Secretary's Secret Lover
Chapter 565 Sir, Your Girlfriend...

Chapter 565: Chapter 565 Sir, Your Girlfriend...

It was indeed inconvenient for him to walk with his legs, but Lance wouldn’t feel inferior because of this.

Lance had been in the business industry for many years and had seen various people. He knew someone who worked despite illness, as well as the disabled who succeeded in starting a business.

Therefore, he did not take his leg injury seriously.

Marcus stood with his hands behind his back, and he knew some of Lance’s thoughts.

Marcus thought for a while and said, "I’ve asked my assistant to apply for the earliest flight to Iceland. But recently, because of the drill, there’s air traffic control. We have to wait for notice.

"If you have any questions about Yvette, you can ask her personally, instead of wasting your life in the hospital.

"This is not the style of the Wolseley family."

Marcus took a deep breath and spoke his mind.

He would not give Lance a chance to hesitate and think about how to decide. Marcus would directly inform him.

"I will help you for three more months at most. Three months later, Yvette’s child will be born. You’ll be relieved, right? In these three months, you’d better recuperate. I don’t care if you want to find the answer or stay with your child. Anyway, I will quit in three months. I have my own business. At that time, if there will be no one in the Wolseley Group, don’t blame me."

After that, his assistant Jackson Ford came in and asked Marcus to go to the meeting.

Marcus walked to the door and said, "Lance, sometimes one has to learn to coexist. Even if Yvette is married, you’re still the father of her child. You have to shoulder the responsibility and learn how to be a good father."

After that, he did not care what Lance thought.

Anyway, Marcus had said what he needed to say.

Marcus had not been married for half his life and only had Joseph, his only child. After all, Joseph was not his biological son. As a father, Marcus still had many shortcomings.

But Marcus had his own opinion on what a good father was.

Marcus believed that, as long as one truly treated and raised his children well, he would be a good father.

Marcus added, "Joseph will attend Yvette’s wedding on my behalf. At that time, take him with you and look after him. Although Iceland has made an agreement with New York and will be responsible for the safety of the New Yorkers there, they did not know that the matter of Rod had something to do with you. If they know, that’s another story. So, you must be very careful and not expose your identity when you go."

In fact, it would be fine as long as Leonard did not know. After all, the other members of the Charles family were celebrating Rod’s death.

In the Charles family, Rod was very unpopular, and only Leonard favored him.

The others wished that Rod would die early.

When Leonard passed away, no one would mention Rod again.

"I didn’t say I was going," Lance said coldly.

Since Yvette would be married, why should he go there?

In the past, Lance had chased her away personally. Now, he could go to ruin her happiness, but he was not willing to do it.

"Are you going to ask her clearly or not go and have regrets?"

Marcus smiled faintly. "No one else can decide for you. It’s up to you."

...

Lance returned to the ward.

He was very determined and would not change his mind just because of others’ few words.

If Lance wanted to find Yvette, he would still think of a way to come to her when he woke up, even if he needed to lie on the stretcher.

But he did not go to her, it showed that Lance approved of her decision.

Yvette did not want to have any more touch with him and chose her own life, so Lance thought he should not disturb her.

But this was not the most important. The point was that Lance did not find any evidence that Yvette was reluctant to part with him.

On the day of his getting shot, Lance had a high fever and was injured. His experience with Yvette in the end became a blur.

He only remembered that in the end, he protected Yvette from getting a shot.

And Yvette chose to leave on the day of his operation, which showed her decision.

Marvin and Marcus might think that it was because of his legs that he felt inferior and did not go to Yvette.

But in fact, as long as there was love, Lance wouldn’t chicken out facing any difficulties.

However, he would be easily crushed if there was no love between them.

Lance had never been that strong in a relationship.

Lance chose not to go, just because he knew he was stubborn. When he didn’t see Yvette, he wouldn’t keep his cool.

If he were to see Yvette standing in front of him...

