Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 436

Henry clenched his fist and didn't answer her. Instead, he raised his chin slightly.

Jacqueline knew that his action meant that he wanted her to cut the crap and keep talking.

She took a deep breath and smiled gleefully, "That’s because Laura had a kidney failure, and it was not just any normal kidney disease. If she can’t find a suitable kidney donor before the age of thirty, she’s going to die. So her biological daughter, Yvonne, also has the kidney disease." 1

"Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?" Henry said mockingly.

Jacqueline was not agitated and she remained calm." Of course you don’t believe me, because by looking at Yvonne's appearance, it sure doesn’t seem like she has any kidney disease, but what I said is true. Laura's kidney disease is hereditary, and it's asymptomatic, s o it can’t be diagnosed by normal tests."

"Are you trying to say that Yvonne inherited Laura's kidney disease?" Henry squinted his eyes.

Jacqueline raised her face and replied, "Yes, my father told me that Laura's kidney disease was inherited from her mother and it has been passed down for generations, so Yvonne is no exception. Also, I mentioned that this kidney disease is unlike ordinary kidney diseases, it's asymptomatic with an incubation period of more than twenty years..." 1

Incubation period?

Henry's pupils trembled and his expression began to change.

When Jacqueline saw him like that, she knew that he was starting to feel concerned. Even though she felt jealous, she was also pleased. "I see you understand what I meant. Yes, Yvonne will start showing symptoms of her kidney disease in her twenties due t o the incubation period. Once she starts getting the symptoms, her kidney will deteriorate much faster than ordinary kidney failure patients, but if..."

She rolled her eyes, deliberately prolonging her tone.

Henry couldn't wait and he yelled, "If what?! Say it!"

Jacqueline smiled brightly, "If she can't find any donor within the next two years, she'll die. Although there are many donor kidneys in the market now, Yvonne is different. Her blood type is rare so it's difficult to find a kidney that matches hers. Only I can save her."

"Are you trying to say that you’re her kidney match?" Henry gazed at her waist.

Jacqueline graciously stood up and let him stare at her. "Yes, so Yvonne and I are meant to meet each other. Our blood type and bone marrow match, so my kidney must be a match too. Also, since you believe that she didn't die in the industrial zone, then you'll definitely find her eventually. She's almost twenty-five now."

What Jacqueline was trying to imply was that once Yvonne reached the age of twenty-five, her kidney would begin to deteriorate.

Henry obviously understood what she meant. His head drooped slightly and his hair cast a shadow that covered half his face, making it difficult to see his expression.

He didn't know if what she said was true or false, but she probably wouldn't lie about things like that could b e fact-checked easily.

In other words, what she said was most likely true!

Henry's eyes became red as he thought about it. "Why are you telling me all this?"

"It’s obviously because I want to live and I don't want t o go to jail. I know that my father and I have done a lot of wrongs and you’re not going to forgive us. So since I don't want to die or go to jail, I’ll use this as a bargaining chip to fight for myself. If you agree, how about I donate my kidney to her once you find her?"

She raised her chin to negotiate with him, but deep down she did not care.

She didn’t think that he would be able to get Yvonne back. She pushed Yvonne out of the car so she probably couldn’t escape such a big fire and was probably burned alive. The reason why he couldn't find her body was most likely because it had already been burned into ashes.

Also, the reason why she mentioned Yvonne's kidney disease was because of two reasons: one was to escape the situation she was in right now, and the other was the possibility of becoming Mrs. Lancaster.

If he wanted her to donate a kidney to Yvonne, she could ask for more conditions. Whether it was to live i n his villa or to take care of her, he would definitely agree for Yvonne's sake, and she would be able to replace Yvonne eventually. 1

Even if he couldn't find Yvonne and found out that Yvonne was dead, she could still think of ways to deal with his vengeance.

Henry pursed his thin lips without realizing what Jacqueline was secretly plotting in her heart. He looked at Jacqueline who was so excited because she was deep in thought. "What if I don't agree?"
