Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 164

"Yes, after what she's been through and the fact that her baby is gone, she can't take it psychologically no matter how strong she is. What if she takes things too hard?" Shane looked at the door of the hospital room, his eyes filled with worry.

Even though Henry was slightly aggravated by

Shane's gaze, he had to admit that Shane was right. 1

"I know. I'll make the arrangements, you don't have to worry." Henry snapped coldly, i

Shane quipped, "If you treated your wife a little nicer, I wouldn't have to constantly remind you about these kinds of things."

Henry clenched his fists, "Have you said enough? You sure care a lot for her."

"Yeah, I care about her because I pity her for meeting a man like you. It's no wonder why she said she's come t o her senses this time." With that, Shane turned to walk away.

Henry called out to him, "Hey, stop!"

Shane stopped. "What's wrong?"

"What do you mean by she's come to her senses? What exactly did both of you discuss in the hospital room?" Henry glared at him.

Shane pushed up his spectacles and smiled, "We did exchange some words. But I promised her that I'd keep her secret, so I can't tell you. If you want to know, you can ask her yourself." 1

He shrugged his shoulders and walked away after saying that.

Henry watched Shane's back with a somber expression, the temperature around him falling a few degrees colder.

Henry was concerned about Shane's earlier comments about Yvonne coming to her senses. He couldn't help feeling that something was going to happen.

Was he overthinking it?

"Mr. Lancaster." Joe walked over from the distance carrying a lunch box.

Henry gathered his thoughts, "Why are you here?"

"I've brought you lunch." Joe tried to hand over the lunch box.

Henry took a glance at it, "No, I don't have any appetite."

"No, sir, you haven't eaten for almost a day. It isn't good for your body. You better eat some," Joe advised.

Henry shook his head. "No, you can eat by yourself."

He was so stubborn about it that Joe couldn't persuade him. Eventually, Joe could only sigh and put the lunch box down.

Joe saw Henry looking at the door to Yvonne's ward and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lancaster, are you worried about your wife?"

Henry's eyes were lowered. He didn't answer.

Joe stroked his own nose awkwardly and did not push the question further. He changed the subject, "M r. Lancaster, you have an overseas video conference meeting tonight. What time do you plan to go back?"

"Postpone it. I'm not going back," Henry instructed dryly.

Joe wasn't surprised by his response. After all, Mr. Lancaster really wasn’t in the mood for any meetings right now.

"I know. I'll inform them," Joe replied.

Henry acknowledged it cursorily. "Also, go arrange for a psychiatrist and call Sue back."

He would feel more assured if Sue was taking care of Yvonne.

"Okay." Joe nodded. "Mr. Lancaster, is there anything else?"

"No, just do what you're told." Henry waved his hand.

Joe left the hospital immediately and carried out Henry's instructions.

Once again, Henry was left alone in the hospital corridor.

He sat in a cold chair staring at Yvonne's hospital ward with unmoving eyes. A long time passed as he continued staring.

When Shane came back, he couldn't help feeling a bit bewildered when he noticed that Henry had not left and was just sitting there.

However, Shane ignored Henry and just opened the door to Yvonne's hospital ward. He walked in and examined her once more.

When Shane finished the examination, Henry finally made his move.

"How is she doing?" Henry stopped Shane and asked.

Shane rolled his eyes, "What else? It's just like before. But why haven't you left? Have you been sitting here this whole time?"
