"No, I trust your taste." Henry lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.
Yvonne didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She slapped him on the shoulder. "Be serious. Let me tie this necktie on you."
"You can tie your necktie and I can kiss all I like, it doesn't matter," Henry said disapprovingly.
Yvonne didn't know what to do with him, so she simply ignored him and let him do as he liked.
Just like Henry said, the necktie suited him well.
In fact, as long as it was a dark color, it would suit him better.
Yvonne looked at the necktie she tied on him and clapped her hands with satisfaction. "Not bad."
Henry raised his hand to touch the tie knot and smiled as well. "Not bad indeed, but take it off for me."
"Why?" Yvonne looked at him. "You don't like it?"
"No, it’s getting late so it's time to go to bed." Henry took her hands and put them on his necktie.
Yvonne rolled her eyes and took off his necktie.
That night, Henry didn't do anything to her because h e knew she was tired after being on the flight for so long, so he just hugged her to sleep.
The next day, after eating breakfast, Yvonne took Henry to Dr. Peter's.
When Dr. Peter saw them coming, he got up and welcomed them, "Miss Smith, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Yvonne stretched out her hand and shook Dr. Peter’s hand.
She then pointed at Henry and introduced him, "Dr. Peter, this is my husband, Henry."
"Hello, Mr. Lancaster." Dr. Peter reached out his hand t o Henry.
Henry shook his hand. "Hello, Dr. Peter."
"Dr. Peter, I heard from my mother that you asked me t o come here. What’s the matter?" Yvonne blinked and asked.
When Dr. Peter heard her question, he opened the drawer and took out a document. "Well, Miss Smith, regarding the scheduled skin graft surgery, we may not be able to do it for the time being."
"What’s the reason?" Henry frowned as he was upset.
Yvonne pursed her red lips.
When Dr. Peter saw their looks, he knew they had misunderstood. He scratched his grey hair and said," Miss Smith, Mr. Lancaster, you have misunderstood. What I meant was that we just can’t perform the surgery on Miss Smith for the time being. This is because we’ve received two new special patients here so we need to perform surgeries on them first. Miss Smith's surgery will be postponed."
"Special patients?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows.
"Yes." Dr. Peter sighed and showed her two pictures.
After Yvonne saw them, she was so startled that she jumped up from her seat.
Henry hurriedly pulled her into his arms to calm her down. At the same time, he also took the photos away from her hands.
He looked at the two photos. Although he was not as frightened as her, his pupils shrank.
This was because the two people in the photos looked horrible. They did not have any skin that was unburned as it looked all wrinkled and horrifying.
"These are also burns, right?" Henry returned the photo to Dr. Peter.
Dr. Peter nodded. "Yes, these two ladies were seriously burned by a fire. The area of their burns is as high as 8 0%. You guys saw it too-they didn't have any skin left. Moreover, they have special identities so our superiors asked us to perform surgery on them first."
At that moment, Yvonne had already stepped out of the shock. "It's okay. You can perform the surgery on them first. I only have a few scars on my waist and abdomen, it's not serious. Their injuries are much more serious than mine."
When Henry heard that, he didn't say anything
anymore.
He was thinking about the photos he just saw.
It turned out that people who suffered from fire burns would look like that.
Was Yvonne like that back then?
As Henry thought of that, he felt like his heart just got grabbed by someone and it was painful.
He squeezed Yvonne's hand.
Yvonne looked back at him. "What's the matter?"
Henry shook his head slightly. "Nothing. It's just nice that you're by my side now!"
Yvonne didn’t know why he said that and was a little dumbfounded. "Silly!"
