Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 9

By the time Yvonne woke up, the IV catheter had been removed from the back of her hand.

She rubbed her eyes and saw the doctor coming in." Doctor, I think I'm feeling fine now. When can I be discharged?"

"I'm afraid not yet. Mr. Lancaster told me that he wants you to stay in the hospital a few more days for observation. You can only be discharged after we make sure that your gastric problem is really only a gastric problem."

"Where is he now?”

Yvonne sat up in surprise. If she were to stay in the hospital for observation, then she needed to call in sick to work.

"Mr. Lancaster has left. He informed me that he’d be back tomorrow. Miss Frey, I think his concerns are necessary. Gastric problems can vary in severity. It's best for you to get it checked properly."

The doctor gave his advice, then went out because a nurse came looking for him.

Since Yvonne couldn’t go against Henry’s wishes, she could only lay on the hospital bed and fall asleep again.

As soon as she got up the next morning, she heard a commotion outside before she could even eat her breakfast. In her shock, she rushed back under her blanket and laid down on the bed.

When the door was pushed open, she cracked open her eyes and acted as though she just woke up. Yet, it wasn't Henry who came in. It was her grandfather-inlaw!

"Grandpa! Why are you here?”

Yvonne stopped putting on an act and got up from the bed as she watched Master Lancaster come in with a few people behind him. They even came bearing gifts for her.

"Sit here, Grandpa."

Despite the kind smile on Master Lancaster's face, Yvonne couldn't help but feel nervous as she pulled out the chair beside her bed.

"Hoho, no worries. Have a seat too, Yvonne."

Master Lancaster smiled as someone helped him to his seat. "I heard that you were hospitalized last night, so I especially instructed the kitchen to make something nutritious so I could bring it here and visit you. How are you feeling now?”

"I’m fine, Grandpa. You didn’t have to come and personally visit me, a call would do."

"Oh, how could I do that?” Master Lancaster said as his gaze fell on her stomach. "How do you feel after resting in the hospital for a night? Do you feel nauseous or have any sudden cravings?" he asked in concern.

"W-What?" Yvonne was stunned by the questions. She was only in the hospital for her gastric problem. Why would the old man suddenly ask her these questions?

"How can you be this careless, my child? You need to pay more attention to your diet at this time!" the old man said with great concern. He must have assumed that she was pregnant after hearing that she was hospitalized last night.
