“Madam should have gone to bed already. Did you need anything from her? Should I wake her up?” Sue set the remote down.Henry raised his hand to stop her. “It’s alright, I will go myself.”After saying that, he went upstairs.The room was dark and so quiet that he could hear a pin drop.Henry turned on the lamp and light instantly flooded the room.He glanced at the bed and saw a lump under the quilt. Someone was obviously on the bed.“She really went to sleep!” Henry muttered under his breath. He approached the bed quietly and looked down at the woman.She had really fallen asleep. Her sleeping face looked pretty angelic, but he could tell that she wasn’t sleeping peacefully from the way her eyebrows were slightly knitted together.Was she having a nightmare?Henry reached out and touched her forehead, but perished the thought of waking her up.Forget it, he would just talk to her tomorrow.He had put it off for so many days, so it didn’t matter if he delayed it for another
“Why are you suddenly asking about her?” Shane’s lips curled into a small smile as a glint flashed across his eyes. “Didn't you say that she is just a nobody? Since she doesn't matter, you shouldn’t concern yourself with whether she’d suffer from any long-term side effects.”Henry grew displeased. “I indeed said such a thing, but that doesn't mean that I’m willing to see something happen to her.”“Seems like you still care a great deal about her,” Shane chuckled.Henry pressed his lips impatiently. “Answer my question!”“Fine, I’ll tell you.” Shane sat up straight and grew serious. “She is in good physical condition, but I can’t tell for sure if she’ll suffer from any long-term side effects. After all, I wasn’t the one who checked her last time. Why don’t you bring her to me and I’ll get her checked personally?”“Alright, I'll bring her over in a while.” Henry agreed without thinking.After hanging up the phone, he took his coat off the coat rack and went out of his office.Henr
“No.” Shane shook his head, then readjusted the expression on his face with a smile. “Our nurse just made a mistake in the data and didn't know how to rectify it, so she asked for help.”“Is that so?” Yvonne knitted her beautiful eyebrows, unable to shake off the feeling that there was something wrong with his words yet she couldn't quite put a finger on it.“Of course. If there was really something wrong with your blood test, I couldn’t possibly hide it from you as a doctor.”Yvonne thought that it made sense, so she said nothing and quickly calmed down.She was glad to hear that her blood test went well.“Well, it’s almost time. Let's go sis-in-law, I’ll take you to the CT scan room to check your heart,” Shane changed the subject calmly.Yvonne hummed and followed him to the CT scan room.When they were halfway there, Shane suddenly turned around. “By the way, you mentioned that your mother is biased to her son right?"Yvonne nodded, “Yeah, I did. What's the matter?”“Just a
Henry lowered his gaze to conceal the emotions in his eyes. “Just something about the surgery.”“Surgery?” Jacqueline's eyes lit up with unconcealed excitement. “Has the date been set? When can I have the surgery?”“Very soon. The first surgery is set to be within these few days.”“That’s great!” Jacqueline clasped her hands together and wept with joy.Henry offered her a tissue. “Don't cry, you’ll look terrible.”“Are you criticizing me?” Jacqueline pouted unhappily.Henry shook his head gently, “No.”“I don't believe you!” Jacqueline brought her legs up and hugged her knees. Her face was full of sadness. “Actually, I know I am very ugly now. My hair is about to fall out, my skin is turning dark and yellow, and I look like a pile of bones. How could I possibly look good…”“You’ll recover when your illness is cured. Don't think about it too much now!” Henry reached out and tousled her hair. His heart ached for the woman.Jacqueline sniffed, “Do you think I can still dance in t
Lynette set the tea aside and didn’t drink it. “You haven’t heard yet?”“Heard what?” Yvonne looked at her dubiously.Lynette rolled her eyes. “The discussions! Haven't you noticed the strange atmosphere in the company today? Didn't you hear them talking about you when you came to work this morning and when you just got back?”“I did.” Yvonne nodded, “But I don't know what they’re talking about.”She was wondering earlier too.She’d received all sorts of attention and heard all the whisperings around her since the morning, but it actually went on until the afternoon.She was even starting to wonder if someone had stuck a paper on her back.“My God, you are really living in your own world and are oblivious to the outside world!” Lynette was speechless at her.“You think I want it this way? I’m just too busy and have no time to pay any attention to others.” Yvonne propped her face with her hands. “Just tell me what I have done to become the target of their gossip.”“Actually, yo
The woman on the other end of the line repeated her question again when she didn’t get a response from Yvonne after a long time. “Hello? Who are you? I’m gonna hang up if you’re not gonna tell me anything.”“Hold on, don't hang up first!” Yvonne quickly stopped her.The woman really didn't hang up. “Then hurry up.”“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Yvonne took a deep breath and pulled herself together. “I’m Henry’s wife. May I ask who you are?”“Wife?” The woman's voice became sharp again. “You’re telling me that you’re Henry’s wife?”“Yes.”The woman sneered coldly. “Excuse me, Miss. Henry isn’t married yet. How would he have a wife? Can you lie a bit smarter?”Yvonne was choked by her harsh words as confusion grew inside her.She was really Henry's wife, but everyone else in this world thought that Henry was single. She was really a failure of a wife.And she was bothered by this woman’s existence.Why would she be holding Henry's phone this late at night and calling him so intimately
“What can I possibly tell her?” Yvonne gave him a strange look.She and Jacqueline weren’t acquainted, and they hadn’t ever met each other either. What could she possibly talk to her about?“You told her you are my wife.” Henry walked to the bed with a gloomy expression.Yvonne opened her mouth, “I…”“It seems like you have remembered it,” he interrupted her.“Yes, I did say that.” Yvonne bit her lip, “But I didn't make a mistake.”“You’re right. But haven’t I told you that you are not allowed to talk about our relationship?” Henry pressed his thin lips coldly.Yvonne lowered her head with guilt and replied in a small voice, “Yes. But I didn't tell her my name, so she doesn't know who I am…”“You should be thankful that she didn't know and didn't believe you. If something happened to Jackie, I won't forgive you!” Henry pulled off his necktie and went into the closet.Yvonne sat on the bed with a pale face.She couldn’t understand it. She had only claimed that she was Henry’s
Yvonne woke up sore the next day, but there was no sight of Henry beside her.She was disappointed at first, but felt a faint sweetness filling her heart when she saw the red marks on her body.After he took her virginity in her sleep last time, she felt nothing but pain.Yet last night, she indeed felt the real happiness of being a woman.However, her happiness didn't last long. Her attention was drawn to an envelope beside the bed.What was that?Yvonne sat up wrapped in the quilt and reached out to the envelope.She checked both sides of the envelope first, but found nothing so she opened it.Yvonne took out the document, then froze as soon as her eyes fell on the words.This was…The bone marrow donor agreement?Yvonne slowly tightened her grip on the document as she felt the sweetness in her heart dissipate and get replaced by sadness.“Guess he really can't wait,” she laughed self-deprecatingly.Henry did tell her to sign it today.But she didn’t expect that he woul
