Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 146

"Mister, please turn around to Summers Hospital," Yvonne told the car driver.

She could still take it during the day, but it was lapsing into the second day now. Her birthday was almost over. She could not wait any longer.

She had to see for herself what Henry and Jacqueline were doing. Was he spending time with Jacqueline for her birthday or did something really happen to the latter? Doubtful, Yvonne arrived at the hospital with a heavy heart.

Standing at the entrance and peering up at the signage, she inhaled deeply before walking inside.

Entering Jacqueline's ward, she was in no hurry to knock, taking a glimpse through the glass on the door instead. It was a special private ward, so she could only catch sight of a small part of the room. She could not even see the hospital bed or if Henry was inside.

Futile, she reeled in her searching gaze and knocked o n the door.

Footsteps were briefly heard.

Putting her hand down, Yvonne waited for the person t o open the door with a bated breath. When the door was opened, a familiar man's cologne greeted her.

Without even looking, she knew who the person was.

Clenching her fists, Yvonne's lips pursed sadly. "Henry"

"Why are you here..." Fatigue dripped from Henry’s gruff voice as he looked at her.

Yvonne bit her lips. "I'm here to see you and Miss Conrad."

"You came to see us in the middle of the night?" Henry frowned.

Yvonne hung her head. So he knew that it was late at night too. Why did he not go back then?

"Can I go in and see Miss Conrad?" Yvonne asked carefully.

Henry stood unmoved at the door. "There’s nothing to see. Go home."

Yvonne stayed rooted as well. "I'm not going back. I'm already here. Just let me have a look at her. You left in such a hurry during the day that I'm worried if something happened to Miss Conrad too."

"You’re worried?" Henry's tone turned biting.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes..."

"Hah, you'd be worried too?" the man mocked.

Puzzled by his words, Yvonne looked up at him in confusion. "Is—is there a problem?"

"Yvonne Frey, what’s the meaning of pretending to be dumb?" Henry looked up at her with a piercing gaze. "

Isn't this what you did to Jackie?” "Me?" Yvonne pointed at herself in a startle.

Did something actually happen to Jacqueline?

He was here not for her birthday but to check on her then. With this thought, Yvonne grabbed Henry's arm and asked, "Henry, what happened to Miss Conrad?" 1

"Stop putting up a front!” Henry flung her hand away.

He put in a lot of strength, causing Yvonne who did not anticipate the movement to fall backward. Yvonne was too shocked that her mind blanked, forgetting to react.

Just then, a flash of white sprinted over and caught her in an embrace, preventing her fall.

"You alright?” Shane asked Yvonne in concern.

With lingering fear, Yvonne shook her head. "I'm fine.

Thank you!”

She got up from his hold and bowed to him gratefully. I f he had not appeared in time and saved her, her baby would be lost from the fall and the culprit of the tragedy would be the baby’s biological father!

Yvonne looked toward Henry, wronged and disapproving.

Still riled about Shane saving Yvonne in his arms, Henry felt his flame of fury burn brighter when he caught a glimpse of her gaze. "Yvonne Frey, what's the meaning of this?"
