Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 42

Henry lowered his gaze and said nothing. He didn't know how to answer her question either.

He couldn't even find a reason for them to not meet. There was just a voice in his heart that kept telling him that their meeting might lead to something beyond his control.

Henry refused to believe his gut feeling, yet he still couldn't help but be bothered by it. He hadn't told Jackie that he had married yet, mostly because he wasn’t sure if Jackie still had feelings for him.

If she still did, Henry couldn't imagine how she would react to the situation.

"Henry?” Jacqueline tugged at the sleeve of the absentminded man. “What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing,” Henry returned to his senses and pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly. "Do you really want to meet her?”

"Yes," Jacqueline nodded.

Henry's Adam's apple bobbed twice and his voice was a little hoarse, "Okay, I’ll arrange the meeting, but just a quick one."

"Alright," Jacqueline responded with a smile.

Henry turned his head slightly and threw a glance at Shane who had been as silent as a wooden puppet.

Shane raised his eyebrows at Henry, then followed him outside.

"Which ward is Yvonne Frey staying in?"

"Downstairs. I'll take you there." Shane showed him the way after saying that.

Henry followed him.

"I thought you didn't want them to meet. Why did you suddenly change your mind again?" Shane suddenly asked curiously when they entered the elevator.

Henry ignored his question as he watched the elevator door close with his deep eyes that concealed all emotions.

Shane clicked his tongue. "Henry, just what’s going through that head of yours?"

"What do you mean?" Henry parted his thin lips slightly and asked coldly.

Shane stood beside Henry with hands in the pockets o f his white lab coat. "Of course it is about you and Jacqueline. I recall you said that it’s impossible for you and her to continue the relationship, right?" 1

"Yes."

"Then what are you doing now?" Shane looked at him seriously, "I don't want to comment on what you did before, but now I have to say this: you shouldn’t be so intimate with her if you don’t have that kind of plan with her."

In the past, Shane indeed thought that Yvonne wasn’t worthy of Henry.

However, his opinion had changed. Rather than Jacqueline, Yvonne was actually the most suitable person for Henry because she was sincere. Shane truly hoped that they would stay together.

As a bystander, there was one thing Shane was very sure about. Although Henry still couldn’t let go of Jacqueline, he also had a place for Yvonne in his heart. It was just that Henry hadn't realized that himself yet. 1

At the thought of that, Shane gave him a piece of meaningful advice. "Henry, as a friend, I hope you won’t do things that you’ll regret.”

Henry narrowed his eyes at him, "What do you mean b y that?"

"Nothing in particular. That’s all I can tell you. Some things lose their meaning if they're said too clearly. You'll have to interpret it yourself.” Shane smiled and stopped outside a ward's door. "This is her room. You can go in by yourself, I'll be returning to my office now."

Shane pointed to the door in front of him, then turned and left.

Henry stood thinking for a while, then lifted his arm and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Yvonne raised her head from the bed when she heard a knock on the door.

It s me.

"Henry?" Yvonne quickly got out of her bed in surprise and opened the door after putting on her shoes.

Henry came in as soon as the door was opened, "Were you sleeping?"

"No, I was playing with my phone on the bed," Yvonne closed the door.

The surgery was going to be tonight, so how could she possibly sleep?

"Don't you have poor vision? Why are you still playing with your phone while lying down?" Henry frowned at her.

Yvonne rubbed her nose and smiled bashfully. "It's more comfortable that way. Did you meet Miss Conrad?"

She quickly changed the subject.

Henry hummed in response. "She wants to meet you."

"Who?" Yvonne was so surprised that she couldn't react in time. 1

Henry gave her the side-eye, "Who do you think I'm referring to?"

Yvonne blinked at him in shock. "Miss Conrad?"

"Let’s go. I'll take you upstairs." Henry walked to the door without waiting for her response. After taking
