Secretary’s Secret Lover

Secretary’s Secret Lover By Zayla Quinn Chapter 197

Chapter 197 She Only Has Three Months Left!

Yvette was annoyed, thinking, now is not the time to worry about all this.

“Yvette…” Lance, his face pale, grabbed her hand tightly, despite all his pain.

Looking at how Lance looked now, Yvette felt a bit bitter.

She thought, is the truth really that important?

In any case, we are no longer together.

But she didn’t have the heart to speak her mind. Instead, she said, “No.”

But halfway through her sentence, Lance had already pulled her gently into his arms.

She was unable to say anything more.

That was because her lips were pressed against his.

Lance raised her chin with his beautiful and slender fingers as he rubbed his lips, which were thin and sexy, together with Yvette’s.

It brought about intense shudders.

Yvette’s legs went soft from his teasing, and she couldn’t help but feel a trace of shame.

And while they were kissing, she, with his injury in her mind, carefully put her hands on his shoulders, trying not to touch the injury.

And that gesture made the two stay even closer.

Then at some point, Lance held back and released her, knowing that Yvette was on the verge of giving in.

Noticing that, Yvette was angry and annoyed. If he wasn’t sick now, Yvette would have slapped him on the face already.

She tried hard, wanting to pull her hand back. But Lance held her hand very tightly.

“Lance!” Yvette felt as if she had walked into a trap.

“Do you want to go back on your word?”

Yvette thought, haven’t we agreed that we won’t be engaged with each other anymore?

Why did he always do this, biting and kissing me for no reason?

“Yes, I want,” Lance answered briskly without showing a trace of apology as if Yvette was the one who broke the promise.

Yvette was infuriated. “You!”

Lance’s eyes were dark as he stared at her enigmatically. “If you find it unfair, you can feel me up instead!”

Yvette found Lance’s words jaw-dropping.

Then Lance continued, “That night, I fucked you three times. You can double it in compensation. How about

it?”

Noticing that Yvette made no comment, Lance continued in earnest, “As a businessman, I need to tell you. that the benefit outweighs the loss in this deal for you.”

Yvette was speechless, thinking, wow! Thank you a lot then!

I have never seen someone who is so brazen and can turn things like this in his favor.

Just because he is handsome doesn’t mean he can do this!

How could he say something so outrageous without even blushing?

Yvette was totally startled by Lance’s suggestion.

“What do you want on earth?” She frowned.

“I want to get to know you all over again.” Lance gazed at her deeply, his eyes charming and starry.

Yvette’s heart jolted.

“To get to know you, the current you,” Lance said with a smile.

He did not say that he wanted to start the relationship all over again. Instead, he wanted to get to know her

once more.

He wanted to present the new version of him to get to know the current version of Yvette.

Putting their past behind was the only way they two could be together.

But Yvette was upset, thinking, you can’t undo the damage that has been done. Ignoring it won’t work.

And I know I’ll always hold a grudge over it.

Then Yvette shook her head. “I think where we’re now suits me just fine.”

In Yvette’s eyes, they could not get any closer.

She was afraid of being hurt.

Meanwhile, Lance knew that Yvette wouldn’t accept him that easily. Hence, he was not in a hurry.

“I won’t force you to accept it immediately, but I do have a request.”

Yvette looked at him, who then said affectionately. “Don’t hide from me anymore.”

His eyes were deep and charming. At the sight of those, Yvette lowered her head. “Then you can’t force me to

do things I don’t want to.”

“Okay,” Lance answered right away.

Get Bou

He could force her to do anything if he wanted to, but he wouldn’t since he did not want to hurt her again.

“It’s getting late. Come up here and sleep now.” Lance patted the bed a bit.

“No need.” Yvette shook her head. “I’ll sit here. If I’m tired, I’ll doze for a while.”

While she answered, she was wondering why there wasn’t even a bed for patients’ company in the VIP ward, which cost around a hundred thousand dollars a night.

Just now, she had asked a nurse if she could rent a folding bed here as she did in some public hospitals. But

the nurse said no. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Yvette was speechless, thinking, private hospitals are very special, aren’t they?

Noticing that Yvette was sitting, Lance decided to sit with her.

In fact, the wound on his abdomen required him to lie down. That way, he could recover more quickly.

