Chapter 216 He Regretted It
As soon as Sister Zhang came out, she saw Hank outside. “Sir… you heard it all?” Sister Zhang was upset that she should not have said those words, otherwise, it would not have caused Lyra to be disgusted. She was just being kind and wanted to make the two of them get back together. At the very least, they could not hate the other party so much. “Take care of your body. Don’t worry about anything else,” Hank said indifferently. Sister Zhang nodded. The person who knew the most about her physical condition was Hank. Sister Zhang sighed silently. At her age, she had long forgotten about life and death. That night Just as Lyra was about to go to sleep, Hank called her to the study room and gave her a document.
“Mr. Barnwell, these are all your project books. I am an outsider, isn’t it inappropriate?” She frowned. She did not want to be gossiped about by others in the future. Moreover, it would definitely be early in the morning after all this was done. The man lifted his eyes and looked at her. He did not say a word, but his cold eyes conveyed his meaning. Lyra pursed her lips and sat down helplessly. Two hours later, her eyelids were twitching. “Continue.” Hank threw another document in front of her. Lyra was dizzy. When she took it, she almost knocked over the teacup on the table. At this time, there was suddenly a burst of cracking sound outside the door. “It wasn’t me.” Hank immediately got up and went in the direction of the living room. Lyra chased out and saw Sister Zhang lying beside the sofa. She had lost consciousness. “Call a car and go to the hospital!”
“Okay.”
Lyra saw the anxious look on Hank’s face with her own eyes. He carried Sister Zhang and walked out of the door in a few steps.
Lyra’s heart tightened and she hurriedly followed out. The hospital corridor in the early morning was very quiet. The lights in the operating room were always on. Lyra curled up on the bench and Hank sat opposite her. The two of them looked at each other in silence.
The words that Sister Zhang said in the afternoon surrounded her ears. Hank was not a cold person by nature. He was also forced to this extent by the plight of life. Lyra lowered her head. She seemed to have never investigated why Hank had always regarded the Jones family as an enemy. The hatred that he kept talking about, exactly… Bang. Sister Zhang was pushed out of the hospital bed by the doctor. Because it was a patient brought by Hank, the chief surgeon was the deputy director on duty tonight “Mr. Barnwell, let’s go to my office to talk.” The doctor looked worried. Hank seemed to have expected this result and followed him without any expression.
Lyra held their coats and walked at the back.
“After our treatment, the patient will soon regain consciousness. But it is inevitable for the cancer cells in her body to spread. In the past few years, both you and the patient have worked hard, but unfortunately.” Hank clenched his fists, and the sadness in his eyes could not be dispersed. Lyra was also shocked. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
“How much longer?” Hank asked after a long silence. The vice-president sighed and said conservatively, “At most one month.” When they left the office and walked to the ward, Hank’s expression was unfathomable, like sadness, but also like he didn’t care. In the end, he stopped not far from the door of the ward. Lyra looked up and saw that he no longer had his usual unruly and arrogant appearance, and his eyes were faintly red. “Let me accompany Sister Zhang. If you are here, she will be worried.” Lyra wanted to do something for her.
Hank gave her a deep look and did not move for a long time. “Mr. Barnwell, do you need to cancel your flight at six in the morning?” Keith hurriedly rushed over when he received the news. Recently, the Barnwell group had a lot of things to deal with. He glanced at Lyra and said after a while, “If there is anything, tell me at any time.” Lyra nodded and watched the man turn and leave. The lights in the ward were still on. Lyra adjusted her mood and walked in. “Sister Zhang, you’re awake? How do you feel?”
She still had to show nervousness.
Otherwise, Sister Zhang would feel even worse. “It’s fine, it’s just an old illness.” Sister Zhang smiled and sat up. She looked in the direction of the door. Although she did not ask, Lyra knew what she meant.
