Chapter 53 Postoperative Assessment
Chapter 53 Postoperative Assessment
"Madam, what did sir tell you?” Sue couldn't help but worry when she noticed the change in Yvonne's expression.
Yvonne pouted aggrievedly, "He told me not to bully Jacqueline.”
"Bully Jacqueline?" Sue was stupefied. "Madam, did you do that?”
"Of course not! Why would I bully her?! She’s the one who bullied me!"
"Then why did sir say that?"
"Jacqueline called Henry and told him that she sent her caregiver here to express her gratitude, only to be insulted as an ingrate by me. That's why Henry warned me not to bully her again.” Yvonne tossed her phone aside, feeling extremely vexed.
Sue was stunned, then angrily slapped the table again. "What a shameless wrench! When did she ever thank you!”
"That's not important.” Yvonne wiped her face, "More importantly, she's deliberately twisting the story.
Henry believed her and didn’t even give me a chance t o explain myself."
"Sheesh, how could sir do that!" Sue sighed in dissatisfaction.
"Forget it, I understand. After all, he holds Jacqueline very dearly in his heart. Given their past relationship, it's only normal for him to believe her." The corners of Yvonne's mouth tugged bitterly. “Sue, get me a wheelchair."
"What are you thinking of doing, madam?"
"Meet Jacqueline Conrad!"
"No way!" Sue scowled and disagreed. "You can't go there in your current state!"
"But Jacqueline did that because she wants me to go and see her. Besides, I want to find out just what she’s trying to do too!" Yvonne insisted.
Sue wouldn't agree no matter what she said.
Yvonne wasn’t willing to back down either.
The two were in a stalemate.
"What are you two doing?" Shane's puzzled voice came from the door.
Sue looked at him as though he was her savior and hurriedly dragged him over. "Dr. Summers, madam is insisting on going out of the ward in a wheelchair.
Please say something to her."
"Going out?" Shane frowned, then looked at the woman on the hospital bed. "Sis-in-law, where do you want to go?" "To see Jacqueline," Yvonne told him honestly.
"For what?" Shane approached her bed and checked o n the IV level. "Don't even think about seeing her before your drip is finished."
"She's the one who wants to see me," Yvonne rubbed her temples.
Shane abruptly stopped flicking the IV tube when he heard her. "What's going on?"
Yvonne shook her head gently, "I've no idea either. She said she has something to say to me."
"Then I'll advise you not to go." Shane loosened the tube and gathered it in his arms. "That woman isn't as simple as you think. She said she has something to tell you, but she’s probably setting a trap for you."
Yvonne looked at him incredulously, "You..."
"What is it?" Shane raised his eyebrow with interest.
Yvonne scratched her head awkwardly. "Nevermind. I just find it a little hard to believe that you would talk about Jacqueline that way. Aren't you friends?"
Henry was his good friend.
And Jacqueline was Henry’s ex-girlfriend.
By right, the three of them should be very close to each other. However, his tone was unfriendly and even carried a trace of disgust in it when he talked about Jacqueline earlier.
"Who’s her friend? I’m only taking a little extra care of her for Henry's sake. My impression of her is nowhere as good as yours," Shane drummed his fingers on his arm lightly as he remarked casually.
The corners of Yvonne's eyes twitched. "Thank you for your approval... I guess?”
"Of course." Shane waved it off then chuckled, "Do you know why I dislike Jacqueline?"
Yvonne shook her head, "Why?"
"Hehe, not telling you!"
Yvonne looked at him blankly.
Was he teasing her?
"Fine, fine. 1’11 stop teasing you." Shane pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and turned serious." Just listen to me and don't meet her. She's usually scheming someone when she says that she has something to talk about. You're not even acquainted with her, so what's there to talk about? The only common topic you two share is Henry."
"You seem to know her really well."
Shane's eyes turned frosty. "She’s schemed me before, so of course I know her well. If I’m not mistaken, she probably wants to tell you to take the initiative to divorce Henry or something along that line."
That woman was terrifyingly possessive.
When she was dating Henry back then, she told Henry's friends to stay away from him too.
"She found out about my relationship with Henry?"
Yvonne was surprised.
"Well, she fainted and ended up in the operating room because of you two. Did you think she wouldn’t get to the bottom of it?" Shane looked at her in amusement.
Yvonne fell silent for a few seconds before asking puzzledly, "Since you know what kind of person Jacqueline is, why didn’t you tell Henry about her true colors?"
"Who said I didn't? But I can't do anything if he doesn't believe me. He's looking at Jacqueline through a filter this thick!” Shane gestured at the thickness.
Yvonne estimated that it was about seven or eight centimeters and laughed in amusement.
When she finished laughing, bitterness welled up in her heart.
The thick filter showed just how much Henry loved Jacqueline in his heart.
Given his shrewdness, there was no way he would fail to see what kind of person Jacqueline was. Most often, the one you failed to see through was the person you loved the deepest.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm here to inform you that I'll be conducting a postoperative assessment on you later. You should get prepared," Shane got straight to business.
"Got it," Yvonne responded to his instruction and kept her emotions in check.
Shane then went out and Sue came back inside." Madam, are you still going to meet Jacqueline?”
"I changed my mind,” Yvonne waved her hand weakly.
Shane had told her that Jacqueline might talk her into divorcing Henry.
So why would she still go and find trouble for herself? "You've made the right choice," Sue smiled gladly. " Madam, let me help you change into the patient gown." "Alright, thank you." Yvonne lifted the blanket with one hand.
After changing her clothes, two nurses came and pushed her into various departments for a full- body examination.
By the time everything was over, three hours had passed. Yvonne was so exhausted that she nearly blacked out.
However, as soon as she saw the figure standing in front of the window when she returned to her ward, her drowsiness was instantly dispelled.
"Henry?" Yvonne called out to the figure softly.
Henry turned around. "Where have you been?"
"Postoperative assessment," Yvonne pointed to the wheelchair she was sitting on.
After her postoperative assessment, Shane concluded that she was recovering well and could sit up now
instead of lying down all the time.
Hence, Sue specially went to request a wheelchair for her.
Henry took a glance at Yvonne's wheelchair and asked, "What’s the result of the postoperative assessment?"
"Not bad, I'll probably be discharged in a few days,” Yvonne smiled.
Henry hummed in response and said, "That’s good."
He was relieved to see that she was doing fine.
Although he didn’t love Yvonne, he didn't wish to see her suffer from some long-term side effects because of this either.
Sue, who was standing behind Yvonne, suddenly asked, "By the way, when did you arrive here, sir?"
Henry parted his thin lips and replied flatly, "A while ago.
Yvonne was slightly surprised, "So you've been waiting here?"
"No.” He lowered his gaze, "I just came back from Jackie's ward."
The expression on Yvonne's small face froze a little as the light in her eyes dimmed, "I see..."
Of course. His main purpose for coming to the hospital was none other than visiting Jacqueline.
What was she so excited for when she was only an afterthought?
"Sir!" Sue stepped forward from behind Yvonne with a stern face and a very harsh voice. She was obviously angry.
"Sue?!" Yvonne looked at her in surprise.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
