Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 47

"Nope, have a good rest! I'll go check on the other side.” Shane took off his stethoscope and was about to leave.

However, Sue suddenly stopped him. "Dr. Summers, please don’t forget to inform Mr. Henry that his wife is already awake when you’re upstairs. And ask him to visit her if he has time instead of just taking care of someone else. He should know that madam is his wife."

"Sue!" Not expecting Sue to do this so suddenly, Yvonne hurriedly shouted to stop her from saying anything else.

However, Sue pretended not to hear her and continued to tell Shane, "How could he take care of other women instead of his own wife? As his friend, you should talk some sense into him, Dr. Summers!”

Shane was also surprised by Sue's remarks. He knitted his neat brows together. "You're saying that Henry never came to visit sis-in-law until now?"

Sue snorted in dissatisfaction, "Sir has his full attention on that woman right now that I don’t think h e even remembers about madam.” 2

Shane's face sank, "I got it. Don’t worry, I’ll tell him!”

He patted Sue on the shoulder and quickly exited the ward.

It seemed like Henry didn’t keep his reminder from yesterday in mind. 3

It was really bad of him to not even visit his wife once after her surgery.

Shane went to the ward upstairs and knocked gently o n the door.

The door was very quickly opened by a middle-aged man. "Shane, you're here."

"Hello, Mr. Conrad." Shane gave the man a slight nod, then took a good look at him.

The middle-aged man felt his scalp going numb from the way Shane was looking at him. It felt as though he was being cut open by his gaze, leaving his internal organs exposed to the air.

"Shane, is there anything on my face?" The middle-aged man cleared his throat and then asked with an uncomfortable smile on his face.

Shane retracted his gaze and his lips curled into a small smile, "Not really. I just suddenly recalled a rumor that I heard before. You had an ex-wife, right?"

Dominic Conrad was taken aback for a moment before the memory got him looking nostalgic, "Yeah."

"Did you two have a child?” Light reflected off Shane’s glasses. 1

Dominic was silent for a while before he nodded painfully. His voice was even a little choked, "Yes, but the child was gone before it was born. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, it was just a random question I asked out of curiosity. Is Jacqueline awake?" Shane changed the subject calmly. 1

Dominic thought that Shane’s sudden question was rather strange and it sounded like he was probing for information. Since Dominic couldn't quite put a finger on what exactly, he decided to not think about it too much. "Not yet,” he sighed in reply.

"I'll go in and examine her then," Shane walked past him and entered the ward.

After examining Jacqueline, Shane took off his latex gloves. "She's fine. The anesthesia just hasn’t completely worn off yet. She’ll probably wake up tonight. By the way, where’s Henry?"

"I’m here!” Henry came in from the balcony, still smelling of smoke. It was obvious that he had been out there for a cigarette.

Shane glanced at him, "Henry, do you know where I just came from?"

Henry raised his eyebrow, "Yvonne Frey's ward?"

"Yes, she’s awake!"

"When did she wake up?”

"Quite a while ago. They told me to ask you when you would visit them upstairs," Shane patted his clean white coat.

Henry pinched the bridge of his nose, "Alright, I'll go over in a bit."

"Why wait?" Shane looked at him incomprehensibly." Jacqueline isn't even awake yet, but Yvonne is. Why not go see her right now? I heard that you haven't paid her a visit since she came out of the operating room."

When Shane thought nothing of Yvonne back then, he never cared about how Henry was treating her. He would just watch from the sidelines.
