His blood was boiling.
Henry was faced with a challenge as he walked through the hospital corridors. He had to maintain control of his emotions. He felt a sense of betrayal that threatened to overwhelm his composure.

Henry understood that he had to maintain his dignity and demeanor as a public person. Henry chose to conceal his internal struggles from prying eyes. He was determined to not give Andrea the satisfaction of seeing him fall into despair or vulnerability.
He was determined to stay composed, even though it meant burying his emotions. No matter how difficult it was, he was determined not to let his anger come out. He was determined not to let Andrea win and he was also determined to maintain his composure. No matter how difficult it was, he was determined not to let his emotions win. He was determined to maintain his composure and present a strong face, even if that meant burying his emotions.
Faking smile
She did exactly that. Her smile grew as soon as Henry and Tommy entered the room. She was surprised when she saw them as Julia had only just left. She greeted Henry and hugged him. Henry, however, was not in the mood to be affectionate. He was no longer able to believe anything Andrea did or said.
He refused to participate in their private bedroom. He just stared at her coldly and walked away. Andrea was surprised by his reaction but kept on with the act. She tried to have a small conversation with Tommy but he was as non-responsive as Henry. She could sense the tension in that room and knew her performance was not working.