Lance did not know what he would do and if he would lose control...

The next day.

At noon, David returned and gave Lance the infusion.

When he went out, David saw the fruits placed next to Lance’s fruit plate. He knew that Lance usually did not eat the leftover fruits. So, David told Lance and took those fruits out to give to the cleaner, Sarah Barton.

And David had done this for many days.

It was not because Lance was arrogant and looked down upon the leftover fruits, but because he did not like them. However, the VIP ward had a daily supply of fresh fruits.

Rather than waiting for the fruits to rot and throwing them away, Lance thought it was better to give them to the people who liked to eat when they were still fresh.

After David left, he came back not long after.

He also brought Sarah with him.

After asking about Lance, Sarah came in. She just wanted to say thanks.

Her grandson had an operation because he was sick. Sarah had no money and took him home to recuperate. Sarah’s grandson liked to eat fruits, but she was poor and couldn’t buy him fruits every day.

After Sarah’s son died in a car accident, her daughter-in-law also ran away.

Only Sarah was left to take care of her sick grandson. After David knew about this, he had been helping Sarah.

When David found out that Sarah’s grandson wanted to eat fruit, he remembered Lance in this ward, who never ate fruits. Sometimes, the fruits would rot after a long time, and David would throw them away.

It was a pity.

When David came to Lance the next time, he asked Lance if it was okay to take away the fruits.

Then Lance asked him to bring the fruits to Sarah the next day.

Every time David took the fruits, he would send them to Sarah’s house.

After Sarah came in, she said, "Sir, thanks to you, my grandson can eat fruits every day. Thank you very much."

Lance said flatly, "It’s fine. You don’t have to come here to thank me."

After Sarah thanked him, she asked, "Sir, why hasn’t your girlfriend come here recently?"

Lance looked at Sarah doubtfully.

David was also shocked. He was afraid that Sarah would say something wrong and annoy Lance. David quickly said, "Sarah, what are you talking about? This gentleman has never had a girlfriend."

Anyway, since Lance stayed in this ward, David had never seen a woman come to him.

David didn’t know what the reason was.

But it was always bad to inquire about others’ private lives.

David kept winking at Sarah to ask her not to say anything more.

"Impossible." Sarah did not see David winking at her and continued, "There was a very beautiful young lady before. Her face was fair, and her eyes were very big. She was gentle. I often saw her come over."

Sarah said that, because she took a leave when her grandson was in surgery, and she just returned to work today.

So, she definitely did not know that Yvette had left.

David thought that she might remember it wrong as her words were ridiculous. He said, "Well, Sarah, you must have remembered wrongly. Alright, let’s go."

But Sarah was so stubborn and refused to leave.

She even said, "I didn’t make a mistake. I came to thank this gentleman and return the money to that lady."

Afraid that Lance would be angry, David tugged at Sarah. "Alright. Sarah, let’s go."

Sarah did not know why, but David usually took good care of her and her grandson, and she listened to him very much.

So, she nodded and said to Lance, "I’m sorry, sir. Thank you. I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Well, I’ll take Sarah out, sir."

After that, when they were about to go out, they were stopped by Lance.

"Wait a minute."

Lance looked at Sarah and said, "Mrs. Barton, what do you mean by returning money?"

Sarah was flattered by Lance’s attitude. In her eyes, Lance had extraordinary charisma and must be either rich or powerful.

But at that moment, Lance was so respectful to Sarah.

"Please don’t call me that. You can just call me Sarah."

Lance’s voice was light but a little warm. "It’s okay, Sarah. Can you tell me?"

"When I went to work, you were not awake at that time. I was in charge of the cleaning work here. Because I wanted to get more money, I’d been working the night shift that month.

"When I was cleaning up at night, I saw that girl coming over. She was also sitting in a wheelchair, heading to your ward. I saw her come several nights in a row.

