Theo grabbed her finger and rubbed it with his face, indicating that he agreed.
Yvonne led him out of the room.
Shane got up, walked to them, and looked at Theo anxiously. "How is it going?"
Yvonne explained briefly, "It’s alright. Theo saw that I was injured and he was very worried about me, but he didn't know how to express it. That’s it."
Shane nodded and sighed softly, "I see. That's good to hear. By the way, what would you like to eat tonight? Let me cook for you."
"You cook?" Yvonne looked at his thin palm and slender fingers in surprise.
No matter how long she looked at it, these hands were used to holding scalpels or pens.
She couldn't imagine him holding a kitchen knife in his hands. She couldn't even bear to think about it. She felt it was a waste.
Wasn't it a pity if he was injured?
"Yes, I'll let you try my cooking skills." Shane rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don’t look at me like this. I can really cook."
Yvonne said with a smile, "Forget it. Don't you have surgeries almost every day now? Let your hands rest. We should get the room service or something.”
With that, she made a call to the reception and didn't give Shane the chance to cook.
Shane had no choice but to give up.
The hotel acted very fast. Not long after Yvonne was done with the call, a waiter pushed a small cart to deliver the food.
She was inconvenienced due to her sprained ankle, so Shane took Theo to set up the table together.
The dinner was scrumptious. Three of them sat in one direction and began to eat.
After dinner, Shane took Theo back to his room. 2
He prepared the bath for Theo. After Theo began to take a bath, he came out and looked at Yvonne’s leg on the sofa. "How did you sprain your ankle?”
"It was an accident." Yvonne drank the water and slowly told him what happened in the morning.
After hearing this, Shane frowned. "Was it really an accident?"
Yvonne replied with a bitter smile, "Yes. Although it seems to be man-made, it’s indeed an accident. It’s just my bad luck that I was in the elevator at that time."
Shane sighed, "Luckily you’re fine."
God knew that his heart almost dropped when he heard about the elevator accident.
"Yes, luckily. The elevator pulley was rusty so it got stuck when descending. If the pulley snapped and the elevator dropped, then..."
Yvonne shivered and couldn't go on.
There was only one result, which was death.
And she would die miserably, becoming a meatloaf.
So, fortunately, it was just a false alarm during the day and nothing serious happened. Otherwise, she would die with Henry before her revenge.
Shane said with concern, "Well, don't think too much. Since you can't walk these days, you should just stay i n the hotel and have a good rest."
Yvonne nodded. "Yeah, that's what I think too. I'll take advantage of my sprained ankle to keep Theo company."
"That’s good." Shane tilted his glasses with satisfaction.
At this time, her mobile phone suddenly rang.
Yvonne put down her glass and took the phone out of her pocket.
After taking a look at the caller ID, she put the phone t o her ear and said, "Hello, I’m Shannon."
"Hello, Miss Smith. We’re from the housekeeping team. Your apartment has been cleaned. When will you come over for inspection?" the person on the
other end of the line asked politely.
Yvonne said with a smile, "There's no need to do an inspection. My brother arranged for you guys, so I believe you all. I'll make the remaining balance by tomorrow and you can have the key delivered."
The person on the other end of the phone said more politely, "Alright. I shall not disturb you any further, Miss Smith. Have a good rest and good night."
Yvonne hummed and cut off the phone.
Shane was peeling an apple. "Who was it?"
"The housekeeper.” Yvonne put her phone aside.
Shane cut the peeled apple into small pieces, put it on a small plate, and pushed it toward her. "Is the house ready?"
Yvonne smiled and joked, "Why did you forget, Henry? You promised to address me by my name last night. Why did you change it after a night?"
But why did his tone of voice sound so strange?
It was as if she was reprimanding him for being ruthless.
Was it an illusion?
Henry pursed his lower lip. He changed his address without thinking much. "Hi, Shannon."
Yvonne raised her chin in satisfaction. "That's right. Come on in."
She took a step back with her crutch and left a space.
After Henry excused himself, he came in with the things he brought.
Yvonne closed the door and said, "I forgot to ask. What
are you doing here, Henry?"
Henry replied, "To visit you."
Yvonne raised her eyebrows and said, "To visit me?"
"Well, you were injured in the Lancaster Group. As the chairman and the key person of the group, I have to be responsible for your injury until you're fully recovered.” Henry put the things he brought on the sofa. "I asked someone to prepare these supplements-they said they are good for a foot injury."
"Really? There are so many. What's in there?" Yvonne stepped forward curiously.
Henry shook his head. "I don't know. I asked someone to prepare them."
He didn't ask specifically what was inside.
Yvonne was more curious. "Can I open it and see?"
Henry nodded. "Of course, these are for you. You have the right to unwrap them."
"Thank you," Yvonne gave him a brilliant smile, put her crutches aside, sat down, and began to open up the boxes.
After opening one, she looked at the supplements and the chicken soup in front of her and then fell into a deep silence.
If she was right, Sue was the one who prepared these.
