CHAPTER 281 ANOTHER REASON

"She'll be fine," replied the doctor as he took out his pen and scribbled something on his notepad. "She's got a fever from being under the rain for too long, but she'll come around once the fever subsides."

"Ok." Henry nodded in acknowledgment.

Yvonne scanned Henry secretly and it was as she expected. The worried look on Henry's face had disappeared.

Feeling jealous, Yvonne walked out of the room, stomping the ground as she walked.

"Where are you going?" asked Henry.

Yvonne only continued to walk out without pausing or replying.

Sue was very unhappy when she saw Yvonne walk out and looked at Henry. "Sir, can't you tell that madam is angry?"

"Angry?" Henry was startled.

He honestly couldn't tell.

"What is she angry for?" asked Henry.

Sue sighed and explained, "How dense can you be to b e unable to even tell that madam is angry? Let me tell you then sir, madam is angry at you for being too concerned over Jacqueline."

Henry's eyes widened slightly. He had intended to explain that he wasn't actually overly concerned about Jacqueline.

However, the words wouldn’t come out of his mouth.

Sue shook her head as she saw Henry’s silence. She initially had a little confidence that he would be able t o do the right thing, but was proven wrong and could only walk out in disappointment.

She could not understand what sort of magic Jacqueline had.

'Sir has already fallen in love with madam, yet he is still unable to let go of Jacqueline.'

It was frustrating!

As Sue walked out of the room, she saw Yvonne sitting by the stairs looking sad. Sue was shocked and she quickly walked towards her and asked, "Why are you sitting here madam?"

"I was feeling a little faint, so I sat down to rest for a while,” answered Yvonne, her face pale.

Sue was immediately anxious at the news of Yvonne feeling faint. She quickly reached out her hand and placed it on Yvonne's forehead. “Let me have a look. D o you have a fever from standing under the rain and wind for too long?"

"I don’t have a fever, I just checked," said Yvonne with a smile.

Sue felt Yvonne's forehead and relaxed a little bit when found her words to be true. "Thankfully there’s n o fever, but we cannot let our guard down just yet. I’ll head to the kitchen and boil ginger for you to drink."

"It's alright Sue," refused Yvonne.

"I insist!" said Sue.

Yvonne couldn't dissuade Sue and was brought to the kitchen downstairs with her.

While Sue was busy in the kitchen, Yvonne waited by the kitchen door.

Soon after, a bowl of hot ginger was brought to Yvonne.

Yvonne thanked Sue and began to drink.

The drink had warmed not only Yvonne's stomach, but also the coldness she felt in her heart just now.

She put down the bowl and breathed in a breath of fresh air. The paleness from her face began to disappear and was replaced by a smile.

"Are you feeling better madam? Do you still feel faint?" asked the concerned Sue as she reached out and took the empty bowl from Yvonne.

Yvonne shook her head and said, "Your ginger drink worked wonders."

"That’s good then. It’s getting late, you should head to your room and rest." Sue took the empty bowl and started washing it.

Yvonne shut her eyes and said, "I can't sleep." "What's the matter?" Sue turned to look at her. "Are you unable to sleep because Jacqueline's here?"

Yvonne nodded without any intention to deny. "It’s not only that. It’s because of Henry as well..."

Sue got a shock as she was washing the bowl. "Sir... Madam, are you still thinking about what sir did..."

"Yes, I'm thinking about it, and I'm annoyed because o f it!" Yvonne’s nose twitched, and her voice was bitter. "Sue, do you know? I’m extremely angry when I think about how worried Henry was as he looked at Jacqueline. I'm not jealous. Henry can be concerned or worried about anyone other than Jacqueline. She's the only one that I cannot accept."

"I know, I know all about it madam.” Sue wiped off the water from her hands before reaching out to hold Yvonne’s. "However, you must not think too much madam. You’re the one that sir married, and you're the one he is in love with now. What sir had with Jacqueline is already in the past." Content is © by .

"It’s exactly because of this that I'm even more annoyed." Yvonne pulled her hands back, her words only had discontent in herself. "I actually don’t understand how Henry is able to say that he loves me, yet is still unable to let go of Jacqueline. Why doesn't h e just divorce me if he is unable to let go of her!"

Sue was shocked by her words and shushed her." Madam, you should not say such things, sir loves you for sure. As for Jacqueline... You should just treat it as him being an idiot and being unable to think clearly. The two of you have gone through so much to reconcile and become like a truly married couple. You shouldn't talk about getting a divorce because someone else is attempting to create a crack in your bond.” 2

"Crack... Hasn't it always been there,” said Yvonne mockingly.

Sue’s mouth opened wide as she heard this. She did not know what to say at that moment.

'She's right, the crack has always been there.'

Yvonne and her child were the main reason why the crack existed.

"Alright Sue, I'm so sorry you have to listen to me grumbling non-stop. I’ll head back to my room now. You should get some rest too," said Sue as she got up t o leave the kitchen. 1

Upstairs, Yvonne twisted the doorknob to open it. The lights were on in the room. Clearly someone was inside.

As to who was inside, there was no need for Yvonne to guess.

However, she was curious as to why he wasn't accompanying Jacqueline in the guest room.

Without thinking too much, Yvonne walked into the room and saw Henry entering from the balcony. He was holding a glass of red wine.

"You back?" he asked.

Yvonne looked at him and nodded in acknowledgment, then walked towards the bathroom.

Henry saw how cold she was and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, putting down the glass in his hands and walking to the bathroom as well.

Henry stood by the door and watched as Yvonne brushed her teeth. "Are you still mad?"

"No," replied Yvonne coldly.

Henry slightly raised an eyebrow.

How was she not angry based on her tone?

Henry massaged his temples which were aching and said, "If you're uncomfortable because of Jacqueline, I can ask someone to send her away."

"Uncomfortable?" Yvonne stopped brushing her teeth and rinsed her mouth before turning to look at Henry." Yes, I'm uncomfortable with Jacqueline here, but what about you? Aren't you going to explain yourself to me? Why are you so worried about her for example?

Henry's eyes lit up and asked instead of replying." What do you think the reason is?"

Yvonne said to him slowly and clearly, "Of course it's because you still love her.” "Impossible!" Henry answered without hesitating.

He was very sure of himself that he no longer loved Jacqueline.

Although Yvonne was shocked at Henry for being able to answer so quickly, it still wasn’t enough to cheer her up.

She took in a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling t o stifle her tears. "Since you said you don't love her anymore, why aren't you able to let her go and are still showing concern for her? I can tell that you still care for her."

Henry lowered his head so that his emotions were covered. "You're right, I do care for her still, but it's not because of love, it's..."

"What is it?" Yvonne stared at him deeply with a glimmer of hope in her heart.
