Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 299

"She's past the critical stage, but she still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for quite some time," said the dispirited Lynette.

Yvonne bit her lip. "Lyn..."

She never expected so much to have happened to Lynette's family in such a short time while she was away.

"I'm alright." Lynette shook her head and cooled herself. "I better get going now, I’ll talk to you again next time Yvonne."

After that, Lynette packed her things into a carton box and left the office with it when she was done.

Yvonne watched as Lynette left, her heart displeased.

"I wonder if there's something I can do to help?" muttered Yvonne.

At that moment, her phone rang, cutting off her thoughts.

She took out her phone and glanced at her screen. Joe was calling her.

Without delay, she answered and placed the phone by her ear after checking her surroundings. "Hello Joe."

"Madam, have you picked up your stuff?" asked Joe.

Yvonne looked at the documents that she had taken

out from her desk. "I have."

"Then you should head back down soon. I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot," said Joe.

Yvonne acknowledged it and hung up the phone.

Shortly after, she picked up her own documents, turned her head, and stared at Lynette’s desk for a while before leaving the office with a sigh.

She actually had some questions for Lynette but Lynette had left so soon that she couldn’t even begin t o ask.

The only way she would be able to meet Lynette next time would be to visit her at the hospital while visiting her mom at the same time. She could also check and see if there was anything that she could do t o help at the same time. 1

On the way, Yvonne absent-mindedly looked out of the window with a frown. She was emotionally down a t the time.

Joe looked at her through the front mirror quite a few times. In the end, he couldn't stop himself from asking, "Are you alright madam?"

Yvonne shook her head and said, "I'm fine, it's just..."

Yvonne suddenly straightened her back with her hands placed on the window. Her eyes were fixated o n a particular area.

Joe asked out of curiosity, "What do you see madam?" He did not dare to avert his eyes as he was driving. Hence he couldn’t notice anything unusual outside.

Yvonne did not answer immediately, not until the car came to a halt on the next street. Yvonne put down her hands and her expression showed that she was slightly excited as she said, "I just saw Jacqueline.”

"Ms. Conrad?” Joe raised an eyebrow.

Yvonne acknowledged him and said, "She was just outside a cafe with a non-local man. They seemed to b e arguing over something..."

"A man from overseas?" Joe's eyes flashed through his glasses. "Madam, the man you were referring to, was h e dressed fancily with gold hair?”

"I think so. I wasn’t able to see clearly," said Yvonne, a little unsure herself.

Joe tightly gripped the steering wheel. "I believe it’s him."

"You seem to know who the guy is, am I right?"

Yvonne looked at Joe from behind.

Joe nodded his head. "Mr. Lancaster probably mentioned to you about a guy called Liam, right?"

"Liam..." Yvonne said the name repeatedly, and her eyes suddenly opened wide. "You're saying that the man I just saw is Liam? The man that Jacqueline truly loves?" "That's right."

Yvonne twitched her lips. "I must be seeing things!" "What's wrong?" asked Joe.

Yvonne recalled the image she had just seen a while ago and trembled. "I just realized that Jacqueline's taste is rather peculiar for falling in love with that man. Although I have never met Liam in person, I'm sure that he's not a nice man after seeing him momentarily just now."

"You seem to have a knack at judging a person's character madam," said Joe as he laughed.

Yvonne rubbed her cheeks. "I'm merely talking about my first impression of Liam."

"Is that so. However, you're not wrong, madam. Liam truly isn't a nice man at all," replied Joe.
