"She'll be fine," replied the doctor as he took out his pen and scribbled something on his notepad.
"She's got a fever from being under the rain for too long, but she'll come around once the fever
subsides."
"Ok." Henry nodded in acknowledgment.
Yvonne scanned Henry secretly and it was as she expected. The worried look on Henry's face had
disappeared.
Feeling jealous, Yvonne walked out of the room, stomping the ground as she walked.
"Where are you going?" asked Henry.
Yvonne only continued to walk out without pausing or replying.
Sue was very unhappy when she saw Yvonne walk out and looked at Henry. "Sir, can't you tell that
madam is angry?"
"Angry?" Henry was startled.
He honestly couldn't tell.
"What is she angry for?" asked Henry.
Sue sighed and explained, "How dense can you be to b e unable to even tell that madam is angry?
Let me tell you then sir, madam is angry at you for being too concerned over Jacqueline."
Henry's eyes widened slightly. He had intended to explain that he wasn't actually overly concerned
about Jacqueline.
However, the words wouldnât come out of his mouth.
Sue shook her head as she saw Henryâs silence. She initially had a little confidence that he would
be able t o do the right thing, but was proven wrong and could only walk out in disappointment.
She could not understand what sort of magic Jacqueline had.
'Sir has already fallen in love with madam, yet he is still unable to let go of Jacqueline.'
It was frustrating!
As Sue walked out of the room, she saw Yvonne sitting by the stairs looking sad. Sue was shocked
and she quickly walked towards her and asked, "Why are you sitting here madam?"
"I was feeling a little faint, so I sat down to rest for a while,â answered Yvonne, her face pale.
Sue was immediately anxious at the news of Yvonne feeling faint. She quickly reached out her hand
and placed it on Yvonne's forehead. âLet me have a look. D o you have a fever from standing under
the rain and wind for too long?"
"I donât have a fever, I just checked," said Yvonne with a smile.
Sue felt Yvonne's forehead and relaxed a little bit when found her words to be true. "Thankfully
thereâs n o fever, but we cannot let our guard down just yet. Iâll head to the kitchen and boil ginger
for you to drink."
"It's alright Sue," refused Yvonne.
"I insist!" said Sue.
Yvonne couldn't dissuade Sue and was brought to the kitchen downstairs with her.
While Sue was busy in the kitchen, Yvonne waited by the kitchen door.
Soon after, a bowl of hot ginger was brought to Yvonne.
Yvonne thanked Sue and began to drink.
The drink had warmed not only Yvonne's stomach, but also the coldness she felt in her heart just
now.
She put down the bowl and breathed in a breath of fresh air. The paleness from her face began to
disappear and was replaced by a smile.
"Are you feeling better madam? Do you still feel faint?" asked the concerned Sue as she reached
out and took the empty bowl from Yvonne.
Yvonne shook her head and said, "Your ginger drink worked wonders."
"Thatâs good then. Itâs getting late, you should head to your room and rest." Sue took the empty
bowl and started washing it.
Yvonne shut her eyes and said, "I can't sleep." "What's the matter?" Sue turned to look at her. "Are
you unable to sleep because Jacqueline's here?"
Yvonne nodded without any intention to deny. "Itâs not only that. Itâs because of Henry as well..."
Sue got a shock as she was washing the bowl. "Sir... Madam, are you still thinking about what sir
did..."
"Yes, I'm thinking about it, and I'm annoyed because o f it!" Yvonneâs nose twitched, and her voice
was bitter. "Sue, do you know? Iâm extremely angry when I think about how worried Henry was as
he looked at Jacqueline. I'm not jealous. Henry can be concerned or worried about anyone other
than Jacqueline. She's the only one that I cannot accept."
"I know, I know all about it madam.â Sue wiped off the water from her hands before reaching out to
hold Yvonneâs. "However, you must not think too much madam. Youâre the one that sir married, and
you're the one he is in love with now. What sir had with Jacqueline is already in the past."
"Itâs exactly because of this that I'm even more annoyed." Yvonne pulled her hands back, her words
only had discontent in herself. "I actually donât understand how Henry is able to say that he loves
me, yet is still unable to let go of Jacqueline. Why doesn't h e just divorce me if he is unable to let
go of her!"
Sue was shocked by her words and shushed her." Madam, you should not say such things, sir loves
you for sure. As for Jacqueline... You should just treat it as him being an idiot and being unable to
think clearly. The two of you have gone through so much to reconcile and become like a truly
married couple. You shouldn't talk about getting a divorce because someone else is attempting to
create a crack in your bond.â 2
"Crack... Hasn't it always been there,â said Yvonne mockingly.
Sueâs mouth opened wide as she heard this. She did not know what to say at that moment.
'She's right, the crack has always been there.'
Yvonne and her child were the main reason why the crack existed.
"Alright Sue, I'm so sorry you have to listen to me grumbling non-stop. Iâll head back to my room
now. You should get some rest too," said Sue as she got up t o leave the kitchen. 1
Upstairs, Yvonne twisted the doorknob to open it. The lights were on in the room. Clearly someone
was inside.
As to who was inside, there was no need for Yvonne to guess.
However, she was curious as to why he wasn't accompanying Jacqueline in the guest room.
Without thinking too much, Yvonne walked into the room and saw Henry entering from the balcony.
He was holding a glass of red wine.
"You back?" he asked.
Yvonne looked at him and nodded in acknowledgment, then walked towards the bathroom.
Henry saw how cold she was and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, putting down the glass in his
hands and walking to the bathroom as well.
Henry stood by the door and watched as Yvonne brushed her teeth. "Are you still mad?"
"No," replied Yvonne coldly.
Henry slightly raised an eyebrow.
How was she not angry based on her tone?
Henry massaged his temples which were aching and said, "If you're uncomfortable because of
Jacqueline, I can ask someone to send her away."
"Uncomfortable?" Yvonne stopped brushing her teeth and rinsed her mouth before turning to look at
Henry." Yes, I'm uncomfortable with Jacqueline here, but what about you? Aren't you going to
explain yourself to me? Why are you so worried about her for example?
Henry's eyes lit up and asked instead of replying." What do you think the reason is?"
Yvonne said to him slowly and clearly, "Of course it's because you still love her.â "Impossible!"
Henry answered without hesitating.
He was very sure of himself that he no longer loved Jacqueline.
Although Yvonne was shocked at Henry for being able to answer so quickly, it still wasnât enough to
cheer her up.
She took in a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling t o stifle her tears. "Since you said you don't
love her anymore, why aren't you able to let her go and are still showing concern for her? I can tell
that you still care for her."
Henry lowered his head so that his emotions were covered. "You're right, I do care for her still, but
it's not because of love, it's..."
"What is it?" Yvonne stared at him deeply with a glimmer of hope in her heart.
