Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 144

"Don't you understand it yet?" Elliot made his way to face Yvonne. "What I'm saying is, Jacqueline Conrad still needs your bone marrow!"

"That’s impossible!" Yvonne's eyes widened as she raised her voice. "You’re lying to me!"

Elliot replied somberly, "I'm not lying to you. I'm speaking the truth. You can ask Mr. Lancaster if you don't believe me. See if he tells you the truth."

"I don’t believe it." Yvonne shook her head as she paced backward. "I donated my bone marrow to Jacqueline once. Her surgery was a success. Why would she need my bone marrow again?"

"This is what I want to tell you. Her leukemia is in the late stage. Although medical science can now heal this cancer, the price required is pretty damn high, especially for someone with a rare blood type like Jacqueline Conrad. One surgery is not enough to fully heal her," Elliot explained.

To make Yvonne believe his words, he fished out his phone to search for details about late-stage leukemia treatment.

"Read it yourself." He passed her his phone.

With trembling hands, Yvonne took the phone and felt her heart sink to the deepest pit and chilled to the core after reading it. It was true!

Jacqueline's leukemia required several bone marrow transplants.

This was it! This was what Henry had been wanting to tell her but didn't.

For a moment, it felt like there were countless needles pricking Yvonne's heart. She gripped the phone tightly like she was going to crush it.

Elliot saved his phone immediately. "Excuse me, this i s my phone.”

"Sorry," Yvonne apologized as she cooled down.

Pocketing his phone, Elliot smiled casually. "So, you believe me now?"

After a moment of silence, Yvonne looked at him with mixed feelings. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I told you, I like you. I can't bear to watch you giving and giving to them," Elliot answered, "Yvonne, I told you right? Mr. Lancaster is not someone worthy for you to devote yourself to. You'll only be hurt staying with him. He's repeatedly requesting his wife's bone marrow for his first love basically."

Yvonne felt another pang in her heart. It was not just her heart. Her stomach also felt the ache.

She squatted down holding to the wall next to her as blood began to drain away from her face.

Elliot was stunned looking at her before realizing that i t was serious. “What’s wrong with you?"

"It hurts," Yvonne told him with sweat dotting her forehead.

"Where?” Elliot got down to her level.

"Stomach." Yvonne grabbed his hand, panting, and pleaded, "Mr. Taylor, please, send me to the hospital. Save my baby..."

Elliot winced as he carried her instantly and rushed to the parking lot. As he brisk walked, he comforted her, " Don’t worry. I won't let anything happen to you." 1

Yvonne was limp in his embrace with her hands on her stomach. She felt a sense of warmth when she heard what he said. "Thank you..."

"Don't talk anymore. Conserve some energy,” Elliot said softly.

Yvonne nodded and closed her eyes.

When Elliot saw her following his words, he could not help chuckling. Placing her in his car, he then sped off to the nearest hospital from the park.

One hour and a series of checkups later, Elliot looked a t the woman who was wearing a drip laid on the bed while he summoned the doctor and asked, "How's she?"

"She's fine for now,” answered the doctor.

Elliot breathed in relief. "What about her baby?"

"Baby’s fine too. But if this happens again, that baby won’t be able to keep up for sure," the doctor said

seriously.

Elliot stroked his chin, puzzled. "She suddenly cried out saying her stomach hurts. Why's that?"
