Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 661 Proposal

Henry and Shane looked at each other, but they didn't want to tell her.

Since it was a surprise, it wouldn't be surprising anymore if they said it.

Yvonne pouted, "Forget it."

"Okay, you both should have some rest. I'll make a move first. People are still waiting for me in the laboratory," Shane said, picked up the test tube containing Henry's blood, and went out.

The ward became quiet again.

Henry touched Yvonne’s head. "Tired?"

Yvonne said, "A little. I get tired fast after waking up these days."

Henry felt sad deep down in his heart, but his face was calm and gentle. "Sleep then."

Yvonne said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I won't wake up after this sleep?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Henry pursed his thin lips. "No, I'll wake you up every once in a while. I won't let you sleep deeply."

"It's very immoral of you to do so. No one would wake someone else when they fall asleep." Yvonne stared at him.

Henry endured the sadness in his heart and covered

her eyes. "Alright, go to sleep.”

"Then I'll sleep now."

"Okay.” Henry nodded, but he didn't take his hand away.

After a while, he felt the eyelashes under his palm stop moving. He knew that she was asleep, so he took his hand away.

Looking at Yvonne's thin sleeping face, Henry's heart was painful and tense.

He really wanted to destroy Jacqueline's tombstone if doing so wasn't meaningless.

With a heavy sigh, Henry tucked Yvonne in and then turned to his bed.

Soon, it was the next day.

Yvonne was awakened when she was still in deep sleep.

Opening her dim eyes, she saw Henry's handsome face appear in front of her.

She forced a smile at him. "Are you really waking me u p? How long did I sleep?"

Henry answered softly, "One day."

In fact, he didn't wake her up every now and then like he said yesterday.

But he came to check on her breath once in a while.

Although he knew that her last days were still a few days away, he was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to wake up once she fell asleep.

Luckily, nothing happened tonight.

She was still alive.

Yvonne was shocked. "One day? I slept for so long?"

Henry nodded. "Yes, you slept really well."

Yvonne looked at him. "Didn't you say that you'd wake me up every once in a while? Why didn’t you do so?”

Henry looked into her eyes and replied earnestly, "I don’t want to. You look good when you sleep."

Yvonne rolled her eyes-she obviously didn't believe him. "I know how I look now. I look in the mirror too. How can I still look good?”

Currently, she looked like Dominic when she saw him.

Even thinner than Dominic.

How blind could he be to think that she was pretty?

Henry said with a smile, "Well, it's already the next day. Don’t you want to know what surprise I've prepared for you?"

This sentence reminded Yvonne.

Her dim eyes finally had a little luster in them. "Of course I want to know. Tell me, what's the surprise?"

Henry said to her, "Close your eyes.”

Yvonne closed her eyes obediently.

Henry covered her eyes with his hand. "I have to do this to prevent you from peeping."

"Hmph!" Yvonne groaned in dissatisfaction, but she didn't stop him and let him cover her eyes.

Right after that, she heard the door of the ward open. A lot of people came in and there was the sound of wheels. 1

What kind of surprise did he prepare that he needed a trolley to push it?

Yvonne was very curious and she wanted to take away Henry's hand.

But she had no strength and couldn't lift her hand. She could only think about it.

"Henry."

It was Shane's voice.

He was here too!

Henry hummed and said, "Let's get started."

Shane said. "Okay. Stand properly."

Their conversation was so vague that Yvonne couldn't understand what they were talking about, but she heard a rustling sound as if someone was changing clothes!

Changing clothes?

She was even more curious. Was Henry changing his clothes?

Maybe she guessed it right. Henry changed his hand that was covering her eyes a few times.

In other words, Henry changed clothes with Shane’s help.

Henry said softly to Yvonne, "Okay, it's ready. I'll take my hands off on the count of three and then you can open your eyes."

Yvonne said, "Okay."

Henry finished counting and took his hand away." One, two, three!”

Yvonne opened her eyes and saw him standing beside his hospital bed in a formal suit, smiling at her.

Yvonne was stunned. “Why are you dressed..."

She was just about to ask him why he was all dressed up. Then, she saw a pair of hands stretched out, handing a bouquet of bright red roses to Henry.

Henry took the roses and suddenly knelt on one knee.

Yvonne's pupils shrank. "What are you doing?”

"What do you see on the rose?" Shane patted Yvonne's shoulder and then pointed at the roses, indicating her t o look.

Yvonne looked over and saw that there was a sparkling diamond ring on the roses.

The diamond was round. It was an engagement ring.

Was he proposing to her?

Yvonne looked at Henry in disbelief.

Henry knew that she had guessed it and he nodded slightly. "This is the surprise I want to give you. Nine years ago when we first got married, I didn't propose t o you, so I'll make it up for you this time. I chose both the ring and even the wedding dress. Do you like it?"

There was a wedding dress?

Yvonne was confused. "Where is the wedding dress?"

Shane pointed in another direction. "There it is."

But this time Yvonne couldn't see it because she was lying down.

When Shane realized that, he put down the tablet in his hand and helped her up to lean on the headboard.

This time, Yvonne saw a gorgeous wedding dress with a long tail placed at the door. It was so elegant and classy, which made people like it at first sight.

No wonder she heard the rustling of wheels. It was the wheels under the shelf they used to support the wedding dress.

Yvonne's eyes were red and the tears rolled in her eyes. "Why did you suddenly think of proposing to m e?"

Henry said again, "This is my surprise for you."

Yvonne looked at him and said, "I thought you were just preparing presents for me. I didn't expect that..."

Henry asked, "Are you surprised?"

Yvonne bit her lip. "How is it a surprise? I'm shocked. How can someone propose to another person when she's so ugly? Look at me now. Is it appropriate?"

Henry said softly, "Yes. In my heart, you're always the most beautiful. If I don’t propose to you now, I won't have a chance next time."

Yvonne lowered her eyelids. "Yeah..."

Shane saw both of them in this situation and he felt sad.

But he took a deep breath and cheered up. "Well, why are you guys talking about this? Today's the day Henry proposes to you. We should be happy. Henry, what are you doing in a daze? Quick, say it. Do you want to kneel all the time?"

There was a sound coming from the tablet in his hand. "Yes, sir. Tell madam quickly."

Yvonne was shocked for a moment. "Sue?"

Shane nodded. "Yes, Sue and the others are also witnesses. Have a look."

He handed the tablet over.

When Yvonne saw Sue, Frederick, and Elliot on the tablet, her tears burst instantly. "You guys..."
