"What did you say?" Sam was stunned.
Yvonne's pupils shrank and her mind was completely blank.
"They... are going to get married..." Mr. Marc said it again.
Sam didn’t know what to say. He could only look at Yvonne for her reaction.
He thought she would be emotional, but unexpectedly she was very calm.
She let go of the documents calmly and then said softly, "Can you guys... leave? I want to calm myself down and digest the news alone."
"Yvonne..." Sam was a little worried.
Yvonne looked at him blankly. "Brother, please get out!"
Sam moved his lips and wanted to say something. But he didn't say anything in the end. He nodded, then left with Mr. Marc.
As soon as they left and before the door was closed completely, he heard a scream of anguish.
That scream was full of sorrow and despair that made people upset.
Mr. Marc worriedly asked, "Mr. Smith, will she be
alright?"
Sam closed the door expressionlessly. "Let her vent."
Since Mr. Smith said so, what else could Mr. Marc have said? He could only sigh and nod.
The two men leaned on both sides of the door, quietly waiting for the person in the ward to finish venting.
But the person inside didn't stop even after a long time. Mr. Marc's heart trembled when he heard the sound of clashing and heavy objects falling to the ground.
Sam was the only one who didn't react much as if he didn't hear it. His eyelids drooped slightly as he thought deeply.
They were not sure how much time passed. Finally, there was no movement in the ward and it became quiet.
Mr. Marc looked at Sam to ask if he wanted to go in.
When Sam understood what he meant, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he opened the door and went in.
As soon as they entered, the mess in the ward startled them.
Nothing was in place. The bed had been overturned, the quilt on the bed had been crumpled up in the corner of the wall while the two bedside tables were upside down too. The instruments on the tables were scattered all over the floor, probably broken.
All in all, for almost everything that could be thrown o r pushed in the ward, Yvonne had thrown and pushed them away. There was no space for them to stand in the ward.
Yvonne sat on the edge of her inverted hospital bed with her back facing Sam and Mr. Marc. Her body was crouched, holding a fruit knife in her hand. The blade of the knife reflected the sunlight and it flashed coldly, which made people feel scared.
"Yvonne!" Sam was frightened by the way she looked and the knife in her hand. He didn't care if he tripped on something on the ground. He ran up to her quickly and took the knife away. He said furiously, "What are you doing? Do you want to commit suicide?"
When Yvonne heard this, she burst into tears.
She really wanted to kill herself!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the knife.
But just as she was about to cut her wrist, her stomach hurt suddenly. She woke up instantly and realized that she was still pregnant with her child. If she died, the child would be gone as well, so she stopped her hand in time and didn't cut it.
Seeing that Yvonne really wanted to die, Sam, who was always gentle, finally showed his anger. "Is it worth it to die for a man?"
Yvonne covered her face and cried even louder.
