"I've made the arrangements so don’t worry. You'll get t o see him." Sam touched her head.
Yvonne smiled at ease. "Thank you, brother."
"You don’t have to thank me. You’re my sister, so as an older brother, I’ll try my best to fulfill your wishes.
This is my responsibility, got it?" Sam looked at her seriously.
Yvonne blushed a little as she didn't know how to reply, so she nodded.
Sam took his hand away and said, "I'll ask the nurse to buy you something to eat."
"Okay," Yvonne answered.
Sam then took out his phone and made a call.
Yvonne turned and looked around as if she was looking for something, but she could not find what she was searching for and there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
When Sam finished the call, she looked at him and asked, "Brother, is there a mirror here?"
Sam’s eyes narrowed. "Why do you want a mirror?"
Yvonne lowered her eyes and replied, "I want to see what I look like now."
Sam pursed his lower lip. "Don’t look. Wait until it gets
better."
"But..."
"Just listen!" Sam interrupted her.
When Yvonne saw that he was determined not to give her a mirror, she sighed and fell silent.
Sam touched her head again. "Shan, it's not that I don't want to show you a mirror. I'm just worried that you might be sad when you see it. Besides, you’re still wrapped in bandages and you can't really see anything."
"I know." Yvonne smiled at him. "I'm not going to look then."
"Well, as long as you understand. Don't worry, I’ll never harm you," Sam said seriously.
Yvonne could feel the warmth in her heart. "I believe you!"
Even if they were not siblings, he saved her twice after all, so she would certainly trust him unconditionally.
"Trust me, just rest first, and the caregiver will come i n soon. I need to go out and give Marc a call." Sam shook his phone and turned around to leave the ward.
Not long after he left, the caregiver came with food.
Yvonne had no appetite so she had a quick meal. After that, a nurse came to change her dressing.
The nurse left after that, but Sam never came back. She wondered if he had left the hospital because of an
emergency.
Without thinking much about it, Yvonne yawned and went to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, it was already noon.
Under the nurse's care, Yvonne quickly washed up and started having her lunch.
Halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
Yvonne asked the nurse to open the door and when the door opened, it was Sam's assistant.
Marc walked to Yvonne and said, "Miss Shannon, good afternoon."
Yvonne was a little stunned to hear Marc call her that. It took her a long time to realize that she was Shannon now, not Yvonne.
Yvonne smiled back and greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Marc."
Marc said, "Mr. Smith asked me to come and see if you are awake. I'll be taking you to the hospital where Mr.
Lancaster is."
"I see." Yvonne then asked, "Where's my brother?"
"Mr. Smith encountered a little trouble so he had to go solve it," Marc replied.
Yvonne was a little anxious. "Trouble? Is he going to b e in danger?"
Marc smiled and shook his head. "No, but it's going to take some time, so Mr. Smith asked me to come instead. Otherwise, he would’ve taken you there himself."
A few minutes later, they arrived at Henry's ward.
Yvonne looked at the closed door of the ward and her heart beat faster. She was a little nervous, and her breathing became rapid.
Marc opened the door for her and said, "Miss, you can go in now. I’ll wait for you outside."
Yvonne was very anxious to see Henry, and without replying to Marc, she pushed her wheelchair into the ward.
Henry was lying on the bed in the ward. He was sleeping soundly at the moment because of the sleeping pills, and he had no reaction at all.
Yvonne's eyes turned red the moment she stopped by his hospital bed.
She finally saw him again!
This was the first time she had seen him since she was abducted by Shaw, but he didn't know about this a tall.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his complexion was not well. It was probably because he had been having a tough time recently.
"Henry..." Yvonne murmured as she stretched out her hand that was less injured, and gently placed it on
Henry's face. She slowly stroked his face through the bandages on her hand, and it was bittersweet.
It was sweet because she finally touched him again.
It was bitter because she couldn’t feel the temperature of his skin through the bandages. The touch didn't feel real to her.
But even so, she was already content because at least h e was real and he was right in front of her.
"Henry, I'm back." Yvonne wept softly as she stared at Henry's pale but handsome face. She didn't want to look away for even a moment as if she wanted to look at his face long enough for it to last for the rest of her life.
In fact, it was almost like her reality.
She would be leaving soon to go abroad, and she would not be able to come back for at least two years after leaving. 1
That was why she wanted to look at him a few more times and remember his face.
So for an hour, Yvonne stared at Henry and said nothing. She knew that even if she said anything, he couldn't hear her.
At this moment, Marc's voice sounded outside the door. "Miss, time's almost up. Can we leave now?"
