Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 508 Sue’s Condition

Only Sue would prepare such supplements, especially the chicken soup.

In the past, Sue often talked about what to eat to strengthen the immune system. When she lost her first child, Sue would boil chicken soup for her.

Thinking of this, Yvonne lowered her eyes and laughed softly. Her laugh was full of emotions.

Speaking of it, it had been six years since she last saw Sue.

She didn’t know how Sue was now. Would her knee still hurt when it was windy or rainy?

And Federick. Federick was eighty-eight years old this year. She didn't know if his body was still strong...

"What's the matter?" Realizing that Yvonne suddenly became sad, Henry looked at her suspiciously. He didn't understand why her eyes were red when she looked at the supplements.

Yvonne sniffed. "It's nothing. Sorry, this is embarrassing. I'm just so touched, I didn’t expect you t o get someone to prepare so many supplements."

Henry answered in a low voice, "I just casually said it and my housekeeper immediately prepared them."

'It's indeed Sue,' Yvonne said in her heart and her smile became wider.

She said casually, "Oh? Housekeeper? Your housekeeper prepared so much. It seems that this housekeeper has a high status?"

Henry said softly, "She's like family."

Yvonne's eyes flickered. "That housekeeper must be very happy to be regarded as your family."

"I wanted to send her abroad for her retirement, but she won't go." Henry sat down.

Yvonne frowned. "Why? Is she old?"

If she remembered correctly, Sue was only about sixty years old this year. Why did he want to support Sue after she retired?

Besides, Sue had children, so he didn't need to support her during her retirement.

"She's not very old, but she fell two years ago and hurt her waist. She often had lower back pain. I asked her t o go abroad for treatment, but she refused. As for the reason..." Henry pursed his thin lips and didn't speak.

But Yvonne could roughly guess the reason why.

Sue refused to go abroad for treatment probably because she wanted to monitor Jacqueline.

Sue never liked Jacqueline, so she wasn’t satisfied with her being Mrs. Lancaster, but she couldn't disobey Henry, so she could only stay in the villa to monitor Jacqueline.

Yvonne whispered, "How silly!” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Henry didn’t hear clearly. "What do you say?"

Yvonne clasped her hands and asked, "It’s nothing. I was saying, how did your housekeeper fall?"

Henry didn't see the worry in her eyes. He poured himself a glass of water and answered faintly, "She fell when going downstairs."

She asked again, "I see. Where else did she hurt apart from the waist?"

Henry wasn't a fool. He didn't notice the problem the first two times she asked, but he noticed it when she asked many times.

Just like now, he felt that she seemed to care about Sue very much and the questions were too detailed.

Although he thought so, Henry replied, "Nope, only the waist."

Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, "Really?"

Henry looked at her and voiced his doubts. "You seem to care a lot about my housekeeper?"

Yvonne’s eyes flashed a little flustered quickly, but soon, she calmed down and laughed, "Yes. After all, she prepared so many supplements for me. It's normal to care about her. It's just courtesy. By the way." 1

As if she thought of something else, she suddenly stood up, took her crutch, and went to the room.

When she came out again, there was a bag in her hand.

"Henry, please bring this to your housekeeper." Yvonne passed the bag to him.

“What's this?" Henry took it over and opened it to have a look, but it was wrapped so tightly that he couldn't see what they were.

Yvonne replied calmly, "It's an ointment to relieve back pain."

Henry squinted his eyes. "Why do you have this here?"

She didn't look like someone with lower back pain.

Yvonne saw the suspicion in Henry's eyes and sat back in her seat. "I brought this for my father. He suffers from a back problem because he sat in the office all year round. Before I returned home, I heard from my uncle that the ointment was very effective, so I specially bought them and sent them back.”

Now she heard that Sue had lower back pain too, she simply asked him to take it to Sue first.

It turned out to be like this...

Henry put away his doubts and returned the bag to her. "Since it's for your father, you shouldn't give it to others."

"I’ll buy more, it's not that expensive.” Yvonne moved the bag toward him again and she was very determined. She made it clear that he must accept it.

Henry was a little unhappy with her action. "Why do you have to give it to my housekeeper? She's a

stranger to you, right?" "Yup." Yvonne nodded. “Although she's a stranger to m e, I've always been kind and your housekeeper has prepared so many supplements for me. I'm doing so out of courtesy. Don't think too much about it, Henry."

She patted him on the shoulder.

Henry was even more unhappy.

What courtesy?

He was the one who asked Sue to prepare these things. 1

Even if it was out of courtesy, she should give it to him. Why Sue?

Noticing that the man was unhappy, Yvonne approached him to ask, "Henry, what's the matter with you?"

The scent of her perfume passed into his nose, making his body tense up instantly and even the memory of the auction appeared in his mind.

That time, he reacted to her when he smelled her scent!

Thinking of this, Henry stood up and looked away. " I'm fine. I should go."

"You're leaving now?" Yvonne was slightly surprised.

Henry said in a deep voice, "There's something I have t o do at the group." "Well then, I won’t keep you any longer. Drive safe."

Yvonne waved to him.

Henry felt even more uncomfortable seeing that she didn't want to keep him longer, as if she was telling him to leave early. He didn’t even talk to her. He lowered his eyelids and walked to the door with a bag.

His pace was fast and heavy, exactly like Theo's last night.

They were indeed father and son.

Yvonne’s expression was very complicated.

Even though they didn't live together, she couldn't help seeing Henry’s shadow in Theo's usual behavior.

Blood ties were really amazing!

Henry didn’t know what Yvonne was thinking. He felt the gaze behind him and she thought that she was sending him off. His heart suddenly relaxed.

He couldn't tell the reason why, but it was really nice t o have her watch him.

The corner of Henry's mouth twitched slightly, then h e opened the door.

Joe was waiting outside the suite. When he heard the movement, he turned around and saw Henry come out. He hurriedly greeted, "Mr. Lancaster.”

Henry hummed and handed the bag in his hand.

Joe blankly took it. "What's this?"

Henry responded casually, "Ointment."

Joe blinked his eyes. "Ointment?”

Henry nodded and walked towards the elevator, without explaining what the ointment was and why h e came out with it.

Although Joe was very curious, he didn't interfere and caught up hurriedly.

After leaving the hotel, the two got into the car.

Joe asked while fastening his seatbelt. "Mr. Lancaster, are we going back to headquarters?"

Right when Henry was about to answer, he glanced at the ointment from the corner of his eye and shook his head. "Back to the villa.”

"Huh?” Joe was stunned. "We're going back to the villa at this time?"
