Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 156 Jacqueline Discharged from the Hospital

Yvonne's expression suddenly hardened. She looked a t Henry's pocket with bitterness.

The person was calling at the wrong time. Why didn’t this person call earlier or later? Why now?

Henry didn't know what Yvonne was thinking about. H e let go of her hand and took his phone out of his pocket to see who was calling.

It was Shane. He answered the phone without any hesitation.

"Henry, something has happened," Shane shouted from the other end of the phone.

Henry's expression turned dark. "What happened?”

"Jacqueline has been discharged," Shane said.

Henry felt a squeeze in his heart. "What did you say? Jacqueline was discharged from the hospital?"

Yvonne was taken aback when she heard this. She paid attention to Henry's conversation.

But Henry did not put Shane on the loudspeaker, so she couldn't hear their conversation at all.

However, this didn't stop her from being surprised.

Jacqueline was discharged from the hospital?

'Why is she risking her life to leave the hospital at this time?'

Even for someone who didn't have any medical knowledge like her, she knew that leukemia patients couldn't leave the hospital at all until they had fully recovered, especially Jacqueline who had just

attempted to commit suicide with her unhealed wound. There was a possibility that she'd die if the wound was open again and the bleeding couldn't be stopped in time.

"Yes." Shane nodded. "She just left the hospital."

"Why didn’t you stop her then? She can't leave the hospital in her current condition. Don’t you know that as a doctor?" Henry scolded through the phone.

Shane replied apologetically, "Of course I know, but I can't stop her. Dominic was the one who arranged for her discharge and they're really firm with their decision. That's why I'm calling now to ask you to persuade them."

"Mr. Conrad?" Henry frowned unexpectedly.

Shane sighed, "Yes, half an hour ago. He came to visit Jacqueline at the hospital, but I'm not sure what they were talking about. They were really persistent on getting Jacqueline discharged, so there was no way to persuade him."

Henry pressed his thin lips into a straight line. "I got i t. Please standby at the hospital and I will ask Jacqueline to go back. When she goes back, you have t o immediately check her body condition, especially her wounds."

“I will."

After the phone call ended, Yvonne noticed that Henry did not put his phone away. Instead, he scrolled through his contacts. Yvonne knew this wasn’t over yet.

She wanted to ask what happened to Jacqueline, but gave up on her thoughts after seeing Henry in this situation.

“Henry, I'll help Sue in the kitchen." She went directly t o the kitchen and didn't bother to wait for Henry’s reply.

Henry took a glance at her back, then looked back at his phone until he found Dominic's contact number. H e immediately dialed the number.

Dominic seemed to have been waiting for this call. He answered the call as soon as it rang, "Henry, what’s the matter?"

He had a lazy tone that sounded like he knew why Henry was calling.

Henry could tell from his tone. Then, he narrowed his eyes. “Uncle, was it your idea to discharge Jacqueline from the hospital?"

"Oh, so you are calling regarding this matter," Dominic chuckled. “It was my idea and Jacqueline's.” "Jacqueline?" Henry clenched his teeth. “Uncle, why d o you guys want to be discharged from the hospital? You know Jacqueline’s condition. She is messed up, but why are you acting this way too?"

"Henry, we’ve discussed this before. It's not a sudden decision and I'm doing it for Jacqueline’ssake," Dominic replied while he was sipping red wine on the sofa.

Henry doubted him. "For Jacqueline's sake?"

"Yeah. You do know that Jacqueline will be having an operation soon, but you refused to have Yvonne donate her bone marrow. You even let Jacqueline use other bone marrow to survive. As her father, I can't let this situation happen. I won’t accept it either, so I had t o take Jacqueline out from the hospital.” Although Dominic said this calmly, the resentment in his tone couldn't be concealed.

Henry knew that Dominic was blaming himself for the temporary remorse, so he didn't mind his attitude.

"Uncle, this is my fault, but I have increased my manpower to look for suitable bone marrow donors. But discharging Jacqueline from the hospital all of sudden, what if..."

"Nothing will happen," Dominic interrupted him with a hidden meaning in his words, "because I've found the suitable bone marrow for her. I will arrange for Jacqueline's operation within these two days, so you don't have to worry about it." "You've found a bone marrow donor?" Henry was slightly startled.

Dominic smiled mysteriously, "Exactly. It is precisely why I let Jacqueline be discharged from the hospital. Alright, Henry. I think we're done here. Once Jacqueline's operation is successful, I will call you again. Wait for our good news." 1

After hanging up the phone, Henry stared at his phone.

Indeed it was good news that there was a suitable bone marrow donor for Jacqueline. He should be happy.

But somehow, he was not happy. He was very disturbed.

And yet, he couldn't find out the reason why he felt that way.

"Henry, are you done with the call?" Yvonne's voice could be heard from his back.

Henry put his phone away and turned around. "It’s done."

"Then let's have dinner," Yvonne smiled at him.

Henry nodded and followed her to the dining area.

Yvonne pulled his chair for him.

After he sat down, she asked, "I heard you saying that Miss Jacqueline was discharged from the hospital. Why is that so?"

"Mr. Conrad found a suitable bone marrow donor and a n operation team, so he arranged for Jacqueline to be discharged from the hospital." Henry took a mouthful of pasta and answered her questions absently.

Yvonne was pleasantly surprised. "That’s great! Miss Jacqueline found a suitable bone marrow."

In this case, Jacqueline would not take Yvonne’s bone marrow anymore.

"Are you happy for Jacqueline?” Henry looked at her.

Yvonne put some broccoli in her bowl. "Yes, because then I will be safe."

She did not mean anything when she said that, and Henry wasn't paying attention to what she said.

Henry thought she was thinking of donating her bone marrow. He couldn’t help but snort.

Yvonne tilted her head in confusion. "Henry, what’s the matter with you? You seem a little unhappy."

"It's nothing, let's eat." Henry ignored her.

Yvonne shrugged her shoulders and stopped talking.

After finishing their dinner in silence, both of them went upstairs. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was rare to see Henry not working in the study room. He went back to the bedroom with Yvonne.

Yvonne was not used to him being in the room so early.

"Henry, I'm done showering. It's your turn," Yvonne was drying her hair while she told Henry who was

looking at his phone on the sofa.

He hummed without looking up, then put down his phone and went to the bathroom.

When he came out from the shower, he saw Yvonne sitting on the bed with a tablet in her hands and headphones on her ears. He didn't know what Yvonne was watching on the tablet, but he laughed, "Such an unpleasant sight."

Henry nudged her a little. "Are you not sleeping yet?" "Huh? What did you say?" Yvonne took off the headset.

Henry’s expression sank. He was too lazy to answer her. He dropped the towel in his hand and took the hairdryer on the bedside.

When Yvonne noticed it, she put down her tablet and took the hairdryer from Henry. "Henry, let me help you."

"Up to you.” Henry did not refuse, and he sat on the bed.

Yvonne smiled happily setting that he had agreed. After plugging in the hairdryer, she knelt behind him t o blow his hair.

Her movements were really gentle and it was a pleasure to have Henry's hair blown by her. He couldn't help it as closed his eyes to enjoy the moment.

Right at that time, Yvonne's face suddenly changed and she retched. She quickly turned off the hairdryer while covering her mouth, jumped out of bed, and ran t o the bathroom.

After hearing that, Henry opened his eyes and saw her closing the bathroom door.

"What's the matter?" He nervously stood up and walked to the bathroom.
