Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 297

"She's still there. Ms. Conrad has been living in the Conrad villa and hasn't left since," replied Joe.

Yvonne raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "That’s strange."

"Why's it strange?" Henry looked at her.

Yvonne explained, "Why would Jacqueline still be in Vancouver when Dominic's already left? The Conrads have already become enemies with the Lancasters. Now that Dominic's left, isn’t Jacqueline afraid of the Lancasters looking for her?" 1

"Madam's quite right." Joe adjusted his glasses.

Henry murmured, "It doesn't matter what her reason for staying here is. As long as she's in Vancouver, you are to surveil her at all costs. She’s Dominic's only daughter. He will contact her for sure and she will lead us to him as long as we keep an eye on her."

"Yes sir." Joe nodded his head.

Henry waved his hand. "That'll be all—you may leave now."

"Understood." Joe turned and left.

Only the couple was left in the ward after Joe left.

Yvonne opened her mouth to try and say something but decided not to in the end.

Henry helped cover a blanket over her. "Say whatever you want to say."

"Erm... It’s nothing actually, I only want to say that Jacqueline is not Dominic's only daughter. She still has an elder sister," said Yvonne.

Henry squinted his eyes. "Where did you hear that?"

How could he not know that Dominic had another daughter?

"From Elliot," answered Yvonne honestly.

Henry's face darkened when he heard that name. " When did he tell you this?"

"Just a few days ago."

"You mustn't believe him!" groaned Henry coldly.

Yvonne pondered for about two seconds before saying, "What if he was telling the truth?”

"Even if it was the truth, what's it got to do with us?" Henry casually picked up a magazine and began flipping through the pages.

Yvonne thought about it and agreed with him, then stopped commenting further and began closing her eyes with a yawn.

Henry glanced at her and noticed that she was getting sleepy. He stopped flipping the magazines and put them away after waiting for her to sleep. He then got u p and quietly left.

Soon, a week passed by in the blink of an eye.

Yvonne's injuries were mostly recovered, the bruises o n her face and neck had healed, and there was not a scar to be seen.

Only her ribs needed a longer time to recover. She was advised to continue resting for a while for it to heal.

"Are you done packing madam?” Sue walked into Yvonne's ward with the discharge documents in her hands.

Yvonne was changing into her new shoes. She answered as soon as she heard Sue's question, "I’m done."

"Then let’s make a move." Sue picked up the luggage that was next to Yvonne.

When both of them left the ward, Shane was walking i n their direction.

The first thing Shane saw was Sue carrying a luggage bag and then his gaze was fixed on Yvonne’s gaunt face. A saddened look was reflected behind Shane's glasses as he said, "Are you sure you want to be discharged?"

"Yes, there’s no need for me to take advantage of the hospital's resources anymore now that I am able to get out of bed myself," joked Yvonne with a smile.

Shane sighed and said, "Alright then, I won’t comment any further since you have already made your decision. I was actually planning to ask you to stay here for a few more days." "I can't bring myself to like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital." Yvonne twitched her nose. "So I think I'd better leave now."

Shane smiled as he heard Yvonne's joke. "I suppose you'd be right to return home, but you mustn't move about and focus on your recovery back at the villa. Things aren't as peaceful as they used to be at the Lancasters."

"I know, I don't want to bring any trouble to Henry.” Yvonne stroked her short hair.

Shane's expression turned serious. "I'm asking you to take care of yourself."
