Chapter 496 The Yaeger Family's Situation
She didn’t know the grudge and hatred between Yvonne and Jacqueline, so she asked.
Yvonne didn't want to tell her what she meant. She waved her hand and said in an indisputable tone," Just do it."
Lisa sensed Yvonne's displeasure and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She responded quickly," Okay."
Yvonne's expression looked much better. "In addition, there's one more thing you need to ask."
"Please say it, Miss Smith." Lisa looked at her with all ears.
Yvonne seemed to be thinking about something and her eyes were a bit complicated. "Send two teams of people. One team will go to the women’s prison in the north of the city to inquire about someone named Lynette and see how she's been living in the past six years. It's best if they can get some pictures. The other team will go to this place."
As she said so, she picked up her pen and wrote an address on the paper. Then, she tore it off and handed it to Lisa. "Go here and take a look at the couple to see how they're living now.”
Lisa wrote down Yvonne's words carefully. Although she was very curious about who these people were, she didn't dare to ask more questions. She accepted the order respectfully.
"I got it, Miss Smith. I'll arrange for the team and we'll get the news soon."
"Okay." Yvonne nodded faintly. "After you've made the arrangements, get the car ready to meet the client.”
"Alright," Lisa answered again and left.
After she left, Yvonne was busy with work for a while, then she stopped working, got up, put on her coat, and walked out of the office.
It was almost six o'clock after she met the client.
Yvonne dragged her exhausted body back to the office and charged her dead mobile phone.
When her mobile screen turned on, she saw an unread text message from Shane.
Yvonne quickly read the message. There was only one sentence: Theo has received it. Don't worry!
Yvonne’s heart was warm when she read those six words. The exhaustion on her face was alleviated with the smile from her heart.
She hammered the back of her somewhat sore waist and replied with a thank you to Shane.
However, Shane might not have been looking at his mobile phone at the moment. After she sent her thank you message, he didn't reply.
Yvonne wasn't disappointed either. She turned off her mobile phone, pulled out her office chair to sit down, rubbed her swollen eyebrows, and rested.
At this time, Lisa came in with a cup of coffee. "Miss Smith."
Yvonne opened her eyes. "You haven't gotten off work yet?"
"I'm ready to go. I saw that you haven't left, so I made you a cup of coffee." Lisa put the coffee in front of her.
Yvonne smiled, "Thank you."
Lisa waved her hand. "You're welcome, Miss Smith." Yvonne squeezed her hand and took a sip of coffee. Lisa knew that she liked Americano, so every time she made coffee, she didn't add any sugar or cream.
Americano was very bitter. It was so bitter that the tip of her tongue became numb, but Yvonne didn't seem t o feel it. One mouthful after another drink, she soon drank most of it.
Lisa’s heart trembled when she saw Yvonne drinking such bitter coffee so boldly.
"By the way, what you asked me to inquire about has come to fruition, Miss Smith," Lisa said while looking a t Yvonne.
Yvonne put down her coffee when she heard it. "How i s it?"
Lisa took out her mobile phone and pressed it a few times. "Miss Lynette from the women's prison has
performed well during her sentence in the past six years. She also made a contribution last year and was commuted for a year and a half. Here's a picture of her."
With that, she handed her phone over.
Yvonne took it and looked at the phone.
There was a picture of a woman with extreme hair, working out in a light cyan prison uniform.
This woman was indeed Lynette.
After six years, this was the first time Yvonne had seen Lynette, who was once her best friend. It felt like she had been cut off from the outside world for ages.
Lynette lost a lot of weight. It seemed that her life during her sentence was very rough. Yvonne would hardly recognize her if her appearance hadn’t changed much.
After sighing, Yvonne returned the phone to Lisa." Where are Lynette's parents?"
Lisa replied, "They live a very ordinary life, but the man's legs are paralyzed and he can only lie in bed every day waiting for the lady to take care of him. The lady now relies on farming and selling vegetables. Although the days are rough, they won’t starve. It's just that the lady fell on a rainy day three years ago, so her back seems to be bad."
Yvonne lowered her eyelids and said, "Bad back?"
"Yes."
"I see!" Yvonne rubbed her temples. "Tell the people that you sent over to not come back and let them act i n front of Mrs. Yaeger, saying that the hospital has free consultations, which can treat patients without any fees. Make an arrangement over at the hospital and don’t get exposed."
"Since Mrs. Smith wants to help her, why don't you step forward directly instead of making a detour?" Lisa didn’t understand.
Yvonne tapped on the desk with her finger and said with a bitter smile, "My relationship with the Yaeger's family is very complicated. Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger have always felt guilty towards me. If they know that I'm secretly helping them, they won't accept it.”
"I see. Alright then. I’ve got this." Lisa nodded.
Yvonne nodded gently. "As for the prison, get someone to send some daily necessities over there. The same thing applies-don't expose me."
"Yes!" Lisa answered again.
Yvonne waved. "You should go out now and get off work when you get down later."
"Okay." Lisa turned around and went out.
Yvonne got up, walked to the window, looked at the bustling city outside, and her eyes became distant.
She still couldn't forgive and wouldn't ever forgive what Lynette did back then, so she never thought of seeing Lynette after she returned to Vancouver.
But she still remembered deep down in her heart that Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger had taken care of her, so there was only so much she could do for the Yaeger family.
Thinking about it, Yvonne let out a sigh of relief. After letting the cold wind blow for a while, she carried her bag and walked out of the office.
The sky was dark when she was back at the hotel.
Yvonne arrived at the door of her suite with a handful of grocery bags. Right when she was about to put her stuff on the floor to open the door, the door opened itself.
Shane poked his head out from inside and was surprised when he saw her. "You're really back!"
"Huh?" Yvonne blinked-she didn’t understand what h e meant.
Shane explained with a smile, "Theo just patted my thigh, then pointed to the door and let me open it. I guess he probably wanted to tell me that you're back and I thought of giving it a try. Who knew that you'd really be back? It seems that Theo has a very sensitive hearing. I didn't hear anything, but he heard it."
"Now you know," Yvonne laughed along. "Theo's hearing is indeed very sensitive. Even if there's a diaphragm in the room, the subtle movements can't hide from his ears." Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Shane exclaimed, "Really?"
Yvonne nodded. "Yes."
Shane touched his chin. "As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window."
Yvonne agreed with him. "Yes. Although Theo has autism, he's much smarter than the other kids."
Shane opened the door widely. "Well, come on in."
"Take this for me." Yvonne handed over a bag in her hand.
Only then did Shane realize that she had several bags i n her hand. He couldn't help but be stunned. "This is..."
Yvonne said, "I bought some ingredients."
Shane took the bag and said, "This doesn't seem like you just bought some ingredients. Are you going to cook?"
"Yup." Yvonne walked into the suite.
Shane closed the door and followed behind her. "Why do you want to cook all of a sudden?"
Yvonne looked back and smiled, "Because I want to personally cook for you to thank you."
Shane was dazzled by her smile. "Thank me?"
