CHAPTER 460 BE SHANNON FOREVER
Yvonne was emotionally unstable. "I don't know..."
She really didn't know what to do!
She was feeling very conflicted. Her appearance made her feel so inferior to the point that she dare not see her own husband, or even let her husband know that she was still alive, and this ultimately caused her to lose her identity. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Sam also felt helpless. "I know that your biggest worry is your injury. If you can recover completely, will you g o back to Mr. Lancaster?" he asked.
Yvonne took a deep breath. "Of course, he's the father o f my child so of course I'll go back to him when I've recovered completely. I also want to seek revenge!" 1
"If that's the case, go abroad with me. The chances of recovery will be much higher. If you stay in the country, you won't have the courage to appear in front of Mr. Lancaster for the rest of your life." Sam looked a t her seriously.
Yvonne's eyes were still wrapped in bandages, but she could feel his gaze and she agreed with what he said.
In this marriage and relationship with Henry, she had always felt inferior because of her family background and her ability, but she hid it well and rarely showed i t.
Because of her injury this time, she had completely let her inferiority loose.
She never felt good enough to begin with, because she did not have any support from her family or have many capabilities. Now she had lost her only asset, which was her beauty, so she had nothing left now. Even if Henry didn't mind, she still couldn’t accept herself to be like that.
And most importantly, an elite family like the Lancasters didn't need a disfigured woman to be the lady of the house. They might even be ridiculed in their community for that and become the subject of gossip for the public. She didn't want things to go that way, because she didn't want to lose her dignity from getting ridiculed and talked about.
Therefore, she must heal her face and return to Henry at her best! 1
As Yvonne thought about this, she was no longer confused and she knew it in her heart.
She settled her mind and slowly replied, "Okay, I'll go abroad with you!"
Sam was a little surprised. "Are you really sure?"
"Yes, you said that it's possible to heal my face if we g o abroad, so I must seize the opportunity!" Yvonne nodded without hesitation.
Sam smiled, "Well, since you're willing to do that, then I'll take you with me. But this trip will definitely take a long time before we can come back. Are you okay with that?"
Yvonne bit her lower lip. "I'm okay with that."
The moment she decided to go abroad, she was mentally prepared not to return home for a long time.
"Okay, then we shall leave tomorrow." Sam gave her a date.
Yvonne nodded, but she hesitated.
Sam saw her hesitation and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Yvonne took a deep breath as she said, "I want to see Henry before we leave."
"What?" Sam was stunned. "You want to see him?"
"Well, I want to see him secretly. It’s best if he doesn't find out," Yvonne said and she asked cautiously, "Can we?"
Sam thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'll make the arrangement."
"Thank you." Yvonne twitched the corner of her mouth, forcing a smile.
However, her entire face was wrapped in bandages, and her smile couldn't be seen.
Sam suddenly fell silent and it seemed like he was hesitating.
Yvonne noticed it and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Yvonne," Sam called out.
Yvonne moved her lips. "I'm here."
"My grandma has been mentioning you for the past two days and wanted to do a video call with you, but I turned them down," Sam said.
Yvonne realized something but she was not sure." And then?"
"Grandma misses Shan very much," Sam said again.
Yvonne understood that he was talking about his sister, Shannon.
Yvonne held her breath. "What do you want me to do?
"It's simple. I saved you and I'll take you abroad with m e, but I never wanted you to do anything in return. However, I still hope you can do me a favor." Sam looked at her seriously.
Yvonne chuckled and smiled again, "Yes, you saved m e twice and helped me countless times, and now you're even taking me abroad for treatment. I can never repay you enough for all that you've done so I'll help you as much as I can. So tell me, is it about continuing to pretend that I'm Shannon to make Grandma happy?"
Sam smiled appreciatively because she guessed it so quickly. "Yes, that is indeed the favor. However, it's not going to be temporary, but for a lifetime. I want you to become the real Shannon!"
"What?" The curvature of Yvonne's lips froze and she was really shocked. "You want me to be the real Shannon?"
"Yes! Grandma has many grandchildren, but she likes Shan the most because Shan resembled her when she was young. Since Shan's death, Grandma has been struggling to recognize people, and now she’s running out of time. She only has a few years left and I want m y grandma to have Shan's company for the time she has left," Sam explained.
Yvonne panicked. "I understand what you mean, and I'm also willing to be with Grandma as Shannon, but it's too ridiculous for me to do it for the rest of her life. Can't I just do that for a few years? I can be with Grandma until she passes away."
Sam shook his head. "On top of that, I also need you to be Shan because of my mother. My mother misses Shan very much too. Although she’s never said anything, and she doesn't show it either. She would often cry while looking at Shan's photos in the dead of the night."
"This..." Yvonne was still a little uneasy. "Grandma can accept me because she doesn't know that Shannon is gone, but your mother does. How can she accept some other woman taking over her daughter's place?"
"Don't worry, my mother will accept you. In fact, after Shan died, my father planned to adopt a daughter in order to make my mother feel better, but she would always say that those girls didn't
look like Shan, so they didn’t end up adopting. Last time, I showed your picture to my mother." When Sam said this, his gaze became soft.
When Yvonne heard him pause, her heart was intrigued. "What happened after she saw it?"
"My mother cried. She said that if Shan had grown up, she would look like you. She even wanted to see you, but I rejected her by saying that you don’t have time. S o do you have any other concerns now?" Sam asked her.
Yvonne bit her lip and said nothing. She was tempted t o agree.
When Sam noticed that, he added, "You’re alone now. A s long as you become Shan, the Smith family will always have your back. You're the daughter of the Smith family. You have a grandma who will love you, parents who will cherish you, and a brother who will protect you."
Parents, brother...
Listening to those words that represented a family, Yvonne's eyes were immediately teary, and her heart was deeply moved.
From a very young age, she longed for the care of her parents and protection from siblings.
But nothing happened. After her brother changed, she learned to protect herself and learned to deal with her pain alone.
After she found out that she was not the daughter of the Frey family, she was eager to find her own biological parents. She wondered if her biological parents would like her and give her true parental love. However, the ending was ridiculous because her mother died and her father simply didn't want to see her.
Now that she would possibly be part of this man's family, where he could be her brother and let his parents be hers, she was deeply moved by the kind of acceptance she was given.
"Can I really have all that?" Yvonne asked with a trembling voice.