Yvette advised him to sleep, which he refused. Instead, he started to work, with his fingers typing the

keyboard on and off.

Yvette knew what he meant. He was saying that if she didn’t sleep, he wouldn’t as well.

However, Yvette insisted on staying up anyway and started to play on her phone. Just like that, half an hour

had passed.

Then Yvette looked up at Lance again, only to find that there were beads of sweat on Lance’s forehead,

which, obviously, was because of his sitting.

Immediately, her heart softened.

Yvette hated herself for always being so soft-hearted.

Then she sighed, “Will you sleep if I go to bed?”

Lance laughed, looking rather charming. “Yes, I will share the bed with you.”

Yvette then rose from her chair, walked toward the closet, and took out a quilt before making the bed a little.

“Let’s make it clear. We’ll each have a quilt. You are not allowed to cross the line and get into mine.”

Lance was a little regretful, thinking, how could I forget to ask the nurse to take the quilt away?

But now it is already too late.

Ellen walked out of the hospital, emotionally drained.

She had the test results now.

It was middle- and terminal-stage gastric cancer.

That required her to undergo surgery right away. Otherwise, she would have only three months left.

The report in her hand indicated clearly that her stomach was severely suffering.

But that was not what upset her the most.

The blood test report in her hand showed that she was pregnant.

She was two months pregnant.

Over the past two months, she had bled several times after having sex with Jamie. She thought that was her period and it was normal.

She never thought that she would get pregnant.

It was true that Jamie was free-spirited and never liked to use condoms. But Ellen took contraceptives every time. Therefore, she was shocked that she would end up being pregnant like this.

Then she recalled what her doctor told her, “You have to have an abortion as soon as possible. Only by doing that can you undergo stomach surgery.”

Ellen bit her lips, which were dry, and made a decision right off.

She could have an abortion now. As for the surgery, it would have to be postponed a bit.

The Robbins Group was going through a life-and-death struggle now. And there were promising deals that awaited Ellen to close, which Ellen had put a great deal of effort into already.

Now that the Robbins Group was rising after things slowed down for quite a long time, Ellen wasn’t resigned

to hospitalizing herself and leaving the group unattended.

With her parents being very sick now, she was the only one the Robbins Group could count on.

At the thought of this, she tore the report apart and threw it into the trash can. Then she got into her car

without a backward glance.

But after sitting in the car, she found that her fingers kept trembling. It looked like she wasn’t able to drive

now.

Therefore, she took out her phone, wanting to have her assistant, Alanna Mellon, drive the car instead.

However, Alanna called her before she did.

After picking the phone up, Ellen heard Alanna say in a flustered voice. “Ellen, it’s bad! The orders from those

companies you contacted before have all encountered some problems.”

“What?”

Alanna sobbed, “They refused to take our finished products, saying that we fail to meet their requirements.”

Ellen took a deep breath. “How could it be?”

Ellen had checked the sample and every production procedure herself before.

Since all these products were the hope of the Robbins Group, there was no way she would be so careless and

make stupid mistakes like that.

Then Ellen left her car, took a taxi, and went back to the company right off. Those products had piled up in

the company now.

Then Ellen made phone calls to all those companies, trying to figure out what had happened. But they all just dodged to give their reasons.

Fortunately, a client reminded her out of kindness at last.

“Ms. Robbins, have you offended anyone?”

Ellen thought, offended anyone?

After thinking for quite a while, Ellen failed to think of any enemy except for Jamie.

Then she, her hand shaking, called Jamie. “Mr. McBride, where are you?”

There was a hubbub over the phone. It seemed that Jamie was in a busy place.

Then Jamie’s voice came through the phone, cold and ruthless. “I’m not free today!”

Then Jamie’s voice disappeared.

The phone was hung up.

Ellen then contacted a business acquaintance of Jamie’s immediately, asking Jamie’s whereabouts.

The acquaintance said, “It is Fiona’s birthday today. Mr. McBride is holding a birthday party for her on a

private yacht.”

Ellen hung up the phone and rushed to the dock immediately.

Tomorrow was the due date to repay the loan, which was 13 million dollars. That was a loan huge enough to

take down the Robbins family.

Therefore, she could not afford to wait for a second longer.
