CHAPTER 295 SHE WAKES UP

Joe lowered his head. "Yes sir, they had obviously come well-prepared, seeing how they used the bodyguard’s identity to register at the hotel. If we want to know what actually happened, we will need to wait for madam to wake up..."

His voice gradually softened until he could no longer continue on.

At that moment, the lights on the operating room dimmed.

Henry immediately stood up, his gaze focused on the operating room's door.

When the door opened, Shane appeared from inside with his mask on.

Henry asked, "How is she?"

Shane took off his mask and replied in a deep voice," Her situation is dire, she has multiple bruises all over her body, and she's even got a broken rib. She needs to be hospitalised for treatment."

Henry clenched his fist as he heard about her situation and punched the wall near him.

Shane coldly looked at Henry. "Henry, what happened to her? How did she get so heavily injured? She was just fine yesterday."

Henry pursed his lips and did not reply.

Shane grew even angrier from Henry's non-response. He grabbed onto Henry's collar and roared, "Henry Lancaster, are you able to protect her or not? If you aren't able to, you should've let her go earlier."

After hearing Shane's words, Henry turned to look at Shane, his eyes so cold it could send shivers down anyone's spine. "If I'm not able to, are you?"

Shane snorted, "At least I wouldn't cause her to be in danger over and over again."

He pushed Henry away and turned to return to the operating room.

The next time Shane came out, he had a hospital bed with him with Yvonne lying on it.

Yvonne had just come out from surgery and had bandages all over. It was heartbreaking.

Henry reached out his hand to touch her face.

However, before he could even touch her, his hand had been slapped away by Shane as he said, "She needs to rest now, I’m sending her to her ward."

After he spoke, Shane pushed Yvonne’s bed towards the ward area.

Although Henry very much wanted to substitute Shane and push Yvonne to her ward, he knew clearly that he was no doctor.

Therefore, he could only suppress his contempt for Shane and follow behind him to the ward with a dark

face.

At the ward, Shane had been chased out by Henry without remorse as soon as he had finished setting up the drips for Yvonne.

Henry sat by her bedside and gently took up the blanket and covered her in it. "Watch over Dominic Conrad for the next two days." 1

He said this to Joe who was standing behind him.

Joe thought for a while. "Mr. Lancaster, are you suspecting that it was Dominic Conrad who did this to madam?"

"It’s possible. Dominic had managed to get the opportunity to appeal in court. He might've ordered someone to do this to Yvonne since she refused to see him," said Henry coldly.

Joe adjusted his glasses. "I understand sir, but..."

"Speak." Henry glared at him.

Joe quickly replied, "Should I keep watch on Ms.

Conrad as well?"

"No..." Henry was just about to say there was no need t o watch her, but immediately thought of something and changed his mind as he pursed his lips. "Watch for a while and see if she has made any contact with Dominic between yesterday and today while you're at i t." "Yes sir," replied Joe. Content is © by .

At that moment, someone had knocked on Yvonne’s ward.

Joe went to answer the door reflexively.

Sue entered the ward and her eyes were red.

Obviously she had just cried before she entered. "Sir, i s madam alright?"

Henry only looked at Yvonne but did not reply.

How could she be alright? Her nose and face were bruised, and not a part of her body seemed to be safe from harm.

Sue saw that Henry did not answer her and walked towards Yvonne's bed to find out for herself. She felt heartbroken the moment she saw Yvonne’s heavily bandaged body. "Sir, who would have the guts to do such a thing to madam?"

"I’m looking into it," answered Henry as he pressed on his temples.

Sue couldn't hold in her tears and began to cry again." Poor madam. Sir, you must find the person who did this to her. You must do unto them what they had did t o madam, they must pay severely."

Henry's eyes narrowed as he had a dangerous look on his face. "You don't have to tell me that, I'll make sure they pay."

He already had the intent to murder the people who had tortured Yvonne when he saw how badly injured she was at the hotel.

Hence, there was no need for anyone else to remind him. He would never let those people off the hook easily.

"Then that’s fine." Sue nodded continuously.

Henry stood up and said, "I'll leave her under your care."

"Where are you going sir?" asked Sue as she stopped crying.

Henry looked at Yvonne and replied, "To investigate this matter."

"Alright, go ahead then sir, leave madam to me," said Sue as she wiped her tears.

Henry replied to acknowledge it and left after informing Joe.

Sue closed the ward doors and went to the washroom t o fetch a pail of warm water to wipe Yvonne's face.

Two days later, Sue was elated when Yvonne woke up.

"Madam." Sue immediately put down the kettle she held and rushed to Yvonne's bedside.

Yvonne opened her eyes, her body still weak. "Where i s this?"

Her voice sounded shrill. It sounded like a piece of wood being sawed.

"This is the hospital." Sue poured a glass of water and held it by Yvonne's mouth with a straw in it.

Yvonne sucked on the straw and sipped on the water. Her throat immediately felt better and her voice was n o longer shrill.

"I'm not dead?" Yvonne shifted her position in bed.

Her slight movement brought her immense pain so unexpectedly she groaned in pain. 1

"Stop it.” Sue put down the glass of water and looked a t her in disagreement. "Madam, what are you saying? How could you be dead? You're lying here perfectly fine."

Yvonne let out a weak smile. “I really thought I was going to die that time.”

"No you're not, you're completely fine." Sue caressed Yvonne’s head.

Yvonne closed her eyes. "How long have I been in a coma, Sue?"

Sue looked at the time. "Two days exactly."

"Two days?" Yvonne was startled. "I was out for so long."

"That's right, you really got me and sir on edge. We were both so worried for you," Sue sighed.

Yvonne realized that she had not seen Henry yet at the mention of his name. She opened her eyes and asked, "That’s right, where's Henry?" 1

Sue saw that Yvonne had asked for Henry so earnestly, she thought Yvonne missed him and smiled. "Sir is going around looking for the people who bullied you. He just left an hour ago."

"Quickly Sue, call him now and tell him I've woken up and I have something very important to tell him," instructed Yvonne.

Sue was curious. "What's the matter?"

"I'll explain later, just hurry up and call him Sue," instructed Yvonne again.

Sue nodded repeatedly before rushing off to get her phone to call Henry.

Henry felt as if a giant weight had been lifted off his shoulders when he heard that Yvonne had woken up. He had been on edge for the past two days and his face was constantly dark. Finally, he could relax.

His face became serious again when he heard from Sue that Yvonne had something important to tell him. "I’ll be right there."

After he said that, he immediately hung up the phone and grabbed his car keys from his desk and rushed to the hospital.

Half an hour later, Henry met Yvonne who was now wide awake.

The bandages on her body had not been removed yet, but her face was no longer as bruised as before and looked much better.

Seeing her now, Henry's murderous intent for the perpetrator deepened even more.

"You're awake?” asked Henry in a soft voice.

Yvonne could not move her head and could only reply, "Yes, you're here."

"You were going to tell me who it was that kidnapped you?" Henry sat by her bedside.

She had said that she needed to tell him something the moment she woke up.

Aside from this, he could not think of any other reason.

Unsurprisingly, Yvonne blinked her eyes and said," Yes."

"Who was it?" asked Henry as he looked at her.

Yvonne took a deep breath. “I'm not exactly sure who i t was. He didn't tell me his identity and I couldn't see his face either. But I do know that he's an old man wearing a mask."

"A masked old man?” Henry frowned his eyebrows.
