CHAPTER 403 IN A VEGETATIVE STATE

Yvonne nodded affirmatively. "Really!"

Henry had no choice but to believe what she said since she insisted. He didn't force her and walked to the chair she was sitting on and sat down. He looked u p at the red light on the door of the emergency room and asked with a serious expression, "What happened exactly?"

Yvonne lowered her head and explained the incident.

After listening, Henry punched the chair he was sitting on. "Damn it!"

This was definitely planned!

The driver was obviously aiming for Yvonne.

As for why Elliot was the one who was injured, he could have guessed the reason.

With Elliot’s presence along with the injured driver, it was unlikely that Yvonne could be killed. Therefore, the driver thought it was better to kill one of them than to let go of both of them. He then shot Elliot who was nearest to him.

Yvonne, who had calmed down, thought of this as well. She was very guilty that she couldn't look at Henry when she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Elliot was trying to save me. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn’t be shot. It's all my fault..." Yvonne

apologized and covered her crying face. 1

Henry looked at her and his lips moved a few times. H e wanted to say something, but he went silent in the end. 1

Did he blame her?

Maybe he did. After all, the younger brother he had finally found was lying in the emergency room just to save her. It was impossible that he wasn't angry and not complaining. 4

But at the same time, he knew that she was innocent too since the murder was planned by the Taylor family or Conrad family. She was targeted by them because of the Lancaster family.

Thinking of this, Henry closed his eyes tightly and suppressed the emotions in his heart. Then, he said quietly, “Okay, you should stop crying. Let's wait quietly for Hayden’s operation."

"Yeah..." Yvonne lowered her head and faintly responded. Then, she stood aside and didn’t speak at all.

After that, both of them remained silent and waited for the light on the door of the emergency room to go off.

But after waiting for a long time, the light was still on. Henry couldn't help but begin to feel annoyed, and his eyebrows were squeezed tightly with worry.

Everyone knew that the longer the light was on, the more critical the patient was.

"How long has Hayden been in there?” Henry asked while looking at his watch.

Yvonne also took a look at the watch and replied, "It's been two and a half hours..."

It had been so long!

Henry clenched his fists.

Suddenly, there were footsteps behind them.

Henry and Yvonne turned their heads at the same time and saw three police officers walking towards them.

The old police officer who stood in front looked at Yvonne and asked, "Miss Frey?"

Yvonne nodded. "Yes, that’s me."

"Hello. You reported a car accident..."

"Did you guys manage to find out anything?" Yvonne interrupted him impatiently.

The old police officer didn't mind and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Miss Frey. The time is too short and there’s nothing that can be found for the time being, but after checking the surveillance, we can be sure that the driver was aiming for you."

"I know about this." Yvonne nodded. "But what I want t o know is, have you found the person behind this incident?"

She wanted to find out whether the driver was sent by Shaw Taylor, Dominic Conrad, or Jacqueline.

However, the police officer sighed regretfully, "Miss Frey, we understand how you're feeling, but there are very few clues right now. We're unable to find the person behind it for the time being. That's why we're here to ask you for more clues. Can you come with us? We want to take you to the police station for further investigation.”

"I see...” Yvonne lowered her eyelids in disappointment. "Sure, I'll go with you, but before that, can you tell me how the driver is now?”

The driver was sent to another emergency room. She had been waiting for Elliot all this while, so she didn't know the driver's condition.

"The driver... he's dead," the police officer replied.

Yvonne was shocked, and even Henry raised his eyebrows.

"Dead?"

"Yes, the driver's internal organs were ruptured. He died during the rescue," the police officer explained.

Yvonne felt very happy when she heard this.

"Henry, I’ll be going to the police station with them. I'll leave the situation here to you."

Henry said, "Go ahead. I'll let Joe go to the police station to accompany you later."

"Okay..." Yvonne nodded and left with the police officers.

Joe arrived at the police station quickly, almost the same time as Yvonne.

With Joe's companionship, Yvonne didn't feel as anxious and tense as compared to being alone. Hence, the investigation went smoothly although it took some time.

It was afternoon when she returned to the hospital.

When she got out of the car, she hurried towards the hospital's entrance, and even Joe couldn't hold her back. He only managed to stop her at the elevator. " Madam, don't run too fast," Joe said breathlessly.

Yvonne endured the pain in her lower abdomen, panting, and answered, "I want to go to the emergency room to see the current situation."

Joe rubbed his forehead and said, "You should go to ICU instead. The second master’s operation is over.

He's now in the ICU."

Yvonne was shocked. She grabbed his shoulders and asked eagerly, "What are you talking about? When did Elliot's operation end?"

"Two hours ago." Joe was dizzy from her shaking.

Yvonne blinked her eyes. "Henry told you?"

Joe nodded. "Yes." "Really..." Yvonne let go of him, feeling a little gloomy. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Henry called and informed Joe, but he didn't call to tell her, which made her overthink.

He must have hated her, so he didn’t call her.

Thinking about it, Yvonne was a little upset and her stomach hurt even more. She took a deep breath and grabbed the clothes on her stomach, trying to ignore the pain. She then asked with a pale face, "Which ICU? Show me the way!"

"Okay." Joe nodded, then pressed the number of the floor.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the ICU.

Yvonne saw Henry standing outside, looking at the person lying in the ICU through the glass. His expression looked stern, as he was trying to suppress his anger. His surroundings were depressing.

"Henry...” Yvonne called him softly and walked over.

Henry turned to look at her. "You’re back.”

"Yeah." Yvonne nodded and followed his retracted gaze, looking into the ICU.

Elliot was lying on the bed with a ventilator. His face was pale without any warmth and it was scary to look at.

Yvonne felt extremely guilty looking at Elliot in this situation. She slowly clenched her hands on the glass and asked with her dry throat, "How is he?"

Henry pursed his lips tightly and replied, "Shane said that the bullet nearly hit his heart." "Nearly? Does that mean that he'll be fine since the bullet didn’t hit his heart?" Yvonne's eyes flashed with hope.

Henry's eyelids dropped and he became silent suddenly.

Seeing him in this way, Yvonne suddenly understood. The hope in her eyes gradually disappeared.

"Henry, is there any problem?" she asked.

Henry hammered the glass in front of him and his eyes were scarlet. "Hayden's life has indeed been saved, but the bullet hurt a nerve that’s connected to the brain. Shane said that Hayden may never wake up again."

"Never wake up again?" Yvonne’s body trembled and her pupils dilated. "You're saying that he's in a vegetative state?”
