Love After Marriage Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 18

"Yvonne Frey?” Henry frowned slightly.

The person on the other end of the line hummed in response.

"What is it?"

"I heard you are in the hospital. Are you feeling unwell?" Yvonne clutched the hem of her blouse as she carefully inquired.

On the other end of the line, Henry cast a sideways glance at the hosptial bed as his eyes turned serious. " Yeah."

"Is it serious?" Yvonne straightened her back as her voice grew louder with worries mixed in it. "Which hospital are you in? I'll come over!"

"No need!" Henry’s handsome face sank. "Have you finished your work?"

Words got stuck in Yvonne’s throat.

"If you haven't finished, then hurry it up. I want to see i t when I come back!"

After saying that, Henry ended the call.

"Henry, who’s that?" A curious and weak female voice rang out behind him.

When Henry heard the voice, the cold expression on his face instantly softened.

"Did I wake you?” He turned around.

"No, the anesthesia just wore off. You haven't answered me yet." The woman lifted her bony hand and placed it on the back of his hand.

Henry could feel the coldness of her palm. He retracted his hand and put hers under the blanket." Just a nobody. Don't worry about it." 4

"Is that so?" The woman smiled at her faintly and stopped asking. She turned her head to the side and started coughing so badly that she looked like she was about to cough her lungs out.

Pain flashed across Henry's eyes as he immediately pressed on the emergency button on the side of the bed.

A few doctors rushed in quickly, with Shane Summers in front of them. After checking up on the patient, Shane removed his gloves. "Nothing serious, but we can't keep delaying it. Henry, have her sign the bone marrow donor agreement as soon as you can."

"Bone marrow donor agreement?" Jacqueline Conrad sat up on her bed as her eyes lit up in surprise. "You found a donor, Henry?"

Unable to bear her disappointment, Henry slowly uttered a "yes" to her.

Jacqueline covered her mouth and wept in joy.

Henry helped her lie down. "Rest well and don't worry about anything. I have it all under control."

He wouldn't let her die!

Henry walked up to her angrily and tapped her desk twice. "Yvonne Frey!"

Yvonne was startled awake and shot right up. "Here!"

"Are you a secretary who sleeps on the job?" Henry pursed his thin lips and spoke in an icy tone.

Yvonne helped and was fully awake now. "My apologies. It's my mistake..."

She accidentally nodded off because she had waited for him so long last night that she barely caught a few hours of sleep.

Little did she expect she would be caught red-handed.

"Write a self-reflection report of five hundred words and hand it in to me before getting off work today!” He ordered.

"Alright," Yvonne responded bitterly. 1

"Have you finished your work?" Henry asked again.

"I did." Yvonne hurriedly pushed a stack of papers on the desk toward him. Her eyes were shining, making her seem like a small animal who was asking for praise.

Henry’s pupils suddenly dilated as words were clogged in his throat.
