Yvonne raised her eyebrows. How could she not hear that the man was apologizing?
She didn't expect that he would surrender this fast!
She found him funny, but to keep her reputation, Yvonne had to look angry. "Since you're afraid that I'll overthink, then you should take the initiative to tell m e in the first place. I'm not a petty woman. As long as you explain to me at the beginning that you didn't hug another woman and that it was the woman who bumped into you, I won't be so angry."
Henry moved his thin lips. "I don’t know. I thought that it'd be fine as long as I don’t say anything."
"How is that possible?" Yvonne rolled her eyes. "You'll only make things worse if you don’t say anything because I'll think more and misunderstand you. On the contrary, if you tell me, it will prove your innocence. Isn’t that right?"
Henry nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll remember and it won't happen again in the future."
Yvonne's expression improved completely. She smiled and said, "Alright, let's eat. After this, we'll go back, take a shower, and get your clothes changed. This perfume smell is awful.”
Henry looked at her with a smile. "Are you jealous?"
Yvonne picked up the chopsticks. "You're my husband and you smell of another woman's perfume. Do you think I shouldn’t be jealous?”
Henry was in a good mood. "Okay, I'll take a shower and change my clothes when I go back. I'll throw this away."
"Of course you can't keep it anymore. I'm disgusted." Yvonne took a piece of meat for him.
The couple reconciled and began to eat.
After eating, Henry settled the bill. Then they left the restaurant and hailed a taxi to go back.
When they were back at the hotel, Henry did as he said. He took a shower once he entered the suite and changed his clothes.
Yvonne no longer smelled the perfume from him, so the grudge in her heart was relieved.
Yvonne yawned-she was sleepy again. "Hubby, I'll sleep for a while."
After hearing this, Henry frowned. "You're tired?"
Yvonne nodded. "Yeah, a little.”
Henry checked the time. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon. How could she be sleepy?
Henry walked to the bed and looked at Yvonne. "Don't you think you've been under the weather these two days?"
Yvonne thought for a while and hummed casually," Seems like it. I've been very sleepy these two days."
Henry said while touching her forehead, "Are you sick?"
Yvonne shook her head. "I don’t think so. I don't feel any difference except that I feel like sleeping and I don't have a fever."
Henry withdrew his hand.
Indeed, her forehead wasn't warm and her face wasn’t pale. She didn't look sick either.
But why did she feel sleepy?
Yvonne seemed to have read his mind and she smiled, "Don't worry and don't think too much. Maybe I've been too happy during this period of time. I've never been so relaxed and enjoyed things like this before so I'm exhausted. I'm certainly not sick. I'll tell you if I don't feel well and we'll go to the doctor, okay?"
Henry knew that she was very reluctant to see a doctor. After all, she had been in the hospital for almost six years, so she didn’t want to see a doctor.
Henry respected her too. After listening to her, he nodded and agreed.
Henry looked at Yvonne seriously. "But if anything happens, I'll force you to go even if you don't want to."
Yvonne responded with a smile, "Okay!"
Henry rubbed her head. "Okay, go to sleep."
Yvonne pulled the quilt over and closed her eyes.
Henry sat on the bedside and watched her fall asleep. Then he took his mobile phone to make a call outside.
He called Shane.
It was still midnight in Canada at this time. Shane was in a deep sleep when he received the call. He was very angry when the phone call suddenly woke him and he bounced off the bed.
Shane yelled at his phone, "Are you crazy, Henry? Calling me in the middle of the night?"
Henry kept a straight face and said slowly, "Let me ask you. What can the situation be if there's nothing unusual about a person, but she keeps feeling sleepy?"
Although Yvonne didn’t feel unusual, he felt very uneasy seeing her feeling lethargic.
Shane scratched his hair. "Nothing unusual, but very lethargic? Isn’t that just tired?"
