Henry took her hand and held it tightly. "I didn't ask, but I can't manage so much. I love Theo very much, but I love you more."
His words touched Yvonne's heart.
No woman would like to understand that the person she liked admitted that she was above her children.
She was the same.
"But Theo..."
Henry comforted her, "Don't worry. Without us, he'll still grow up peacefully. The Lancaster family has his back."
Perhaps Yvonne was convinced, but she didn't speak anymore.
At this time, there were messy footsteps outside the ward.
The footsteps sounded urgent and they seemed to be running.
The next second, the door of the ward opened and several people dressed like astronauts rushed in.
The leader instructed harshly, "You two. Take him to the sterilization room. Hurry up!"
Although the voice was a little muffled, Yvonne knew who it was. It was Shane's voice.
Yvonne quickly said, "Shane, quick. You must save him. You can't let him be infected with the virus!"
Shane nodded. "I know. Don’t worry."
Two doctors carried Henry out.
Soon, only Yvonne and Shane were left in the ward.
Shane stood beside her bed. "To be honest, I was very surprised. Henry begged me before this to let him come in to see you. I didn't want to agree with him, but I've never seen him this humble, so I agreed. But I didn't expect him to take the mask off!"
He didn't know at first. He only found out when someone in the surveillance room informed him.
Knowing that Henry took his mask off, he immediately put on his protective clothing and rushed over with two doctors.
Yvonne smiled bitterly. "It's not just you. Even I didn't expect him to do so."
Shane stated, "He loves you and is willing to die for you.”
Yvonne closed her eyes.
Shane suddenly smiled forcefully. "I really lost this time!"
Yvonne opened her eyes and looked at him. "Shane..."
Shane said while lowering his head and smiling bitterly, "I always feel that my feelings for you are no less than his, but now I understand that I can't compare with him. He's willing to be infected and die with you, but I can't do it. I've never thought of doing this, so I've lost."
He really felt that Henry loved her very much and deeply.
He was willing to give up everything for her, but he never thought about giving up his life for her.
This was the biggest difference between him and Henry, so he couldn’t compare with Henry.
Yvonne listened to Shane's words and shook her head lightly. "You didn't lose. Everyone's feelings are different. You can't say that you’ve lost just because you didn't do as much as Henry. You did a lot for me. I f you hadn't saved me several times, I would have died long ago."
"But...”
Yvonne smiled weakly. "There's no but. This shows that I'm not the person you're destined to be with. Perhaps when you find the right person, you'll be like Henry and sacrifice yourself for that person. Don't give up, Shane. I hope you can find the right person as soon as possible." 1
Shane was relieved and laughed, "Well, since you said so, I mustn't let you down. So, Yvonne, you can't give u p too. You must witness me finding the person I'm destined to be with and I'll definitely get the vaccine ready soon."
Yvonne answered softly, "Yeah."
Although she promised him, she knew in her heart that she might not be able to live until then.
It wasn't easy to study the vaccine.
Even if the research was successful, it would definitely be after her death.
Shane left. The ward became quiet again, leaving Yvonne alone.
Yvonne looked at the white ceiling. After a while, she was defeated by fatigue and fell asleep.
It was the next day when she woke up again.
