Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 55

The corners of Yvonne's mouth twitched slightly, but she kept quiet.

She actually knew Henry had been coming to the hospital for the past few days, yet she had no idea why he wasn’t visiting her.

Sue got mad over that and would have called Master Lancaster to tell him about it if Yvonne hadn’t stopped her.

"Sis-in-law, are you okay?" Shane looked at Yvonne's frail body and asked softly.

Yvonne gathered her thoughts, then shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine, thank you for taking care of me for the past few days, Dr. Summers."

"Don't worry about it, it's my duty as a doctor. You must pay attention to your health after you are discharged," Shane reminded.

Yvonne hummed softly in response and closed her suitcase.

"Is Miss Frey in?" A gentle female voice suddenly rang out at the door.

Yvonne and Shane glanced in that direction together and noticed that someone had arrived at the door of the ward which was left wide open. Jacqueline was smiling in her wheelchair.

"Why are you here?" For some reason, Shane took a few steps forward and hid Yvonne behind him.

Yvonne was a little taken aback.

"Shane, I see that you're here too." Jacqueline looked a t Shane with a slightly surprised expression.

Shane frowned, "Is there a problem for me to be here? What about you? Why are you here? Are you even aware that you just had an operation? Who let you come out here? There's nothing I hate more than disobedient patients."

"Aww, don't be angry, Shane." Jacqueline maneuvered her wheelchair and entered the ward as she tried to get a glimpse of the person behind him. "I’m here to visit Miss Frey."

"Visit me?" Yvonne poked her head out from behind Shane.

"Yeah!" Jacqueline smiled gently at her. "I've actually been really worried about your condition, Miss Frey. I sent the caregiver here a few days ago to check up on you, but she didn’t relay the message properly and caused a misunderstanding. I’m really sorry about that, Miss Frey."

"Misunderstanding?" Yvonne curled her lips and secretly rolled her eyes.

As expected, this woman had two faces.

What did she mean by sending a caregiver here to check up on her? 1

Everyone here knew the truth. Didn't she see that even Shane turned his head around and was laughing up his sleeve?!

"Miss Frey," Jacqueline narrowed her eyes, "You don't seem to believe me.”

"That’s not true!" Yvonne gave her a perfunctory smile, "I’ll just take it as a misunderstanding. It's all in the past anyway so let’s not talk about that anymore, Miss Conrad."

Yvonne was anxious to leave the hospital and was too lazy to deal with this hypocritical woman.

"If that’s what you want, then I shall respect your wishes." Jacqueline nodded, and then her eyes fell on the suitcase. "Miss Frey, this is..."

"I’ve been discharged." Yvonne patted her suitcase.

She was really excited to leave this place.

Jacqueline looked at her rosy cheeks with a tint of jealousy in her eyes. "So soon?"

"What do you mean by that? Were you hoping that she’d stay a few more days in the hospital?" Shane pushed up his glasses.

Jacqueline's expression froze for a moment before turning back to normal. "What are you talking about, Shane? I'm just envious of Miss Frey for recovering so well to be discharged so soon. I don’t even know when I can be discharged," she let out a depressed sigh. 1

However, Shane hit her mercilessly with his words. " It’s still too early for you. It's going to take at least a few more months."

Jacqueline shot him a half-hearted glare. "Can’t you just sugarcoat that a little, Shane?"

"I’m a doctor. It's my responsibility to tell my patients the truth, alright?" Shane said bluntly.

"Shane, you...!" Jacqueline bit her lip, looking as though she was trying to hold herself back from crying.

Yvonne was really worried that Jacqueline would cry for real and cause a disturbance to the patient next door, so she quickly consoled her, "Don't be sad, Miss Conrad. Your surgery was successful, so I believe you will be discharged soon."
