Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 298

Yvonne shook her head. "My injury feels rather painful. I think I'm going to head upstairs and rest, let’s stop talking about this topic now."

She pointed at her ribs.

Sue understood that she had better stop asking any more questions and agreed with Yvonne. "Alright, you head back to your room and rest then. I'll call you up when the food's ready."

“Alright." Yvonne nodded and got up from the sofa and slowly walked upstairs.

Back in her room, Yvonne took out her cell phone and called the old man instead of resting as she said she would.

The old man was surprised and shocked as he picked up Yvonne’s phone call. "Yvonne? What's with the sudden phone call?"

"I need to ask you something, Grandpa. Do you know about my abduction a few days ago?" asked Yvonne in a serious tone.

The old man was shocked. "What? You've been abducted? Who did it?"

Yvonne bit her lip.

She had guessed that Henry did not tell the old man about what happened and she was right.

She already suspected Henry when he did not answer when she asked if there was any news about that masked old man.

Now that she had asked the old man, her suspicions were proven to be true.

"I'm not sure who did it. That man only said that he was an enemy of the Lancasters," replied Yvonne.

The old man's voice deepened. "Enemy of the Lancasters... Yvonne, tell me everything that happened to you. I want to know what's going on!"

"Alright," replied Yvonne and she explained everything that happened in detail.

The old man was furious when he finished hearing everything. "How dare Henry not tell me that such a serious incident has occurred. Wait till I get to talk to him."

"Grandpa, you mustn't blame it on Henry. He might have his own concerns," said Yvonne to help Henry when she saw the old man was beginning to be furious at Henry.

The old man murmured coldly, "Concerns? What concerns could he have? It's obvious that he doesn’t want to tell me."

Yvonne fell silent.

To be honest, she could not understand Henry's actions as well. He clearly said that he would talk to the old man about it when he went to the family

residence previously. What made him change his mind?

"Alright Yvonne, I understand what has happened now. Thank you for telling me the truth. I'll make sure that Frederick will send you some vitamins to help with your recovery. In the meantime, you should leave everything to me."

The old man hung up so quickly that Yvonne couldn't even stop him.

She put down her phone and mumbled, "I haven't even asked Grandpa about the masked old man yet."

However, she decided not to ponder about it since she knew that the old man would be looking for Henry now. Henry would be asking her about it eventually as well.

She decided to wait till Henry got back before asking him the question.

She had to wait until night time.

When Henry returned home, his face was dark and discontented.

He walked towards Yvonne who was watching the television and put down his briefcase before coldly asking her, "Why did you tell Grandpa about it?”

Yvonne muted the television. "Was I not allowed to?”

"Grandpa isn't well at the moment. You telling him would only agitate him.” Henry’s lips pursed into a straight line.

Yvonne was startled. "So you did not ask Grandpa about that masked old man when you were at the family residence?"

Henry pressed on his glabella as he sat down. "I did go to the family residence, but I couldn’t bring myself to tell Grandpa about it when I saw him coughing so badly."

"I see." Yvonne was slightly depressed about this revelation. "I didn't know, I was worried about you and hoped that you would be able to find the Lancaster's enemy as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary danger. That's why I... I'm sorry..." 1

She stood up and apologized to Henry with a bow.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs.

The next day after a good night's sleep, Yvonne arrived at the office and greeted her manager before going into her cubicle to retrieve her documents.

Just as she was about to leave after retrieving her documents, Lynnette arrived and sat on her desk with her head lowered. Suddenly, Lynette rested her head o n her desk and began sobbing.

Yvonne was in shock when she saw this and put away her documents hurriedly. "What's wrong Lyn?"

Lynette heard her voice and stifled her tears as she raised her head, her face filled with shock. "Yvonne, why are you back? Didn’t the manager say that you were on a long holiday?"

"Yes, I'm here to retrieve some stuff. I was just about to leave." Yvonne patted on the documents she had put down before asking again. "What about you? Where have you been? I hadn't seen you when I arrived and now that I have, there you are crying away."

Lynette lowered her eyes as she choked while replying, "I've been to the Human Resources Department."

"What were you doing there?” Yvonne suddenly felt uneasy.

Lynette took a deep breath before saying, "I've gone to hand in my resignation."

Yvonne froze for a moment before realizing what had just happened. "What did you say, Lyn? You've resigned?"

She couldn't believe her ears as she looked at Lynette i n shock.

Lynette wiped her tears and forced a smile. "You haven’t heard wrong, I've really resigned."

"Why?" Yvonne was agitated. "Why are you resigning all of a sudden?"

"I have no choice." Lynette covered her face and had another meltdown. “A lot of things have happened to me recently. The doctor says that my dad has thoroughly broken his legs from that last fall and all hopes of recovering are now lost. He's still in a coma a t the moment because he hit his head when he fell, there might be a possibility that he won't be able to wake up ever again."

"What?" Yvonne was startled. "How did it turn out to b e so serious?"

"That's what I was thinking as well, but that’s not the worst part. When my mum heard that my dad may not ever wake up, she burst a vessel in her brain and is now lying in the hospital as well. If I don't resign now, who'd look after them?" Lynette began to cry in despair as she finished.

Yvonne was completely stunned and could only reply after a moment, "What's your mum's condition at the moment? Is she out of the critical stage?”
