Time had gone by so quickly...
Yvonne's eyes dimmed as she looked at Henry's face, and her heart was full of dismay.
Outside the door, Marc noticed that she didn’t respond and he thought she didn't hear him, so he reminded her again. "Miss, we have to go soon. The doctor and nurse will come to check the ward soon. If they see you, they’ll definitely tell Mr. Lancaster that you were here."
Yvonne closed her eyes when she heard that and removed her hand from Henry's face.
"I know. Just give me one minute. One more minute!" she replied to Marc.
Marc agreed.
Yvonne turned her gaze to Henry again and tears came out. "Goodbye Henry. Wait for my return. You must wait for me!"
After she said that, she pressed the button on the armrest of the wheelchair with her trembling hand.
She turned her wheelchair around immediately and moved towards the door.
When the door opened, Marc saw her coming out. He took the initiative to walk behind her and helped her push the wheelchair. "Miss, it’s time to go."
Yvonne didn't answer, but turned her head and looked at the door behind her with red eyes.
After staring at the door for a while, she bit her lip and looked away as she turned her head back. "Let's go..."
Marc knew that she was very reluctant to leave, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, miss. You can come back and see Mr. Lancaster when your injury is healed."
"I know, but it’ll take a long time. Thanks anyway." Yvonne forced a smile.
Marc gave her a pure smile and said nothing as he pushed her towards the elevator.
After walking for some distance, Yvonne suddenly heard footsteps. The source of the footsteps happened to be near the elevator.
Soon, as the sound of the footsteps got closer and closer, a tall and slender figure came out from the corner while carrying a thermos and it immediately caught Yvonne's eyes.
After realizing who the person was, Yvonne instantly tensed up and patted the armrest anxiously. "Marc, don't let her see me."
"Hmm?" Marc was shocked and he seemed to be in a daze.
Yvonne became even more anxious when Marc did not move. "She’s Jacqueline!"
When Marc heard her name, he finally snapped out of his daze and pushed Yvonne into a random ward.
The people in the ward looked at them curiously." Who are you?"
Yvonne lowered her head and didn't reply. Her body was still shaking slightly.
Marc had to smile and reply, "We're here to see a friend, but we seem to have entered the wrong ward. Sorry, we'll leave now."
When he heard the footsteps outside fade, he opened the door and pushed Yvonne out of the ward.
After that, Marc looked back and saw that figure had pushed open the door to Henry's ward and walked in. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, she’s gone."
"Gone?" Yvonne was also in a daze and it took her a while to finally focus again.
Marc nodded. "Yes, she's gone."
"Where did she go?" Yvonne looked back, but she did not see Jacqueline's figure. She vaguely knew the answer in her heart.
Marc did not answer.
Yvonne grasped the armrest of the wheelchair and asked louder, "Is she in Henry’s ward? Did she go to his ward?"
Marc's expression seemed like he was struggling to
speak. "Yes..."
Yvonne's heart sank in an instant. "Why? Why did she come here to visit Henry's ward?"
"This..." Marc touched his nose and didn't know what t o say.
Yvonne noticed that something was wrong with him and she bit her lip as she asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Miss, the less you know, the better."
"No, I need to know!" Yvonne became emotional. "I just want to know why Jacqueline came here to see Henry."
