Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 79

"It's useless." Henry put his laptop aside with a dull gaze. "The Lancasters have too many enemies. We can go all the way back if we actually count. It won’t be easy to find out who actually got my younger brother."

"But it'll be difficult to track Young Mr. Lancaster down this way."

"I know." Henry rubbed his thumb before saying," Hmm, let the firm continue their investigation. Since they found the record of my brother's DNA, they’ll definitely be able to find which day it was when he went for the surgery ten years ago, as well as the surgeon who did the work."

Even when the person behind all this had erased all traceable records of his younger brother’s plastic surgery, the surgeon most probably would not be killed to seal the secret, would he?

Once they found the surgeon, maybe they would be able to find out something about his younger brother.

"Alright, I'll inform the firm." Joe nodded and turned t o leave.

Just as he opened the ward's door, he was surprised b y Yvonne who was outside of it. "Madam, you’re back?" "Mm," Yvonne hummed in acknowledgment.

Joe calmed himself down and asked with a smile," Have you been back for long?"

"About two minutes now.”

"Then why didn't you come in?"

Yvonne lifted the takeout in her hand. "I hear you guys talking, so I was going to wait until you both were done." 1

"I see. Please go in now, madam. Mr. Lancaster and I are done." Joe stepped aside to give way to Yvonne. The latter thanked him and entered after passing him.

"Henry, I'm back." Yvonne went to him with the takeout.

Looking at her, Henry hummed in reply.

Yvonne opened the takeout box and spoke, "I’m pretty lucky. I saw a restaurant right as I stepped out of the hospital and it’s one by our people. I got some bone broth for you as nourishment."

"Is bone broth nourishment?" Henry raised his brow. Why had he never heard of it?

"It is." Yvonne smiled at him. "You get nourished from what you eat. You injured your bone so it's good for you to have some bone broth. Try some!”

She picked the bowl of broth up and blew on it before passing it to him with both hands. "Careful, it's hot!”

Henry drank some from it without saying anything.

"How is it?" Yvonne asked while nervously looking at him.

He took another sip and gave her two words. "It's alright."

"That’s good then." Yvonne was relieved.

It meant that he could still accept it. She was worried that what she bought would not match his taste. After all, she knew how picky he was with his food. It seemed that she had gotten the right choice now.

"Then have some more. I bought plenty." Yvonne patted the takeout boxes.

Henry did not say anything, quietly scooping the broth into his mouth.

Feeling the awkwardness, Yvonne retracted her hand from the takeout boxes and hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Henry, I heard your conversation with Mr. Woods outside of the door just now. You have a younger brother?"

Henry's scooping motion froze for a beat before he recovered. "Mm."

"Really?" She was astonished.

Henry side-eyed her. "Didn't you hear it already?"

"Uh..." Yvonne played with her fingers. "I heard it but I’m still surprised to hear you admit it personally. Why have I never heard of you having a younger brother though?"

"He was abducted by the Lancasters' nemesis when he was two," Henry replied faintly, putting down his bowl.

"Abducted?”
