CHAPTER 48 A FAMILIAR FACE

This was an extremely important matter to him.

It was the biggest factor that would decide if the Conrad family could get on the Lancaster family's huge ship.

Likewise, Shane was also staring at Henry intently.

He also wanted to know Henry’s answer.

Henry held the gaze of the four eyes in front of him indifferently. He moved his thin lips and was about to speak when a petite figure flashed across his mind. It moved so fast that he could barely catch a glimpse, yet it bothered him greatly.

Who was that?

"Henry?" Dominic couldn't help but call his name impatiently when he saw Henry lower his head, seemingly lost in his own thoughts instead of answering his question.

Henry frowned at being interrupted in his train of thought and even spoke harshly. "What is it?" exclusive content.

“About the question now..."

"It's no longer possible for Jackie and me," Henry sidestepped the question.

Yet his answer made Dominic even more panicked.

No longer possible?

Did Henry mean that he would never get back together with Jackie even if he still had feelings for her?

Then what would happen to the Conrad family who had been declining over the past few years? Without a backing, they would eventually have to withdraw from the top ten influential families in Vancouver. There was no way he could allow that to happen!

Dominic hurriedly took a step forward and stood in front of Henry, "What do you mean by no longer possible, Henry? The fact that you care so much about Jackie means that you still have feelings for her.

Jackie has also always been..."

"Mr. Conrad!" Shane interrupted him with a smile, then pulled him aside. "Mr. Conrad, I'm sure you heard what Henry said just now. It's no longer possible for Jacqueline and him because he's already married. Master Lancaster even personally arranged the marriage, so you should perish the thought of that. Isn't that right, Henry?"

Henry nodded slightly, "Yeah!"

It was true that he still had feelings for Jackie, but he didn't plan on getting back together with her again. 2

His marriage was only one of the reasons. The other reason would be he didn’t want to repeat the same mistake from three years ago.

"So it's really no longer possible?" Emotions wavered 0 n Dominic's wrinkled face. He wasn't willing to give up.

"Yeah,” Henry still gave him the same answer.

Dominic finally shut his eyes in resignation and smiled bitterly. "If that’s the case, then I won't force it t o happen. But what should Jackie do in the future?"

"Why not just continue her dancing career? In any case, dancing has always been her top priority," Shane blew on his nicely manicured nails, not bothering to hide the mocking tone in his voice.

Shane had only looked down on Yvonne at most in the past.

But he totally despised Jacqueline and the Conrad family since before. 1

He was beyond disgusted by the way Dominic and Jacqueline handled things. If it wasn’t for Henry, he would never even want to talk to Jacqueline.

Compared to her behavior three years ago, Yvonne Frey was a total saint! 1

"I am a failure of a dad." Dominic felt ashamed by Shane's words, but was raging deep down in his heart. However, he concealed his anger very well and didn’t show it on his face.

"Why are you telling me that? You should tell that to Henry and Master Lancaster," Shane pointed to Henry.

"Enough!” Henry looked at him sourly. "Are you too free?" "Not really, that's why I'm about to get going." Shane shrugged, then straightened up and walked away with a smile.

Henry retrieved his coat from the rack and draped it over his arm casually. "I'll be heading upstairs now, M r. Conrad."

"I'll join you," Dominic also put on his coat.

A look of surprise flashed across Henry's eyes, "You'll come too?"

"Yeah.” Dominic picked several boxes of very expensive supplements and explained, "Yvonne Frey saved my daughter's life, so I should visit her and personally thank her."

Henry initially wanted to refuse, but then changed his mind.

All because he suddenly realized that he was in no position to refuse on Yvonne’s behalf.

After all, she was the one who donated her bone marrow. He didn't have any right to stop anyone from expressing their gratitude to her.

At the thought of that, Henry just led the way without saying anything else.

While they were on their way to her ward, Dominic kept asking him questions to find out how he met Yvonne and how they got married.

Henry responded curtly most of the time. By the time they arrived at Yvonne's ward, Dominic was really frustrated when he realized that he had barely found

anything useful after asking so many questions.

"Sir, you're here." Sue opened the door and showed some attitude to Henry when she saw him.

In any case, she was a senior staff in the Lancaster family. She wasn't afraid of anything since it was Master Lancaster who had specifically arranged her to serve Yvonne.

Henry just brushed off Sue’s impoliteness. He nodded t o her and entered the ward.

Dominic smiled at Sue and followed behind Henry too.

Sue took a few more looks at the man and thought that he looked familiar, yet she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

"Is that the new chauffeur that sir hired?” Sue mused t o herself as she looked at the big and small bags Dominic brought with him.

Since Sue wasn't speaking that softly and Dominic hadn't gone that far yet, he nearly tripped when he heard her words.

"Henry." Yvonne already knew that Henry was here, but she couldn't lift her head up. She could only turn her head to look at him when he got closer. "You've come."

"Yeah," Henry nodded slightly. His heart and voice softened when he saw her pale face and pitiful state. " Are you feeling better?" "So much better," Yvonne replied with a smile.

To be honest, she didn’t feel much better. She just had surgery done yesterday. Even if she could recover quickly, there was no way she would be better in just a day.

Her entire body hurt. Aside from being able to move her neck, she couldn't even go to the toilet by herself.

She had only answered that because she didn't want t o worry Henry, even if she wasn't sure if he would be worried about her in the first place.

"Huh?" Yvonne's attention was drawn to the man behind Henry. "This is..."

"Hello, Miss Frey.” Dominic set the supplements he brought with him down, then approached the side of the bed with a smile and introduced himself. "I'm Jacqueline's father.”

"Miss Conrad's father?" Yvonne was surprised.

Why was Jacqueline's father here?

"He's here to thank you," Henry took the initiative to explain when he saw Yvonne's confusion.

"That's right," Dominic quickly nodded. "Miss Frey, thank you very much for saving my daughter. I really don't know how to express my gratitude. After giving i t some thoughts, I decided to bring you some supplements. I hope they will be of use to you."

"You're too kind, Mr. Conrad." His sincerity made Yvonne so shy that even her cheeks turned red. "I actually didn't do much. I'm just glad to be able to save

Miss Conrad."

Those weren't fake words.

She didn’t like Jacqueline and had only agreed to donate bone marrow for her own selfish intentions.

Even so, she still felt good after learning that her bone marrow had indeed saved a life.

"Miss Frey, you’re really a kind woman. No wonder why you are favored by Master Lancaster," Dominic praised her.

Yvonne smiled shyly but didn't continue the conversation.

Henry's eyes turned dark when he looked at her.

"Mr. Conrad, please have a seat," Yvonne pointed to the chair at the side when she realized that the man was still standing.

Dominic thanked her and sat down. After that, he kept staring at Yvonne's face intently with his eyebrows knitted together.

Yvonne grew uncomfortable under his stare, so she tugged the hem of Henry's shirt, hoping that he could save her from her plight.

Henry moved to the left naturally and shielded her behind him. "What are you looking at, Mr. Conrad?"

He looked at Dominic calmly, but with displeasure in his eyes.

Dominic would usually just laugh it off and stop staring, but not this time. He looked past Henry and continued staring at Yvonne. "Miss Frey, you somehow look familiar to me."
