Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 123

"Certainly. But compared to average pregnant women, your risk is still much higher," the doctor said gently with his hands clasped together.

Yvonne smiled bitterly. "I understand. I'll be careful. Thank you, doctor. Is there anything else that I should be mindful of?"

"That'll be all. You'll have to come often for the checks to ensure your baby’s doing fine."

"Okay, I will." Yvonne got up and bowed slightly to the doctor before leaving.

Lynette was on the phone when Yvonne got out. She impatiently talked over the line before hanging up.

"Yvonne, you’re done?" Lynette asked, holding her phone.

Yvonne forced a smile and nodded.

Noticing her unnatural state, Lynette creased her brows. "What did the doctor say?"

Yvonne looked down. "The doctor says that I have some problems with my health and the chances of miscarriage are very high."

"What?" Lynette was so shocked that she raised the volume of her voice. "What's wrong with your health?" "Lyn, don't ask. Let me recollect myself." Yvonne

walked past her to sit down on a bench.

Lynette went over to her. "Yvonne, you're making me worry by not saying anything."

"I know you are but I really can't say it. Lyn, please understand." Yvonne closed her eyes tiredly.

Lynette sighed. "Sure I'll understand. Then tell me, other than a higher probability of a miscarriage, will it affect your baby?"

"The doctor didn't say anything about this. Probably not," Yvonne answered with her eyes still closed.

Lynette felt more assured then. "That's good. As long a s you take care of your health, you can still give birth t o a healthy baby, right?"

"Mm.” Yvonne nodded.

Lynette cracked a smile. "That's it then. What's there t o fret about? Go back to your husband - your husband is friends with Mr. Lancaster. I believe that Mr.

Lancaster will allow you to take maternity leave earlier if your husband talks to him about it. Then rest and take care of yourself at home."

"I'll think about it," Yvonne replied softly. Opening her eyes, she asked curiously, "Who were you talking to just now? You sounded pissed.”

"It's the doctor who’s treating my dad's legs." Lynette glowered.

Yvonne raised her doubt. "Is it still the same doctor?"

"Yes. He called me to tell me that he’s going overseas t o advance his studies and won’t be treating my dad in the future.’’

"What? Then what's going to happen to uncle?” 1

Lynette's gaze dimmed. "Recuperating at home, I guess. You know how his legs are doing. It's not getting better after so many years of treatment. This is probably how he's going to be for the rest of his life. M y dad actually thought of stopping the treatment a long time ago too."

"No way. Uncle's legs should be able to recover if we get a suitable doctor," Yvonne comforted her.

Lynette nodded. "Easier said than done. A family like u s won’t have the resources to find him a suitable doctor."

Yvonne's lips parted but she said nothing. After a while, she spoke hesitantly. "I can ask my husband?"

"Your husband?" Lynette was stunned before she caught on and her eyes brimmed with emotions." Right, how could I forget your husband? Your husband's friends with Mr. Lancaster. He probably has a high social standing. He must be able to find a doctor who works. Yvonne, help me out!"

She grasped Yvonne's hands with both of hers.

Yvonne took a deep breath. "I'll try my best to persuade my husband but I don't guarantee that he’ll agree. After all, he's quite the aloof type.”

"It's okay, just do your best. I won’t blame you if your husband doesn't agree. But if he does, I'll be utmost grateful to both of you." Lynette's eyes rimmed red from her joy.

Patting the back of Lynette's hands, Yvonne did not respond. Honestly, she was not confident in persuading Henry to find a doctor. He was genuinely distant, and she did not want to be begging him for things.

Once she thought about Lynette's father, the middle-aged man who was as kind to her as Lynette, she could not bear to not do anything.
