Chapter 560: Chapter 560 She Is Like a Coward

Yvette froze!

In the next second, tears silently streamed down her face.

"How could this be?"

Yvette couldn’t believe it. She was unwilling to believe it. "How could this be? Marlon, he was talking to me just now. He said that he would wait for me."

"It’s true, Yvette."

Marlon hugged her, and they cried in tears.

When Yvette was in tears, time traveled backward.

She was standing in front of the cold iron door. It was a mortuary.

She pushed open the door. On the iron bed in the middle, a straight body was covered by a white cloth.

When Yvette saw the stiff body, her whole body trembled violently!

"Lance."

She screamed his name painfully.

Her heart was broken.

She thought, Why?

Why?

Why would such a horrible thing happen to him?

At this moment, Juliette’s curse rang out from her ears again.

"To Lance, you are a jinx! It is a mistake for you to be together! Sooner or later, he will be killed because of you..."

Her words rang out in her ears, like the most vicious curse.

Yvette suddenly cried out, "Don’t... Don’t...

"Return him to me. Return him to me!

"I won’t love him anymore. As long as you let him come back to life...

"Please..."

If it was a mistake for them to be together...

Then she wouldn’t stay with Lance.

Yvette wouldn’t stay with him...

"Wake up, Yvette. Wake up."

In a daze, Yvette seemed to hear someone calling her.

She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and a blurry figure appeared in front of her. Gradually, it became clear.

It was Marlon.

"Yvette, you’re awake."

Although his voice was trembling, he could not suppress his ecstasy.

Just now, Yvette had been shouting in her dream.

Her helpless and weak appearance made Marlon feel heart-wrenching.

Yvette’s eyes were a little dull, and then she heard her haggard and hoarse voice, "Marlon, he..."

Marlon seemed to instantly understand Yvette’s thoughts. He held her hand tightly and said, "Don’t worry. Lance is still in the rescue. Marvin is also here. He has brought the best specialist group to perform the surgery."

Yvette was at a loss for a second.

She was suspicious of what she had heard.

"You..."

Perhaps because her throat was hurt, Yvette felt pain every time she said. She endured the pain and asked Marlon, "You said Lance is..."

"He won’t die. Marvin said that as long as he can survive these two days, he will be fine."

When Marlon heard her tearing voice, his heart ached.

He quickly answered, saving her from what she wanted to say.

"And the poison that he suffered would likely be detoxified."

Marlon helped Yvette sit up and gave her some warm water to moisten her throat. Without waiting for her to ask, he explained,

"Marvin’s medical experts have developed the composition of the poison. There is one thing left to make the antidote, and this herb is only available from the witches of Iceland.

"It was not easy to get it, but Marvin found a small glass bottle on Lance. It was the medicine that Juliette had hidden for Lance.

"It so happens that the herb is in the composition of the medicine, and now it has been extracted. Lance can eat it after he wakes up."

Yvette felt like she was having a dream again.

The dream she just had was so real that she thought it was reality.

She remembered the cold white cloth, the stiff body, and the heart-wrenching pain.

But now, everything was different.

Did her wish come true?

Was she given another chance to stay with Lance?

Yvette closed her eyes and opened them again. After confirming that everything was real, she looked at Marlon and pointed at her stomach.

Marlon instantly understood. "The babies are fine. It’s just that you are frightened and malnourished. The doctor said that you should lie in bed and rest for a week."

He looked at Yvette’s abdomen, which was already slightly bulging, and said in a gentle voice, "These two little guys are really strong. It seems that they can protect their sister in the future."

Yvette lowered her eyelids, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Marlon asked considerately, "Are you tired? Rest a little longer. I’ll wait outside. If you need anything, call me and I’ll come."

Yvette nodded.

After Marlon left, Yvette silently digested the information.

She wanted to treat her dream as a dream.

However, when she found out about Lance’s death, the heart-wrenching pain made her feel that it was not a dream.

Now, she couldn’t tell what was real and what was fake.

The next day.

Marlon poured a cup of water for Yvette. Then, he heard her gesticulate and say, "That man...?"

He understood. Yvette was asking him about the vicious man.

He said, "According to the police’s current investigation, he should not be one of the Charles family. He seems to be from another organization. This matter is very strange. I am still investigating. I have also sent someone to guard your place. Don’t worry."

Yvette wrote on the paper, "Is that person targeting me?"

Marlon nodded.

Indeed, that killer was not Lance’s enemy, nor was he from the Charles family. He came for Yvette.

It was strange!

Marlon was also investigating the matter.

Yvette was silent.

The pain in her heart was spreading.

The killer indeed targeted her.

And Lance helped her block the disaster.

The room was in dead silence.

Even Marlon could feel that Yvette was more depressed.

It was as if something was on her mind, but she did not want to speak.

Yvette lay in bed for another five days.

During this period of time, she never mentioned Lance.

Marlon found it strange. He thought that when she woke up, she would disregard everything and wouldn’t feel at ease until she saw Lance, even if she was in a wheelchair.

However, Yvette did not mention Lance.

This was not like her.

Marlon had already thought of every excuse to stop her from running around.

But he didn’t need to persuade Yvette.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want her to see Lance, but that Yvette was very weak right now. Lance was still in a bad condition, and no progress had been made right now, so he hadn’t woken up yet.

Even if Yvette went to see him, she would only see him lying on the bed. There was no rush to see Lance right now.

And the most important thing for Yvette now was to take care of the babies.

