Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 145

Yvonne pursed her lips and remained silent.

Elliot took a glance at her and walked towards the door. "I just have to say this: he doesn't love you. That's why he's not accompanying you on your birthday. If he loves you, even if it's a contract that’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he'd put it off. Don't you think so?"

Yvonne did not say a word.

Elliot understood how Yvonne felt and he remained silent. Then, he switched off the lights in the ward.

The room darkened instantly and a source of light from the bedside was the only thing that was bright in the room.

Yvonne turned her head over and realized that Elliot had actually lit a candle on a cake for her.

"You..."

"Shh!" Elliot raised a finger and motioned for her not t o speak.

Yvonne closed her mouth in surprise as Elliot walked towards her with the cake and sang a birthday song.

He had a really gentle voice and when he sang the birthday song, and Yvonne was soothed by his voice even more.

Yvonne’s surprise gradually turned into affection with tears overflowing in her eyes.

When Elliot noticed her tears, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He then approached her with his good-looking face that every woman admired. "Are you crying?"

Yvonne turned her head away. "No.”

"I saw that. You were crying." Elliot smiled.

Yvonne snorted. "When I say no, it means no."

"Don’t deny it. I saw you wiping your eyes. Are you touched?"

This time, Yvonne did not deny it anymore. She looked into his eyes and said, "Yes, I was really touched by you. I've never thought that you'd be the one who would accompany me on my birthday."

She didn't understand why Elliot was always so nice t o her.

But at this moment, she was really grateful to him.

Elliot didn’t expect Yvonne to pour out her feelings to him. Initially, he only wanted to tease her. However, now that she admitted to it, he felt embarrassed.

"Uhm." Elliot coughed twice, quickly regathered his thoughts, and handed the cake to Yvonne. "Make a wish."

Yvonne was amazed looking at the firelight. With Elliot's encouragement, Yvonne closed her eyes to

make a wish.

She made three wishes. The first wish she made was that she hoped what Elliot said wasn’t true. She didn’t believe that her bone marrow donation was the reason why Henry had kept it a secret from her.

Secondly, she wished for Henry to be separated from Jacqueline as soon as possible and return to the family.

As for the third wish, she hoped that the child in her belly would be born safely.

After making the three wishes, Yvonne opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Elliot's eyes, which were as black as jewels.

"Are you done with your wishes?” he asked.

Yvonne nodded.

"What did you wish for?"

"I’m not gonna tell you," Yvonne said playfully.

Elliot stared at her for a while with his flickering eyes. Then he kept his calm. "Forget it. Just blow out the candles.”

"Alright,” Yvonne responded and gently blew the candles off.

Elliot cut a small piece of cake for her. "You're still on drips now, so you can’t eat too much. Just a little bit will do. Open your mouth."

Yvonne did not reject Elliot. She opened her mouth and took a bite of the cake.

"How does it taste?" Elliot put the rest of the cake aside.

Yvonne licked the corner of her mouth. "It's delicious."

"That's good." Elliot smiled.

Yvonne looked at the drip irrigation equipment at her bedside. "Can I be discharged after this infusion?"

"Why, do you want to be discharged?"

"Yeah, I can't stay in the hospital all the time. Sue will be worried if I'm still not back yet."

"Then just call to inform her." Elliot handed Yvonne his phone.

Yvonne thought for a while and felt that it was time to call Sue anyway.

After all, she hadn't gone back after being out for so long. Sue must be very anxious.

Yvonne took the phone and looked at the time. She realized that it was almost nine o'clock.
