Yvonne replied casually, "I found them in the Conrad Estate."
Sue nodded didn’t ask any further questions. After putting down the time capsule in her arms, she poured Yvonne a glass of water.
Yvonne happened to be thirsty. She took a few sips and asked, "Is Henry back?" 2
Sue replied, "I haven't."
Yvonne frowned. "He's not back yet?"
Sue checked the time and said, "Yeah, but he should b e home soon. He's been out the whole day."
Yvonne thought the same, so she asked another question, "Where's Theo?"
Sue said with a smile, "Theo's with the young Mr. Lancaster."
Yvonne put down the cup in her hand. "I'll go and have a look. Sue, help me put this in my room."
She pointed to the time capsule.
Sue answered, "Okay, madam. Go ahead. I'll keep this nicely for you.”
"Thank you." After thanking Sue, Yvonne went to Elliot.
When she reached Elliot’s room, she heard Elliot's voice coming from inside.
Elliot said softly, "Theo, please call Uncle once again. Please."
Yvonne raised her eyebrows.
Once again?
Did Theo just call him Uncle?
Thinking of this, Yvonne knocked on the door.
The person inside the room heard the knock and immediately said, "Come in.”
Yvonne pushed the door and went in.
Elliot saw her. "It's you."
Yvonne said with a smile, "I just heard you asking Theo to call you Uncle. Did Theo call you Uncle before?"
Elliot tapped on Theo’s forehead and said helplessly," Yes, he called me once and then he stopped."
Yvonne's smile grew wider. "It's okay. When Theo can speak, he'll call you often, right Theo?"
She walked over and rubbed Theo’s hair.
Theo looked up at her and suddenly stretched out his arms for a hug.
Yvonne bent down and picked him up. "Elliot, is Theo disturbing you?"
Elliot said while looking at Theo, "Nope, I like this kid a lot. I asked Sue to bring Theo over to keep me company.”
Yvonne nodded. "It's good to know that he's not disturbing you. You're in the recovery period now, so I'm afraid he'll affect your recovery.”
Elliot waved his hand and didn't care. "I'm not that weak.”
At this time, a servant knocked on the door and came i n with medicine.
After seeing it, Yvonne bid goodbye, "Alright, Elliot. You should rest after taking the medicine. I'm taking Theo back to the room now. See you tomorrow."
Elliot agreed. "Okay."
Yvonne left his room with Theo in her arms and went t o her room which opposite to Elliot's.
After putting Theo on the bed, she took out her phone t o call Henry to ask about his situation over there.
The call got through this time, but no one answered, which made her a little worried.
Yvonne put down the phone and said to Theo, "I'm not sure how your daddy's doing now."
Theo stopped playing with the Rubik's Cube and shook his head.
Looking at his action, Yvonne guessed, "Is Theo saying that Daddy is doing okay?"
Theo nodded.
Henry pulled a chair for her. "Have a seat."
Yvonne sat down and said, "How is it? Has Jacqueline been arrested?"
Henry nodded under her gaze. "Yes, she was caught in the middle of the night."
Yvonne almost jumped up in surprise, but she forcibly held back and asked, "Why in the middle of the night?"
Henry explained briefly, "Jacqueline hid well with the leader and was ready to escape secretly, but the military dog found her in the end, so she was arrested."
Yvonne held her palms together excitedly. "She deserves it. I don't believe that she's always that lucky to be able to escape. Where's Jacqueline now?"
Henry answered her, "At the police station. She's been detained temporarily."
Yvonne got up and said, "I'm going to see her."
Henry held her. "You can't see her right now. The people in the organization are all in quarantine and no one's allowed to see her. They won't start the trial until a few days later when it’s been confirmed that they're not infected."
Upon hearing this, Yvonne sat back in disappointment. "I see..."
Henry patted the back of her hand. "Don’t worry, Jacqueline has been arrested and she can’t run away. After they confirm that she's not infected, the court
will hold a trial for her. You can see her then.”
Yvonne asked again, "I know. What about the leader?"
Henry's face became stern. "The leader has also been quarantined and will be on trial in a few days."
Yvonne said, "Like Jacqueline, he can’t escape the death sentence, right?"
Henry took a sip of tea. "Maybe."
The leader robbed such a dangerous virus and used it t o retaliate against society. His crime was extremely heinous and he would definitely end up with serious consequences.
Moreover, it wasn't known whether there were any infected patients in the public yet. If there were, then Vancouver would suffer, and the leader's plan to retaliate against society would succeed.
Yvonne looked at Henry’s flickering eyes. She knew what he was thinking and sighed, "Let's wait for a few more days. If there’s no news of infection in the public, it means that the virus only spread in the organization and it hasn't spread into the public yet."
"That's what they said too. It’s up to Shane now. I wonder what the progression of the vaccine is like." Henry squinted his eyes.
