Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 31

"No.” Shane shook his head, then readjusted the expression on his face with a smile. "Our nurse just made a mistake in the data and didn't know how to rectify it, so she asked for help."

"Is that so?" Yvonne knitted her beautiful eyebrows, unable to shake off the feeling that there was something wrong with his words yet she couldn't quite put a finger on it. 1

"Of course. If there was really something wrong with your blood test, I couldn’t possibly hide it from you as a doctor." 1

Yvonne thought that it made sense, so she said nothing and quickly calmed down.

She was glad to hear that her blood test went well.

"Well, it's almost time. Let's go sis-in-law, I’ll take you t o the CT scan room to check your heart," Shane changed the subject calmly.

Yvonne hummed and followed him to the CT scan room.

When they were halfway there, Shane suddenly turned around. "By the way, you mentioned that your mother is biased to her son right?"

Yvonne nodded, "Yeah, I did. What's the matter?" "Just a random question." Shane turned back as his eyes turned dark. "I'm just wondering why she favors her son more.” 1

"Does anyone need a reason for that?" Yvonne felt that Shane was asking a dumb question. She curled her lips, "Because only the son can carry on the family’s name!"

Light reflected off Shane's glasses. "Although this has always been the case since ancient times, there are always some exceptions..."

"What do you mean?" Yvonne tilted her head in confusion.

"Nothing!" Shane smiled, then took out a card from his pocket and tapped it on the reader. "We’ve reached the CT scan room, come in."

"Alright!" Yvonne went in with him.

By the time they completed the physical examination, two hours had passed.

Yvonne came out of the washroom while pounding on her lower back, then rested on a lounge chair in the corridor and rested. Shane offered her a cup of water from the pantry. "Here, drink up."

"Thank you." Yvonne accepted the cup with both hands.

"You don't need to thank me. Henry handed you over t o me so naturally, I’ll have to look after you during this period." Shane winked at her.

Yvonne's face turned red. She quickly lowered her head and tried not to make eye contact with him.

Shane was greatly amused by her shyness and awkwardness. 1

Although this woman wasn't a beauty, she was quite adorable when blushing from her shyness.

It was a pity that she had married Henry. Otherwise, Shane would have definitely tried to go out with her. After all, he had never dated this type of girlfriend yet. 2

Shane coughed twice and suppressed the inappropriate thoughts. He took a glance at his watch. "Sis-in-law, there’s still some time before we get the results. Why don’t you rest in my office? Henry should still be there. I'll come look for both of you when I get the results.”

"Sure." Yvonne finished the remaining water in the paper cup and returned to Shane's office.

Aside from another nurse who was sorting out the patients' medical records in his office, Henry was nowhere to be seen.

Did he leave?

Yvonne looked around and her eyes dimmed. "Excuse me, have you seen a very tall and good-looking gentleman?”

"You're referring to Mr. Lancaster?" the nurse asked her.

Yvonne nodded quickly, "Yes, do you know where he went?"

"Mr. Lancaster went to see Miss Conrad in the special private ward."

"Miss Conrad?" Yvonne was slightly taken aback.

Could it be Jacqueline Conrad?

"Which floor is the special private ward on?”

"The ninth floor."

After asking for Jacqueline Conrad's ward floor and room number, Yvonne took a deep breath and decided to meet her.

She was really curious about Jacqueline Conrad.

She was curious to know what she looked like and was even more curious about the relationship between Henry and her.

Yvonne wasn’t a fool either. Henry was willing to risk his wife suffering from long-term side effects for Jacqueline rather than giving up on the idea of making her the bone marrow donor. It was evident that Jacqueline and he weren't just simple friends!

Ding!

The elevator arrived on the ninth floor.

Yvonne walked out of the elevator. After searching for a while, she finally found the room that the nurse mentioned to her.

"This is it." Yvonne looked up at the ward number and then at the ward door.

The door was shut. Instead of knocking, Yvonne stood outside and looked through the glass on the door. Due t o her limited field of vision, she could only see half of the patient bed and Henry who was sitting next to the bed, but not the person lying on the bed.
