Henry still did not speak, but his clenched fists and forbearing expression already explained everything.
She was indeed infected with the virus.
Yvonne was a little dizzy and she shouted loudly, "You need to get out. Get out right now. Don’t stay here, I'll infect you."
Henry was indifferent. "No, I'm wearing protective clothing."
"So what? Protective clothing doesn’t completely protect you from the virus, so get out." Yvonne looked a t him.
No matter what, she did not want him to be infected.
However, instead of leaving, Henry held her hand. " You should calm down first."
"How can I calm down? I'm infected with the virus and it’s contagious," Yvonne shouted.
Henry held her in his arms. "I know it's contagious, but I'm not afraid."
"You..." Yvonne was startled by him.
Henry knew that she was infected with the virus, but not only did he not leave, he also chose to be in close contact with her. He...
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Yvonne grabbed his
protective suit and asked in a trembling voice.
Henry chuckled, "Everyone is afraid of death, but I want to be with you even more."
"You're insane. You really are insane!" Yvonne hit his back vigorously.
She did not show any mercy as she really was hitting him with all her strength.
Henry was in pain after getting hit and he clenched his teeth, but he did not make a sound and let her vent.
After a while, she seemed to be done venting and she pushed him away, "Just stand there. Stay a few feet away from me and don't come any closer!" Yvonne pointed at Henry and said in a cold voice.
Henry knew that she was just acting cold now because she did not want him to get close and possibly get infected.
Henry didn’t want to make her angry, so he stood still.
When Yvonne saw him do as she said, she felt a little better, but she was still very down. "I heard from Shane that this virus has an incubation period and will only appear after a few days. In other words, I was infected a few days ago, but I've been in contact with you guys in the past few days. Have any of you been infected by me?"
She asked anxiously! 1
Henry shook his head. "No."
"Really?" Yvonne was a little unconvinced.
Henry said, "Really. I've sent everyone that you've been in contact with to the hospital for examination. They didn't find any traces of the viral agent in them, but they’re still quarantined at the moment."
Yvonne was relieved after she heard that. "That’s good, that’s good. Is Theo okay?"
She was mostly worried about Theo.
If Theo was infected by her, she would absolutely hate herself to death.
"He’s okay. Theo has been with Hayden these days and he didn't have much contact with you. He's fine!" Henry replied.
Yvonne cried with joy, "I’m so thankful for Elliot. He saved me again."
Saving Theo was the same as saving her.
Henry agreed with her.
If Theo really was infected, she definitely would not survive.
After knowing that Theo and the others were fine, Yvonne was truly relieved. Even if she was infected with the virus, she seemed to be in a much better headspace.
But Henry could not seem to let go. He asked in a deep voice, "How did you get the virus? Besides us, who else have you seen recently?"
Yvonne knew that Henry wanted to know the source o f the virus. After thinking about it, she shook her head. "I've only seen you recently. I haven't seen anyone else, except..."
"Except who?" Henry narrowed his eyes.
Yvonne bit her lip and uttered two words: "Jacqueline Conrad!"
