CHAPTER 663 NO MORE HEARTBEAT

At that time, his true identity was just revealed.

He couldn't accept that his resolute hatred turned out t o be fake all along. The person he hated all this time was actually his true family.

It was even more unacceptable to him that the woman he loved was his sister-in-law. Therefore, when he saw the bullet flying towards Yvonne, he rushed over t o block it.

It was to save Yvonne, but it was also because he was trying to escape the change in his identity.

To put it bluntly, he was being cowardly.

So he was just like Shane-he loved Yvonne, but at the same time, he also had his own selfish side. Henry was different.

Henry could abandon the huge Lancaster family and give everything up to go after Yvonne without hesitation. He and Shane could not compare to Henry at all in this regard.

Therefore, Henry was the right person for Yvonne.

After thinking about this, Elliot smiled. It was a smile o f relief and acceptance.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, congratulations," Elliot sincerely congratulated them.

The way he addressed Henry and Yvonne as "Big Brother" and "sister-in-law" stunned them, especially Henry.

After Elliot returned back to the Lancaster family, he had never once called Henry his big brother.

But now, Elliot actually called him that.

Henry looked at Elliot deeply through the video as if h e was trying to see right through him.

Elliot just smiled and let Henry stare at him.

After a while, Henry seemed to understand something and smiled, "Welcome back, Hayden."

This was the first time he called Elliot "Hayden" in front of him, and it was also the first time he welcomed Elliot home.

Henry never called Elliot by that name before, and he also never said welcome home to Elliot because he always knew that although Elliot had recognized the Lancaster family, he still had a knot in his heart.

But when Elliot called him "Big Brother," it made him realize that Elliot had let go. He had let go of the knots in his heart and truly recognized the Lancaster family now.

And most importantly, Elliot gave up on his feelings for Yvonne.

"Thank you, Big Brother." Elliot nodded.

Frederick and Sue were so touched they wanted to cry.

They had the same feeling as Henry.

"Elliot, welcome home," Yvonne also said to Elliot.

Henry took her hand.

Like husband, like wife. Not bad!

Elliot also thanked Yvonne.

Shane saw the happy scene of the family on the sidelines and he felt a little envious in his heart.

He coughed slightly, "Well, it's almost time and the patients need to rest. Let’s call it a day."

When they heard that the patients needed to rest, Sue, Frederick, and the rest had no objections, so they hung up the video call.

Henry gave Shane a vague glance, but he did not say anything.

Shane left too and only Yvonne and Henry were left in the ward.

Henry took the rose bouquet apart and put the roses in a vase. He then placed them on the headboard of the bed.

As Yvonne looked at the bright red roses, she was very happy.

"This is the first time you’ve given me flowers," she said. 1

Henry frowned. "The second time."

"The first time doesn't count. You gave it to Shannon the first time," Yvonne pouted.

Henry heard the resentment in her tone and could not help pinching her nose. "You're also Shannon."

"It's not the same. Shannon is my facade, not the real me." Yvonne insisted on arguing to decide who would win and who would lose.

Henry smiled lowly. "Okay, how about I give you a bunch of flowers every day from now on?"

"Really?" Yvonne's eyes lit up.

Henry said, "Really."

"Then you must do it." Yvonne stretched out her little finger.

Henry looked at her action and was a little uncertain s o he asked, "What does this mean?"

"You silly. Pinky promise." Yvonne was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Henry just realized what she meant. He looked at his hand and stretched out his little finger.

This was the first time he had ever made a pinky promise with someone, and it felt very new to him.

After they made a pinky promise, Yvonne did not have any strength anymore. She dropped one hand on the blanket.

"I'm tired and want to sleep," she yawned.

Henry touched her head. "Go to sleep. I'll accompany you."

Yvonne hummed and closed her eyes. She fell asleep soon after.

When Henry said he would accompany her, he actually sat on the side of the bed to accompany her. H e never left. Even when he was sleepy after that, he slept on the side of her bed.

However, Yvonne slept for almost two days before waking up.

But when she woke up, she could not open her eyes anymore. Even her breathing turned into less inhaling and more exhaling.

Henry was so scared to see her like that-he had to call a doctor. But Yvonne stopped him. "No need..."

Henry looked at her with his red eyes.

Although Yvonne couldn’t open her eyes and couldn't see him, she could feel that he was staring at her and his emotions were intense.

She smiled weakly. "It's useless. I know my condition, and I might die soon." 1

She was so tired that she could feel the flame of her life reaching its end, so she stopped him from calling the doctor.

Even if she did not stop him, it was useless for the doctor to come anyway.

She could no longer be saved.

"Yvonne..." Henry hugged Yvonne.

Yvonne leaned in his arms. "Do you feel it too?"

Henry did not speak as he hugged her tightly with his trembling body.

Yvonne took a few breaths. "Are you crying?"

She heard his cry.

Unexpectedly, this man who had always been serious and uptight would cry now.

"Hey..." Yvonne sighed, "Don't cry. Don't be sad. It's just my time soon."

Henry still did not speak as he tightened his hand that was hugging her, as if she would disappear into his arms if he did not do it a little harder. 1

Yvonne smiled, knowing that no matter how she tried to persuade him, he would not listen. So she stopped persuading him and quietly leaned in his arms while feeling his breath and the warmth of his embrace. She waited for death to come quietly.

She didn’t know how long she waited before she felt her mind become hazier and her body began to feel lighter.

She knew that she was dying.

So, was this how it felt when death arrived?

Henry could also feel that something was wrong with the person in his arms. He released his arm and grabbed her shoulder and shook her in horror." Yvonne, Yvonne?" 1

Yvonne was no longer able to respond to him.

She felt like she was falling, and she was falling endlessly into a dark space.

When Henry saw that she didn’t respond, he yelled anxiously after pressing the emergency button," Doctor, doctor!"

Click clack click clack...

There was a rush of footsteps.

After Yvonne heard a bang and she lost consciousness.

Shane came to the bed in protective clothing. He first opened her eyelids and took a look. He then touched her chest and his pupils suddenly shrank, "The patient has no heartbeat. Hurry, CPR!"

As soon as he said that, a female nurse stepped forward and performed CPR on Yvonne.

Shane picked up a syringe from the cart and used it to draw up a red liquid before injecting it into Yvonne.

Henry asked with red eyes, "What's that?"

"Trial vaccine," Shane replied hastily.

Henry looked overjoyed. "Has the vaccine succeeded?"

"Not yet, this is only a trial. We don’t know the effects yet, so we can only give it a try. I hope it works. If it works, the final vaccine will be easy," Shane replied. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Henry clenched his fists and looked at the woman on the hospital bed as he tried to compose himself.

The nurse was still performing CPR on Yvonne and after doing it for some time, the electrocardiogram suddenly beeped.

Everyone was overjoyed. "There's a heartbeat! The patient is alive!"
