Henry closed the magazine in his hand and said, "I'm waiting for you to apologize to Grandpa.â
Yvonne pouted, "I know. I'd do it even if you didn't remind me. You purposely waited for me. Do you
think I'd run away?"
Henry sneered softly and stood up. "Yes, I am afraid you'll escape."
"No way." Yvonne shook her head seriously. "I wonât escape. Although I wasn't the one who
poisoned Grandpa, I was the one who sent the soup over. I'll bear the responsibility."
"Thatâs good." Henry put the magazine aside and stood up. "Let's eat." 1
Yvonne stood still on the stairs.
Henry stopped to look at her. "What's the matter?"
"For that... thank you." Yvonne touched her face and thanked him.
Henry understood what she meant and an unnatural light swept into his deep eyes. "You don't have
to thank me. Itâs what I should do. I was too impulsive yesterday."
After seeing the old man's condition yesterday, he had nothing in his mind except anger. So he
didn't think it through whether it was really Yvonne who put the
poison and slapped her irrationally.
After calming down, he slowly figured out that it was not her. But it was too late and he had already
slapped her.
Therefore, he tried to make up for his impulsive action during the day at night.
Yvonne's eyes widened for a moment upon hearing Henryâs apology. 1
But soon, she returned to reality and smiled gently, "I understand how you felt at that time. After all,
I was the one who sent the poisoned soup over. It's normal for you to be angry.â
"Alright. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go." Henry avoided the topic and went to the dining
room.
Yvonne looked at his back, took her hand off her face, and lifted her feet to follow him.
After breakfast, Joe suddenly came with a document i n his hand.
Henry was not surprised at his arrival and asked directly, "Did you find it?"
"Yes, I've found it." Joe handed over the document." Lynette's parents were indeed being sent
overseas, but they didn't get an accommodation arrangement after they went abroad. So the couple
is now stranded at the embassy and they're unable to return.â
"What?" Upon hearing this, Yvonne couldn't help exclaiming, "Stranded at the embassy?"
Joe looked at her and nodded. "Yes."
"But... didn't Lynette say that her parents were sent abroad for medical treatment?" Yvonne asked.
Henry snorted mockingly, "Do you think that's possible?"
Yvonne choked and suddenly remembered that Jacqueline was the manipulator behind this
incident.
Since Jacqueline had planned this, it really was impossible. After all, Jacqueline had made an
empty promise to Lynette from the beginning. She never intended to send Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger for
medical treatment. 1
It was a deception that she sent the old couple overseas. After they went abroad, she wouldnât care
if they were dead or alive.
"This is too much!" Hearing all these things, Yvonne punched the back of the sofa angrily.
Henry glanced at her without saying anything.
Yvonne took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. She asked, "What's their situation now?"
Joe tilted his glasses and he was about to answer Yvonne.
Henry threw the document in his hand to Yvonne. " Everything's here. See for yourself."
Yvonne quickly took the document and opened it. After reading, she felt a little uncomfortable and
didn't know what to say.
Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger were in poor health and they needed a lot of medicine.
Not only was the medication cut off, but they were sent abroad. After these problems, their health
was even worse. Just when Lynette's father's leg had finally recovered a little, it was now back in its
original state. It was really sad.
But she couldn't put all the blame on Jacqueline because their daughter, Lynette, was part of it too.
If Lynette didn't believe Jacqueline so easily, they would still be in the hospital now.
"Henry, can I have this?" Yvonne held up the document.
Henry squinted his eyes. "What do you want this for?"
"I want to show this to Lynette and let her see what she has done with her choice," Yvonne replied
with a long face.
Henry nodded. Sure."
"Thank you." Yvonne put away the document and thanked him.
Henry pulled the tie around his neck. "Let's go to the nursing home."
"Okay." Yvonne nodded and went out with him.
It was almost noon when they arrived at the nursing home.
Yvonne stood in front of the old man's ward, hesitating to enter.
As soon as Henry looked at her guilty face, he knew what was wrong with her.
She was afraid that the old man wouldnât see her after what happened yesterday.
"Why are you standing there? Come in," Henry urged.
Yvonne shook her head at him. "I-I'm afraid!"
"Brace yourself!" Henry gave her a look of disgust.
Then, he took her by the wrist and pulled her into the ward.
In the ward, the old man was lying on the bed, talking t o Federick who was standing at the side.
Seeing the two of them come in, the old man and Federick stopped talking.
"You came?" the old man said weakly.
Yvonne took a quick glance at him. After seeing his pale face, Yvonne's heart was filled with
sadness. â Grandpa..."
The old man smiled at her.
The smile was as kind and gentle as ever, but it made Yvonne feel even more guilty.
She squeezed her palms tightly and could no longer suppress her inner feelings. She threw herself
in front of the old man's bed and then knelt down.
Everyone was surprised by her kneeling.
Not just Federick, but Henry too. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Yvonne Frey, what are
you doing?"
The old man looked at Yvonne in surprise too. "Yeah, girl. What are you doing? Get up quickly."
He reached out to pull Yvonne up.
Yvonne shook her head and didn't want to get up. " Grandpa, I didn't mean it. I didn't know the soup
was poisonous. Iâm sorry that I hurt you, Grandpa."
The old man listened to her apology. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed, "So
it's about this. Get up now. I didn't blame you and I knew from the beginning that it wasn't you."
"Grandpa, you know?" Yvonne was slightly surprised.
She didn't expect that apart from Sue, the old man was the second person to believe that she was
innocent.
Even Henry didn't believe her at first, i
After comparing it in this way, Yvonne suddenly felt sad.
"Yes." The old man bent down to help Yvonne up. "I know what kind of person you are. I know very
well that you will not do that."
Yvonne's mouth shriveled with emotion. "Grandpa, thank you so much for trusting me, but I still feel
guilty. Although I wasn't the one who poisoned you, I brought the soup to you. I..." "It's okay." The
old man patted her hand and comforted her. "Even if you didn't bring the soup, I still couldn't escape
from it. If someone wants me to die, theyâll try every way to do it. Even if itâs not through you, there
are other ways still. It can't be avoided."
Yvonne lowered her head. "Itâs Jacqueline... she did it."
"I know, Henry told me last night." The old man nodded, then thought of something. He touched her
face with his hands. "Did Henry hit you yesterday?" 1
Yvonne took a glance at Henry and shook her head.
The old man didn't know whether to cry or laugh." You're still hiding it for him. What's so good about
this bastard?"
