Seize His Little Wife

Christine White clenched her fists, “I have to ask, where were you today?”

If he went to see Molly Bort in the hospital today, maybe what he had to say had something to do with Molly Bort.

And having something to do with Molly Bort, she could conjure up two possibilities, either the bone marrow or the fact that he was divorcing her for Molly Bort.

Both, would explain why Ives Norton told her not to say yes to Baird Lane’s claim.

“Where am I going, you ask?” Baird Lane froze for a moment, feeling a little strange.

This woman, doesn’t she never ask where he’s going?

Why are you making an exception today?

“Well, can you tell me?” Christine White looked Baird Lane in the eye.

Baird Lane naturally couldn’t say he was flustered when faced with those clear eyes of hers, “Off to the hospital.”

Christine White’s mind instantly buzzed, “Hospital? What are you going to the hospital for? To see a back injury or Miss Molly Bort?”

She asked several times in a row, causing Baird Lane’s brow to furrow, “Christine White, what are you asking for?”

“Never you mind what I want, Baird, you answer me, did you go to see Miss Molly Bort?” Christine White asked emotionally as she dropped his coat and grabbed him by the arm.

Baird Lane pursed his thin lips, “I was visiting Molly.”

“Sure enough …” Christine White swayed, her small face pale.

Baird Lane narrowed his eyes, “Surely what?”

Christine White gave him a smile that was worse than tears, “Baird, you’re divorcing me aren’t you?”

Molly Bort has already had her surgery, and there’s no way she’s going to want her bone marrow.

So she could only think in terms of divorce.

Baird Lane heard this and just thought it was ridiculous, “Divorce? Who told you I want a divorce?”

Christine White’s eyes reddened, “No one told me, it was my own guess, but the way you covered up tonight, and what Dr. Norton told me, made me think that way!”

“What did Ives Norton tell you?” Baird Lane’s face paled and his voice went cold.

Christine White was taken aback and looked miserable with tears hanging in her eyes to fall, “He didn’t say anything.”

“Tell the truth!” Baird Lane yelled down.

Christine White shivered a little, and dared not conceal it, “He then asked me if you had said anything to me to-day, and told me never to promise you anything after that.”

“That’s all that was said?” Baird Lane narrowed his eyes.

Christine White nodded repeatedly, “That’s all, if you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

“No need.” Baird Lane looked slightly better, apparently choosing to take her at her word.

Looks like Ives Norton didn’t tell her about Molly needing a second surgery.

The Ives Norton comment, though, really angered him a bit!

Did Ives Norton just assume that he was going to get Christine White to donate her bone marrow a second time?

Baird Lane clenched both fists, “And how did you get that divorce you were talking about?”

Christine White raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, “Since Dr. Norton told me not to promise what you said after that and you went to the hospital during the day to see Ms. Molly Bort, I assumed that you were trying to get back together with Ms. Molly Bort, and since you were going to get back together, naturally, you would have to get divorced … ”

Baird Lane laughed at her words, “Christine White, am I that untrustworthy?”

Christine White lowered her head, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that …”

“Just what?”

Christine White shook her head, “I just don’t have the confidence.”

Baird Lane looked at her deeply for a moment and sighed suddenly, “I’m not getting a divorce, and since I said there would be nothing more with Molly, I’ll keep my word.”

“Really?” Christine White huffed.

Baird Lane walks towards the couch in front of him, “Believe it or not.”

“I believe it!” Christine White rushed back, then bit her lip uneasily, “But if you have no intention of getting back together with Miss Molly Bort, then why did Dr. Norton tell me that kind of thing? What are you keeping from me, Baird, and is there something else you need from me?”

Baird Lane was about to pour his drink when he heard her remark and his hand jerked the glass tighter.

He had to say that she had guessed right, he did still want bone marrow from her, after all Molly needed a second operation, but he couldn’t say something like that.

In fact, after Molly’s first successful surgery, he asked Gates to keep looking for another bone marrow resource, but it’s been almost two months, and there’s still no news at all, and now that Molly’s second surgery is imminent, he’s forced to take her attention again.

But when he was ready to tell her about it, he looked at her clear and bright eyes, he couldn’t bear to do it, and there was an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.

At that thought, Baird Lane tilted his head back and drained his glass in one gulp.

Christine White, seeing how hard he was drinking and worrying that he was choking, rushed over and tried to pat him on the back, but he avoided it.

“Christine White, you’re right, I do want one thing from you.” Perhaps it was because he had been drinking, the corners of Baird Lane’s eyes were a little red, giving his otherwise cool and ascetic face an extra touch of seduction.

This seduction made Christine White couldn’t help but look dumbfounded, and while looking dumbfounded, she also had a vague feeling of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before?

Where is it?

Christine White thought about it for a moment, nothing came to mind, so she just stopped thinking about it and walked over to him and sat down, “So, what are you getting at?”

Since it’s not about divorce, is it really about bone marrow?

She couldn’t think of anything else but that.

Since he’d gotten so weird after he’d gone to see Molly Bort, and since Ives Norton had made a point of calling to warn her, she could only think in that direction.

“Never mind, I’ll tell you when I’ve thought about it.” Baird Lane finished and got up to go to the bathroom.

Molly’s surgery can be postponed for another week, a week in which he will increase his efforts to find the right bone marrow.

If you really can’t find …noveldrama

Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed into a straight line.

No, he’ll find it!

Hearing the bathroom slam vigorously shut, Christine White’s heart fluttered, “Sure enough …”

He still wouldn’t tell her.

Looks like she’ll just have to find out for herself.

Tomorrow it just so happens that she’s going to the hospital for a maternity checkup and stopping by to check on Molly Bort again, if Molly Bort is having health problems again then surely it’s time to ask for her bone marrow, if not then of course that’s a good thing.

At the thought, Christine White sighed and lifted the covers to lie down on the bed.

By the time Baird Lane got out of the shower, she was asleep.

Baird Lane stood beside the bed, his head bowed and his eyes complex, watching her for I don’t know how long before he turned off the light and lay down on it.

That night, he stayed up almost all night.

He woke up the next day and went out early again.

Christine White didn’t get a chance to take a leave of absence from him when she tried, and when she called him, he didn’t answer.

She had no choice but to call Gates over and ask him to take her leave.

As soon as Gates heard she wasn’t feeling well, he immediately agreed.

Later, Christine White contacted Debby York again, “Debby , I’m heading out the door, where are you?”

“I’ve already taken my leave, so why don’t you go ahead and I’ll meet you at the hospital directly.” Debby York said.

Christine White audibly heard another noisy car horn on her side and figured she would already be in the car.

“Okay, I’ll see you in a bit then.” Christine White hung up the phone, said goodbye to Aunt Lucy and headed out the door.

By the time she got to the hospital, Debby York had been waiting for her for a while.

“What took you so long?” Debby York stepped forward and took her arm.

Christine White wiped the sweat from her forehead, “There’s a traffic jam on the road, let’s go, we haven’t registered yet.”

“Uh-huh.” Debby York nodded.

The two went to the OB/GYN window and registered, and when they were done, they went to the OB/GYN.

When she reached the door of the section, Christine White suddenly saw a man and hurriedly pulled Debby York behind a pillar.

“Christine what are you doing?” Debby York asked in disbelief.
