CHAPTER 655 THE LAST WORDS

Yvonne looked at his back, but she didn't stop him and let him leave.

He had visited her once today. He shouldn't stay any longer.

She was really afraid that he would be infected.

Yvonne asked, "Brother, do our parents know that you're here to visit me?"

Sam shook his head. "I didn't tell them. They'd be worried if I told them."

"That’s good." Yvonne was relieved. "I don't want to tell them either. I’m afraid that they'll know. Brother, you must not tell them."

Sam looked at her. "I won't tell them for the time being, but you won't be able to keep it for long."

Yvonne lowered her head and smiled bitterly. "I know, but let's keep it secret for as long as we can. If you can't keep it any longer in the end, you can tell them after I die, so they'll at least feel better."

Sam’s voice broke. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Although he said so, he couldn’t guarantee that she would be fine.

He researched the virus before he came.

He also knew that Shane and the others were studying the vaccine and he was sure that the vaccine would definitely be produced in the end.

But the question was, could she wait until then?

There was a moment of silence in the ward.

After a while, Sam took the initiative to change the topic. "Where's Theo?”

"He's with the Lancaster family. If you want to see Theo, you can talk to Henry. Besides, Theo can talk now. Although he doesn't speak much, he can say some words clearly.” When talking about her son, Yvonne suddenly became chatty with a faint smile on her pale face.

When Sam looked at her in this state, he felt both distressed and happy at the same time.

He was distressed that her health was getting worse.

And he was happy that she was still energetic. Perhaps sooner or later, she wouldn't be this energetic.

Sam sat down. "Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Lancaster later about seeing Theo. But tell me more about Theo now."

Yvonne nodded. "Sure."

In the next half hour, she told him a lot about Theo.

She finally stopped when the time was up.

Yvonne drove Sam out of the ward, preventing Sam from staying any longer. Sam could only go out to

meet Henry.

When Henry saw him coming out, he didn’t ask what Sam said to Yvonne. Instead, he asked, "How long are you going to stay?”

Sam said, "I'm going to stay for a while. I want to wait for the vaccine to be produced."

Henry nodded. "Okay, do you have a place to stay?"

Sam replied, "I came in a hurry, so I haven't found a place yet. I'm planning to stay in a hotel."

Henry put his hand in the pocket of his trousers. "You can stay at the Lancaster villa. Theo is there and you can visit him too."

Sam smiled. "Okay, I was about to tell you that I want t o see Theo."

Henry turned around and walked to the elevator.

Knowing that he was leading the way, Sam followed without hesitation.

Time flew and a few days passed by instantly.

Yvonne's mental state was getting worse and she couldn't get up at all. Suffering from the virus, she was very weak and she was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few days' time, she had lost around ten kilograms compared to a few days ago, and her cheekbones were prominent.

She had now entered the middle stage from the early stage. In a few days, she would be in the last stage.

Henry was no longer allowed to go into the ward to see her. Even if he wanted to, he could only stand at the door of the ward and look in through the glass on the door.

Otherwise, it would be from the surveillance.

In short, he couldn't enter the ward, let alone touch her.

It wasn't that Henry hadn't fought for it. He fought, but Shane was determined.

In the beginning, Henry was still able to control himself from seeing Yvonne, but as Yvonne's condition worsened, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Yvonne knew clearly that she was going to die soon. She may not last a few more days.

She was still alive because of the drugs.

But as the virus worsened, she might not survive a few more days no matter how much medicine she took.

Yvonne opened her eyes and said to a nurse who came in for disinfection, "Can I have my mobile phone?"

The nurse walked to the side in protective clothing that was thicker than before and handed her the phone.

After thanking her, Yvonne raised her hand vigorously and took the phone.

She was so weak that she almost used up all her strength to take the phone.

She pressed on Facetime and found Henry, then she made a video call to him.

Henry was outside the ward. When he heard his phone ring, he quickly took it out to check.

Seeing that it was a video call from Yvonne, he quickly answered it.

Suddenly, Yvonne appeared in the video with a haggard appearance. Henry was heartbroken.

Yvonne smiled weakly as she saw Henry suppressing his emotions. "Henry, I may not be able to make it."

Henry's eyes turned red. "Don’t be silly. It's not time yet."

"I know, but I feel awful. I really don't know how long I can last. Maybe today, or maybe tomorrow. No one knows," Yvonne said, and her eyes turned red. "Henry, I don't want to die."

Henry squeezed the phone tightly as if he was about t o break it in half. "I know. You won't die!"

Yvonne closed her eyes tiredly. "I've become so strong, but why do I still lose to Jacqueline in the end? I fell into her trap. I don't understand.”

Henry's voice became dry. "We can never understand evil people’s minds."

He regretted his amnesia.

If he didn't lose his memory, maybe he would've dealt with Jacqueline six years ago.

Yvonne's tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and fell on the pillow. "I’m so scared. I'm so scared that I'll be gone. What will happen to Theo?"

She wasn't afraid of death, but she was really afraid that no one would protect Theo if she died.

Although there was the Smith family, the Smith family wasn't her biological family after all. If they did protect Theo...

Could they protect him for a lifetime?

That wasn't going to happen!

Henry gritted his teeth and said again, "Don't be silly. I said you won't die." Content © 2024.

Yvonne laughed at herself, "Do you believe what you said? Shane's vaccine still hasn't made any progress. I n a few days, it'll be the last stage and at that time, I'll die. Henry, I have only one wish now. I hope you can promise me this."

The way she said her last words made Henry angry and sad at the same time.

He gritted his back teeth and said, "I won’t promise you. If you have any wish, you should fulfill it yourself in the future. I don’t care."

Yvonne knew that he was encouraging her not to think too much so she could survive.

But she really couldn't hold on anymore.

"Henry, let’s stop deceiving ourselves, okay? You know very well I can't live anymore, but you don't want to admit it."

"Shut up!"

Yvonne shook her head. "I won't. I'll say it when I still have the strength to speak now. If I don't say it now, I won't even have the strength to speak in the future and I won't rest in peace at that time."

Speaking of this, she took a deep breath. After recovering a little of strength, she continued, "Henry, you must promise me this. You must!"

Henry pursed his lips and looked at her for a long time before he asked hoarsely, "What’s your wish?"
