Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 8

At the hospital...

The doctor performed a physical examination on Yvonne with a serious look on his face. "Miss Frey, you’ve probably had a gastric problem for a long time, right? Fortunately, it isn’t too serious. Just pay attention to your diet.”

"It's probably suddenly acting up tonight because you didn't eat on time. By the way, what have you eaten today, Miss Frey?"

Now... she no longer had to be all alone.

Henry raised his head to look at her. The light in the room caused Yvonne's face to appear even paler. Her exposed neck looked very slender.

For some reason, he felt as though something jabbed his heart.
