"Bone marrow rejection can be suppressed." Henry replied.
Dominic choked before he argued again, "It can be suppressed, but the process will also be torturous, so why are you doing this, Henry? I'm just getting
Yvonne to donate a little bone marrow. It won't kill her. Why are you suddenly against it? Do you know this could kill Jacqueline!"
"I know. I won't let Jacqueline die, but Yvonne can't donate her bone marrow either," as he said this, Henry's expression had never been more earnest.
Dominic eyed Henry suspiciously, "Henry, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"It's nothing. But I've already made the final decision." Henry answered blandly.
Dominic didn't give up, "Something must have happened to you. Why would you change your attitude all of a sudden? Didn't you say that you would find a way to make Yvonne agree to donate her bone marrow?"
"She has already donated once. She can't donate again or her body won't be able to handle it."
"When did you start caring about her?" Dominic was surprised.
Henry wrinkled his eyebrows, "So, I can't show her any concern?"
Dominic smiled, "I don't mean it that way. I just find it a little strange. You don't have any feelings for Yvonne. In the past three years, I haven't seen you show her the least bit of concern. Why are you suddenly... Henry, you're not in love with her, are you?" 2
Henry's eyes darkened when he heard those words.
How many people had already said these words to him?
The third or the fourth?
Why did they all think that he was in love with Yvonne the moment he showed the littlest bit of concern for her?
"No!" Henry refuted quietly.
He was definitely not in love with Yvonne.
Dominic was slightly relieved when he heard him say that. "It's fine if that's the case. I thought you really were smitten with that woman so you didn't want her t 0 donate her bone marrow. Henry, you mustn't fall for her. If so, what will happen to Jacqueline?"
"Jacqueline didn't say anything to you?" Henry raised his eyebrows.
Domonic was confused, "What should Jacqueline tell me?" "It's impossible for Jacqueline and me to be together." "This..." Dominic was nonplussed, "Henry, are you serious? What do you mean by it's impossible? For you, Jacqueline..."
"Alright, Mr. Conrad, there's no need to elaborate on this. The only reason I called you tonight is to tell you that I won't let Yvonne donate her bone marrow. I'll personally inform Jacqueline. So, don't worry about that. Goodbye!" Henry directly hung up the phone without saying anything more.
After hanging up, he did not put the phone down. Instead, he called Joe again to request for him to recommend a good obstetrician.
Since Yvonne had donated her bone marrow previously, she needed a thorough physical examination to make sure that the child in her womb was safe.
Joe was quite surprised when Henry asked him to look for an obstetrician.
"If Mr. Lancaster is looking for an obstetrician, does it mean that your wife is pregnant?" Joe immediately guessed the reason.
Henry didn't have any reason to hide that so he acknowledged it curtly.
Joe opened his mouth wide with surprise, "So it's actually true. Congratulations, Mr. Lancaster."
"Thank you." The corner of Henry's lips lifted slightly and he seemed to be in a good mood, "Make
arrangements quickly, I'll bring Yvonne over tomorrow."
"Okay Mr. Lancaster, I'll make the arrangements," Joe promised.
After the conversation ended, Henry sat in the study for a while longer before getting up and leaving to go back to his room.
Henry thought that Yvonne had fallen asleep, but when he went into the bedroom, he didn't expect to see her sitting on the bed in a daze.
Caught in her reverie, she didn't even have a cardigan on, apparently unworried about catching a cold.
"Why are you still awake?" Henry walked over to her. H e took off his jacket and threw it at her head.
The jacket slid down her head and stopped at her shoulder, quite coincidentally.
