CHAPTER 76 HE'S FINE

When Yvonne looked over, it was a group of people in security uniforms carrying a stretcher. These were the people whom Joe had called for the rescue just now.

"Madam, take the ski car and return to the hotel first. I have to send Mr. Lancaster to the hospital," Joe told Yvonne after passing Henry to two rangers. Content is © by .

Yvonne shook her head. "I don't want to go back. I want to go to this hospital too. I want to know how he's doing immediately.”

"No," Joe refused, “Go back first. Your health isn't the best. If something happens to you too, I can't clear it with Mr. Lancaster. Don't worry, I’ll keep you in the loop on how Mr. Lancaster's doing."

"Okay then..." Yvonne tugged the corners of her lips into a forced smile.

She knew that she could not be of any help if she followed. If she had gone, Joe would have to divide a part of his attention to take care of her. It was better for her to wait for Henry's news in the hotel.

Yvonne stared at the car that Henry was in longingly before sighing and went into another ski car that would send her back to the hotel.

When Lynette saw her, she jumped right off the bed and tugged her hand over as she asked, "Yvonne, why are you back so late? You didn't even pick up when I

called you. Where have you been?”

Yvonne smiled at her listlessly without a word.

Pulling her hand back, she went to sit down on her bed and spaced out. It frightened Lynette as worry washed over her features. "Yvonne, what’s gotten into you?"

"I’m fine..." Yvonne replied hoarsely with a lowered head.

Lynette walked over to her. "Fine? Look at you, it’s like the sky’s falling. I'm scared for you."

She poured Yvonne a glass of hot water. "Drink some and warm yourself up. Then soothe your emotions."

"Thank you..." Yvonne took a sip after accepting the glass.

The water was hot and it did warm her up when she drank it but it did nothing for her anxious heart. 1

She was here now but her heart had gone in the car and to the hospital with Henry.

"I wonder how he’s doing." Yvonne put the glass away and curled in on herself.

Lynette who heard her mumble frowned in confusion. "Doing what? Who are you referring to?"

Yvonne shook her head without saying anything.

Not used to Yvonne being like that, Lynette lifted her head up in indignation. "Yvonne, tell me if we're friends. Don't worry me, alright? Do you know how worried I was when I couldn't reach you and you weren’t back? And when you are, you look like you’re going to die. I ask you questions and you don't even answer me!”

Yvonne was stunned for a few seconds from the rebuke before she looked down in remorse. "Sorry, Lyn

If

"Don't tell me sorry. Tell me what happened. Let me see if I can help." Lynette sat down beside her.

Yvonne sniffed with a sob. "I made Mr. Lancaster injure himself!"

"What?" Lynette's eyes widened. 1

Yvonne covered her face, various emotions overwhelming her again. "It's all my fault. If I’d listened to him, things wouldn’t have gotten to this stage..."

She recounted what happened while she cried.

Lynette was speechless after that.

Yvonne grabbed her hand. "Lyn, what do you think I should do? Will he be okay?"

"Uh..." Lynette answered looking caught, "I’m not sure either. You said that Mr. Lancaster lost consciousness and hasn't woken up since then. I think the injury must be bad..."

"Yeah, his back was all red and bruised. He might even hurt his bones." Yvonne fisted her hair in anguish, feeling like going back in the past and

beating her past self up.

"What did you say? Mr. Lancaster's back? You saw his flawless body?” Lynette went closer and asked with starry eyes.

Yvonne was miffed at once. "Lynette Yaeger, can you not focus on something so weird!"

Lynette rubbed her nose awkwardly. "Sorry! Mr.

Lancaster is honestly captivating. I just..."

"Alright, think of something for me. What if something bad happens to him? What should I do?" Yvonne clasped her hands together tightly, feeling nervous.

Lynette gave it a thought seriously. "I don't think it's s o severe. Just wait for the result. But you have to thank him for saving you."

"Of course." Yvonne nodded.

Not only would she thank him, but she also wanted to take care of him personally.

Ding...

The telephone in their room rang out of the blue.

Yvonne pointed at the telephone and said weakly," Lyn, pick it up. Maybe it's room service. You speak better than I do."

"Sure." Lynette agreed and went to answer the call.

Some ten seconds later, she raised the earpiece in the air. "It's for you, Yvonne."

"Who is it?" Yvonne looked up.

"Mr. Woods."

Yvonne scrambled up from her bed to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Miss Frey.” Joe's rather fatigued voice came through the speaker.

Yvonne tightened her hold on the earpiece. "Mr.

Woods, Hen - how's Mr. Lancaster? Is he alright?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lancaster is fine. It's just his back. It was quite the collision so his backbone got a little dislocated. He has to be hospitalized for two days."

"So serious?" Yvonne's jaw dropped. He had indeed hurt his bones!

"Not really. He'll be fine once his bones are taken care of. Don't worry," Joe consoled her.

Yvonne did not look happier. "How could I not worry? He wasn't supposed to get hurt. It’s my fault... Oh, has h e woken up?"

"Not yet. He's just done the relocation surgery. Mr. Lancaster is still under anesthesia and should wake u p tomorrow," Joe answered.

Yvonne hummed. "Then can I see him tomorrow?"

"Sure. I’ll send someone to pick you up in the morning tomorrow." "Alright, thank you."

Hanging up, Yvonne rubbed her face and returned to her bed.

Lynette popped her head out from the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth. "Is Mr. Lancaster alright?"

"His backbone got dislocated," Yvonne answered after taking a breath, trying to make herself sound as composed as possible.

Lynette gasped. "Is it serious?"

"He has to be hospitalized."

"That sounds quite major. Yvonne, you’ve caused big trouble!"

Yvonne but her lips in silence. She had caused Henry's injury - it was already huge trouble. Putting aside if she could forgive herself, she did not even know what to tell Old Lancaster. If the old man knew that Henry was injured, he would absolutely break out in rage. After all, Henry was the Lancasters only heir!

"Lyn, I'll stop here. I want to sleep. It's too much for me to take in." Yvonne flipped the duvet and crawled into bed.

Knowing that she was upset with a lot of pressure, Lynette nodded in understanding. "Go to sleep. I won't disturb you."

Yvonne forced a smile and closed her eyes.

She did not sleep well the whole night. Nightmares came one after another to torment her repeatedly. It was Henry at the brink of death from his injury at one moment, then it was Grandpa wanting them to divorce after finding out that Henry got hurt. Later, it was Henry hugging Jacqueline...

Plagued by the nightmares, Yvonne woke up drenched in sweat. It was only four in the morning when she checked the time. Lynette was still sound asleep in the bed next to hers but Yvonne no longer felt sleepy. She spaced out in bed hugging a pillow. 1

When dawn came, she tossed the pillow and got changed to prepare herself in heading out.

"Miss Frey, why are you here so early?” Joe drove to pick her up immediately after receiving her call.

Joe wanted to send someone to pick Yvonne up but knowing that she could not speak the foreign language well, he came to pick her up personally.

"I'm antsy.” Yvonne pulled the car door open to hop in and asked while wearing her seatbelt, "Is Henry awake?”
