Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 429

Yvonne opened her mouth in surprise as her intention was seen through. Then, she nodded heavily. "Yes, I want to know how Henry is now.”

"I knew you'd ask this when you woke up." Sam straightened his shirt.

Yvonne's eyes brightened up. "So, did you ask for me?"

"Yup." Sam nodded.

"Then...Then Henry’s now..."

"He's alright, but he was in shock after he found out that you might be dead in the sea of fire this morning. He sent people to look for you on the scene all the time," Sam said. "But your nanny's blaming herself."

"You mean Sue?"

"Yes, she thinks that it’s her fault. She shouldn’t have trusted that phone call. If she hadn't gone out, she wouldn’t have been knocked out and you wouldn't have been taken away. Then, everything else wouldn't have happened."

Upon hearing this, Yvonne's eyes turned red. "Sue..."

She didn't expect that her accident would have such a big impact on Sue.

Knock knock!

There was a knock at the door.

Sam got up to open the door and his assistant stood outside. "Sam, there's news on the scene. The fireman found a corpse in the corner of the burned warehouse."

"A corpse?" Before Sam could speak, Yvonne exclaimed. Then, she thought of something and asked nervously, "Whose corpse is that?"

The assistant took a glance at Sam.

Sam nodded.

The assistant then said, "It's unclear for the time being. The body was badly burnt. I can't recognize the face at all except for the fact that it's a man."

"A man..." Yvonne muttered these two words. It felt like her brain was struck by thunder. Just when she was about to feel better, her face turned pale again.

When Sam saw her in this way, a gleam of light flashed across Sam's eyes. "Why? Do you know who it i s?"

Yvonne’s eyes were hollow and her body was shaking slightly. She looked scared and it took her a long time for her to speak, "If I guess correctly, it’s my brother..."

"Your brother?" Sam raised his eyebrows and quickly reacted. "Is he the one who kidnapped you?"

"Yes, it's him..." Yvonne closed her eyes painfully.

She didn't expect Jason Frey to be dead and he was burned to death by the fire! 2

For a moment, Yvonne's heart was filled with sadness.

How could Jason die...

Wasn’t it true that scourge lasted for thousands of years? Jacqueline and Dominic had done so many bad things and they lived well. How could Jason die?

No matter how much she disliked Jason and hated him, she never wanted him to die.

Yvonne wanted to cry.

She raised her arm to cover her eyes and her tears slid down the corner of her eyes. The tears fell on the pillow, making it wet.

"Jason..." she called the name sadly.

Someone once said that the lights went out when a person died. At this moment, she could clearly feel that her hatred towards Jason had disappeared all at once.

Without hatred, the warm and happy memories of her childhood and Jason emerged gradually in her mind.

She regretted it, very much so. If he didn't hand Yvonne over to the human trafficker, would the ending be different? Would they still be close siblings?

Unfortunately, there weren't any what-ifs or medicine for regret.

After taking it, Sam scrolled to a number and dialed it.

"Mr. Lancaster, it’s Mr. Smith from overseas." Joe saw that Henry was standing in front of the french window, looking outside. His back was lonely and he didn't want to answer the phone at all. Joe couldn’t help but glance at the caller ID and remind him.

However, Henry didn't respond and he replied without looking back, "I don't want to answer!"

Joe gritted his teeth and insisted, "Mr. Lancaster, you should pick it up. I caught a man outside the villa earlier and Mr. Smith had sent him to ask about you."

"Ask about me?" Henry finally turned his head around this time.

Joe was shocked by his decadent face and quickly lowered his head. "Yes, Mr. Smith knows what happened today."

Oh, God. How long had it been? It wasn't even a day, but how could Mr. Lancaster be dispirited?

Was it a big blow to him that madam was gone?

"Give it to me!" Henry didn't know what Joe was thinking. He reached out to him.

Joe returned to reality and quickly passed him the phone.

After taking over the phone, Henry took a look at the caller ID and lowered his eyelids. Then, he answered the call.

"Mr. Lancaster? I'm Sam Smith,” Sam's clear voice passed through the phone.

Henry pursed his thin lips into a straight line and he didn't respond.

Sam was sure that he was the person who answered the call. He no longer exchanged greetings and got down to business. He said, "Mr. Lancaster, I’m sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I'm calling to apologize to you. I sent someone to ask for your news. I'm really sorry." "So why do you ask about me?" Henry's face was as cold as frost. He finally opened his mouth, but his voice was cold enough to freeze someone.

But Sam was not affected by him. Instead, he said with a faint smile, "Well, I heard that Mr. Lanacster had an accident this morning, so I was worried. If something happens to you, it’d affect the cooperation between our families. Therefore, I sent someone to ask about you. I'm relieved to know that you're fine."

"Is that so..." Henry narrowed his blank eyes.

Although what the man said was reasonable, he felt that something was wrong.
