CHAPTER 159 ANGER
She would definitely avenge her child!
As for Henry...
She despised him to the core! Content is © by .
The man seemed to be able to tell Yvonne's intention t o get revenge and laughed mockingly, so much that it even confused her. "I'm very sorry but I can’t tell you. Rest well now."
He checked on Yvonne's IV drip, then left the room.
When Dominic saw the man come out from the room, he shook the ashes off from his cigarette. "She's awake?"
"Yes, boss."
"In that case, get someone over to take good care of her. After all, she did save Jackie. We won't be able to explain the situation to the Lancasters if something bad happens to her," Dominic instructed heavily.
"Got it, I'll make the necessary arrangements.” The man nodded then went off to carry out his task.
Dominic glanced at the door behind him, then sighed ruefully to himself, "Hey, don’t blame me, little girl. Your husband's sudden change in mind left me with n o choice but to do it this way."
After mumbling all that, he flicked away the cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot. Taking the phone out from his pocket, he searched for Henry’s number before dialing it.
"Henry, I heard that your wife is missing. Are you looking for her?" Dominic asked smilingly.
Henry narrowed his eyes slightly at the strange feeling that was bubbling up in his heart. "How did you know that Yvonne Frey went missing, Mr.
Conrad?"
It was at noon when the servant of the villa called him and told him that Yvonne Frey hadn't come back since she went out. He feared that something had happened to her while she was outside, and was also worried that something would happen to the child in her womb due to her recklessness. He tried calling her, but the call never got through.
Henry was starting to get anxious about not being able to get in touch with Yvonne. He sent Joe to the Freys, but they didn't know her whereabouts either. He ended up sending the servants of the villa to retrieve the recordings of the surveillance cameras around the villa, hoping to identify the car that she got on after leaving the villa. But instead, he saw the scene where Yvonne was kidnapped.
He kept a low profile and only instructed Joe to secretly send out a big search party to look for her, lest Yvonne's kidnappers discover his moves and do something unfavorable to her. Hence, Joe was the only person who knew about Yvonne’s disappearance apart from the servants at the villa. Yet Dominic knew about it and he couldn't help but get suspicious.
"Of course I know because she’s over here,” Dominic replied.
Henry was slightly taken aback by the answer, "Over there? For what? You were the one who sent your men to kidnap her?”
"How rude it is to say that I kidnapped her. I merely invited her over as a guest. You can come pick her up now.” Dominic immediately hung up after saying that.
Henry stared at his phone. There was a trace of anger hidden in his deep eyes.
Dominic invited Yvonne over as a guest. That just sounded strange to him.
Besides, why would you need to tie your guest up?
Thinking up to this point, Henry put his phone away and shouted at the office door, "Joe!”
Joe came in from outside. "Mr. Lancaster, what are your orders?"
"Call off the search for Yvonne Frey.”
"You found her?" Joe was surprised.
Henry pressed his lips, "Dominic just called to tell me that Yvonne Frey is with him and asked me to pick her up."
"Madam is with Mr. Conrad? Why would she be there?” Joe was extremely puzzled.
Henry took his coat off the rack. "We'll find out when we're there. Go and prepare the car."
"Right away." Joe turned around and left.
Henry put his coat on, then strode out of the office.
When they arrived at the Conrad Estate, Henry was led into the living room by a servant.
As soon as he entered, he saw Dominic sitting on the sofa while sipping on his tea leisurely.
However, there was no sight of Yvonne in the huge living room.
"Mr. Dominic.” Henry went straight up to Dominic without even beating around the bush. "Where is Yvonne Frey?"
"Henry." Dominic set his teacup down. "The first thing you ask as soon as you come here is Yvonne Frey and not Jackie?"
"I'll go up and see Jackie in a bit, but tell me where Yvonne Frey is first," Henry repeated his question with a rather impatient tone.
Dominic had only dared to speak to Henry as an elder because he knew the man still had feelings for his daughter. Even so, he didn't dare to really offend the man.
After all, the Lancasters were very powerful and the Conrads didn’t dare to risk it either.
Hence, Dominic gave in when he heard the impatience in his tone. He coughed twice and then instructed the servant behind him, "Bring Henry upstairs."
"Understood.” The servant accepted the order, then made a gesture to Henry.
Henry shot a vague look at Dominic before following the servant upstairs.
"Mr. Lancaster, Miss Frey is in here. You may enter by yourself." The servant stopped in front of a room, then left quickly after saying that to Henry, looking as though something was chasing behind her.
Henry pressed his lips in suspicion, then twisted the doorknob and went in without a second thought.
As soon as he entered the room, his nose was assaulted by a strong smell of disinfectant and the faint smell of blood.
The two scents instantly prompted Henry to stride quickly to the bed in alarm. His eyes instantly widened at the sight of the woman lying on the bed and staggered a step back.
Yvonne was lying on the bed with an IV drip. Her face was ghostly pale and her eyes were tightly shut like she was a corpse.
"How could this happen?!" Henry clenched his fists so hard that the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged, a clear reflection of how angry he was at the situation.
It was at this moment that he understood everything.
Dominic didn't invite Yvonne Frey as a guest here. He had kidnapped her here to get her bone marrow!
How dare Dominic Conrad actually do something like this!
Henry's knuckles cracked noisily as his eyes turned terrifyingly red.
He lifted the quilt covering Yvonne's body and as soon as he did, the scent of blood grew stronger. It seemed t o be coming from her belly.
He lifted her clothes up with his trembling hands and unsurprisingly saw her lower abdomen was all wrapped up in gauze. The gauze was already bright red, completely soaked with blood. It was a gruesome sight. It would seem like she was bleeding due to suture breakage.
It wasn’t difficult for Henry to figure out how she got the wound in the first place.
He went downstairs with a sullen expression, went up to Dominic, and punched him straight in the face." Dominic Conrad, how dare you do this behind my back!"
Dominic was knocked to the ground, where he wailed i n pain a few times before a servant helped him up. "0 h Henry, I knew you would be upset,” he flashed his teeth at the man.
Henry laughed angrily at his words, "You know I'd be upset, yet you still went ahead kidnapping Yvonne Frey here and forcibly took her bone marrow. Did you know that she’s pregnant?!"
Dominic pressed his tongue against his stinging cheek and said guiltily, "I know. The doctor told me."
His attitude pissed Henry off even more. "If you knew, then why did you do that?"
"I had no other choice! If I want my daughter to live, then I can only do something unforgivable to her," Dominic sighed. "I now understand why you suddenly changed your mind about having Yvonne Frey donate her bone marrow. It’s because she’s pregnant right?"
Henry remained silent in his anger.
Knowing that he had hit a nail on the head, Dominic bowed and apologized to him, "Henry. I know it’s my fault. I'm sorry that your child is gone but given another chance, I would still make the same choice. I can’t just watch my daughter suffer without doing anything. Can you understand how I feel as a father?"
