CHAPTER 605 I WON'T GIVE UP

The emotion he showed felt like what she saw last night.

He was also feeling afraid last night.

Last night, she convinced herself that he was afraid of other things and it could not be because of her, but she could not lie to herself any longer. He was worried for her safety.

"Why bother?" Yvonne sighed when Henry did not answer her.

Henry continued to hold her in his arms and finally said, "Since you escaped the fire, why didn't you come back? Why didn't you contact me? I hadn’t brought Jacqueline back to the villa at the time."

"I lost consciousness after being washed away in the lake, so how could I contact you? When I woke up, I heard that you two got very close already," Yvonne said blankly while looking in front of her.

Henry was silent for a while before he asked, "Who saved you?"

"My brother did."

"Sam?"

"Yes!" Yvonne nodded.

Henry's eyes flashed.

No wonder Sam was so concerned about her at the beginning. He even went to see him at the Lancaster villa. He must have gone there to get information for her.

Although he felt uncomfortable about it, Henry was still very grateful that Sam appeared in the industrial area and saved Yvonne in time.

"What about the second fire?" Henry let go of Yvonne a little and looked at her cold face.

Yvonne lowered her eyes and sneered, "The second fire was on the day you brought Jacqueline back to the villa. When I found out about what you did, I went back to the villa to see you, but I ran into Jacqueline. I was knocked unconscious and she locked me in an abandoned building in the suburbs. She poured gasoline all over me to burn me alive. Luckily, Sam appeared again, so I managed to survive."

Henry's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard that.

It turned out to be that day!

"Although I didn't die, I was disfigured by the fire."

After Yvonne said this, she pushed him away and pulled up her shirt in front of him. She pointed to the large scar on her waist and abdomen as she said coldly, "Do you see this scar? This is what the fire left me with. If it weren't for Dr. Peter, my face would look like this ugly scar and I wouldn't be able to meet anyone."

Henry felt his head buzzing as he stared fixedly at the scar on her waist and his eyes turned red.

It was shocking to see that huge scar. He couldn't imagine the fire that engulfed her body, and how desperate and painful it must have been when she was burned by the fire. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

When she was burned by the fire, he was not by her side. The most ridiculous thing was that he was the one who sent the arsonist to her.

If he had not brought Jacqueline to the villa that day, she wouldn't have fallen into Jacqueline's hands and been burned again.

It was him. He was a murderer too!

No wonder she hated him. She should hate him!

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know!" Henry squeezed his fist and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged. He was obviously very emotional at this moment.

Yvonne pulled down her shirt indifferently. "You know now, don’t you? I swore to myself that as long as I survived the fire, I would definitely make those who caused me pain pay for all the suffering I went through. That includes you, Henry, but I changed my mind after that. For the sake of being the father of my child, I won’t seek revenge against you, but..."

Her eyes darkened. "But I also want you to lose your pride and understand what it's like to be abandoned. However, it seems like I didn't do enough last night. I could not bring myself to be mean to you, but I also came to terms with it. Since you've helped Theo get better, I won’t seek revenge against you. From now on, we no longer have anything to do with each other."

"Are you cutting me out of your life?" Henry narrowed his eyes.

Yvonne looked at him. "Of course. Do you think we can still go back to how we used to be?"

"Why not? I've always loved you. During my marriage with Jacqueline, I never ever touched her. You’ve always been the only one," Henry grabbed her shoulders and said anxiously.

Yvonne was taken aback as she stared at the man in front of her in awe.

He had never touched Jacqueline?

For a while, Yvonne felt a little joy in her heart, but she quickly suppressed the feeling.

"So what? Our relationship isn’t that simple. Even if you didn’t touch Jacqueline, do you really think we can be together just like that?" Yvonne said.

Henry clenched his hands. "Of course we can. We still have feelings for each other, don’t we?"

"Feelings aren't everything. Even if there are feelings between us, there are too many grievances and aversions between us. It's simply impossible. There are many people who love each other but just cannot b e together." Yvonne took his hand off her shoulder.

Henry gritted his teeth. "They have nothing to do with us. We're different."

"We’re not different." Yvonne looked away.

Henry said in a deep voice, "What about Theo? Don’t you want Theo to have a complete family?"

"You are Theo's father, and I am Theo's mother. Theo still has both parents, so it doesn't matter if he has a complete family or not, because I’ll always love him. He’ll be my only child now and forever," Yvonne replied.

Henry didn’t expect her to be so stubborn. His eyes darkened as he said, "So in the end, you still don’t want to get back with me?" 1

"I’m not your wife anymore. The moment you announced my death and annulled my identity, our marriage was over. Now, I’m just a woman called Shannon Smith, do you understand?" Yvonne looked a t him seriously.

Henry closed his eyes and opened them again. There was determination in his eyes. "I don’t understand. Whether you are Shannon or Yvonne, you're my wife and Theo's mother. The three of us will always be family."

"Are you trying to force me?" Yvonne frowned.

Henry rubbed his temples. "I will pursue you again. If you still don’t want to let go, I'm just going to make you accept me. Yvonne, I once said that when I fall in love with you, you'll be mine for the rest

of your life and only mine. I won't let you leave me."

She had been gone for six years, so he would never lose her for another six years.

When Yvonne heard Henry's domineering declaration, she was actually touched, but she was also resistant." So this is a threat after all."

"If you don't want me to force you, just promise me that you'll get back with me, and we'll get married again."

Henry continued, "I still have my wedding ring and the scarf you knitted for me. I still have it."

Scarf...

There was a flash of memory in Yvonne's eyes.

The scarf he mentioned was the scarf she knitted for him back then as a birthday present.

It was a pity that she got into the accident before she could give it to him.

"Why did you keep that thing? Didn't you forget about me? Why did you keep it then?" Yvonne asked mockingly.

Henry suddenly smiled. "Because I like it very much." Speaking of it, he did not know why he did that either. He had forgotten about her, but he still could not get rid of the things she left behind.

"Hah. So what? You won't like it forever," Yvonne muttered and her eyes looked gloomy.

After she said that, she took a deep breath and pointed to the door. "Mr. Lancaster, you should go now."

Henry frowned.

He didn’t want to leave, but by the looks of it, he knew she needed to calm down at the moment.

"Okay, I’ll take my leave, but I'll say this again. I won’t give up on you. Since you're back in my life, I'll make you come back to me."

After Henry said that, he walked towards the door, but he suddenly stopped in front of the door. "Although you said you don't want to know why I brought Jacqueline back to the villa, I still want to let you know. I did it because I wanted to get you a matching kidney, and Jacqueline's kidney matches yours!" "What?" Yvonne was shocked.
