CHAPTER 502 IT'S AN ACCIDENT

She wanted to wait outside for Shannon to come out s o she could teach her a lesson.

But now she really couldn't wait. If she waited any longer, she was afraid that Shannon might be on Henry’s bed!

In the president's office of the Lancaster Group, Yvonne didn't know that Jacqueline was on her way t o look for trouble with her.

Henry put her on the sofa and she watched him make a phone call to a doctor. Her eyes flashed. "Mr.

Lancaster, do you think we'll be misunderstood?"

"Misunderstood about what?" Henry put down the phone and looked at her.

Yvonne put her hand on the armrest. "About our relationship, of course. Many people saw us when you carried me just now. They’d definitely be guessing what our relationship is."

"Let them guess," Henry replied and didn’t care about i t.

Yvonne chuckled lightly, "Mr. Lancaster, you're really optimistic. If they say that I’m the little lover you’re looking for, won’t your image be ruined?"

"No." Henry came over and sat down opposite her.

Yvonne looked at him. "Why not?"

"My employees don’t gossip and you’re not a little lover. I’ll let Joe explain later.” Henry poured her a glass of water.

Yvonne took it and casually said, "Well, please do, Mr. Lancaster, especially to Mrs. Lancaster. What happened today will definitely spread to Mrs.

Lancaster. You must explain it to her. Otherwise, she’ll misunderstand again.”

Henry frowned and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to care about her."

"Why?”

Henry’s thin lips moved. Right when he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.

Henry narrowed his eyes in displeasure, but he swallowed his words and said, "Come in!"

The person outside got his permission. He pushed the door gently and came in. He was a doctor in a white lab coat.

The doctor greeted Henry first, "Mr. Lancaster."

Henry pointed to Yvonne’s ankle. "Come here and examine her."

"Sure." The doctor took a look at Yvonne, thinking that this was the woman that Mr. Lancaster carried. She was really beautiful. No wonder Mr. Lancaster, who had never been close to any woman, was also attracted.

But she seemed familiar.

He couldn't remember where he had last seen her, but she looked really familiar.

There was no time for him to think about it. He quickly took off the emergency box on his shoulder and went forward to examine Yvonne’s ankle.

After the examination, the doctor nodded, turned around to open the emergency box, and searched for the sterilized iodine.

Henry stood aside and asked, "Is it serious?"

"It's very serious. Her bone is dislocated and she sprained her ligaments. She won't be able to walk properly for at least half a month, but luckily she didn't hurt her bones,” the doctor replied after he found the iodine.

Yvonne raised her eyebrows after hearing her injury and didn't say anything.

When Henry heard the doctor say that she didn’t hurt her bones, his expression relaxed a lot unknowingly, even his heart.

"Miss, I'll relocate your bones now. Please endure the pain,” the doctor reminded Yvonne gently while putting on a pair of medical gloves.

Yvonne nodded to indicate that she understood. Then, she took a deep breath, grasped the sofa tightly with both hands, looked at the doctor, and signaled that she was ready to start.

The doctor got her signal, reached out to hold her foot with some force, and twisted it fast and hard.

With a click, the doctor removed his hand from Yvonne's feet. "It's done."

Yvonne opened her eyes with her pale face-she still couldn't believe it. "It's done?”

The doctor said, "It's really done. Miss, you can try moving it."

Yvonne did as she was told and found that her feet could really move. A surprised smile appeared on her face. "It’s really fixed, but it still hurts."

"That's normal since you've injured your ligament.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Rest for about half a month and you'll be fine when the ligament recovers.” The doctor sprayed an analgesic on Yvonne.

Henry handed Yvonne a tissue. "Wipe your sweat.”

Upon hearing this, Yvonne raised her hand to touch her forehead only to realize that her forehead was covered with sweat.

It was the cold sweat from the pain during the bone setting earlier.

"Thank you." Yvonne took the tissue with a smile.

Henry hummed. His thin lips opened gently, and he looked at her with his complicated eyes. "You must've been in pain just now." "Huh?" Yvonne paused lightly.

Henry repeated, "I saw your painful face turn pale when the bone was set. Why didn't you scream out loud?"

Yvonne tilted her head. "Why should I scream?"

"Shouldn't you scream when it hurts?" Henry didn’t understand.

He didn’t know he felt that she should be the kind of person who would cry out in pain, unlike earlier when she gritted her teeth instead.

Yvonne lowered her head and smiled meaningfully. "I should shout when it hurts, but I won't do that."

"Huh?" Henry frowned in confusion.

Yvonne looked at her red and swollen ankle, and her voice was cold. "People who cry out when they're hurt are usually weak, but I'm strong, so I don't need to cry out. What's more, pain is nothing

to me. I've experienced more pain than this."

"More pain?” Hearing this, Henry suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Yvonne then said, "Yes, it was more painful than death. So compared with to kind of pain, this kind of pain is nothing.”

Henry asked, "Is that kind of pain related to the enemy you want to get revenge against?”

He saw her eyes flash with hatred when she said that the pain was worse than death.

Yvonne said, "Yes, it has something to do with my enemies because they’re the ones who caused that kind of pain."

Henry pursed his thin lips and didn't speak. He couldn't help but feel disgusted with the enemy she mentioned. 1

What did the enemy do to her?

The doctor who was quietly putting the medicine for Yvonne beside her shrank his neck when he saw that the atmosphere suddenly became depressing. He tried to reduce the size of his existence.

When Yvonne was done taking the medicine, he left a few bottles of medicine for later use and quickly found an excuse to leave.

Not long after he left, Joe came in, looking angry. "Mr. Lancaster, the cause of the elevator accident has been found."

Henry's eyes sharpened. "What's the reason?”

Yvonne looked at Joe too because she wanted to know the answer.

Joe sighed, "The accident this time isn't man-made. The main reason is that the rusty elevator pulley hasn't been lubricated for a period of time, so the chain isn’t smooth when the elevator goes down."

"Rusty pulley?" Henry's face darkened. "How can it rust? What's going on in the maintenance department?”

Joe said, "It's the maintenance department’s fault because the elevator is specially for you, and the carrying capacity is the lightest. It's also the least prone to accidents, so the maintenance department slacked and didn't check regularly."

Henry clenched his fists and said, "This is absurd! Send a notice saying that everyone in the maintenance department will be dismissed and the industry will be informed that no one is allowed to hire them!"

They slacked just because it was prone to accidents. Who dared to hire such people?

Fortunately, only the pulley was rusty. If the chain broke, who would be responsible for the consequences?

Besides, he wasn't the only one who took the elevator today, but also Miss Smith, the daughter of the Smith family. If something happened to her, the Smith family wouldn't let it go so easily.
