Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476 Conrad’s Spectacular Acting Skills

“Are you crazy, Yvonne? You’re not even in contact with that b*stard anymore. So, what does he have to do with you even if he’s dead?” Yvonne was talking to herself aloud.

She eventually placed her phone down and closed her eyes as she had her facial mask on. But after that little facial session, she still felt anxious. So, she couldn’t help but call the number again. Beep beep…

The phone rang a few times before the other party answered. Yvonne immediately asked, “Hello, was it you who called me just now?”

“Oh, it was my colleague who called. May I ask if you are the family of the phone owner? Please come to the hospital to pay the hospital fees.” “Hospital?”

“Yes. The patient fainted on the road and was taken to the hospital. The situation is bleak and needs further examination. But you’d better come over and pay the medical…”

“Doctor, the patient’s situation is very unpromising. Look, here are the test results. There are signs of cancer cells spreading.” “Cancer cells? Let me see.”

Yvonne was conversing with the doctor when another woman’s voice rang out on the phone. When she heard the other party say ‘cancer cells spreading’, her heart pounded in fear. How can this be?

“Hello, are you his family? Please hurry up and come to the hospital. The patient’s condition is in dire straits,” the doctor continued to say to Yvonne. Yvonne was frozen in place before she replied, “Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

Then, she hung up the phone and went to wash her face before quickly changing her clothes. She didn’t hesitate as she drove straight to the hospital.

It took half an hour to reach there, and Yvonne’s mind kept recalling the doctor’s words. As the doctor’s words echoed in her mind, the uneasiness within her swelled with each passing second.

The moment she arrived at the hospital, she inquired about the situation at the front desk and went to the ER. However, when she had just run to the corridor, she heard a commotion originating from the ER.

“Sir, your situation is very severe. Please cooperate with the treatment.”

“Yes, he’s right. You have liver cancer, and it has spread. You won’t have much time left if you don’t get treated in time.” “I know you must be worried about money, but is money as important as your body?”

A few medical staff tried to stop Conrad, but he pushed them away. “Let go! I told you, I’m fine. What do you mean I have liver cancer?”

“We did a CT scan on you, and it shows clearly that you do.” The doctor tugged on his arm. “You need to get treatment as soon as possible.”

Suddenly, he pushed the doctor against the wall and held onto the doctor’s neck with his hand. “I repeat, I am not sick. And, if this thing gets out, I’ll drag the hospital’s name to the mud!”

Everyone was stunned, and nobody dared to make a sound after hearing that threat.

Only then did he let go of the doctor’s neck. He let out a derisive snort as he walked in the direction of the elevator.

There, he saw Yvonne, who was standing by the doors of the elevator.

This caught him by surprise as he halted in his steps momentarily. Regardless, he continued walking toward her with furrowed brows.

Yvonne had just heard the entire conversation, and it was only then that she discovered that he was ill. But…

“Of course, I’ll go. I’ve already promised you that, and I won’t go back on my promise.”

So, the two took a plane the next day and went straight to Castron.

On the other hand, Yvonne tossed and turned. She stayed awake the whole night as her mind was preoccupied with Conrad’s situation.

The check sitting on her bedside table kept reminding her of the man.

Finally, she couldn’t resist it anymore as she phoned Conrad.

Beep, beep…

Someone picked up the phone.

After the call was connected, Yvonne did not wait for the other party to speak.

Both of them knew who each other was, but Conrad didn’t have the intention of talking first.

“W-What are you doing right now?” Yvonne finally stammered out a question after swallowing the other questions she had for him in her heart.

“Working.”

Conrad’s attitude was slightly cold. “Is there something you need?”

“I… I…” Yvonne didn’t know what to say. Finally, she glanced back at the check on the bedside table and asked, “I just wanted to ask, why did you give me the check?”

“Didn’t Veronica explain? That check isn’t for you. It’s for the child.”

He sounded indifferent, which made her feel as though there was a wall between them.

She was utterly unused to his cold reception, so she couldn’t help but feel that there was something very wrong with the way he was acting.

Could it be… that there is something he couldn’t tell me?

“I can raise the child myself. Where are you? I’ll return the check to you.”

“There’s no need,” he didn’t leave room for discussion as he refused.

But Yvonne was stubborn. “I don’t want your things.”

“… I’m at the company.”

“Okay. Then, I’ll be seeing you.”

Yvonne took the check and drove to Conrad’s company.

Humans were innately curious creatures. Therefore, she was no different from everyone else. If anything, she was even more curious and worried since she was still deeply in love with Conrad and the mother of his child.

Now that she had learned that he had cancer, she felt very uncomfortable.
