Yvonne woke up sore the next day, but there was no sight of Henry beside her.
She was disappointed at first, but felt a faint sweetness filling her heart when she saw the red marks on her body.
After he took her virginity in her sleep last time, she felt nothing but pain.
Yet last night, she indeed felt the real happiness of being a woman.
However, her happiness didn't last long. Her attention was drawn to an envelope beside the bed.
What was that?
Yvonne sat up wrapped in the quilt and reached out to the envelope.
She checked both sides of the envelope first, but found nothing so she opened it.
Yvonne took out the document, then froze as soon as her eyes fell on the words.
This was...
The bone marrow donor agreement?
Yvonne slowly tightened her grip on the document as she felt the sweetness in her heart dissipate and get replaced by sadness.
"Guess he really can't wait," she laughed self-deprecatingly.
Henry did tell her to sign it today.
But she didn't expect that he would leave the agreement beside her bed so early in the morning so that she could sign it as soon as she woke up. It was a s though he was afraid that she would go back on her words.
This feeling of being distrusted was really unpleasant!
Yvonne raised her head and looked at the ceiling. She wanted to cry but found no tears to shed so she could only sit on the bed and stare at the donor agreement dazedly.
After a while, she smoothed out the wrinkles on the paper and leaned to the side to open the drawer. She took out a pen and then signed her name with a shaky hand.
Yvonne signed the agreement and was no longer interested in reading the document. She returned the document into the envelope, then sent a message to Henry, informing him that she had signed the agreement.
In just a short moment, her phone rang. It was a call from Henry.
"Hello?" Yvonne answered in a fluster.
"You're up?" Henry's deep voice entered her ears.
Yvonne held the phone with both hands and hummed softly, "I've signed it."
"I know, I saw it. Bring the donor agreement with you when you come to the office later," Henry instructed.
"Alright," Yvonne responded.
Both of them fell silent after that, not knowing what to say to each other.
If it weren't for the shallow breathing, Yvonne would have thought there was no one on the other end of the line.
She didn't even know why Henry didn't hang up and chose to play the silent game with her.
"Umm..." Yvonne tried to say something.
"What?” Henry answered.
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask, when will the surgery b e done?"
Henry parted his thin lips to answer her question," Tomorrow at three in the afternoon."
"Alright, I'll keep that in mind." After saying that, Yvonne took the initiative to hang up, feeling extremely unpleasant in her heart.
Tomorrow at three in the afternoon...
She had only agreed to donate her bone marrow last night, and he had already arranged the operation time so quickly. It would seem like he cared a great deal about Jacqueline.
He never even genuinely cared about her!
Yvonne suppressed the jealousy welling up in her heart. She set her phone and the envelope aside, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
After washing up, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Sue greeted her with a smile, "Madam, you're up!"
"Yeah. Good morning, Sue!" Yvonne returned her smile.
