Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 46 A Successful Surgery

Yvonne opened her mouth in astonishment, "You..."

"Enough!” Henry squeezed her hand with the right amount of force, "I told you I'd accompany you up there. Why are you being so stubborn? Let's go!"

He dragged her out of Jacqueline's ward.

On their way upstairs, Yvonne kept staring at her hand which was in Henry's. A while after that, she finally returned to her senses with a silent smile.

With Henry in front of her, she wouldn't be scared to g o on a battlefield, let alone a bone marrow donation surgery.

She had also gotten over the fact that Henry still had Jacqueline in his heart. In any case, she was the one whom he married. Since Henry had also said that he wouldn’t get back with Jacqueline, it was all the assurance she needed. 6

As long as she could stay by his side, Yvonne believed that Henry would eventually see her for who she was one day. 1

With this optimistic thought in mind, Yvonne put on the surgical gown and laid down on the surgical bed. Under Henry's watch, she was pushed into the operating room by the nurse.

Shane hovered above her, wearing a surgical mask."

Are you ready?”

Yvonne took a nervous breath, "Yes, I am.”

"Let us commence the surgery then," Shane gave her a serious nod. He ordered the other nurses while putting on a pair of latex gloves, "Administer the anesthesia!"

One of the nurses came forward, "Right away.”

Yvonne could neither lift her head nor see the nurse's movements. She only felt a pinch on her arm, followed by the sensation of a cold liquid coursing through the veins in her body.

Very soon after that, she started feeling weak as her vision gradually blurred. She slowly shut her eyes and became oblivious to the world around her...

By the time she woke up, she was already back in her ward. The noise of someone crying next to her made her head spin.

"Sue?” Yvonne moved her body. Her voice cracked from her dry throat.

Sue hurriedly wiped her tears and turned around when she heard Yvonne’s voice, "Madam, you're awake!"

“Yeah..." Yvonne responded weakly as she tried to sit u P-

Sue hurriedly stopped her from moving when she saw that, then forced her to lie back down again. "Madam, you can’t move too much after the surgery! Please lie down!" “Fine, fine! I won't move!" Yvonne didn't know if she should be laughing or crying, but laid down obediently again.

Sue gave her a satisfied smile upon seeing her obedience.

Yvonne looked at her and suddenly asked, "What time is it now, Sue?"

Sue checked the time, "Almost two in the afternoon.”

Yvonne racked her brain. "How long has passed since my surgery?"

"Exactly a day."

"Only a day huh...?" Yvonne mumbled to herself softly.

It wasn't that long.

She thought that at least two or three days had passed.

Sue tucked the blanket into the bed and asked nervously, "Madam, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Yvonne shook her head, "No, my body just feels sore..."

"Of course you would feel sore after surgery!" Sue pressed the call button on the bedside and pitied Yvonne.

Yvonne smiled at her, feeling warmth in her heart. "By the way, why are you here, Sue? I don’t recall telling you about the surgery."

"Sir asked me to come take care of you after the surgery. I thought something happened to you, but I ended up finding out that you've donated your bone marrow. How could sir do this to you!" Sue said indignantly with a stern face.

Yvonne didn't feel anything. In any case, she had donated the bone marrow so she could only accept the fact.

She was only a little disappointed that Henry wasn't around when she woke up.

"Did Henry come here?" Yvonne asked hopefully.

Sue turned her head away and couldn't bear to look at Yvonne. "No, sir has been with that Conrad woman all this while!”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yvonne's face froze as the lights in her eyes gradually dimmed. "I see..."

"Don't be sad, madam. I'll get sir to come over now." Sue got up and was about to go find Henry.

Yvonne pulled her back and smiled while forcing herself to put on a strong facade. “Don't go, Sue. There's nothing wrong with Henry being worried about Miss Conrad since she has just gotten her surgery done. Let him spend more time with her. I'll b efine." 3

Sue stopped her footsteps and responded angrily," Yes, she indeed just had her surgery done, but isn't it the same for you madam? In my opinion, sir only

cares about that woman but not you."

"Well he never cared about me since the beginning," Yvonne smiled bitterly.

Sue panicked, "Madam, I didn't say that on that purpose, I just..."

"It’s okay Sue, I don’t blame you." Yvonne patted the back of her hand and assured her, then asked, "Is Miss Conrad alright? Was her surgery successful?"

This was what she was most concerned about right now.

Sue nodded, "Yes it was. What could possibly happen t o her with sir by her side?"

"That’s good," Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Jacqueline's surgery was successful, her bone marrow wasn't donated in vain.

"What’s good about that?" Sue rolled her eyes, "The woman might just be up to no good once she has recovered!"

"What do you mean?" Yvonne blinked in confusion.

"Nothing, forget about it..." Sue waved her hand in a panic and smiled.

Although Yvonne was curious, she resisted the urge to ask when she saw the way Sue was behaving. She cleared her throat and changed the subject, "Sue, can you fetch me some water? I'm thirsty!"

Sue calmed down and slapped herself on the forehead, "Oh dear, how careless of me for not asking you if you needed any food or water.”

After saying that, she hurriedly poured a glass of water for Yvonne.

Since it was too painful for Yvonne to sit up, Sue patiently fed her with a spoon. 1

After she was done drinking, Sue picked up the urinal bottle under the bed. "Do you need to use the toilet, madam?"

Yvonne blushed and shook her head, "No need.”

"Alright then, tell me when you need to use the bathroom," Sue put the urinal bottle back to where it was.

Yvonne stared at the ceiling in despair. She had indescribable feelings in her heart along with embarrassment and awkwardness.

She never expected the day when she would actually b e reduced to using a urinal bottle just to go to the bathroom would come. 1

Knock, knock, knock...

A series of knocks suddenly came from the door.

Yvonne’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the door with anticipation. "Who's that?"

"It’s me, sis-in-law,” Shane's hearty voice rang out from the other side of the door.

Yvonne lowered her gaze to conceal the disappointment in her eyes, "Hang on for a moment." She thought it was Henry.

"Sue, open the door for Dr. Summers," Yvonne instructed her.

Sue responded and walked towards the door.

The door was opened and Shane came in wearing a white coat with a smile on his face, "Hello, sis- in-law."

"Hello," Yvonne smiled back.

Shane raised his eyebrow and teased her, "Sis-in-law, you don't seem very happy to see me. Is it because I'm not the person you are waiting for?"

Yvonne's eyes flickered, but very quickly returned to normal. "No, I just woke up and I still feel groggy."

"Ah, I see. Let me check up on you." Shane’s expression immediately turned serious.

Yvonne was rendered speechless.

The change in his expression was a little too quick.

He changed from looking like a joker into a serious doctor in just a blink of an eye. Not every actor could b e as professional as him in changing roles.

Even with that thought in mind, Yvonne cooperated seriously when Shane was checking up on her.

Sue stood and watched nervously from the side. As soon as the examination was over, she quickly asked," Is madam alright, Dr. Summers?"

"She's fine. Just need to take plenty of rest. You won't be suffering from any long-term side effects, but your body definitely won't be as healthy as before," Shane looked at Yvonne.

Yvonne didn’t have much of a reaction since she already knew that, "Is there anything else?"
