CHAPTER 428 RESCUED

Sam stared at Yvonne's pale face for a while. Then, he closed the door and said, "Let’s go now."

"Okay!" the assistant responded and told the driver to leave.

A few hours later, Yvonne woke up with a splitting headache. She opened her eyes and found herself in a strange room.

She coughed a few times and her voice was hoarse as i f she had swallowed wood. "Where am I?"

"Are you awake?" There was a gentle male voice beside her.

Someone was here?

Yvonne turned her head abruptly and saw Sam standing by the bed. The vigilance in her eyes gradually disappeared and her heart fell back to place. "It's you..."

She thought it was another bad guy.

He didn’t blame her for thinking so since she was really afraid of being kidnapped.

"It's me." Sam poured her a cup of warm water. "Would you like some water?" he asked gently.

Yvonne nodded and she tried to sit up.

But as soon as she sat up a little, her body fell back on the bed again because her arms were too weak. She felt dizzy and nauseous.

When Sam saw her face turn white and that she wanted to vomit, he quickly put down the glass of water and pulled the trash can over. Then, he helped her up and let her vomit on the bed.

But after a long time, Yvonne didn't vomit anything. There were only a few mouthfuls of water.

"Are you feeling better?" Sam asked while patting her back gently after seeing that Yvonne's movement became slower.

Yvonne leaned in his arms. She was gasping for breath as if she would faint at any time. She was so weak that it was distressful to look at.

"I’m feeling better. Thank you, Mr. Smith." After a short rest, Yvonne released herself from Sam’s arms and replied weakly.

Sam picked up the glass of water. "Drink some water and gargle it."

"Alright." Yvonne nodded her head, took the glass with her hands, and took a small sip.

The warm water not only kept her warm, but it also dispelled nausea in her chest. Her pale face looked better now-at least it wasn’t as worrying.

Yvonne was about to put the glass down after drinking it, but Sam took it over. "Let me do it."

Then, he put the glass beside the bed, helped her to lie down and said, "Okay, stop moving around. You need t o rest now."

His caring and attentiveness made Yvonne a little embarrassed and she was grateful.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Smith," she thanked him again.

Sam chuckled, "You've thanked me twice."

"Twice isn’t enough. You not only take care of me but most importantly, you saved my life and I don't know how to repay you." Yvonne's eyes were filled with tears.

Sam pulled a tissue and wiped her tears. "Alright, don't cry. You’re pregnant with a child now."

A child?

Yvonne thought of something. She suddenly flustered up and quickly touched her stomach.

When Sam noticed what she was worried about, he said, "Don't worry. The child is fine. Luckily you received the treatment in time, so the child is safe!"

"Really?" Yvonne looked at him nervously.

Sam nodded slightly. "Really!"

"That’s good, that's good..." Yvonne smiled through her tears and loosened up.

Then, she adjusted her mood and asked, "By the way, Mr. Smith, how did you manage to find and save me?" Sam pulled a chair and sat down. "I went to the hospital to say goodbye to you. When I heard that the nurse said you were kidnapped, I sent someone to investigate. It took us a long time to locate you.

Everything was ruined when I rushed over. It was my people that went to take a leak and found you on the rocks on the shore of the lake."

“I see..." Yvonne lowered her eyelids.

Sam looked at her. "But you... how did you pass out on the reef?"

"I jumped into the lake to avoid the fire, but the current was so strong that I couldn't swim at all, so I passed out," Yvonne said.

When Sam heard that, he frowned, "That's really lucky of you. The current washed you to the shore, but it didn't take you away. Otherwise, you would've..."

He didn't go on.

Yvonne said bitterly, "Yes, I'm indeed lucky.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to wait for Henry to rescue me, but I’d be dead in Shaw Taylor's hand. Unfortunately, no matter how lucky I am, I still can’t escape from the vicious mind.”

"What exactly happened?" Sam was very curious about what happened to her and asked, "Why did you stay inside when Mr. Lancaster rushed over to save you, and what happened to the fire? Why did Dr.

Summers say that you might have been killed by the fire?"

All of these details were confusing.

"Dr. Summers?" A flash of surprise flashed across Yvonne’s pale face. "Does Shane know what happened to me?"

"Yes, Shane was there when I rescued you. He was very sad and he said that you might be dead," Sam replied.

Yvonne smiled, "So you didn’t tell him that I'm still alive?"

"No." Sam shook his head.

"I see." Yvonne blinked her eyes, indicating that she understood.

She didn’t ask why didn't Sam tell Shane that she was still alive.

After all, it was her decision. Even though she was the victim, it wasn’t easy for her to intervene.

And he was the one who saved her.

"Now, can you tell me what happened afterward?" Same asked again and brought the topic back. 1

Yvonne closed her eyes and said, "As you know, I was kidnapped by Shaw Taylor to threaten Henry. At last, Henry did come to rescue me, but just when we were about to leave, Henry's men found a bomb and the bomb exploded..."

"Bomb?" Sam's face changed slightly. He didn't expect the situation to be so dangerous.

"And then?” he asked again.

Yvonne opened her eyes. They were filled with hatred, even her voice became cold.

"Then, the explosion caused the fire. Henry was escorted by the bodyguards and got into the front car while Jacqueline and I were in the last car. Since it was at the back, our car was the last to leave. As we were about to leave, Jacqueline pushed me out."

"How can that be?" Sam was so shocked that he couldn't maintain his gentle expression.

Yvonne pinched her fingernails deeply into her palm. " This is the truth. After I was pushed down, the car immediately drove away. There was a fire burning behind me-I had no choice to jump into the lake. Luckily, there’s a lake. Otherwise, I'll really be burned alive.”

"What are you going to do now?" Sam looked at her. "D o you want to contact Mr. Lancaster and tell him that you're here with me?"

The hatred in Yvonne’s eyes disappeared. After thinking for a while, she shook her head gently. "I don't want to tell him for the time being. I want to know if he can figure out the truth that I'm not in the car. If not, I’ll appear in front of him and tell him the truth."

Since Jacqueline dared to push her out of the car so decisively, she must have found a good reason to deceive Henry.

The best reason could be Jason.

She really wanted to know whether Henry would believe Jacqueline's lies. 1

"What if he finds out soon?" Sam said.

Yvonne said with a smile, "That's certainly the best."

This showed that Henry didn't believe in Jacqueline anymore and he had seen through Jacqueline.

"Alright. Since it's your decision, I'll respect you. It just happens that you can't get out of bed these days. You should just rest here." Sam tucked the quilt for her.

Yvonne hummed and agreed obediently, but she looked hesitant the next second.

When Sam saw her expression, he smiled gently, "Do you want to ask about Mr. Lancaster?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
