Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 54 Discharged From The Hospital

Sue looked back and gave Yvonne a smile. When she turned back to look at Henry, her face darkened again.

She was obviously mad at him.

It was also the first time Henry had seen her angry at him and he was rather shocked.

Sue put her hands on her waist, "Sir, there are some things that I shouldn't say as a servant of the Lancaster family, but I can't hold it back anymore."

Henry pressed his lips, "What do you want to say?"

"Madam is your wife, right?” Sue asked.

Henry threw a glance at Yvonne. "And then?"

Yvonne raised her delicate eyebrows.

Was that a yes or no?

"Madam is your wife, but have you ever treated her like she’s your wife?" Sue pointed to Sue. 3

The expression on Henry's face turned dark. "Since when have I not treated her like my wife?" 1

"Have you?" Sue slapped on her own chest. "Ask yourself this: do you truly take madam as your wife in your heart? No husband would go and take care of another woman instead of his own wife who is hospitalized."

When Yvonne heard Sue, she instantly lowered her head as grievance welled up in her heart.

Sue continued speaking boldly, "I know you haven't got over Miss Conrad, but you’re a married man now! This woman in front of you is the person who you will spend the rest of your life with. Miss Conrad is just an ex. Do you think it's appropriate for you to be hanging around her?"

"Sue, you have crossed your line!" Henry's voice turned frosty. "I know what I should and shouldn't do. You are not qualified to tell me what to do!"

"Sir, that isn’t what I'm doing. I’m merely reminding you of how to be a husband," Sue sighed.

As the expression on Henry's face grew uglier, Yvonne reached out and tugged Sue on her sleeve. "Enough, Sue."

"Madam...”

"I'm alright.” Yvonne smiled at her. Deep inside, her smile had a sadness that wouldn't fade.

If Henry really knew what he should and shouldn’t do, then he would have distanced himself away from Jacqueline in the first place.

In fact, everyone could see that he was in the wrong, except for himself.

Just because he was in love with Jacqueline, he didn't see any problems in the way he treated her.

Yvonne laughed at herself deprecatingly at the thought of this. "Go back upstairs, Henry. I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while. Please entertain yourself.”

"Back?" Henry creased a frown in displeasure." Yvonne Frey, explain what did you mean by that?"

Yvonne gave him a meaningful look but said nothing.

For some reason, her gaze made Henry somehow irritated.

"Sue, get out now!" He waved his hand and dismissed her.

Sue left tactfully when she felt the tense atmosphere between the two of them.

Only Yvonne and Henry were left in the ward.

He took a step forward and repeated his question. " Yvonne Frey, tell me, why did you say that?"

"No particular reason. Didn't you say that you just came from Miss Conrad's ward? I guess you're here to see her. If you don't go back, she’ll start looking for you." Yvonne explained with a smile, trying to appear unbothered.

Yet her smile offended Henry. He didn't like it for some reason.

"You really want me to find her this badly?" He stared into her eyes intently with an extremely frosty expression on his face as he seethed.

Yvonne didn't understand why he was angry and didn't think too much of it either. In any case, she was already used to his occasional temper.

"It's not that I want you to find her, but I don't think you plan to stay here for long right?" Yvonne looked at the man’s handsome face and replied seriously.

For the past two or three days, Henry had spent most o f his time in Jacqueline's ward. The number of visits h e made to Yvonne's ward could be counted on one hand.

He would disappear instantly every time something happened at Jacqueline’s ward, no matter how trivial i t was.

Just like last night. He was obviously exhausted, but h e left as soon as Jacqueline woke up.

After Henry heard Yvonne, he pressed his lips and didn't refute.

She was right. He didn't intend on staying at her ward long.

It was mainly because he just couldn't stop worrying about Jackie.

"Just go, Henry. I really want to sleep after going through a few hours of postoperative assessment." Yvonne yawned and once again requested for him to leave. 1

Although Henry wasn't happy, the sight of Yvonne in a wheelchair still made him suppress his emotions.

He removed his hands from his pockets and bent down to lift Yvonne up from the wheelchair.

Yvonne was shocked by his action and couldn't react for the longest time. Her face flushed crimson.

"What are you doing, Henry? Put me down!" She shouted shyly and anxiously, keeping her hands high up in the air because she didn't know where to put them.

"Shut up!" Henry growled and walked toward the hospital bed with Yvonne in his arms. "If I put you down, can you even make it to the bed by yourself?"

Yvonne choked.

That didn't seem possible for her to do.

Although her legs were fine, her spine couldn't support her. She couldn't even stand up, let alone climb onto her bed.

She shut her mouth obediently and stopped demanding Henry to put her down. Instead, she summoned the courage to put her arms around his neck and leaned against his chest while secretly squealing in her heart.

This was his first time holding her. 1

Henry laid her down on the bed carefully and pulled the blanket over her. After making sure that she was comfortable on the bed, he spoke through his thin lips, "Go to sleep. I'm leaving now."

"Alright," Yvonne blinked.

Henry adjusted his cuffs, then walked toward the door.

Yvonne gripped her blanket and watched him leave. She only loosened her grip and wore a depressed smile when he disappeared behind the closed door.

Although she was the one who chased him away, she still felt somewhat upset when he really left without even looking back.

However, she felt the lingering sweetness in her heart after reminiscing about how gently Henry had her in his arms like she was a princess. 2

If it wasn't for her current physical condition, she wouldn't mind having some sexy time with him.

It would be so nice if he could treat her so lovingly all the time...

With such absurd expectations, Yvonne closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep. 1

A few days later...

Shane took out the medical record and flipped through it. “Congratulations, sis-in-law. You're discharged from the hospital!”

"For real?” Yvonne asked in surprise.

Her excitement felt somewhat contagious to Shane as the frivolous smile on his face softened significantly." Of course. You may get the paperwork done now.”

"Great!” Yvonne stretched her body. "I feel so stiff after lying for the past few days. At least I can finally be discharged from the hospital."

"Well then madam, should I do the paperwork now?” Sue was happy for her too.

"Yes please, Sue." Yvonne nodded to her.

After Sue left, Yvonne got out of the hospital bed, then dragged out her suitcase from the corner and started packing up to leave.

Shane leaned against the wall and looked at her, "Do you want to inform Henry about your discharge so that he can pick you up?"

Yvonne paused abruptly. "Forget it."

"Why?" C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Maybe he’s busy these few days. He hasn't come to visit me. He's probably not free to pick me up.”

Yvonne lowered her head to conceal her expression as she continued packing her stuff.

Shane rubbed his chin as his eyes darkened, "Why did I hear that he hasn't been busy lately? He's been coming to the hospital every day. He didn't even pay you a visit?"