To Marlon’s surprise, Yvette ate normally and didn’t let him worry about her.

She listened to the doctor and followed the instructions to take care of her health.

It looked like she didn’t care about Lance.

But how could it be? She didn’t know it herself, but Marlon did. When she fell asleep, she was crying in her crying, "No. No..."

That heart-wrenching cry made Marlon feel the pain.

When she woke up, she would ask the nurse to change her tear-soaked pillow so that Marlon would not find out.

Marlon did not know why she changed her pillow every day, but he pretended not to know what she was thinking.

Once, he tried to probe Yvette’s attitude, "If Lance wakes up this time, I won’t object to you two being together."

Lance had risked his life to protect Yvette.

That made him feel that Lance could take care of her.

Moreover, the will, which Lance had withdrawn back then, had been sent out at the same time as the beginning of his fake wedding.

In case he would have an accident, Lance sent the will that was more advantageous to Yvette back to Marlon’s office.

Even that wedding was held in order to eradicate Rod, who threatened Yvette.

After knowing the truth, Marlon knew that Lance really loved Yvette.

He had indeed done everything he had promised Yvette when they were together.

If Lance was safe and sound this time, Marlon would definitely not stop them from being together.

However, Yvette remained silent and didn’t mention Lance.

Marlon could not figure out what she was thinking.

...

In the ten days that Lance was unconscious, the situation was the most dangerous during the first few days. Almost every few hours, the doctor would give notice of critical illness.

Yvette was calm on the surface, and she did not mention Lance.

But on the third night, she secretly went to the ward where Lance was in her wheelchair.

He was in the ICU, and Yvette could not get in.

When she saw Frankie’s busy look and heard the doctor issuing the critical notice, Yvette felt the pain deepen.

She was like a coward now, and she did not dare to hear any news from Lance.

For her, no news was the best news.

She did not dare to imagine what she would become if she heard the bad news.

If she were to experience the scene in her dream again, Yvette did not know if she would be able to survive.

It was too painful.

The situation was critical, as it would affect two people’s lives.

A few days later, Yvette was able to walk on her own, and her condition returned to normal.

During this period of time, under Marlon’s instructions, Ayana accompanied Yvette for every moment.

Ayana told her that Rod was dead. He was killed by Juliette.

And what surprised her the most was that Juliette was also dead.

Because she had no family and her father was dead, Ayana only had one stepmother. But because of Juliette’s viciousness, she was driven away.

When she heard the news, Ayana came back happily.

She agreed to the police having an autopsy on Juliette.

After the examination, the police found that Juliette died of suffocation after being seriously injured and having excessive bleeding.

In fact, Juliette deserved it.

There was much evidence to show that Juliette had done lots of bad things, but she was dead, so the police did not pursue her responsibility.

Juliette’s stepmother did not care about her at all. In the past, she had been bullied by Juliette in the Beckford family.

After knowing what Juliette had done, her stepmother was very glad.

Fortunately, she was smart and ran early. Otherwise, she might have been killed by Juliette.

She did not even want to collect Juliette’s ashes, so she found a bodyguard to throw away Juliette’s ashes.

She did not even buy Juliette a cemetery, which showed how much she hated Juliette.

Although Juliette had a miserable ending, Yvette could not sympathize with her.

She probably had not expected Juliette’s end.

If she could know the future and knew that she would have such a bad ending, Juliette would not make so many mistakes.

As for the investigation of the person who wanted to shoot Yvette, Ayana also found some clues.

That man was also from Iceland.

Iceland...

When Yvette heard this name, she felt deeply strange.

She had never stepped on this island. Who had such a deep hatred for her that they had to kill her?

However, Yvette was not strong enough to investigate the results.

However, Marlon told her not to worry about this. He would investigate this.

After staying in the hospital for nearly half a month, she finally heard the good news.

Lance woke up.

However, he couldn’t get up yet, nor could he speak. Lance could only blink his eyes, unable to express any emotions.

Moreover, he had been poisoned. The injuries on his knee and the gunshot brought about complications. Even if he woke up, they had to be careful.

Marvin deliberated for a while before deciding to give him the antidote on the third day of Lance’s awakening.

If this poison was still in his body, Lance couldn’t have his wounds get healed. The greatest improvement he had done was to open his eyes and blink.

And he could do nothing else.

The day before the operation, Marvin came to see Yvette.

Marvin was still as friendly and interesting as ever. Even if he was extremely worried about Lance’s health, he would not let others feel his anxiety.

And he knew that Yvette had been recuperating, so he didn’t want to let Yvette worry.

They did not have much to talk about. After this experience, Yvette seemed to be even more distant than before.

Marvin had only come to give her reassurance. Before he left, he said, "Yvette, I will definitely save Lance. He will be as good as the same before."

"Thank you for doing so much for him," Yvette said softly.

That night, Yvette once again went to Lance’s ward. Last time, she was in her wheelchair, so she could not see what was inside the ward.

But this time, through the glass window, she saw Lance lying on the bed.

After being unconscious for so many days, Lance had lost much weight. His cheeks were sunken, and he looked a little skinny.

His body was full of countless tubes. He was only awake now, but he was not completely out of danger, so these auxiliary devices could not be removed.

Yvette stared at the glass for a long time.

Even though Lance was much thinner, he was still extremely handsome.

After a long while, Yvette made up her mind.

She silently said in her heart, Lance, I won’t be here for your surgery tomorrow.
