Chapter 466 Going Abroad
Yvonne nodded with a heavy heart.
Soon enough, the call was answered.
Henry's deep voice sounded, "Who’s this?"
Yvonne immediately felt a lump in her throat when she heard the man’s voice.
If she could reveal that she was still alive now, she would just grab the phone and talk to him so that she could ask what was going on between him and Jacqueline!
"Mr. Lancaster, it's me," Sam replied.
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Henry's voice sounded again,' Well, what's the matter?" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Sam felt a little suspicious hearing his strange and alienated tone, as if something was wrong, but he could not quite put his finger on it.
"Nothing much. I heard that Mr. Lancaster seems to be on good terms with Miss Jacqueline for the past two days. Are you guys back together?" Sam asked. 1
He asked the question very bluntly.
Yvonne's heart was beating fast as she was worried that Henry might be unhappy because Sam was so straightforward.
However, all her worries turned out to be redundant, because Henry was not angry. On the contrary, he was quite calm.
"Where did you hear that I'm on good terms with Jackie?" Henry asked him back instead of answering.
Yvonne could feel her heart turn cold when she heard the way he called her "Jackie.” She couldn't help biting her lip.
Jackie...
It was so familiar yet so distant.
She still remembered how he used to call Jacqueline " Jackie" before they broke up.
But now he started calling Jacqueline her nickname again. Didn't that explain everything already?
They really were back together. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called her something so intimate.
"Brother..." Yvonne called out in a weak voice.
Sam looked at her as he tried to figure out what was wrong.
Yvonne forced a smile with tears rolling in her eyes." Hang up. Don't ask."
Sam was silent for a while. "Really?"
"It doesn't mean anything anymore," Yvonne said mockingly.
Sam sighed, "Okay."
After that, he took the phone back to his ear again and said, "Sorry, Mr. Lancaster, my sister is feeling a little down and I need to console her. Got to go, goodbye!"
After the conversation, he hung up and left the phone aside.
Yvonne closed her eyes. Her voice sounded sad and lonely, "I really don't understand. What is his heart made of? What am I to Henry? When I showed up in his life, he still cared about Jacqueline and he wanted my bone marrow for her. Later, when he fell in love with me, he left Jacqueline, but..."
Speaking of this, she choked for a while and she raised her head slightly as she blinked, it was as though she was trying to hold back her tears. "But now that I'm gone, he has gotten back together with Jacqueline again. Does this mean that the person he truly loves is actually Jacqueline?"
Sam listened to her and didn't know how to answer.
Yvonne sniffled, "Brother, can you give me some time t o calm down?"
"Yes." Sam nodded. "But I can only give you an hour. We'll be leaving after one hour."
"Okay," Yvonne answered softly.
Sam then left the ward, and Marc followed him.
After they left the room, Sam asked, "Did Mr.
Lancaster mention when Shan's funeral will be?"
"He did. It’s tomorrow," Marc replied.
Sam said, "Don't tell Shan about this, she can only take so much."
Marc agreed, "I know, but I just think it's absurd. Miss isn’t dead, but Mr. Lancaster is going to set up her tombstone already. It's just..."
"There’s no other way. To Mr. Lancaster, Shan is indeed dead," Sam interrupted him.
Marc scratched his hair. "I know, that's why I was even more surprised. To Mr. Lancaster and the public, the miss is indeed dead, but it hasn't been long since they heard about the news. How could he get into a relationship with his wife's enemy? Moreover, Jacqueline and miss are sisters. How could Mr.
Lancaster do that!"
Sam didn’t answer. His eyes became colder, and the usual tenderness in his eyes was gone. "There must be some reason that we don't know yet, but they're hidden way too deep. We won't be able to get any information right now, so we need to investigate."
"After we return to the States, let's arrange for a team t o stay here and investigate in secret. Once they find anything, they can just send us the results," Marc suggested. 1
Sam squeezed the bridge of his nose, "That's all we can do for now. I'll leave this to you, so do it well." "Don’t worry, Mr. Smith." Marc patted his chest.
After that, the two talked about the Smith family. One hour later, Sam entered the ward again.
"Feeling better?" he asked.
Yvonne raised her gaze to look at him and she was extremely calm. "Yes."
Sam looked at her a few times. "Are you alright?"
Yvonne smiled at him. "I am. Let's go, brother."
"Are you really alright?" Sam was still a little worried.
It had only been an hour. Even if she calmed down, it was still weird to be that calm.
On the contrary, her calmness only made him even more worried.
"I'm really okay. I have already decided that when I go abroad, if the doctor says that I'm going to recover, I'll contact Henry personally to tell him that I'm still alive and I'll listen to what he has to say. If he still has me i n his heart, I believe he’ll come to me," Yvonne said lightly.
Sam looked at her. "Then what if..."
Yvonne knew what he was going to say and her eyes darkened. "Let's go, brother. If we don't go now, we’re going to miss the flight."
She changed the subject. It seemed like she was trying to not talk about negative things.
Sam noticed her avoidant behavior, so he secretly sighed and went along with it. He then walked over to carry her from the hospital bed and put her in a wheelchair before pushing her out of the ward.
On the way to the airport, Sam paid special attention t o Yvonne's behavior.
He thought that maybe if she could not bear to leave Henry, or if she was concerned about Henry and Jacqueline's relationship, she might suddenly regret her decision and want to stay instead.
Unexpectedly, she looked out the window very quietly without saying a word. Even when she got off the car a t the airport and received her boarding pass, she was still very quiet.
It seemed that she had actually made up her mind to g o abroad.
That might be good for her too, as going abroad was her only choice at the moment, and it was also the best choice for her.
"Shan, we're boarding soon. I'll give you one last chance to rethink this. Do you want to stay?" Although Sam already knew of Yvonne's determination, he still wanted to give her one last chance before boarding the plane.
Yvonne didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she turned her head to look in the direction of the airport gate, then turned her head back to look at the direction of the boarding gate, and she smiled and said, "I'll follow you!"
Sam also smiled. "Since you’ve made a choice, then let me tell you this. I won't let you come back until your injury has completely recovered, understand?"
"I understand, and I'm ready." Yvonne nodded.
"In that case, time for boarding." Sam pushed her towards the ticket gate.
Marc was pushing a few suitcases behind them as he struggled to keep up.
After checking in, the three of them boarded the plane smoothly.
Sam booked the first-class cabin, and there were only three of them in there.
Yvonne sat by the window while looking out with expectant and confused eyes, hoping that her injuries would be recovered during this trip abroad. It bothered her to think that if her injuries could not be cured, she did not know what else to do.
The plane took off shortly after. Yvonne left those thoughts in the back of her mind temporarily and waited for the plane to fly high after it took off.
The moment just before the plane flew high into the clouds, she finally looked down at the land where she grew up through the window and said silently in her heart, 'Henry, goodbye...'
