CHAPTER 651 JACQUELINE'S CONTINGENCY

Henry still did not speak, but his clenched fists and forbearing expression already explained everything.

She was indeed infected with the virus.

Yvonne was a little dizzy and she shouted loudly, "You need to get out. Get out right now. Don’t stay here, I'll infect you."

Henry was indifferent. "No, I'm wearing protective clothing."

"So what? Protective clothing doesn’t completely protect you from the virus, so get out." Yvonne looked a t him.

No matter what, she did not want him to be infected.

However, instead of leaving, Henry held her hand. " You should calm down first."

"How can I calm down? I'm infected with the virus and it’s contagious," Yvonne shouted.

Henry held her in his arms. "I know it's contagious, but I'm not afraid."

"You..." Yvonne was startled by him.

Henry knew that she was infected with the virus, but not only did he not leave, he also chose to be in close contact with her. He...

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Yvonne grabbed his

protective suit and asked in a trembling voice.

Henry chuckled, "Everyone is afraid of death, but I want to be with you even more."

"You're insane. You really are insane!" Yvonne hit his back vigorously.

She did not show any mercy as she really was hitting him with all her strength.

Henry was in pain after getting hit and he clenched his teeth, but he did not make a sound and let her vent.

After a while, she seemed to be done venting and she pushed him away, "Just stand there. Stay a few feet away from me and don't come any closer!" Yvonne pointed at Henry and said in a cold voice.

Henry knew that she was just acting cold now because she did not want him to get close and possibly get infected. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Henry didn’t want to make her angry, so he stood still.

When Yvonne saw him do as she said, she felt a little better, but she was still very down. "I heard from Shane that this virus has an incubation period and will only appear after a few days. In other words, I was infected a few days ago, but I've been in contact with you guys in the past few days. Have any of you been infected by me?"

She asked anxiously! 1

Henry shook his head. "No."

"Really?" Yvonne was a little unconvinced.

Henry said, "Really. I've sent everyone that you've been in contact with to the hospital for examination. They didn't find any traces of the viral agent in them, but they’re still quarantined at the moment."

Yvonne was relieved after she heard that. "That’s good, that’s good. Is Theo okay?"

She was mostly worried about Theo.

If Theo was infected by her, she would absolutely hate herself to death.

"He’s okay. Theo has been with Hayden these days and he didn't have much contact with you. He's fine!" Henry replied.

Yvonne cried with joy, "I’m so thankful for Elliot. He saved me again."

Saving Theo was the same as saving her.

Henry agreed with her.

If Theo really was infected, she definitely would not survive.

After knowing that Theo and the others were fine, Yvonne was truly relieved. Even if she was infected with the virus, she seemed to be in a much better headspace.

But Henry could not seem to let go. He asked in a deep voice, "How did you get the virus? Besides us, who else have you seen recently?"

Yvonne knew that Henry wanted to know the source o f the virus. After thinking about it, she shook her head. "I've only seen you recently. I haven't seen anyone else, except..."

"Except who?" Henry narrowed his eyes.

Yvonne bit her lip and uttered two words: "Jacqueline Conrad!"

Henry's eyes flashed sharply. "Jacqueline?"

"Yes. She was the only other person I saw. Since the trial, I've only seen her," she repeated.

Henry pursed his lips. "She was from that organization. Maybe she had the virus in her body."

"Now that you’ve mentioned it, I suddenly remembered something." Yvonne's figure trembled slightly.

Henry looked at her. "What did you remember?"

Yvonne clenched her fists, "When we went to see Jacqueline for the last time, I met Jacqueline alone. The place where we met wasn't an isolation room, but an ordinary meeting space where we could easily be i n contact with each other. At that time, Jacqueline said to me that since she can't live, I can't either. Obviously, I thought she must have plotted some contingency..."

"I know, I've been investigating." Henry nodded. 1

Yvonne smiled bitterly. "But we were all wrong.

Jacqueline did arrange a contingency, but it wasn't arranged elsewhere-it was Jacqueline herself. She must have known that she was infected with the virus, so that was why she chose to meet me like that. She wanted to infect me with the virus. That was her contingency." 1

Henry finally understood when he heard what Yvonne said. He hit the headboard of the bed with his fist.

Yvonne looked at his hand.

He used too much force and the skin on his knuckles was torn. Blood was oozing out.

Yvonne quickly pressed the emergency button on the bedside.

Henry snapped out of his daze. "What are you doing?"

"You're bleeding. Even if you are wearing gloves, you'll still get infected easily so you must get it bandaged immediately," Yvonne said solemnly.

At this moment, the door of the ward opened and Shane entered in protective clothing as well "What’s wrong?"

"Shane, take him out. His hands are bleeding," Yvonne pointed to Henry and said to Shane hurriedly.

When Shane heard this, his expression changed. Without a word, he pulled Henry and walked towards the door.

When they got outside, Shane let go of Henry and looked at him angrily, "Henry, do you know what you’re doing? Viruses don’t just enter the body through breathing. It can also spread through the air and the viral agents might stick to your wound, so you'll get infected too."

"I know who infected Yvonne," Henry said while ignoring what Shane just told him.

Shane was stunned, but he quickly calmed down," Who was it?"

"Jacqueline," Henry said as he gritted his teeth.

Shane looked serious. "How could it be her?"

Henry told him what Yvonne had just said.

After Shane heard it, he was angry and helpless. "You guys are too careless. Why didn't you think of it earlier?"

"No one knew that Jacqueline was also infected with the virus. Before Jacqueline met Yvonne, she'd been quarantined for a period of time. She didn't have any reactions, so the police station

thought that she wasn't infected." Henry rubbed his temples, holding back his anger.

Shane pursed his lips. "It seems like Jacqueline's organs can't be used either until we find a vaccine."

"When will the vaccine be out?" Henry asked with his fists clenched.

That was what he cared most about.

Shane was a little afraid to look at him. "There has

been some new progress, but it’ll still take a while."

"Take a while? We'll have to wait again. I can certainly wait, but can Yvonne wait?" Henry pointed to the ward behind him.

Shane sighed, "Then tell me, what else can I do? I’m just a doctor, I’m not God! Yvonne was infected with the virus, and none of us expected it. What use is it for you to blame me? Don't you think I want to save her too?"

Henry's thin lips moved, and suddenly he could not speak.

Shane took off his glasses and wiped them. "Enough. Let's calm down for the time being. There’s no point getting anxious. The most important thing now is to g o to the disinfection room and do a whole-body disinfection."

Henry had no objections so he walked behind Shane t o the disinfection room.

When they came out of the room, Yvonne's assistant, Lisa, just rushed to the hospital.

She stopped Henry and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lancaster, what happened to our director?"
