CHAPTER 151 HE WON'T LET HER DONATE HER BONE MARROW

"Bone marrow rejection can be suppressed." Henry replied.

Dominic choked before he argued again, "It can be suppressed, but the process will also be torturous, so why are you doing this, Henry? I'm just getting

Yvonne to donate a little bone marrow. It won't kill her. Why are you suddenly against it? Do you know this could kill Jacqueline!"

"I know. I won't let Jacqueline die, but Yvonne can't donate her bone marrow either," as he said this, Henry's expression had never been more earnest.

Dominic eyed Henry suspiciously, "Henry, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"It's nothing. But I've already made the final decision." Henry answered blandly.

Dominic didn't give up, "Something must have happened to you. Why would you change your attitude all of a sudden? Didn't you say that you would find a way to make Yvonne agree to donate her bone marrow?"

"She has already donated once. She can't donate again or her body won't be able to handle it."

"When did you start caring about her?" Dominic was surprised.

Henry wrinkled his eyebrows, "So, I can't show her any concern?"

Dominic smiled, "I don't mean it that way. I just find it a little strange. You don't have any feelings for Yvonne. In the past three years, I haven't seen you show her the least bit of concern. Why are you suddenly... Henry, you're not in love with her, are you?" 2

Henry's eyes darkened when he heard those words.

How many people had already said these words to him?

The third or the fourth?

Why did they all think that he was in love with Yvonne the moment he showed the littlest bit of concern for her?

"No!" Henry refuted quietly.

He was definitely not in love with Yvonne.

Dominic was slightly relieved when he heard him say that. "It's fine if that's the case. I thought you really were smitten with that woman so you didn't want her t 0 donate her bone marrow. Henry, you mustn't fall for her. If so, what will happen to Jacqueline?"

"Jacqueline didn't say anything to you?" Henry raised his eyebrows.

Domonic was confused, "What should Jacqueline tell me?" "It's impossible for Jacqueline and me to be together." "This..." Dominic was nonplussed, "Henry, are you serious? What do you mean by it's impossible? For you, Jacqueline..."

"Alright, Mr. Conrad, there's no need to elaborate on this. The only reason I called you tonight is to tell you that I won't let Yvonne donate her bone marrow. I'll personally inform Jacqueline. So, don't worry about that. Goodbye!" Henry directly hung up the phone without saying anything more.

After hanging up, he did not put the phone down. Instead, he called Joe again to request for him to recommend a good obstetrician.

Since Yvonne had donated her bone marrow previously, she needed a thorough physical examination to make sure that the child in her womb was safe.

Joe was quite surprised when Henry asked him to look for an obstetrician.

"If Mr. Lancaster is looking for an obstetrician, does it mean that your wife is pregnant?" Joe immediately guessed the reason.

Henry didn't have any reason to hide that so he acknowledged it curtly.

Joe opened his mouth wide with surprise, "So it's actually true. Congratulations, Mr. Lancaster."

"Thank you." The corner of Henry's lips lifted slightly and he seemed to be in a good mood, "Make

arrangements quickly, I'll bring Yvonne over tomorrow."

"Okay Mr. Lancaster, I'll make the arrangements," Joe promised.

After the conversation ended, Henry sat in the study for a while longer before getting up and leaving to go back to his room.

Henry thought that Yvonne had fallen asleep, but when he went into the bedroom, he didn't expect to see her sitting on the bed in a daze.

Caught in her reverie, she didn't even have a cardigan on, apparently unworried about catching a cold.

"Why are you still awake?" Henry walked over to her. H e took off his jacket and threw it at her head.

The jacket slid down her head and stopped at her shoulder, quite coincidentally.

Yvonne recovered from her reverie and turned her neck to look at him, "You're back?"

Her voice was very hoarse.

Henry pursed his lips, "Why are you just sitting here in a daze and not asleep?"

"How am I supposed to sleep if you don't tell me your choice clearly?" she shifted her body to relax her muscles after sitting for a long time.

Henry lowered his eyes and explained calmly, "I called Dominic."

"Huh?” Yvonne was startled, "What did you say?" "I told him that I wouldn't let you donate your bone marrow." Henry looked into her eyes and said that sentence word by word.

Yvonne straightened her back, emotions overwhelmed her eyes, "You really said that? So, your choice is the child, right?"

"Yes, this child has to stay." Henry's gaze moved from her face to her abdomen before pausing.

Yvonne lifted the quilt and exposed her abdomen, unabashedly, for him to see. "Thank goodness. I thought you would choose Miss Conrad, but you chose the child. What about Miss Conrad? I don't suppose you'd give up on saving her either, would you?"

"Yes, but I'll have Shane arrange another bone marrow for Jacqueline first," Henry nodded.

Yvonne blinked blankly, "Another bone marrow? It shouldn't match hers, so wouldn't it be rejected?" exclusive content.

The problem of rejection in a transplant could be so serious that if it is not suppressed properly, not only would the patient be unable to recover, but it would also aggravate a patient's condition.

Most importantly, when rejection occurs, a patient would often be in extreme pain. Some patients would even commit suicide if they couldn't stand the pain.

"I'll have Shane suppress the rejection if it occurs, so you don't have to worry about it. You just have to take care and give birth to a healthy baby." Henry tugged at the tie around his neck.

Since Henry made his point, Yvonne wasn't in the position to say anything more so she just nodded.

Whatever happens to Jacqueline wasn't really her concern, as long as they didn't try to take her bone marrow.

"Right, about your pregnancy, who else knows about i t? Does Grandpa know?" Henry asked again.

Yvonne shook her head, "Grandpa doesn't know. I haven't told him yet, but Sue knows."

Henry raised his chin slightly to show that he understood, "When did you find out that you were pregnant?"

"Sue found out first. She noticed that my menstruation cycle was a bit abnormal, so she wondered if I was pregnant. I took a leave of absence t o go to the hospital for a test, just over ten days ago." Yvonne replied.

"More than ten days ago.." Henry murmured quietly and his expression grew stern, "If you found out so early, why did you hide it until now?"

"Because I wanted to give you a surprise. I was going t o tell you today, but you went to the hospital before I had a chance to tell you," Yvonne explained with downcast eyes.

Henry immediately recalled that she had told him earlier in the day that she had good news to share.

So this good news was that she was pregnant?

"Stupid!" Henry eyed her discontentedly.

Yvonne was stunned. "Stupid?"

"Isn't it stupid? Keeping your pregnancy a secret just for a surprise. Can you take responsibility if anything happens to you in the meantime?" Henry chided her.

Yvonne lowered her head, feeling indignant. "Well, nothing happened."

"Yes, you're fine. But what if something bad happened? " Henry questioned icily.

Yvonne pursed her lips and didn't utter a word.

Henry inhaled and suppressed his slight anger." Alright, come with me tomorrow for a detailed checkup. You can tell Grandpa about your pregnancy after the results come back."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Yvonne answered with a smile. At that very moment, the apprehension she felt had all dissipated and she was completely at ease.

She suddenly realized that she had overestimated Jacqueline's position in his heart. Perhaps, Jacqueline wasn't as important to him as she assumed.

Why else would he have chosen so straightforwardly?

Thinking about this, Yvonne laughed out and suddenly felt some sympathy for Jacqueline.

"What are you laughing at?" Henry threw her a sidelong glance.
