but if Mr. Smith can't find her after some time, he'll definitely send someone over."
Henry pinched his eyebrows. "I get you what you mean. You may leave now. I'll give Sam a call and make it clear to him."
Lisa thanked him happily, turned around, and left the room. "Okay. Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Lancaster."
After she left, Henry sighed, put down the pen in his hand, picked up his mobile phone, and made a call to Sam who was abroad.
Although it was late abroad, it was only eleven o'clock in the evening. Sam probably hadn't slept yet.
Sam was indeed awake.
Sam answered the phone after it rang for a while." Why are you suddenly calling me, Mr. Lancaster?"
Henry's call really surprised Sam.
Henry was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I want to tell you something about Yvonne."
Sam frowned. "What happened to Shannon?"
Henry pursed his thin lips and explained Yvonne’s current situation to Sam.
He hadn't planned to inform the Smith family about this.
But after thinking about it, he decided to inform them.
After all, the Smith family was kind to Yvonne. He shouldn't keep it from them.
After listening to Henry, Sam was shocked and then h e became angry.
Sam questioned, "Henry, why didn't you protect her?"
Henry held his phone tightly. "No one expected this situation!"
He admitted that he didn't protect Yvonne well.
Sam was pissed. "Unexpected? Yes, there are indeed many unexpected things in the world, but why are you
not able to predict anything?"
Henry closed his eyes. "I'm telling you this to let you know what's going on with Yvonne." 1
Sam took a deep breath and barely calmed down. "Can Shannon be saved?"
Henry's eyes darkened. "Shane is trying his best to research the vaccine."
Sam raised his voice, "So you're saying that Shannon can't be saved at the moment?"
Henry didn't deny it. "I won't let her die."
Sam shouted, "Hmph! Everyone can make empty promises. The vaccine hasn't been produced yet. How can you be so sure?"
Henry looked serious. "Because I'm willing to die with her."
"What?" Sam was startled. After a while, he asked uncertainly, "Are you kidding me, Henry?"
