CHAPTER 186 LEAVING THE LANCASTERS

After Yvonne heard that from Henry, she averted her gaze and recovered herself. "Nothing. I'm done applying the medicine for you now. Rest well."

She tidied up the medical kit quickly, got up, and prepared to leave.

Henry grabbed her hand. "Wait."

"Is there something else?" Yvonne retracted her hand.

Henry's eyes became slightly dull when he saw how she hated his touch. His tone became quite cold. "I want to tell you that the Conrads have emigrated."

"So?" Yvonne looked at him coldly.

Henry pursed his thin lips. "Things like that will never happen again from now on."

"What's the use of telling me about it now? It happened. So what if they leave? The damage is done, and my hatred toward them will not disappear even if they go abroad. Mr. Lancaster, I hope you understand that." After that, Yvonne did not linger there for long. She strode away.

When she went downstairs, Sue handed her a glass of milk. "Madam, why did you bring the medical kit downstairs?"

Yvonne only realized now that she was holding something in her hand. She patted her forehead in

annoyance. "I forgot to put it down."

"It's fine, just take it upstairs later. Madam, please drink the milk first.” Sue took the medical kit from her and put it aside softly.

Yvonne listened to her and held the glass of milk in her hand. She then sat down and drank it slowly.

After that, she put down the glass and fished out her phone from her pocket. She found the master's contact number and gave him a call. "Grandpa."

"Have you decided about it? Is it today?" the master asked her.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes."

"Fine. I actually planned to persuade you against it," the master sighed.

Yvonne lowered her eyes. "I’m sorry, Grandpa."

"Yvonne, what is there to be sorry about? Just like I said, we’re the ones who wronged you. When do you plan to leave?” the master asked her again.

"I’ll leave in the afternoon."

"Alright. I'll ask Frederick to go and meet you as we have something to tell you about," said the master.

Yvonne was slightly curious. "Grandpa, what is it?"

The master chuckled. "You’ll know about it later.”

"Fine," said Yvonne in disappointment.

After that, she chatted with the master for a short while before hanging up the phone.

Sue served her a fruit tray. "Madam, was that the old master?"

"Yes." Yvonne put away the phone and made a reply.

"Is he coming over later?”

Yvonne ate the fruit and replied casually, "No, but Frederick is, saying that he has something to tell me."

Sue nodded. "I see. Then I'll go and clean the tea set so that I can brew tea for him later on."

"Alright." Yvonne smiled faintly.

After Sue left, Yvonne sat on the sofa alone, eating the fruit and thinking about stuff.

Half an hour passed. She thought that it was the right time. So she put down the fork and got up to go upstairs.

Henry was sleeping soundly in the room.

The medicine he ate had the side effect of making him fall asleep. But she was afraid that he might not b e sleeping soundly, so she only went into the room after a long period passed.

However, she was still slightly worried. She stretched her hand out to nudge him. “Henry? Henry?”

After calling after him twice, Henry still did not wake u p. Yvonne was assured that he was indeed sleeping soundly.

She retreated her hand and sat down at the bedside slowly. She then looked down at him passionately. It was the first time she looked at him attentively. In the past, she did not have such a chance, and she was afraid of looking at him closely for a long time. She only dared to fix her eyes on him like that at that moment. 1

He was truly a perfect man with his family background, appearance, capability. He was so much better than other men with various aspects. No wonder a lot of women fell for him. 1

But he had his shortcomings too, and the most obvious one was his characteristics. He was too cold and aloof, so much so that people might find him quite cruel and unapproachable.

In the past, she did not care much about that, and she even felt that it was rather cool of him. She just felt that he was only aloof. But given what happened recently, she realized that he was only being cold and aloof toward her, making her be filled with deep despair and pain.

When she thought about that, Yvonne took a deep breath and suppressed every single emotion which emerged in her heart. Then she bent down and forced back her tears before placing a kiss on Henry’s lips.

The kiss lasted for quite a long time, and it was around two minutes. Only then did Yvonne stand up and bid him goodbye with a soft voice. "Henry, goodbye!"

After bidding him goodbye, she was not at ease. On the other hand, she felt quite upset and grieved. 1

But she forced herself not to care about those things. I t was because she knew that she might be unable to leave if she did.

She then raised her hand to wipe her eyes with her sleeves. She let out a long sigh and tried her best to calm herself down. After that, she bent down and opened the drawer of the bedside cupboard. She took out the divorce agreement which she had prepared beforehand and put it there.

After that, she did not linger there anymore. She went t o the closet and took her luggage, walking toward the door.

When she reached the door, she stopped walking all of a sudden. At last, she turned around slowly and looked toward the man who was lying in bed. She looked at him for a long time. This belongs to .

Then she went downstairs with teary eyes.

"Madam, what are you doing?" Sue was cleaning up the house. She became suspicious when she saw Yvonne coming downstairs with a suitcase in her hand.

Yvonne sniffed her nose. "Sue, thank you for taking care of me for the past three years. I didn’t tell you all this while. Actually, I went to the family residence two days ago to tell Grandpa that I want a divorce. Besides, Grandpa approved of that. Now's the time for me to leave." "Divorce?" Sue was stunned. The cleaning cloth in her hand fell to the floor inevitably.

"Madam, don’t scare me. Did the master agree to that?"

"Yes. If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask about it," said Yvonne.

Sue could not help but believe what she said since she sounded quite determined.

Sue was upset just because she believed her. "I see. I thought that you’d given up the idea of divorce since you didn’t mention it for the past few days. But unexpectedly, you went and gained the master's approval secretly."

"I’m sorry, Sue. I didn't intend to hide it from you, but I'm afraid that Henry would know about my plan. So I didn’t tell you about it all this while," Yvonne said guiltily.

Sue sighed. "Madam, you didn't wrong me, so you don’t have to apologize to me. But you want to leave now. Does sir know about it?”

"He's unaware of it. If he knew about it, I might not be able to leave since he always rejects the idea of a divorce." Yvonne smiled bitterly.

Sue looked upstairs. She seemed to be slightly worried. "Since sir is against it, why do you persist still? What will happen to you after you divorce him? Are you returning to the Freys? Although they are your family, they are not so good either. You'll be bullied by them if you go home to them.”

"I know. But it’s fine. I won’t be going home to the Freys. I have someplace else to go. Sue, don't worry about it." Yvonne smiled faintly.

Sue noticed Yvonne's persistence and realized that it was useless no matter how hard she tried to persuade her against it. Yvonne wanted to leave no matter what. Therefore, Sue became quite anxious. “Madam, you better tell sir about it first before you leave.”

"No. I told you just now. If he knows about it, I might not be able to leave anymore." Yvonne shook her head.

"But..."

"That's enough, Sue." Yvonne interrupted her and looked at her solemnly. "Sue, I don’t want things like this to happen again, so I must divorce him. Besides, I don’t want to wait blindly anymore. I'm afraid that even if I keep on waiting, he still won’t see me or seem to notice me...”

Hearing that, Sue became too upset to say anything at the moment.

At that instant, the doorbell rang all of a sudden.
