"Yes," Henry said without looking into Yvonne’s eyes.
Yvonne sneered, "Even if I can, I won't have children with you. I don't want the child to be a tool for you to please Jacqueline again."
"I didn't please Jackie," Henry frowned.
Yvonne yawned, "Whatever. I don't care anymore. Get out, I want to sleep."
She closed her eyes again and ignored him.
Henry looked at her deeply for a while. Then, he got up and walked out of the ward.
Yvonne slept until the next day. It was already afternoon when she woke up.
She saw Sue asleep sitting next to her bed.
"Sue," Yvonne called out to her in a hoarse voice while slowly moving her body.
After hearing Yvonne’s voice, Sue quickly opened her eyes. "Madam, you're awake."
"Yeah," Yvonne replied weakly. She then asked, "Is there any water?"
"Yes yes yes, madam. Please don’t move. I’ll pour some water for you." Sue held Yvonne to prevent her from moving too much. Then, she got up and poured a glass of water for Yvonne.
Yvonne took a few sips of water with Sue’s help and her dry throat felt much better. "Thank you."
"No problem,” Sue smiled and put the glass of water o n the bedside.
Yvonne looked at her. "Oh yeah, Sue. Why are you here? Didn’t you go home?"
“I did go back, but I received a call from Joe last night and he asked me to come back to take care of you. I asked him if something happened to you, but he refused to say anything. All he asked was for me to come back quickly. I didn't know you had a miscarriage until I came back, madam.” At this point, Sue’s eyes reddened as she felt distressed.
Yvonne felt a thump in the heart when she heard the word ‘miscarriage.’
"Madam, how did you fall?" Sue asked urgently.
Yvonne was shocked. "Fall?"
"Yes, I asked sir this morning. Sir said that you had a miscarriage because you fell. I just went back for a day and this happened to you. If I knew this would happen, I should have stayed to take care of you instead of going back,” Sue sighed.
Yvonne trembled angrily. "Did Henry really tell you that? He said 1 lost my child because I fell?”
"Yeah, isn’t that true?" Sue felt something wasn't right.
Yvonne clenched her fists tightly with hatred filling
her eyes. "How can he say that? How can he!”
Her child was obviously forced to be aborted just to save Jacqueline. The child was even called a devil’s spawn.
And now in order to hide the truth, he said that Yvonne had a miscarriage because she fell. It was too much.
"Madam, what's the matter with you?" Sue was scared seeing Yvonne so angry, and she quickly calmed her down. "Madam, please calm down. Don’t move or the wound will open again."
"Sue!" Yvonne looked at her tearfully. "I hate them, I really hate them!"
Sue was stunned. "Madam, who do you hate?"
"I hate Henry. I hate Jacqueline. I hate them. I hate them to death. If it weren’t for them, my child would not have died. It was all their fault, it was all of them..." Yvonne burst into tears again.
This time, Sue was completely sure that something was wrong. She squinted her eyes and asked Yvonne," Madam, isn't your child gone because you fell?"
"It's Henry. He was the one who forcibly took my bone marrow and aborted my child just to save Jacqueline!" Yvonne shouted while clutching to the quilt.
Sue's pupils suddenly shrunk. She was completely stunned and it took her a long time to react. "How can this be, didn't sir say..."
"He's a liar. I never fell," Yvonne cried out.
Sue's face was pale. "If this is the case, why did sir lie and why would he do such a thing? This is his child too. Didn't he have a conscience when he did this for Jacqueline?"
