CHAPTER 161 HER HATRED

Although Jacqueline was very dissatisfied with his cold attitude toward her, she could only brush it off with her own purpose in mind. "I'm sorry Henry, I heard everything from my dad. He kidnapped Miss Frey and even... I'm sorry, I'm the reason that your child is gone..." she cried.

Henry tightened his grip on the phone, "Did you call m e just to say that?"

Jacqueline cried so hard. "I just want to apologize to you and Miss Frey. I really have no idea why things turned out this way..."

"Are you done?" Henry asked.

Jacqueline froze for a moment, suddenly at a loss for words.

That was quite an unexpected reaction from him.

She apologized and even cried so hard. Shouldn't he b e comforting her?

Henry didn't know what was going through Jacqueline's mind. He just continued speaking in an indifferent one, "If you're done then go rest up. I'll hang up now."

He ended the call and dropped the phone on the seat next to him.

The driver, Joe, heard the noise and stole a glance in the rearview mirror. He didn't dare to speak, but he felt very sorry for Yvonne.

He really didn't expect something like that would happen to her or the fact that the Conrads would bring themselves to do something like that either.

Joe even wondered if Mr. Lancaster would take revenge on the Conrads this time. He reckoned that he probably would since this involved his own child.

"Mr. Lacanster, shall we go to the hospital?" Joe gathered his thoughts and asked softly.

Henry snapped back to his senses and recalled the wound on Yvonne's stomach. He pursed his thin lips and said, "Yes."

"Okay," Joe responded and silently accelerated the car.

Henry lowered his gaze at the woman in his arms, with deep guilt swimming in his eyes.

He could imagine how she would react when she woke up. Maybe she would blame him or hate him.

No matter which it was, he would accept it. Whatever he owed her, he would definitely make up to her!

It didn’t take too long before they arrived at the hospital.

While they were on the way, Joe had already called Shane and asked him to arrange an operating room.

Shane did as instructed and then went on waiting at the hospital door, wondering what just happened.

The sight of Henry getting out of the car carrying an unconscious woman shocked him. He quickly went u p to him. "Henry, what happened to her?"

Henry didn't answer his question but laid Yvonne on the hospital bed and followed the nurses to the operating room.

Shane had no other choice but to find out the truth from Joe.

Joe hesitated but still told Shane the incident in the end.

The story left Shane speechless for a long time before he stormed off to find Henry.

He grabbed the man who was waiting outside the operating room by his collar and questioned him loudly, "Tell me, Henry, how do you plan on dealing with this matter?"

Henry merely stared at the operating room's door and didn't make any response.

That pissed off Shane even more. "Henry, are you listening to me?"

“I heard you. I'll shoulder the responsibility for everything," Henry pulled his collar out of Shane's grip and replied coldly.

Shane was dumbstruck by his answer. "You'll shoulder the responsibility for everything? In other words, you’re planning to defend the Conrads?”

Henry fell silent.

Shane knew that it was a silent admission. The expression on his face instantly turned ugly. "Henry, are you out of your mind? Do you know what you are doing? The Conrads kidnapped your wife and forcibly took her bone marrow. They even killed your child. Yet you still choose to defend them?”

"I know what I'm doing. My mind is extremely clear. If I don’t do this, Jackie will do foolish things to herself," Henry said in a low voice.

Shane reacted as though he had just heard the joke of the century. "She'd do foolish things? You're the only one who would believe that. Henry, have you ever considered how unfair your decision to protect the Conrads is to Yvonne? Her bone marrow was taken against her will and she lost her child in the process. D o you know how much despair she'll be in when she wakes up?"

"I know."

"If you know then why are you still doing this? You've lost your mind, Henry!" Shane clenched his fists, wishing so badly to sober up his stupid friend with a hard punch, i

Henry snapped his eyes close. When he opened them again, they were filled with indifference. "I haven't lost my mind. I'll tell her that this whole thing is my idea. If she has to blame someone, then she can blame __ n

me.

"Heh, do you think this can make up for what she has gone through?" Shane sneered. "In your heart, Jacqueline is more important than everyone else, right? If you cared about her this much, then why didn't you donate your bone marrow instead of sacrificing Yvonne and the child in her womb? Henry, don’t you think you're shameless?"

"If my bone marrow was suitable, I naturally would have donated it." Henry gritted his teeth.

Shane took off his glasses and rubbed his face roughly, trying his best to suppress the anger welling u p in his heart. "Okay, whatever you say, Henry. I hope you remember what happened today and won’t regret i t in the future."

Having said that, Shane opened the operating room’s door and went in.

Henry sat down on a chair at the side and dropped his gaze.

Regret?

Would he regret it?

Henry mulled over the question seriously.

In the end, he realized that in the past, he could definitely say that he’d never regret it. But now, he wasn't certain anymore...

Henry lowered his head slightly and waited for Yvonne’s surgery to end. About an hour later, the operating room door swung open.

Several nurses pushed Yvonne out. He quickly got up and went up to them. "Is she okay?"

"The open wound on her stomach has been re-sutured, but the doctor who performed the abortion on her was very rough and damaged her uterus. It may be difficult for her to get pregnant again in the future. Please be mentally prepared," the nurse answered politely, then pushed Yvonne into her ward.

Henry's face paled slightly.

What was that?

It would be difficult for Yvonne Frey to get pregnant again in the future?

"So you heard what the nurse told you just now?" Shane came out of the operating room while taking off his mask.

Henry looked at him. His thin lips moved slightly as h e tried to say something, but realized that he couldn't find his voice.

Shane sneered coldly at him. "Henry, you really have a heart made of stone!" 1

After saying that, the doctor turned around and walked away from him.

Henry stood rooted to the spot in a daze for a while. When he finally regained his senses, he quickly went t o Yvonne's ward and stayed by her side for several hours.This belongs to .

When Yvonne woke up, she found herself in another new location but was no longer surprised. She didn't even care where she was anymore.

She couldn't feel anything aside from the grief of losing her child.

The thought of the fetus that had only been in her womb for two months left her in tears again.

It was her sobbing that startled Henry awake from his sleep. A happy look flashed across the man's eyes when he saw Yvonne who had woken up.

"You're awake,” he said hoarsely.

Yvonne's sobbings immediately ceased when she heard his voice. She turned around to look at him with hatred-filled eyes.

It was so intense that it even startled Henry for a moment.

She hated him?

He did expect that she would blame him when she woke up, but he never thought that she would hate him!

But of course, it was only natural for her to hate him after going through something like that.

"Are you thirsty?" Henry asked softly.

Yvonne continued staring at him intently without speaking.

Henry didn't bother to repeat his question. He just got up and poured her a glass of water. Seeing that she was lying down, he thoughtfully put a straw in the glass before offering it to her. "Have some water.”

Yvonne turned her face away and rejected his kindness. "Why are you doing this?" she asked coldly.
