Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 121 Not Thinking About Divorcing

Yvonne clenched her fists. "I want to ask where you’ve been today.”

If he had gone to the hospital to see Jacqueline, perhaps what he was going to say would be related to the latter. If that was the case, it brought Yvonne to two possibilities. One was her bone marrow and another was asking to divorce her for Jacqueline.

Both of the possibilities were relevant to why Shane had asked her not to agree to Henry.

"You’re asking where I was?” Henry was slightly taken aback, puzzled.

This woman had never asked about his whereabouts. Why was she making an exception today?

"Yeah, can you tell me?" Yvonne looked into his eyes.

Facing her clear eyes, there was no way Henry could lie. "I went to the hospital.”

There was a buzz in Yvonne’s head. "Hospital? What did you do in the hospital? To check your back or to see Miss Conrad?"

Her firing off questions made Henry crease his brows. "Yvonne Frey, why are you asking these questions?"

Yvonne grabbed Henry's arm, tossing his jacket, and asked emotionally, "Never mind that. Henry, answer m e. Did you visit Miss Conrad?”

"I did.” Henry pressed his lips together.

"That's true then...” Yvonne stumbled as blood drained from her face.

"What's true?” Henry narrowed his eyes.

Yvonne flashed him a smile that looked worse than her crying. "Henry, you’re divorcing me, right?”

Jacqueline had gone through the operation. There was no way her bone marrow was needed again, so Yvonne could only direct her thoughts toward a divorce.

Henry thought that it was preposterous. "Divorce?

Who told you that I wanted a divorce?"

Yvonne's eyes were reddened. "No one. I guessed it myself. But your hesitant way tonight and what Dr. Summers told me gave it away for me!”

"What did Shane Summers tell you?" Henry's tone was icy at once.

Frightened, Yvonne's tears hung at the brim of her eyes, making her look absolutely pitiful. "He didn’t say anything."

"Be honest!" It came out as a low growl from Henry.

Yvonne shook and came clean. "He asked me if you said anything to me today and asked me to never agree to it.” "That’s all?” Henry squinted.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes. You can ask him if you don't believe it."

"No need." It was only then that Henry looked more appeased, visibly having decided to believe her.

It seemed that Shane did not tell her about Jackie needing a second operation. In spite of it, Shane’s words enraged him. How was Shane so sure that he was going to make Yvonne donate her bone marrow for the second time?

Henry’s hands curled into fists.

"Then how did you come to the conclusion about the divorce?"

Yvonne wiped her eyes with her sleeves. "Because after what Dr. Summers said about not agreeing to what you'd say and you went to see Miss Conrad during the day, I guess that you're reconciling with her. If that's what you're going to do, we'll naturally have to get a divorce..."

Henry was amused despite his anger. "Yvonne Frey, a m I not worth your trust at all?" 2

Yvonne hung her head. "It's not that but..."

"But what?"

Yvonne shook her head. "I just don’t have the confidence."

Henry stared at her for some time before sighing suddenly. "I'm not thinking about divorce. I said that I won't have anything to do with Jackie and I'll keep my words."

"Really?” Yvonne sniffed.

Henry went to the couch in front of them. "Believe what you want."

"I believe you!” Yvonne quickly said before biting her lips nervously, "If you're not reconciling with Miss Conrad, then why did Dr. Summers tell me those things? What are you guys hiding from me? Henry, do you still need something from me?"

Henry was going to pour himself some wine when Yvonne spoke, causing him to tighten his grip on the wine glass.

She was correct. He still needed her bone marrow.

Jackie still had to undergo a second surgery. It was just that he could not bring himself to say something like that.

Since the success of Jackie’s first operation, he had asked Joe to search for another bone marrow donor, but it had been close to two months without any news. Now that Jackie’s second surgery was approaching, h e had to consider Yvonne as an option. 1

Nonetheless, he could not bear to do it when he met her untainted eyes as he was going to tell her about it. There was an inexplicable sense of guilt clawing at him. 1 This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Henry gulped down the wine in his glass out of frustration.

Worried that he would choke on the liquor since he was drinking so fast, Yvonne wanted to go over and pat his back but Henry avoided it.

"Yvonne Frey, you're right. I do want something from you." Perhaps it was the alcohol. The corners of Henry's eyes were reddened, adding a tinge of seduction to his otherwise ascetic front.

It captivated Yvonne, but at the same time, she felt an odd sense of familiarity, like she had seen it somewhere. Where was it?

Unable to recall it, Yvonne let it go and sat down beside him. "What do you want then?"

If it was not a divorce, could it really be her bone marrow? She could not relate to anything else other than this because Henry had only acted strangely after visiting Jacqueline. In addition, Shane had specifically called to warn her. She could not help not thinking about it.

"Never mind. I'll tell you after I consider it," said Henry before he got up to the bathroom.

Jackie’s surgery could wait one more week. He could expand his search for a compatible bone marrow donor this week. If there was really none...

Henry pressed his lips together. - No, he would be able to find it!

Hearing the loud bang of the bathroom door, Yvonne jolted as well. "Indeed..."

He was still not telling her anything. It looked like she would have to find out the answer on her own.

She was going to the hospital for her pregnancy check tomorrow. She could go see Miss Conrad on the way. If there was some issue with her health, then it was definitely her bone marrow that Henry wanted. If that was not the case, however, it would be great.

Yvonne sighed thinking about it as she climbed into bed.

When Henry got out of shower, she was already fast asleep.

Looking down at her with a complex gaze, Henry stood by the bed for a long time before he turned off the light and went to bed himself.

He barely slept throughout the night.

When he woke up the next day, he left early in the morning.

Yvonne did not even have a chance to apply for a leave from him. He did not answer his phone when she called him either. Out of choices, Yvonne called Joe and asked Joe for help. When the latter heard that she was feeling unwell, he agreed to her application instantly.

After that, Yvonne contacted Lynette. "Lyn, I'm heading out now. Where are you?"

"I've already taken the day off. Go to the hospital first. I'll meet you there," said Lyn.

Noticing the traffic noise on the line, Yvonne figured that Lynette was already on her way.

"Okay, see you there." Yvonne hung up and went out after informing Sue.

When she arrived at the hospital, Lynette had already been waiting for some time.

"Why have you just gotten here?" Lynette went to hook arms with her.

Dabbing at the sweat on her forehead, Yvonne replied, "Congested traffic. Let's go. I haven't registered.”

"Okay." Lynette nodded.

Registering at the OB-GYN counter, they headed for the department after that. When they were outside of i t, Yvonne saw someone and quickly pulled Lynette to hide behind a pillar.

"What are you doing?" Lynette asked in bewilderment.
