Henry and Shane looked at each other, but they didn't want to tell her.
Since it was a surprise, it wouldn't be surprising anymore if they said it.
Yvonne pouted, "Forget it."
"Okay, you both should have some rest. I'll make a move first. People are still waiting for me in the laboratory," Shane said, picked up the test tube containing Henry's blood, and went out.
The ward became quiet again.
Henry touched Yvonne’s head. "Tired?"
Yvonne said, "A little. I get tired fast after waking up these days."
Henry felt sad deep down in his heart, but his face was calm and gentle. "Sleep then."
Yvonne said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I won't wake up after this sleep?”
Henry pursed his thin lips. "No, I'll wake you up every once in a while. I won't let you sleep deeply."
"It's very immoral of you to do so. No one would wake someone else when they fall asleep." Yvonne stared at him.
Henry endured the sadness in his heart and covered
her eyes. "Alright, go to sleep.”
"Then I'll sleep now."
"Okay.” Henry nodded, but he didn't take his hand away.
After a while, he felt the eyelashes under his palm stop moving. He knew that she was asleep, so he took his hand away.
Looking at Yvonne's thin sleeping face, Henry's heart was painful and tense.
He really wanted to destroy Jacqueline's tombstone if doing so wasn't meaningless.
With a heavy sigh, Henry tucked Yvonne in and then turned to his bed.
Soon, it was the next day.
Yvonne was awakened when she was still in deep sleep.
Opening her dim eyes, she saw Henry's handsome face appear in front of her.
She forced a smile at him. "Are you really waking me u p? How long did I sleep?"
Henry answered softly, "One day."
In fact, he didn't wake her up every now and then like he said yesterday.
But he came to check on her breath once in a while.
Although he knew that her last days were still a few days away, he was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to wake up once she fell asleep.
Luckily, nothing happened tonight.
She was still alive.
Yvonne was shocked. "One day? I slept for so long?"
Henry nodded. "Yes, you slept really well."
Yvonne looked at him. "Didn't you say that you'd wake me up every once in a while? Why didn’t you do so?”
Henry looked into her eyes and replied earnestly, "I don’t want to. You look good when you sleep."
Yvonne rolled her eyes-she obviously didn't believe him. "I know how I look now. I look in the mirror too. How can I still look good?”
Currently, she looked like Dominic when she saw him.
Even thinner than Dominic.
How blind could he be to think that she was pretty?
Henry said with a smile, "Well, it's already the next day. Don’t you want to know what surprise I've prepared for you?"
This sentence reminded Yvonne.
Her dim eyes finally had a little luster in them. "Of course I want to know. Tell me, what's the surprise?"
Henry said to her, "Close your eyes.”
Yvonne closed her eyes obediently.
Henry covered her eyes with his hand. "I have to do this to prevent you from peeping."
"Hmph!" Yvonne groaned in dissatisfaction, but she didn't stop him and let him cover her eyes.
Right after that, she heard the door of the ward open. A lot of people came in and there was the sound of wheels. 1
What kind of surprise did he prepare that he needed a trolley to push it?
