CHAPTER 324 THE OLD MAN'S ACCIDENT

"According to sir, master still hasn't woken up yet."

"He's still unconscious?" Yvonne clenched her fists as she was worried. "I must go and take a look."

With that said, she headed towards the foyer.

Sue grabbed her and said, "Madam, don't worry. There’s no use worrying so let's have breakfast first and then go to the nursing home to see the master after that."

"Has Grandpa been sent to the nursing home?" Yvonne asked.

"Yes, he was sent there early this morning and sir is still there with him. Madam, you should calm down and have breakfast first so you won't fall sick because of hunger even before master wakes up,” Sue persuaded.

After hearing this, Yvonne bit her lip and said, "Okay."

She reluctantly released her clenched fist and followed Sue to the dining room.

After breakfast, Yvonne and Sue set off for the nursing home.

Henry had mentioned the nursing home’s address on the phone call earlier. It was located in the suburbs of City C, which was quite a distance away from the city.

By the time Yvonne arrived, it had been two hours since her departure. Content is © by .

She carried a thermos container and successfully found the old man's ward along with Sue and the medical staff of the nursing home.

Henry was smoking outside the ward and she immediately noticed him. She ran over to him and called out, "Henry.”

Henry paused and turned to look.

When he saw her running fast and looking anxious, his eyebrows frowned slightly. "Slow down."

The ground was slippery but it seemed like she was not afraid of falling.

Yvonne heard him and obediently slowed down as she approached him. "Is Grandpa okay?"

"He's not awake yet." Henry put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.

Yvonne glanced at the door of the ward behind him and her face was full of worry. "How did Grandpa faint?"

He was obviously fine two days ago, but suddenly... 1

"He was provoked," Henry rubbed his temples as he replied.

Yvonne's face scrunched up. "Provoked?" "Grandpa happened to find out yesterday that something happened in the Lancaster Group, and his blood pressure had been a little high during that period so he fainted all of a sudden." Henry shut his eyes tiredly.

Yvonne finally understood-she looked at him worriedly. "So when you went back to the old house last night, it was because of Grandpa's accident?"

"That’s right."

Yvonne was silent for a moment. "No wonder I felt a little uneasy last night, that’s why..."

She suddenly paused and changed her question." Then did anything else happen other than Grandpa passing out?"

Henry shook his head slightly. "Not at the moment." "That's good to know," Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief. After asking about the old man, she started asking Henry again, "What about you? Didn't you rest at all last night?"

She felt sorry for him when she saw the dark circles under his eyes and the five o' clock shadow on his chin.

It had only been one night and his beard had already grown out, indicating how much pressure he was in last night.

Henry opened his eyes, and suddenly darkness flashed across his eyes. "How can I sleep when Grandpa’s still unconscious?"

"You're right..." Yvonne nodded, realizing that she had just asked a very stupid question.

"Grandpa might..." Henry adjusted his stance.

Yvonne quickly asked, "He might what?"

"He might have to spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed or wheelchair. Even though he did not suffer any physical injuries this time, his brain was affected and his body control has become slower now..."

When he said this, he suddenly hugged Yvonne and h e could not hide the guilt in his voice. "I let him down, I didn't send Grandpa here soon enough. If I did earlier, Grandpa might not have ended up like this."

"Henry..." Yvonne hugged him back in a daze.

It was the first time she saw him with such vulnerability.

She was used to his strength and coolness, and she was not used to this side of him.

Also, she wanted to tell him that none of this was his fault, but she did not know why she just could not seem to speak.

'Click!'

The door of the ward behind him suddenly opened.

Yvonne gently pushed Henry away as she turned to look. "Frederick."

Frederick was taken aback for a while. He then smiled and nodded, "Young lady, you're here too."

"Yeah, I came to see Grandpa," Yvonne replied.

Frederick smiled wider, "It just so happens that the master has just woken up."

"Grandpa is awake?" Henry's dark eyes lit up, and without waiting for Frederick to answer, he strode towards the ward.

Yvonne stretched out her hand as she tried to stop him, but it was too late and he had already entered the ward.

"Why are you so anxious?" Yvonne muttered.

Frederick chuckled, "Master is finally awake, so it's normal for sir to be so anxious. Madam, please enter and see the master."

"Okay, I'll head in now," Yvonne replied and entered the ward.

The ward exuded a faint smell of antiseptics. As soon as she entered, she subconsciously held her breath. After a while, she got used to the unpleasant smell and breathed out gently before feeling

completely relaxed.

"Grandpa," Yvonne greeted Grandpa who was in the hospital bed as she sat down and put down the thermos container in her hand.

The old man turned his head slowly, "Yvonne, my dear child, you're here." "Yes Grandpa, I've come to see you." Yvonne pulled out a chair and sat down by the hospital bed.

"Well, Grandpa's very happy," the old man smiled kindly.

Henry pointed at the thermos container that Yvonne brought. "What’s in there?"

"Sue made some soup for Grandpa." she stood up and opened the thermos before pouring it out in a bowl.

"Henry, help Grandpa up."

"Okay," Henry responded and helped the old man up.

The old man looked at the young couple who were getting along well. He was very pleased. "I'm so happy to see both of you so close now."

Yvonne looked at Henry subconsciously when she heard that.

Henry felt her gaze and the corner of his lips curled up slightly, but it quickly disappeared. "Well, as long as Grandpa’s happy. Yvonne, please feed Grandpa some soup while I try to find out more about Grandpa's situation." 2

"Okay, go ahead." Yvonne nodded.

Henry got up and went out.

By the time he came back, it had already been half an hour.

Yvonne came out of the bathroom after cleaning the container. When she saw him, she quickly put the container down and asked, "Henry, what did the doctor say?"

Henry shook his head calmly and did not answer. Yvonne felt her heart sink when she saw his somber expression.

Was it because of Grandpa's situation...

"Yvonne!" Henry interrupted Yvonne's thoughts.

Yvonne regained her senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

Henry looked at the old man and said to her, "Please excuse us, I have something I need to tell Grandpa."

Yvonne did not want to leave so she just stood still. The old man smiled at her and persuaded, "Yvonne, it’s okay."

"But..."

"Get out!" Henry repeated, but this time his tone was harsh.

Yvonne had no choice but to just grit her teeth and turn around to leave. Her steps were slow and heavy, just like her mood at the moment. She was just worried about Grandpa.

After leaving the ward, Yvonne leaned against the wall outside, just like Henry did, and waited quietly for Henry to come out.

Soon she could hear footsteps coming from the right. I t was Sue who was walking over with a handful of items. She was surprised when she saw Yvonne." Madam, why're you here?"
