Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 166

Yvonne nodded and said, "You were the one who recommended this psychiatrist to me, and that's why I'm thanking you.”

"Hmm? But it was..." said Shane but his face suddenly twisted before he could continue.

Yvonne said with a puzzled look, "Are you alright?"

"Of course," Shane said while giving her an awkward smile.

"Are you sure? It sounded as if you were just about to say something," said Yvonne.

After a slight cough, he added, "It's nothing. I accidentally bit my tongue, that's all."

"Is that so?" Yvonne had a gut feeling that something wasn't right, but she decided not to pursue any further since he insisted that nothing was wrong.

Seeing that Yvonne didn't press the matter, Shane quietly let out a sigh of relief while he slowly shifted himself towards Sue’s direction. He said in a very low tone, "Is it ok if you let go of my foot now Sue?"

"Of course Dr. Summers, but may I remind you to please refrain from saying anything unnecessary? Anything related to sir should be the last thing she needs to hear right now. That's why I told her that it was you who recommended the psychiatrist, and you almost blew it," Sue said with an insincere smile as she let go of Shane's foot.

Shane adjusted his glasses. "You should've given me a heads up before I came in. I didn't know you were lying to her about this."

"Alright, that's enough now," Sue snapped.

Shane looked down at his dirtied shoe and couldn't help himself from laughing. "Alright, I'd better make a move now, get some rest Yvonne."

"Alright, take care," Sue said as she laid back down.

Shane took her medical records with him as he left. H e was immediately stopped by Henry when he stepped out of the room.

Shane rolled his eyes. "You're still here?"

"When can she be discharged?" Henry asked, ignoring Shane's question.

With a very serious look on his face, Henry said, "She’s completely bedridden Henry, how do you expect her to be discharged anytime soon?" 1

"I don’t, it was an honest question," replied Henry with his lips pursed.

Shane crossed his arms. "It’s going to be a while. Her stomach wound has to close up and heal before she can even leave, but even if she does get discharged, she has to return for a follow-up checkup frequently. She has already donated her bone marrow twice. Do you think she'd be completely fine?"

Henry was speechless.

Shane sighed. "Go home Henry. What's the point of staying here if she has no intention of seeing you? You'd be better off figuring out ways to seek her forgiveness."

With that comment, Shane walked off.

Henry leaned back against the stone-cold wall, his mind deep in thought.

Forgiveness?

Could she ever forgive him for what he did to her? i

Even if he decided to come clean and tell her the full truth, even if she knew that he had nothing to do with this, Henry couldn't imagine Yvonne forgiving him. 1

Creak!

The door to Yvonne's ward creaked open again.

Sue was holding a jug as she walked out of the ward. A s soon as she noticed Henry was leaning against the wall with a lighted cigarette in his hands, she scoffed a t him abruptly.

"Sir, what are you doing? Your wife is in there recuperating, yet here you are smoking just outside of her ward. What if the odor spreads inside?" Sue coldly scowled.

Henry was startled but he reacted almost immediately and said, "Sorry."

He pinched and threw away the cigarette butt without hesitation.

Sue remained cold as she said, "If you must smoke, please return home and do it."

She walked past him towards the direction of the water dispenser to fill up the jug.

"Wait," said Henry.

Sue frowned. "Is something the matter sir?"

"How is she?" asked Henry as he looked at Yvonne's ward.

Sue coldly replied, "Thanks to you sir, madam is unable to even move due to the pain throughout her entire body.”

"You know about it, don't you?" Henry could sense that she knew from her sarcasm.

Sue scowled, "Madam told me that sir forcefully made her donate her bone marrow, even sacrificing your own child just to save that Conrad girl. Sir, you even lied to me by saying that madam fell on her own.

What were you even thinking sir?"

Henry averted his eyes to conceal his expression. "You may leave now."

He only said this to avoid the matter from worsening - he also didn't want to drag Jacqueline into this mess.

Anyhow, Henry had already made up his mind that he would bear sole responsibility for this case.

But he hadn't expected Yvonne to tell Sue everything, even though it wasn't the entire truth.
