CHAPTER 288 SHE HEARD

Yvonne was startled for a while before she realized what had happened and answered, "No, I'm not."

"Then y-you..."

Yvonne laughed, "I mean, the child we would have in the future."

"I see." Henry lowered his head and hid his disappointment from Yvonne.

He thought that a miracle had happened.

"Henry," shouted Yvonne suddenly.

Henry looked at her. "What?"

Yvonne bit her lip as if she had something unspeakable. "C-can I... bear your child again?"

"Are you thinking of..."

"Yes." Yvonne nodded her head.

Henry's eyes flashed with surprise but it disappeared a s soon as it came. He then gently smiled and replied, " Ok."

This was actually the first time she had ever asked him for pleasure.

Yvonne sighed in relief and approached his embrace with her reddened face and said, "Thank you." "We're married, so there's no need for you to thank me.

Having a child will always be both our responsibilities," said Henry as he held up her chin.

Yvonne avoided his gaze and nodded in agreement.

Henry pinched her cheeks and turned her head towards him. "Look at me."

Yvonne focused her gaze at him again.

"Kiss me," ordered Henry.

Yvonne's eyes widened. "K-kiss... kiss you?"

"That’s right." Henry nodded.

Yvonne gulped. "B-but..."

"You don't want to?" Henry interrupted her.

Yvonne tightened her palms. "No, it's just that I've never done it before, so I don’t know how to initiate.”

"You’ve got to learn if you don't know. Think back and follow exactly how I did it before," encouraged Henry.

Yvonne still felt embarrassed.

Henry squinted his eyes. "Do you not want a child?"

"I do!" blurted Yvonne without a second thought.

Henry grinned. "Then get to it."

"Do I really have to do it myself?" Yvonne was so nervous it was written all over her face.

Henry slightly raised his chin and did not reply, but his intentions were obvious-he wanted her to take initiative.

Yvonne had no choice but to take a deep breath, close her eyes, and stand on tip-toe as she kissed Henry’s lips.

His lips were so cold that she trembled the moment their lips touched.

However, she was able to get the hang of it very quickly and started to feel more relaxed as she recalled the images of how the man had normally kissed her. She then followed her memory and stuck out her tongue in an attempt to open up his lips.

However, she did not have the courage to exert too much force. Rather than trying to open up his lips, it would probably be more appropriate to say that she had licked him using her tongue. 1

Henry felt itchy from Yvonne’s licking that he squinted his eyebrows as he began to lose patience.

He understood that he would probably have to wait for who knows how long before she could really kiss him.

Therefore Henry changed from defense to offense-he carried Yvonne and spun her around before laying her on his desk.

"Ahh...” Yvonne moaned.

Henry seized the opportunity and stuck out his tongue and took the dominating position while her mouth was open.

A few hours later, everything returned back to silence as Yvonne curled up into a ball and slept due to

exhaustion.

Henry took a blanket and covered it over her. He then tidied the hair that was dangling around her face and stared at face which was still flushed red. After a while, he walked to his balcony and took out his phone to make a phone call.

"Hello? Who's this?” Shane’s hoarse voice came from Henry’s phone.

Henry stared at the starry night out of his balcony and coldly replied, "It's me.”

Everything was silent for a while.

A few seconds later, Shane roared in frustration, " Henry are you mad? What are you doing calling me in the middle of the night instead of being asleep?”

Henry ignored his rudeness and said, "Let me ask you this, does Yvonne still have any chance of being pregnant?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" asked Shane in a rough tone.

Henry pursed his lips. "She wants to have another child."

"So you've told her the truth?” asked Shane, his voice suddenly became deep and clear, as if he had completely awoken from his sleep.

Henry pressed against his collarbone. "I haven't, she wouldn't be able to accept the truth if I told her."

"I see." Shane sighed in relief but immediately turned serious. "The obstetrician told me that Yvonne's been s o badly injured, so the chances of her getting pregnant again are very low. It isn’t completely zero however, it's all up to fate now.”

"I don't want to leave it up to fate, I only want to know i f it is curable," said Henry impatiently.

Shane pondered for a few seconds. "There are two options, the first being body conditioning, but that would take a long time before you can see any results, i t may even be years later before she can become pregnant. Although her chances of being pregnant wouldn’t be as high as when she was in full health, probably around thirty percent."

"What's the other option?" Henry frowned.

The first option was more conservative. It would be a stable method, but time wouldn't be on their side.

He did not know if Yvonne would be willing to wait for that amount of time. In fact, Henry himself did not want to wait that long. He wanted her to be able to get pregnant as soon as possible.

Also, Henry had always known that Yvonne had always had a mental scar due to the loss of their first child. Therefore, he wanted her to get pregnant again a s soon as possible to compensate for her loss.

"The second option is...” Shane’s face darkened as if it was something unspeakable.

Henry had become even more impatient. "What is it, tell me!"

Shane sighed. "Alright, I'll tell you. The second option would be through In vitro fertilization. This would be the fastest method for both of you to have a child."

"No!” Henry immediately refused, his face darkened. Content is © by .

In vitro fertilization?

He was never going to approve of it!

Furthermore, he was not sure if Yvonne’s body would b e able to withstand the surgery required for it.

Shane was completely unsurprised by Henry's rejection and calmly yawned. "That was exactly why I did not want to tell you about this in the first place. You forced me to tell you, yet still rejected it when I told you."

Henry remained silent.

Shane continued, "If you want to have a child, you will need to take it one step at a time, rushing would only make things worse. Coincidentally, it's the weekend tomorrow, why don't you bring her to the hospital? I've already informed Yvonne to get a checkup two days ago."

"Alright,” replied Henry coldly.

After that, Shane informed Henry about some other matters before hanging up.

Henry kept his phone and was about to return to his

study.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something right after he had turned around. His pupils contracted and his expression changed.

After a while, he pursed his lips and gathered his mixed emotions before asking, "How long have you been standing there for?"

Yvonne did not reply and only stood by the window with her head lowered as she sobbed. Henry could not see her face clearly but the sad vibe that she had given out made him heartbroken.

Henry sighed helplessly. "You heard everything?"
