Henry lowered his gaze. "I'm sorry, it’s my fault...”
Yvonne shut her eyes in pain as tears rolled down her face. "So you admit that you're the culprit who kidnapped me for my bone marrow?"
"Yes..." Henry responded in a low voice and avoided Yvonne’s eyes.
Yvonne smiled helplessly, "Henry, you’re so cruel.
Even if you really wanted my bone marrow to save Jacqueline, how could you use such a despicable method to kidnap me? You're the one who told me that you wouldn't want my bone marrow because of our baby. Why are you regretting it now?"
"Because Jacqueline couldn't wait any longer. Otherwise, she'd die," Henry continued telling lies.
Yvonne gradually lost her senses after hearing what Henry said. She grabbed the glass of water from his hand and splashed it at his face. Henry didn't expect that she would do this. He almost wanted to dodge it.
But right when he saw the sorrow in her eyes, he dismissed the idea of dodging it and sat still.
Boom!
The glass hit Henry's head and cut his forehead with blood flowing almost immediately.
Seeing that, Yvonne calmed down right away and sat u
p in panic. "Why didn’t you dodge it?"
Henry took a piece of tissue and casually rubbed off the blood on his face. "Do you feel better now that you've vented?"
Yvonne felt a squeeze in her heart. "So you didn’t dodge it because you wanted me to vent my anger?"
Henry hummed.
Yvonne bit her lower lip and said, "No. I'm even angrier now. Even if you do this, I will never forgive you, Henry. I hate you. Do you think Jacqueline's life is the only one that matters and not my child's? My child is gone, they’re gone!"
"I know, I’m sorry..." Henry apologized again.
Yvonne burst into tears and yelled, "So what if you apologize? My child won't come back anymore. He has become the victim of the relationship between Jacqueline and you. Are you satisfied now? Why did you sacrifice my child just to save Jacqueline? He's so young, he’s not even formed yet!"
Henry's heart trembled when he heard Yvonne's words.
It was true that the child was only two months old and he hadn't formed yet...
He was really surprised by the arrival of the child, but he wasn't as happy. But now, knowing that the child was gone, he felt a pain in his heart.
Seeing Henry's heavy eyelids and a deep breath of pain from him, Yvonne made an ironic remark," You're finally feeling sad for the loss of the child, Henry. You are such a hypocrite. I don’t even know why I fell in love with a man like you.”
Henry's pupils dilated. "What did you say? You love m e?" 2
Why didn't he ever notice that?
Although Henry was surprised, there was also a hint o f joy in his heart that he didn’t notice.
Yvonne looked up at the ceiling to hold back her tears. "Yes, I love you. That's why I took the courage to be your bride. I never said these three words to you because I am inferior. I was afraid I wouldn't get the same response from you and would get rejected. That i s why I always kept my feelings for you in my heart, but..."
She looked at him angrily with her face full of self-deprecation. "But because I love you, it was a misunderstanding that I married you for money. I even suffered three years of cold violence from you, but that's alright. I can wait. I don't mind waiting for the day where you'll think of me and come to me. But I have never expected that you only came to me for my bone marrow!"
Listening to her blame everything, Henry felt uncomfortable. The guilt and regrets gushed into him.
Because what Yvonne said was right. He was really sorry for her.
Henry's voice was a little dry, "Then tell me, what should I do?”
"Tell Yvonne the truth and seek justice for her," Shane replied.
Henry shook his head. "No, if Jacqueline finds out I was targeting Conrads because of this, she would do something outrageous." 2 "What about Yvonne then? Just let it be? Don't you forget that the Conrads are now her enemies. How can you help the enemy when you’re her husband? How d o you want her to feel about this? She's the victim in this situation." Shane felt unfair for Yvonne. 1
Henry pursed his lips, "I know, but she may seek revenge from the Conrads if I tell the truth. It doesn't matter if Dominic Conrad is the culprit, but Jacqueline is innocent too."
"Jacqueline is innocent?" Shane sneered. "Let's not talk about Jacqueline’s involvement in this matter. The fact that Jacqueline took Yvonne's bone marrow i s not an innocent act. Honestly, Henry, I feel sad for Yvonne for having such an indecisive husband like you!"
After speaking, Shane glanced at Henry coldly, pushed the door open, and entered the ward.
He let out a sigh of relief once he entered the ward. His expression changed immediately and shouted with a gentle smile, "Yvonne."
Yvonne looked blankly at Shane. "It's you..."
"It's me, does the wound hurt?" Shane walked to the bed.
Yvonne shook her head. "I don't feel anything."
"It's probably the anesthesia. Please lie down and let m e see if your wound is open," Shane said while putting down her medical record.
She didn't say a word and lay down obediently.
Shane lifted her patient gown and examined the wound carefully.
"Shane, I really do regret not listening to you...” Yvonne said suddenly.
