CHAPTER 606 AN AVERAGE HUMAN BEING

Henry went on. "Before I came to see you today, I had already contacted Shane. He told me that your other kidney is failing as well, so I must find Jacqueline and get you a kidney transplant. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you."

After he said that, he opened the door and walked out.

Yvonne stood still while looking toward where he was leaving. For a long time, she could not calm her emotions. 1

It turned out that he already knew Jacqueline's kidney was a match six years ago, and he wanted Jacqueline to donate her kidney back then.

If that was truly the case, did she misunderstand him six years ago? 1

He didn't take Jacqueline back to the villa because she died and he wanted to rekindle his relationship with Jacqueline, but he did that because of her.

For a while, Yvonne's mind just kept buzzing. She rubbed her temples as she sat back on the chair feebly. She was at a loss.

After a while, her cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Yvonne reluctantly raised her gaze and looked up. She felt better when she saw it was Sam calling. She

picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Brother..."

"Shan, Henry just contacted me and thanked me for saving you back then. Has he already..."

"Yeah." Yvonne nodded.

Sam exhaled, "He finally regained his memory."

"Other than thanking you, what else did he tell you?" Yvonne asked.

Sam smiled, "Nothing much. He gave me a foreign trade port to thank me for taking care of you and your son over the past few years."

"The trade port? Is it the one at the customs?" Yvonne looked slightly surprised.

"Yes, he really spent some big bucks this time just to thank me," Sam sighed.

Yvonne's lips moved, but she was suddenly at a loss for words.

Indeed, Henry would lose a lot by giving away the trade port.

Normally, trade ports were state-owned, and there were very few privately-owned ones. The Lancaster family only had five trade ports, and each trade port was like a pillar that supported the group.

Now that Henry had surrendered one of the pillars, it meant that the Lancaster Group had just suffered a major loss, and their annual revenue would be much

lesser now.

If Henry had not been the majority shareholder who held the most shares, the Board of Directors would probably kick him out for giving the trading port away.

"Shan, why aren't you speaking?" Sam asked when Yvonne did not respond to him for a long time.

Yvonne shook her head. "Nothing, I'm just surprised."

"Yeah, I'm surprised too. He’s willing to give up so much for you and Theo, and that shows how sincere h e is," Sam said. "I’ll return the trade port to him.”

Yvonne bit her lip. "No need, brother. Just take it."

"Hmm?" Sam was stunned to hear that. "I should take i t?"

"Yes. Theo is his biological son and you took great care of Theo. As a father, he should give you some form of compensation anyway, so you don’t need to return the trade port to him. Just keep it. I know him well and he’s the type of person who doesn't like owing people favors. So, even if you don't want to accept it, he’ll find some other way to give it to you," Yvonne explained.

Sam was silent for a moment. "After six years, you still know him so well."

"He’s my enemy, so of course I have to know him well," Yvonne said with a gleam in her eyes.

Sam smiled, "Really? He’s just an enemy, yet you still understand everything about him. Isn't that because

you still love him?"

Yvonne clenched her hand that was holding the phone. "I don't..."

"Fine, you can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to me. If you don't love him, why do you have to seek revenge against him that way? After making him fall in love with you and confessing his feelings for you, you rejected him to embarrass him. That is extremely childish,” Sam criticized her mercilessly. 1

Yvonne lowered her eyes. "How is that childish?"

"Isn't it childish? Do you think revenge like that can hurt Henry? It doesn't do anything at all. You didn't hurt him at all, so your revenge is nothing but a prank. Point is, you simply don’t have the heart to seek revenge against him," Sam said.

Yvonne felt a little guilty but she pretended like she was fine. "That’s nonsense. Of course I want to seek revenge."

"If you really have the heart to seek revenge, you could easily get someone to beat him up and hurt him.

Wouldn't an act of revenge like that make him suffer more?"

"I..." Yvonne choked up and she was speechless.

Sam smiled again. "Look, I was right, wasn't I? You still can't let him go. Over the past six years, you’d search the internet for news about him from time to time. Sometimes, when you get drunk, you'll cry and call out his name like you love and hate him.

Sometimes, you'd even stare at Theo in a daze.

Everything you did showed that you’ve always loved him and you still do."

Yvonne's eyes were red, but she still didn't say anything.

Sam could feel her sadness and sighed, "I know, you've always resented Henry in your heart because h e forgot about you and married Jacqueline. You think he betrayed you and abandoned you, so you wanted to seek revenge against him. I, too, felt that way at the beginning, but..."

"But what?"

Sam smiled, "But Henry just contacted me and told me why he forgot about you six years ago and why he brought Jacqueline back to the villa. I suddenly realized that we misunderstood him. In fact, he was a victim too."

"Hmph. I don't think so," Yvonne sneered.

Sam knew she was just being stubborn but he didn't expose her. He continued, "Six years ago, when Master Lancaster passed away, Henry didn't make it in time. I think ever since that day, Henry has always blamed and resented himself. When you were in the accident and they saw the corpse, everyone believed that you were dead, and so did Henry. How do you think that made him feel when he thought that you were dead?"

Yvonne's expression changed slightly when she heard that. She suddenly realized something.

But before she could say anything, Sam went on," Henry definitely felt the same way he felt when Master Lancaster passed away. He blamed and hated himself. He blamed himself for not being by your side at the time and for not being able to save you. You and Master Lancaster are his only family. When both of you died, he was the one who suffered most because h e was the only one left behind." 2

Sam’s words made Yvonne's heart ache, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Yes, she only thought of her own pain of being forgotten, but she never thought of how depressed Henry must have felt when he thought that she was dead.

At that time, Henry loved her. When a loved one passed away, the one left behind would suffer the most. copyrighted © content.

Although she didn’t actually die, Henry really thought she was dead at the time.

He put on a false front to cover his true self and over time, he couldn't take off his facade anymore. Even if the person he cared the most died, he still would not express much emotions on the outside, but what about how he felt deep down?

Yvonne suddenly felt so ashamed she could barely breathe.

Because Henry would always give others the impression of someone cold and emotionless, she

forgot that he was just an average human being.

He could feel sadness, misery, and pain, but because people always got the impression that he was a cold person, people often forgot about that.

As Yvonne thought about this, she covered her face and sobbed softly, "I was wrong..."
