Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 76

When Yvonne looked over, it was a group of people in security uniforms carrying a stretcher. These were the people whom Joe had called for the rescue just now.

"Madam, take the ski car and return to the hotel first. I have to send Mr. Lancaster to the hospital," Joe told Yvonne after passing Henry to two rangers.

Yvonne shook her head. "I don't want to go back. I want to go to this hospital too. I want to know how he's doing immediately.”

"No," Joe refused, “Go back first. Your health isn't the best. If something happens to you too, I can't clear it with Mr. Lancaster. Don't worry, I’ll keep you in the loop on how Mr. Lancaster's doing."

"Okay then..." Yvonne tugged the corners of her lips into a forced smile.

She knew that she could not be of any help if she followed. If she had gone, Joe would have to divide a part of his attention to take care of her. It was better for her to wait for Henry's news in the hotel.

Yvonne stared at the car that Henry was in longingly before sighing and went into another ski car that would send her back to the hotel.

When Lynette saw her, she jumped right off the bed and tugged her hand over as she asked, "Yvonne, why are you back so late? You didn't even pick up when I

called you. Where have you been?”

Yvonne smiled at her listlessly without a word.

Pulling her hand back, she went to sit down on her bed and spaced out. It frightened Lynette as worry washed over her features. "Yvonne, what’s gotten into you?"

"I’m fine..." Yvonne replied hoarsely with a lowered head.

Lynette walked over to her. "Fine? Look at you, it’s like the sky’s falling. I'm scared for you."

She poured Yvonne a glass of hot water. "Drink some and warm yourself up. Then soothe your emotions."

"Thank you..." Yvonne took a sip after accepting the glass.

The water was hot and it did warm her up when she drank it but it did nothing for her anxious heart. 1

She was here now but her heart had gone in the car and to the hospital with Henry.

"I wonder how he’s doing." Yvonne put the glass away and curled in on herself.

Lynette who heard her mumble frowned in confusion. "Doing what? Who are you referring to?"

Yvonne shook her head without saying anything.

Not used to Yvonne being like that, Lynette lifted her head up in indignation. "Yvonne, tell me if we're friends. Don't worry me, alright? Do you know how worried I was when I couldn't reach you and you weren’t back? And when you are, you look like you’re going to die. I ask you questions and you don't even answer me!”

Yvonne was stunned for a few seconds from the rebuke before she looked down in remorse. "Sorry, Lyn

If

"Don't tell me sorry. Tell me what happened. Let me see if I can help." Lynette sat down beside her.

Yvonne sniffed with a sob. "I made Mr. Lancaster injure himself!"

"What?" Lynette's eyes widened. 1

Yvonne covered her face, various emotions overwhelming her again. "It's all my fault. If I’d listened to him, things wouldn’t have gotten to this stage..."

She recounted what happened while she cried.

Lynette was speechless after that.

Yvonne grabbed her hand. "Lyn, what do you think I should do? Will he be okay?"

"Uh..." Lynette answered looking caught, "I’m not sure either. You said that Mr. Lancaster lost consciousness and hasn't woken up since then. I think the injury must be bad..."

"Yeah, his back was all red and bruised. He might even hurt his bones." Yvonne fisted her hair in anguish, feeling like going back in the past and

beating her past self up.

"What did you say? Mr. Lancaster's back? You saw his flawless body?” Lynette went closer and asked with starry eyes.

Yvonne was miffed at once. "Lynette Yaeger, can you not focus on something so weird!"

Lynette rubbed her nose awkwardly. "Sorry! Mr.

Lancaster is honestly captivating. I just..."
