"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."
