Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 156

Yvonne's expression suddenly hardened. She looked a t Henry's pocket with bitterness.

The person was calling at the wrong time. Why didn’t this person call earlier or later? Why now?

Henry didn't know what Yvonne was thinking about. H e let go of her hand and took his phone out of his pocket to see who was calling.

It was Shane. He answered the phone without any hesitation.

"Henry, something has happened," Shane shouted from the other end of the phone.

Henry's expression turned dark. "What happened?”

"Jacqueline has been discharged," Shane said.

Henry felt a squeeze in his heart. "What did you say? Jacqueline was discharged from the hospital?"

Yvonne was taken aback when she heard this. She paid attention to Henry's conversation.

But Henry did not put Shane on the loudspeaker, so she couldn't hear their conversation at all.

However, this didn't stop her from being surprised.

Jacqueline was discharged from the hospital?

'Why is she risking her life to leave the hospital at this time?'

Even for someone who didn't have any medical knowledge like her, she knew that leukemia patients couldn't leave the hospital at all until they had fully recovered, especially Jacqueline who had just attempted to commit suicide with her unhealed wound. There was a possibility that she'd die if the wound was open again and the bleeding couldn't be stopped in time.

"Yes." Shane nodded. "She just left the hospital."

"Why didn’t you stop her then? She can't leave the hospital in her current condition. Don’t you know that as a doctor?" Henry scolded through the phone.

Shane replied apologetically, "Of course I know, but I can't stop her. Dominic was the one who arranged for her discharge and they're really firm with their decision. That's why I'm calling now to ask you to persuade them."

"Mr. Conrad?" Henry frowned unexpectedly.

Shane sighed, "Yes, half an hour ago. He came to visit Jacqueline at the hospital, but I'm not sure what they were talking about. They were really persistent on getting Jacqueline discharged, so there was no way to persuade him."

Henry pressed his thin lips into a straight line. "I got i t. Please standby at the hospital and I will ask Jacqueline to go back. When she goes back, you have t o immediately check her body condition, especially her wounds."

“I will."

After the phone call ended, Yvonne noticed that Henry did not put his phone away. Instead, he scrolled through his contacts. Yvonne knew this wasn’t over yet.

She wanted to ask what happened to Jacqueline, but gave up on her thoughts after seeing Henry in this situation.

“Henry, I'll help Sue in the kitchen." She went directly t o the kitchen and didn't bother to wait for Henry’s reply.

Henry took a glance at her back, then looked back at his phone until he found Dominic's contact number. H e immediately dialed the number.

Dominic seemed to have been waiting for this call. He answered the call as soon as it rang, "Henry, what’s the matter?"

He had a lazy tone that sounded like he knew why Henry was calling.

Henry could tell from his tone. Then, he narrowed his eyes. “Uncle, was it your idea to discharge Jacqueline from the hospital?"

"Oh, so you are calling regarding this matter," Dominic chuckled. “It was my idea and Jacqueline's.” "Jacqueline?" Henry clenched his teeth. “Uncle, why d o you guys want to be discharged from the hospital? You know Jacqueline’s condition. She is messed up, but why are you acting this way too?"

"Henry, we’ve discussed this before. It's not a sudden decision and I'm doing it for Jacqueline’ssake," Dominic replied while he was sipping red wine on the sofa.

Henry doubted him. "For Jacqueline's sake?"

"Yeah. You do know that Jacqueline will be having an operation soon, but you refused to have Yvonne donate her bone marrow. You even let Jacqueline use other bone marrow to survive. As her father, I can't let this situation happen. I won’t accept it either, so I had t o take Jacqueline out from the hospital.” Although Dominic said this calmly, the resentment in his tone couldn't be concealed.

Henry knew that Dominic was blaming himself for the temporary remorse, so he didn't mind his attitude.

"Uncle, this is my fault, but I have increased my manpower to look for suitable bone marrow donors. But discharging Jacqueline from the hospital all of sudden, what if..."

"Nothing will happen," Dominic interrupted him with a hidden meaning in his words, "because I've found the suitable bone marrow for her. I will arrange for Jacqueline's operation within these two days, so you don't have to worry about it." "You've found a bone marrow donor?" Henry was slightly startled.

Dominic smiled mysteriously, "Exactly. It is precisely why I let Jacqueline be discharged from the hospital. Alright, Henry. I think we're done here. Once Jacqueline's operation is successful, I will call you again. Wait for our good news." 1
