Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 473

"What did you say? Please repeat your words!" Henry couldn't help but ask. He shockingly got off the bed and stopped right in front of Joy. He had his eyes wide open and stared straight into hers.

Watching Henry's reaction, Joy swallowed the bile that was rising on her throat. She had never expected such a reaction.

She took a look at him and then repeated her words. With fear-stricken face, she explained all her previous mistakes.

Jean leaned closer to Zed as she couldn't bear hearing those disgusting words spoken again. Sadness took over her and she wept quietly.

'Mother, did you see that?

I managed to clear your name.

What will the man you loved so deeply think now?

No matter what he thinks, I will never forgive him. He chose not to believe you. Instead, he believed the lies which Joy fed him. I can never forgive him for that!

Originally I didn't plan to let him know the truth, but I didn't want your name to be stained. Everybody deserves to know the truth.

Besides, Joy is going to turn herself in tomorrow. It's more persuasive to let Henry hear the truth from Joy.

Mother, you can rest in peace now, '

Jean thought silently and tried to bring a smile back onto her face. With her head placed on Zed, she felt better. The weight on her shoulder had just lifted.

Zed supported and comforted Jean by tightly hugging her with his arms. He hated seeing her sad and wanted to put a full stop to her sorrows.

The silent room suddenly awakened with a sharp noise. Henry had placed a sharp slap on Joy's face. It echoed in the extremely quiet ward.

Jean was startled with the sound and she looked up. The scene in front of her was that of Joy covering her red cheek with her hand. Suddenly, Joy let out a loud cry. Humiliation was written all over her face. It was evident that she didn't expect this slap.

As for Henry, he was standing before Joy and staring at her with his eyes widely opened. He accused Joy angrily in a cold voice. "I can't believe that the woman who has slept beside me for all these years is a murderer. Joy, you are so evil. You not only killed Yvette but also ill-treated Jean. How can you be so vicious!"

Before Henry finished his words, he fell down to the floor. Sitting down, he let out a small cry.

"Henry..."

Joy cried out as she watched him fall.

Everyone present was shocked as it happened all of a sudden.

Without wasting any time, Zed hurried to take care of Henry. Henry was already unconscious and his eyes were closed tightly.

"Call the doctor," Zed screamed, looking at Jean.

Jean was astonished and it took her a while to make sense of the situation. Zed called her again and that was when her mind snapped back to reality.

Deep down, guilt overtook Jean. Her intention was to clear her mother's name but she completely forgot to consider how Henry would take this information.

Although Jean wouldn't forgive Henry, she still didn't hate him. He was her father and that love remained. She wished him no harm.

The doctor arrived soon and examined Henry's situation quickly. Then he spoke with a serious look,"The patient got too excited and fainted. But he will hopefully be alright. The question is whether he can wake up on time. If he can't, then there's nothing that I can do to help."

As the doctor finished his words, he left the ward.
