"It's nothing, I'm just happy." Yvonne tugged her hair behind her ears.
Henry raised his eyebrows, "Happy? What's there to be happy about?"
"I am happy about your choice," Yvonne said with a smile. "The moment I heard that Miss Conrad was going to have a second operation, I was nervous and terrified. I was afraid that you would force me to donate my bone marrow for her sake."
"Do I give you the impression that I'm such a person?" Henry's face clouded over with displeasure.
Yvonne lowered her eyes and smiled, "I'm just very worried that your feelings for Miss Conrad will impel you to do something like this."
"I'm not that irrational," Henry snorted with a cold expression.
Yvonne touched the tip of her nose. "I know, but I'm just scared."
But now, she was relieved.
"Alright, you should get some rest. I'm going to take a shower." Henry walked into the bathroom.
Yvonne laid on their bed and rubbed her face against a pillow before she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
The next day, Henry brought her to the hospital.
Shane was quite surprised to see both of them. "Why are both of you here together?"
"We're here for a checkup," Yvonne answered.
Shane pushed up his spectacles. "Checkup? What checkup? Could you be..."
Before he finished speaking, Joe suddenly knocked on the door, "Mr. Lancaster, I've made arrangements at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department. Both of you can go over for the checkup anytime."
"Obstetrics and Gynecology?" Shane stood up, taken aback. He looked incredulously at Yvonne. "You're pregnant?"
Yvonne smiled as she touched her abdomen. "Yes, it's been two months."
"Oh?" Shane's gaze deepened, he clenched his fists in frustration, hiding them within the pockets of his white coat.
A cold smile hung at the corner of Henry's lips," Shane, you don't seem to be very happy for me."
"Of course, I'm happy for you. Congratulations, Henry. You're going to be a father," Shane smiled as he
congratulated Henry, but that smile didn't reach his eyes.
Henry straightened his cuffs. "Thank you, but I hope your congratulations is sincere." 1
Yvonne listened to their conversation and felt that there was some subtle hostility between them.
She wasn't sure if she was mistaken, but there seemed to be some hostility between these two people.
But was that possible? They were best friends. How could there be this hostility?
She probably misunderstood something.
With that in mind, Yvonne decided not to dwell on the issue and looked at the man beside her. "Henry, TH go over first."
"Go ahead, call me after the checkup," Henry answered indifferently.
Shane frowned. "Henry, your wife is going for a maternity checkup. As her husband, shouldn't you accompany her?"
Henry lifted his wrist and looked at his watch, "I'm going to see Jacqueline. I need to tell her something."
"Everything else can wait. There is nothing more important than your wife and child," Shane commented disapprovingly.
Henry looked at him apathetically. He ignored Shane's words and walked out of his office, heading for the hospital wards.
"Henry..." Shane wanted to call Henry back.
Yvonne sighed, "Dr. Summers, let him go."
"You're pregnant, but he does accompany you for your maternity checkup? Instead, he's going to see another woman. Aren't you angry?" Shane looked at her with a strange expression.
Yvonne pursed her lips, "Of course I'm unhappy. But, it doesn't matter. I'm used to it. I'll get going."
