Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 32

Henry lowered his gaze to conceal the emotions in his eyes. "Just something about the surgery."

"Surgery?" Jacqueline's eyes lit up with unconcealed excitement. “Has the date been set? When can I have the surgery?"

"Very soon. The first surgery is set to be within these few days."

"That's great!" Jacqueline clasped her hands together and wept with joy.

Henry offered her a tissue. "Don't cry, you’ll look terrible."

"Are you criticizing me?" Jacqueline pouted unhappily.

Henry shook his head gently, "No."

"I don't believe you!" Jacqueline brought her legs up and hugged her knees. Her face was full of sadness." Actually, I know I am very ugly now. My hair is about t o fall out, my skin is turning dark and yellow, and I look like a pile of bones. How could I possibly look good..."

"You'll recover when your illness is cured. Don't think about it too much now!" Henry reached out and tousled her hair. His heart ached for the woman.

Jacqueline sniffed, "Do you think I can still dance in the future, Henry?”

"Yes."

"Really?"

Henry nodded, "Yeah!"

He knew how much she loved ballet, so he had asked Shane this question a long time ago. 1

The answer that Shane gave was as long as the two operations were successful, she would be able to return to the stage again.

"I trust you!" Jacqueline released her knees, then hugged Henry around his waist and rubbed her face against his chest. "I know you'll never lie to me."

Henry's body suddenly tensed, either because of her words or because of her sudden action that made him a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, Am I interrupting?" Shane's teasing voice suddenly rang out at the door.

Jacqueline blushed and released Henry. "Not at all. Come in, Shane. Did you suddenly come back again because you still have something to say?"

"Again?" Shane raised his eyebrow.

Did he come here just now?

Shane looked toward Henry, only to meet his cold and warning eyes.

Shane shivered and instantly understood something.

He readjusted the expression on his face with a smile. "Yeah, I left out some details just now and had to come back. Henry, let's talk outside." 2

Henry went out of the room.

"That wasn't me but Yvonne Frey who came just now right?" As soon as the ward door was closed, Shane looked at him in amusement.

Henry declined to comment and only admitted it with a slight nod.

"I knew it!" Shane curled his lip. "Henry, I just don't understand why won’t you tell her the truth. How long do you think you can hide the fact that you are married to her?"

"For as long as I can," Henry said in a low voice. 1

"Why are you doing this?" Shane frowned. "Jacqueline doesn't love you at all. She only loves ballet and the Lincoln Center stage. What’s your intention of hiding the truth from her? Don’t tell me you plan to rekindle the old flame?"

"It’s nothing like that!" Henry furrowed his eyebrows impatiently. "Okay, let's not talk about this. Are

Yvonne Frey's physical examination results out yet?" 1

"Yes, they’re ready." Shane handed over the medical record he brought with him. "It's all in here, you can read it for yourself."

Henry accepted it but snapped it close after casually flipping through it. He just couldn't make heads or tails of it. "Just tell me directly if she will suffer from any long-term side effects."

"As long as she takes good care of herself after the surgery, there is a seventy percent chance that she won't be affected. But her physical condition will not b e as good as it was before. She will easily get sick when she’s cold." 1

"That’s all I need!" Henry slapped the medical record o n Shane's body.

As long as Yvonne wouldn't suffer from any long-term side effects, Jacqueline could be saved. He wouldn't need to feel so conflicted and powerless! 1

He would bear full responsibility for Yvonne's deteriorating health!

Shane hurriedly caught the medical record that was about to slide off his body and called out to Henry who was about to return to the ward. "Henry, there’s one more thing. You ought to know that Yvonne and Jacqueline are..." 1

"What about the two of them?” Henry stopped when h e was about to open the door.
