CHAPTER 694 GOING BACK
"No, I trust your taste." Henry lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.
Yvonne didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She slapped him on the shoulder. "Be serious. Let me tie this necktie on you."
"You can tie your necktie and I can kiss all I like, it doesn't matter," Henry said disapprovingly.
Yvonne didn't know what to do with him, so she simply ignored him and let him do as he liked.
Just like Henry said, the necktie suited him well.
In fact, as long as it was a dark color, it would suit him better.
Yvonne looked at the necktie she tied on him and clapped her hands with satisfaction. "Not bad."
Henry raised his hand to touch the tie knot and smiled as well. "Not bad indeed, but take it off for me."
"Why?" Yvonne looked at him. "You don't like it?"
"No, it’s getting late so it's time to go to bed." Henry took her hands and put them on his necktie.
Yvonne rolled her eyes and took off his necktie.
That night, Henry didn't do anything to her because h e knew she was tired after being on the flight for so long, so he just hugged her to sleep.
The next day, after eating breakfast, Yvonne took Henry to Dr. Peter's.
When Dr. Peter saw them coming, he got up and welcomed them, "Miss Smith, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Yvonne stretched out her hand and shook Dr. Peter’s hand.
She then pointed at Henry and introduced him, "Dr. Peter, this is my husband, Henry."
"Hello, Mr. Lancaster." Dr. Peter reached out his hand t o Henry.
Henry shook his hand. "Hello, Dr. Peter."
"Dr. Peter, I heard from my mother that you asked me t o come here. What’s the matter?" Yvonne blinked and asked.
When Dr. Peter heard her question, he opened the drawer and took out a document. "Well, Miss Smith, regarding the scheduled skin graft surgery, we may not be able to do it for the time being."
"What’s the reason?" Henry frowned as he was upset.
Yvonne pursed her red lips.
When Dr. Peter saw their looks, he knew they had misunderstood. He scratched his grey hair and said," Miss Smith, Mr. Lancaster, you have misunderstood. What I meant was that we just can’t perform the surgery on Miss Smith for the time being. This is because we’ve received two new special patients here so we need to perform surgeries on them first. Miss Smith's surgery will be postponed."
"Special patients?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows.
"Yes." Dr. Peter sighed and showed her two pictures.
After Yvonne saw them, she was so startled that she jumped up from her seat.
Henry hurriedly pulled her into his arms to calm her down. At the same time, he also took the photos away from her hands.
He looked at the two photos. Although he was not as frightened as her, his pupils shrank.
This was because the two people in the photos looked horrible. They did not have any skin that was unburned as it looked all wrinkled and horrifying.
"These are also burns, right?" Henry returned the photo to Dr. Peter.
Dr. Peter nodded. "Yes, these two ladies were seriously burned by a fire. The area of their burns is as high as 8 0%. You guys saw it too-they didn't have any skin left. Moreover, they have special identities so our superiors asked us to perform surgery on them first."
At that moment, Yvonne had already stepped out of the shock. "It's okay. You can perform the surgery on them first. I only have a few scars on my waist and abdomen, it's not serious. Their injuries are much more serious than mine."
When Henry heard that, he didn't say anything
anymore.
He was thinking about the photos he just saw.
It turned out that people who suffered from fire burns would look like that.
Was Yvonne like that back then? Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
As Henry thought of that, he felt like his heart just got grabbed by someone and it was painful.
He squeezed Yvonne's hand.
Yvonne looked back at him. "What's the matter?"
Henry shook his head slightly. "Nothing. It's just nice that you're by my side now!"
Yvonne didn’t know why he said that and was a little dumbfounded. "Silly!"
Henry didn’t speak anymore and accepted the fact that she called him "silly.”
After that, Yvonne looked at Dr. Peter again. "Dr. Peter, how long will the surgery on those two young ladies take?"
"Perhaps half a year. After all, the skin needs to be made and operated on at the same time. It will most definitely take a long time, but don't worry, Miss Smith. I’ll notify you immediately when their surgery i s completed," Dr. Peter said apologetically.
Yvonne waved her hand. "Okay, I understand. We’ll take our leave then. Darling, let's go."
She patted Henry on the shoulder.
After Henry stood up and nodded to Dr. Peter, he took her by the hand and walked out of the hospital.
Back at the manor, Mrs. Smith asked, "How is it? What did Dr. Peter say?"
Yvonne took her hand and told her about what happened.
After Mrs. Smith heard it, she sighed emotionally, "If that's the case, we'll see how it goes in half a year then."
"We think so too," Yvonne nodded and replied.
"Come on, let's go in." Mrs. Smith held her with one hand and Henry with another as they walked towards the manor.
Yvonne and Henry stayed there for almost a week before they decided to return to Canada.
It was time for them to go back after being away for so long.
Yvonne missed Theo and she should also go back to take over the company because she simply could not let Sam keep managing it for her.
After all, Sam had his own company that still needed him.
At the airport, Mr. Smith specifically left from a meeting and came to see them off.
Yvonne hugged Mr. and Mrs. Smith before walking to the ticket gate with Henry.
After getting on the plane, Yvonne looked out the window and her eyes were full of dismay.
Henry noticed it and hugged her. "It's okay, we’ll come visit them frequently in the future and we’ll bring Theo with us."
"Well, you made a promise." Yvonne sniffled.
Henry kissed her forehead. "Yeah, I promise."
"Extend your shoulders a little bit. I want to lean on your shoulder and sleep!" Yvonne put her hood on.
Henry stretched his shoulder over. "Go to sleep then."
Yvonne leaned her face on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
She slept and when she woke up, they had already arrived in Canada.
She stretched her waist and opened her eyes. "We’ve arrived?"
"We’ve arrived," Henry replied as he tidied her hair.
Yvonne turned her neck as it felt stiff from sleeping. "I didn't expect that I’d sleep for so long."
"You did sleep for a long time," Henry said while looking at her.
Yvonne started sleeping when she got on the plane so she had slept for almost ten hours until now. She didn't wake up during the flight at all. If Henry wasn't sure that she was okay, he would have thought that she was sick.
Moreover, during that time, the quality of her sleep was getting better and better. No matter how she slept, it seemed as if she had not slept enough.
"What are you thinking about?" Yvonne gently pushed Henry when she saw that he was in a daze.
Henry's eyes flickered and he snapped out of his daze. "Nothing. Let's go."
He took her hand and got off the plane with her.
As soon as she walked out of the passage, Yvonne saw Sue with Theo from a distance.
Her eyes lit up and she immediately got Henry's hand off her as she ran towards Sue and Theo.
When Henry saw it, he pursed his thin lips and his face darkened as he walked over while pulling the suitcase.
Yvonne went to Theo after she greeted Sue. She then stretched out her hand to Theo. "Theo, do you still remember Mommy?"
"I remember." Theo nodded his head and stretched out his hand.
Yvonne carried him from Sue's arms. "Theo, I miss you so much. Let me kiss you."
After she said that, she kissed Theo's face.
Henry suddenly coughed slightly.
Yvonne stopped and looked at him. "What's the matter?"
