Chapter 298 Disappointment
After Hank fainted, he had a fever again and again, even to the point of speaking
nonsense.
All the methods had been used, but he was still unconscious. “There is no fever medicine.” Keith was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat.
Lyra looked at the face that was right in front of her eyes. The emotions in her heart became more and more complicated. Why, why did it have to be like this? “Madam, this is our village’s fever herb. It might be useful.” The child who had sent the windmill came over with a handful of grass in his small hands. “What nonsense are you spouting? That is the village’s local method. If something happens to him after eating it, can you take responsibility?” The child was frightened and cried in a grievance. Lyra looked at the marks on his little hand that had been scratched by branches, got up, and walked over. “Now, I can only try.” The child’s tears suddenly stopped and said, “Mr. Barnwell will get better!” The bearded uncle looked at Lyra several times and muttered, “Are you his fiancee or not?”
Lyra was thinking about how to feed the herbs to Hank. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “I am his ex-wife.” This man’s fiancee was still waiting for him in the hospital. Lyra felt a pain in her heart, and the knife that was twisting the herbs cut her finger. The blood was glaring, but she did not seem to know the pain. After a long time, she finally fed him the herbs. “We have to make every possible effort.” She looked at the silent Keith next to her and said, “Go and rest. I will guard the first half of the night.” Keith opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he finally turned around and sat down in the corner.
Now was not the time to show off.
No one knew when the rescue team would come, and the supplies, medicine… Everything was unknown. At this time, one had to work hard to endure.
The car door was half-open. Hank was lying inside. Lyra was sitting outside, looking
up at the night sky. She suddenly remembered many things from the past. When she had not married this man, her mood was full of expectation and joy. After marrying him, how disappointed and sad she was. After that, her father had an accident, and all her happiness was gone. But now, she was actually guarding her enemy. Lyra took a deep breath and muttered to herself, “Dad, do you think I’m too useless?” She didn’t want to be involved with this man anymore, she didn’t want to be with
him…
Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder, very hard. Lyra turned her head to look.
The tips of their noses touched, and he was still unconscious, but one word was ground out between his thin lips, “Sorry.”
The sky had just brightened. There was a commotion in the surroundings. Lyra had only just opened her eyes when she was pulled into someone’s embrace. He said coldly, “Don’t open your eyes, don’t speak.”
His voice was so soft that it was right next to her ear. Lyra’s body stiffened and she struggled a little, but she was unable to break free from his embrace. She leaned forward slightly and looked outside. It was only then that she saw several people fighting, and the scene was very chaotic. “Those food are mine!”
“Don’t fight. You are also relatives. It is not necessary for some food.” “If this goes on, people will be starved to death! Do you still want to be like twenty years ago, starving a few people to death?” The few of them shouted, arguing endlessly. “Enough! Uncle Zhang is still unconscious. Are you worthy of him for causing such a ruckus?” The bearded big brother stood up and pushed away the few people. “Don’t you feel ashamed?” The few people were indignant. “Brother Chen, back then, it was also because…”
Bang.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the man was punched hard.
“It’s all in the past. If anyone mentions what happened at that time again, don’t blame
me for being impolite.”
The debate ended in this way. Lyra raised her hand and patted her finger, her eyes blinking. If Hank did not let go, she would be short of oxygen.
