But for whatever reason, it was none of his business.
As a lawyer, it was his duty to be conscientious.
The lawyer asked, "Okay, Mr. Lancaster. Do you have anything else to add?"
Henry waved his hand. “No, you may leave for the notarization."
"Okay." The lawyer closed his notebook, stood up, and kept his recorder and camera before he left the study room.
Henry was left alone in the study room.
After staying for a while, Henry went back to his room.
He hadn't rested much for the past two days and his head felt heavy now.
In the evening, Henry went to the hospital again after resting for a few hours.
He found Shane and asked for his permission to visit Yvonne in the ward.
Shane resolutely refused to agree.
However, Henry was very firm and he refused to back down.
In the end, Shane compromised and granted him ten minutes for the visit.
Henry put on the protective clothing and entered Yvonne’s ward.
Yvonne was still sober at the moment. She tried to open her eyes with all her strength when she heard the footsteps.
She asked weakly, "Are you going to sterilize again?"
Henry felt heartbroken listening to her voice that was weaker than yesterday.
Henry parted his lips lightly. "It's me."
Hearing his voice, Yvonne opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at him. "Henry?"
"Yes." Henry nodded and stopped by the hospital bed.
Yvonne's body trembled slightly. "Henry, are you crazy? What are you doing here? Get out of here now!"
Henry looked at her with serious eyes. "I'm not leaving, n
Yvonne was very angry at the moment. "What are you doing here if you don't go out? Do you know it's dangerous? You weren’t allowed to come in here a long time ago, but you're here now. Did you come in without permission?"
"No." Henry replied, "Shane agreed."
Yvonne didn't believe him. "No way. How could he agree to let you in? He's a doctor. He knows that this is dangerous. How could he let you in?"
Henry sat down beside the bed. "Don't worry, I didn't lie to you."
Yvonne became more agitated when she saw him sitting down instead of leaving. "Henry, what do you want to do? I'm begging you. Please go out and don’t stay here!"
She really didn't want him here.
She was really afraid that he would be infected.
Henry looked at Yvonne who was anxiously worried. His thin lips behind the mask were hooked. "It's okay. I'm here. Besides meeting you, I wanted to tell you something more important."
Henry looked at Yvonne who was anxious and worried, twitching his mouth behind the mask. "It’s okay. Besides wanting to see you, more importantly, I’m here to tell you one thing." 2
"What's the matter?" Yvonne looked at him.
Henry took her hand and put it to his ear. 1
Upon seeing his action, her heart suddenly jumped. " Henry, what are you doing?"
He wasn't going to take off his mask, was he?
He spoke in a light tone and wasn't nervous about being infected with the virus.
It was as if being infected with the virus was just a trivial matter.
But Yvonne was completely dumbfounded. Her mind was blank and she took a long time to come back to reality. Her voice was hoarse. "Henry, is it worth it?"
Henry didn't even think about it and answered directly, "It's worth it!"
Yvonne had nothing to say. Her last bit of persistence completely collapsed and her heart had completely softened.
"You're really..." she cried, not knowing what to say.
Henry took her hand. "Now that we’re infected with the virus, I can touch you. You won't drive me away, right?"
Yvonne moved her lips a few times and burst into a smile. While she was smiling, tears started streaming down.
Yvonne said in a broken voice, "Stupid, idiot, moron, fool. How can there be such a person in this world who’s not afraid of death?"
She had accepted him completely and finally faced her feelings.
He could die for her. What else was she holding onto?
Henry lowered his head and put his forehead against Yvonne's. His voice was gentle and full of affection." Everyone is afraid of death. I'm afraid too, but if I'm dying with you, then I'm not afraid anymore. What's more, I've sworn that I'll never leave you again after I left you six years ago, so no matter where you are, I'll b e there."
Yvonne couldn’t stop crying, "What about Theo? What i s he going to do if you do this? He's losing his mother. Do you want him to lose his father as well?"
Henry said, "I believe our son will understand. He's very smart. He's just shut himself off for now, but he knows everything about the outside world. Furthermore, I made full preparations before coming here."
Yvonne sobbed, "Preparations?”
Henry replied, "Yes, I left everything to Theo, which means I'm penniless now. The richest man in our family is our son. Besides, there's Hayden. He's Theo's uncle. I believe he'll take good care of Theo in the future."
Yvonne raised her arm in difficulty and patted him.' Have you asked Theo if this is what he wants?" These were just his arrangements.
