CHAPTER 542 ANOTHER LETTER

Although he thought so, Shane didn't have the intention to tell Henry.

He promised to keep this secret for Yvonne.

It was useless to tell Henry now. With his temper, once he knew that Theo was the child of the Lancaster family, Henry would surely take Theo back home. By that time, Anna, that little devil would bully Theo every day.

How could that happen!

Henry didn't know the frustrations in Shane’s heart. H e clenched his fists and asked with a dumb voice," How's Theo now?"

Shane replied coldly, "He won't be able to get out of bed for a few days at least."

Henry's heart throbbed. "Tell me Theo's ward number. I won't go in, I'll just look at him from the outside.”

He wanted to see the child. He really wanted to.

Shane refused again. "No. What if Theo's mother finds out and makes a big fuss in the hospital? Her family background isn't worse than yours, Henry."

Shane left Henry with no choice but to change his mind. "Then give me Theo’s mother's phone number, o r you can convey a message for me. Tell her that we should meet to discuss Anna's punishment."

"Why should I convey the message for you?" Shane squinted his eyes at Henry. "Don’t forget, we're no longer friends since six years ago. Since we're not friends, I don't have to do this favor for you. So, Mr. Lancaster, you'd better go back."

Henry stood still, his gloomy eyes staring at Shane tightly.

Shane felt a little pressure when Henry stared at him i n this way.

But this pressure wasn't enough to make him compromise. Content © 2024.

"Don't look at me like this. I won't agree, so instead of spending time with me here, you might as well go back and think about how you should deal with Anna. Perhaps Theo's mother will be satisfied with your way of handling Anna and cool down a little, then she'll meet you," Shane said the half-truth.

It was true that if Henry took care of Anna and made Yvonne satisfied, Yvonne would cool down and her anger would disappear.

And the fake news was that no matter how Henry dealt with Anna, Yvonne wouldn't meet Henry as Theo's mother.

He said so just to find a reason to send Henry away.

Henry wasn’t stupid either. Naturally, he could tell that Shane was driving him away.

He pursed his thin lips and said coldly, "Do you think I can't find them if you don't tell me? I'll immediately send dozens of people to search your hospital ward by ward. I don't believe that I can't find them with this method.”

Shane replied coldly, "Sure, if you’re not afraid that Theo’s mother will bring the Lancaster family down. Let me tell you this, Henry Lancaster. She has that ability and her family background isn't worse than yours, but I believe that you don't want the Lancaster family to be destroyed, right? Do you want to disappoint Master Lancaster?"

Henry narrowed his emotionless eyes without speaking.

Indeed, he couldn't destroy the Lancaster family.

After his parents passed away, his grandfather handed over the Lancaster family and the Lancaster Group to him. He promised his grandfather that he would inherit them, so he couldn't let the Lancaster family and the Lancaster Group be destroyed in his hands.

Shane noticed Henry's silence. He smiled as he pulled out a chair, sat back, and said jokingly, "It seems that you're giving in and you've dispelled the idea with your silence."

Henry didn't look at him and looked away coldly.

Shane's elbows were on the desk with his fingers crossed. He put his chin at the intersection of his fingers. "Henry, why must you see Theo's mother and

Theo? It’s Anna’s and those kids' fault. Even if you want to make amends to them, you don’t have to meet them. As long as you apologize sincerely, I'm sure Theo's mother can see it."

Henry lowered his eyelids, but he didn’t say a word.

Why must he see them?

Of course, because he wanted to.

There was a voice in his heart all the time, telling him that he had to meet Theo. It was a must.

But the world was tricky. The more he wanted to meet, the harder it was. Anyone who knew or had seen Theo was preventing him from meeting Theo.

"Well then, since you're silent, I have nothing else to say. You should go back and think about how to deal with Anna and those kids. Like I said, perhaps they’ll meet you when your way of dealing with those kids satisfies Theo’s mother," Shane once again issued an eviction order.

Henry really left this time and he left willingly.

After leaving the hospital, Joe opened the car door for him.

He sat inside and Joe came up afterward.

Joe curiously asked as he started the car, "Mr. Lancaster, did you meet Theo and his parents?”

Henry gently shook his head. "Shane refused to disclose their ward number."

Joe was surprised. "Why?” Did Theo's parents bribe D r. Summers too?"

Henry was noncommital. "Although I didn’t get to see Theo, Shane told me about Theo's current situation.”

Joe asked again, "How is he?”

Henry didn’t answer.

His spleen and stomach were bleeding. He was almost killed and urgently needed hospitalization. This was Theo’s current situation.

But he couldn't say a word.

Joe didn't get Henry's answer. He shrugged his shoulders and didn’t ask further. Instead, he changed the topic. "By the way, Mr. Lancaster. Someone passed me an envelope after you entered the hospital. It’s for you."

A letter?

Another letter!

Henry squinted his eyes. "Is it from Theo's mother?"

Joe looked at the road ahead seriously. "It should be. Theo’s mother sent someone to pass me the letter about revenge previously. I think it's the same this time."

The only difference was that the last letter was sent after the revenge.

This time, it was before the revenge.

Henry heard Joe’s words. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked, "Where’s the letter?”

"Here it is.” Joe released his right hand, reached out to the passenger seat, picked up the envelope on it, and passed it to Henry.

Henry saw it and took the envelope with his two slender fingers.

He first flipped the envelope back and forth. As expected, there was no address left on it. There was only one sentence: To Henry.

Moreover, the color, size, and shape of the envelope were exactly the same as last time. This proved that Theo's mother was the one who prepared this.

After confirming the person who prepared the letter, Henry didn't hesitate. He tore the envelope neatly.

With a flip of his wrist, the envelope was opened downward and the letter fell out.

There were two. One fell beside him, and another fell under his feet.

He threw the envelope away and picked up the paper next to it. When he saw it, he realized that it was a check!

A check for millions!

What was going on?

Why did Theo's mother put a check in the envelope?

Henry realized that there were a lot of articles in it and immediately said in a deep voice, "Stop the car!"

Joe was a little puzzled. "What's wrong, Mr. Lancaster?"

Henry didn't answer and only repeated the sentence," Stop the car by the roadside."

Joe didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately pulled the car to the roadside and stopped. Then, he unfastened his seatbelt and turned around to look at the back seat. When he saw the check in Henry's hand, he couldn’t help but wonder. "Mr. Lancaster, did this check come with the letter?"

Henry nodded and handed him the check.

Joe took a look and gasped, "1.4 million dollars. What a large sum of money. What exactly does this check mean?"