"Later, my grandson fell ill. That day, I was still on the night shift and sat in the corridor. I wiped my tears when I thought of my grandson’s illness. I didn’t have that much money. When this girl came over and saw me, she asked me about my condition. After that, she gave me a card and asked me to use the money to treat my grandson, though there was not much money in the card."

Sarah recalled the details and added, "I told that girl I didn’t want it, but she said that she wanted to do something nice for you. She hoped you could wake up early and insisted on giving it to me.

"Later, my grandson’s condition worsened, so I took a leave of absence to look after him. I didn’t have enough money to pay the medical expenses and thus used the girl’s card. She said that there wasn’t that much on the card, but I didn’t expect that there would be 50 thousand dollars. It was enough for my grandson’s early treatment.

"I originally wanted to return it to that girl earlier, but nobody would look after my grandson that way, so I came back today. Sir, please help me return it to her."

Sarah took out a plastic bag. It was wrapped well. After she opened it, it was still the same card.

"I’ve got compensation for my son’s car accident. It is enough for the treatment of my grandson. Back then, if not for the girl’s money, my grandson would not have been treated in time, and he couldn’t recover so well. Please help me thank her."

Lance took the card in a daze.

Sarah said, "Sir, that girl is really good. I could see that she cared about you very much. Every time she walked out, her eyes were red. I didn’t know how long she cried, but she was really worried about you..."

Until David left the ward with Sarah, Lance was still staring at the card in a daze.

It turned out that Yvette had seen Lance so many times.

At this time, Frankie just came in.

Lance said, "I want all the surveillance footage in the corridor a month before I was unconscious."

Frankie was stunned, but he immediately agreed.

"Okay, Mr. Wolseley."

The next second, he asked, "Did something happen, Mr. Wolseley?"

As an assistant, Frankie must ask it clearly since it was about Lance’s safety.

"It’s fine. Go find it now."

"Okay," Frankie said and was about to leave.

"Wait." Lance called out to him and said, "Go to David and find out about Sarah’s condition. Then do something for her grandson."

David was the male nurse in charge of this ward.

Frankie nodded and went out.

After a while, he brought in the copied footage and handed the USB to Lance.

"Mr. Wolseley, what are you looking for? Do you want me to help you find it?"

Frankie was mainly afraid that Lance would hurt his eyes if he kept staring at the computer.

"No need. I can see it myself."

After Frankie left, Lance inserted the USB into his notebook.

He changed the timeline to the night and finally saw Yvette after midnight.

She did not come every night but would appear occasionally.

Moreover, Yvette would stay in the ward for at least more than an hour each time.

But from another footage, it could be seen that she did not enter the ward but stood in front of the window for a long time.

This was why Yvette did not come over every night. Because standing there for so long, she would be unable to take it.

When she looked at Lance through the glass, Yvette was very focused. After a while, she would fold her hands and slowly pray for him with her eyes closed.

Then Lance changed the timeline to the night before she left.

This time, she stayed the longest.

With her back to the surveillance camera, Yvette’s face could not be seen, but it could tell that her shoulder was twitching.

It was obvious that she was crying.

Was she crying...

Why was she crying?

Lance repeatedly looked at this footage, and his brows furrowed deeper.

The next day.

At the Wolseley Group’s exclusive tarmac.

In the luxurious cabin, Joseph sat in his seat, impatient.

He asked, "Hasn’t Lance arrived yet?"

The staff on the plane apologized, "Excuse me, Mr. Joseph. Mr. Lance is not here yet."

"Have you called him? Is the phone still not connected?" Joseph asked.

"Yes, it can’t be connected for now."

Joseph frowned and said, "Just call him one last time. If no one answers it, I won’t wait for him to come with me."

The staff called Lance, but there was still no answer.

Joseph was anxious and said, "I’ll call my father. Just set off after the call."

Joseph dialed Marcus’s number and immediately complained.

"How could Lance be like that? I have been waiting for him for almost two hours. If he didn’t go, why didn’t he tell me?."

"Did you call him?" Marcus asked.
