Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 207 She Thought He Had Left

"I'm sorry to bother you at this hour Shane. I'm doing fine by the way, it’s just that Henry managed to find m e..."

"I know, is he there already?” asked Shane.

Yvonne raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Yes, he has been here since this morning. That’s strange, you sound as if you had already known that he was going t o find me."

"Of course, I was the one who signed his discharge papers as well," Shane chuckled.

Yvonne bit her lip and said, "That’s exactly why I'm calling you. Will his back be alright if he is away from hospital?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"I see, you're concerned for his well-being," said Shane as he laughed. "Don't worry, he’s as strong as an ox, a few whips won't be too much of a problem. But as for you...”

"Me?" Yvonne was slightly startled. "What about me?”

Tm concerned for your health Yvonne, your condition is much worse than Henry's. He'll be completely fine once he heals, but you had your bone marrow forcefully taken twice and had an abortion. You need t o have regular checkups to be safe, otherwise anything can happen to you unexpectedly," explained Shane. His smile waned and turned serious as he

spoke.

Yvonne's heart sank as she heard his explanation and said, "Do you mean... I might have leukemia?”

"It's not guaranteed, but your chances are higher than average, and that’s why I'm asking you to come to my clinic regularly. Henry had the same goal in mind, and that's why he’s gone to find you,

to bring you back home," advised Shane.

Yvonne slowly tightened her grip and said, "I'll think about it."

"Fine, I won't force you since you have your own plans. But I do hope that you will set aside your differences with Henry temporarily and come back to receive the treatment you need. Do it for yourself, not for him."

Yvonne felt warmth from his words and said, "Thank you, Shane."

Even though both Shane and Sue were persuading her to go home, his intentions were different from Sue's.

Sue wished for her to reconcile with Henry, but Shane was only concerned for her health.

"You're welcome, but you should always remember that there will always be people who care for you, myself for example." Shane adjusted his glasses, and behind the glasses were eyes that projected care for another person.

But it was a pity that no one could see his expression.

After the conversation, Yvonne hung up the phone call and went back inside the house with a smile on her face.

Sue saw her and was a little surprised. "Madam, you seem to be in a good mood."

Sue nodded and replied, "You’re quite right." 1

"Who were you talking to a while ago?" asked Sue.

Yvonne waved her phone and replied without trying t o hide it. "It was Shane."

"Dr. Summers?" Sue's expression changed.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Yvonne looked at her puzzled. She could not understand Sue's expression.

“Madam." Sue suddenly grabbed Yvonne's hands.

Yvonne was shocked by her action. "Yes?"

"Madam, I would suggest that you keep your distance with Dr. Summers. Try not to contact him so much." Sue warned her earnestly.

Sue had no choice but to prevent her from staying close to Dr. Summers, not when she now knew that he had feelings for her.

What would happen if Dr. Summers seduced her away!

"But why Sue?" Yvonne still could not understand her intentions.

If it were Henry, she would understand why he would do it.

Men liked to assert dominance over their spouses anyway.

But she could not understand why Sue was asking her to stay away.

"Of course it’s because Dr. Summers...”

"Don't leave me in suspense and tell me." Yvonne started to grow impatient.

Sue grabbed her hair in frustration. "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

How could she believe that Shane had feelings for her when she couldn't even believe that Henry did?

"It’s probably nothing important if you say I wouldn't believe you," laughed Yvonne as she nudged Sue’s shoulder.

Sue blinked and replied, "Rather than it's not important, it's..."

"Alright Sue," said Yvonne as she patted Sue again. "I can tell that you haven’t got the slightest clue how you should answer me. I'll wait for you whenever you're ready to. In the meantime, I'm going to get some rest, I'm exhausted."

As she finished, she walked past Sue and headed for her room.

When Yvonne entered her room, she saw the man who was sleeping in her bed and smacked her head in frustration.

It was only a while ago, but she had completely forgotten that Henry had taken over her room.

It seemed like not only was her health deteriorating, but even her memory was getting worse as well.

Deep in thought, she walked and stood by her bedside and saw the man who had taken over her room. She could not resist the urge to kick him hard.

Of course, she could only entertain the thought, but could not actually do it.

Aside from her not wanting to do it, she couldn't muster up the energy to kick him even if she wanted t o.

"Fine!" sighed Yvonne as she accepted her fate. She turned to her cupboard and took out another blanket t o make a makeshift bed out of her chair, covered the blanket on top of her and slept.

However when she woke up, she wasn’t sleeping on the chair, but was on a comfortable bed instead.

Yvonne was puzzled. How did she end up in bed?

Wasn't she...

Yvonne immediately turned to the makeshift bed that she made, and it was still there including the blanket, yet here she was in bed.

That was enough for her to confirm that she had not been dreaming last night and had actually slept there, but someone had shifted her to the bed later on.

As for the one who had done it, she already had an answer without thinking too much.

It couldn't have been anyone else other than Henry.

Where was he anyway?

Yvonne turned her head and scanned the entire room. She quickly got out and wore her slippers to get out of the room when she was sure that Henry was not in there.

Outside, she still couldn't see Henry anywhere. Even Sue was nowhere to be seen. The whole house felt quiet as if they had never been there.

'Have they left already?’

Yvonne’s heart sank at the thought of it. She felt somewhat hollow all of a sudden and her face went pale.

After a while, she managed to gather her thoughts and wryly laughed. "I guess it's fine that they're gone..."

Henry never should've been there in the first place — this was not where he belonged. But he did not even inform Yvonne that he was leaving..."

The more she thought about it, the more bitter she became, maybe even slightly angry. She clenched her fist but clenched it too tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

But she didn’t seem to feel the pain. She lowered her head so no one could see her expression and the atmosphere began to turn heavy.

She felt that she was not only a hypocrite, but a needy one as well.

She had hoped that Henry would leave as soon as possible. She even tried to chase him away. But now that he had really left, she felt disappointed.

If that wasn’t being needy, what was it?

Click click click...

There were footsteps coming from outside of the house.

Yvonne’s eyes lit up as she heard it, as if she had thought of something. She quickly ran to open the door.

Sue saw Yvonne opening the door and waved at her. " You’re awake madam."

Yvonne nodded subconsciously. "Sue, how're you still here? I thought you'd left."

"I left?" said the startled Sue, and she smiled back. " Whoever told you I was leaving?"

Now it was Yvonne who was startled.

That’s right, no one actually told her they had left - it was all her own assumption.

That meant that Henry had not left as well.

She realized her own silliness and shamefully rubbed her nape. Her face blushed as she said, "Sue, where’s Henry?
