Chapter 174: Because I’ve Already Known Yvonne’s Brain Cancer
"Yvonne, what are you doing?
"Come on. You can’t stand there silently on such an important occasion! My song! My song! If you don’t know what to say, just sing!" Ralph frantically told her.
And she saw that Hannah was also gazing at her carefully at this moment.
Hannah probably knew that Yvonne was Zachary’s wife, so she looked at Yvonne with timidity.
"Yvonne?"
The host had been embarrassed for a long time.
It was then that Yvonne returned to her senses and smiled.
"Uh... I don’t wanna say anything about the award. I wanna sing a special song to thank all of my fans who have been supporting me."
"Okay!" The host was in a cold sweat by now, but luckily Yvonne came back to her senses in the end.
"Then let’s enjoy Yvonne’s new song ’Vallisneria’!"
Vallisneria
It was a song written by Yvonne and Ralph together.
It was also the only song she wrote.
Vallisneria was known by its bitterness, which grew in water.
It was a special plant.
When it bred, it produced both male and female flowers.
To get the sunshine, vallisneria would send its female flowers above the water by stretching its stems.
When the male flowers matured, they would fly in the air to meet the female flowers.
Then vallisneria returned to the water and then quietly produced seeds.
...
She sang the song of "Vallisneria" so as to thank Zachary and her fans.
In this life, she was like the vallisneria, reaching out from the water to spend joyful days with them.
She hoped that they won’t feel sad when she left.
She merely went to another world; she didn’t really disappear.
...
It was a lyrical song. The tune was beautiful and the lyrics were impressive.
There were many people in the room, but no one made a sound as she sang.
It seemed that everyone was intoxicated with the song. Zachary, who always had an indifferent face, looked at her quietly with mixed feelings.
Finally, the performance reached its climax.
Yvonne sang movingly.
It was the last time she would sing for them.
She wanted to do her best.
Her beautiful song touched a deep chord with audience.
Countless people stood up to witness this unforgettable moment!
Finally the song ended.
But the atmosphere remained unchanged.
There was silence for a long time.
Several minutes later.
Even those celebrities shouted like Yvonne’s fans, "Encore! Encore!" But it was her last song.
There would be no more encores.
"Thank you all."
On the stage, Yvonne couldn’t hold back her tears of joy. "Actually... this is my last song. Thank you guys for liking me. "I..."
However, she quivered on the stage!
"By..."
She barely finished her words.
In a second.
Zachary’s expression changed.
Soon.
Her splendid dress rustled.
The microphone dropped. She fell to the floor!
...
Yvonne was in coma.
It wasn’t very high where she fell. The accident caused chaos.
Thousands of fans prayed for Yvonne.
After Yvonne was taken to the hospital, the doctor judged that it was a minor fracture and no cranial injury. It was not serious.
The venue was not as grand as that of a concert.
If she fell form the high stage, then she would have been dead.
In the hospital.
Zachary, standing at the door, was distracted.
She broke up with him and wanted to divorce.
But he was still worried about her when she was injured.
It wasn’t a long time since they were apart.
When Yvonne arrived at the hospital, paparazzi and other unrelated people were blocked out.
There were a few bodyguards and Zachary.
Just then, a young girl in a long light blue dress hurried down the hallway.
Hannah had changed into casual clothes, but she hadn’t removed her makeup yet.
She looked worried.
"How is... Miss Taylor?"
Zachary didn’t expect her to come here. He frowned at the bodyguards behind her.
The bodyguard explained, "I thought Miss Conley was..."
Zachary interrupted him to answer Hannah’s question.
"The doctor said the injuries weren’t serious. The cause of coma will be investigated further and thoroughly."
Hannah pursed his lips.
She knew that Zachary loved Yvonne and that he wouldn’t like an ordinary girl like her. She didn’t have the confidence to chase Yvonne’s husband.
But she knew that Zachary had argued with Yvonne recently.
Hannah was an insignificant poster girl of a subsidiary of the Leinster Group.
Of course, Zachary didn’t know about her much.
But Zachary wanted to see Yvonne.
Thus he accompanied Hannah, but in fact, it was just an excuse to see Yvonne.
He even had prepared flowers for Yvonne, although he couldn’t personally go on stage to send flowers to her. He had informed the workers that when she finished her song, there would be flower petals falling down.
No sooner had he given the surprise to her, she fell to the floor.
"Mr. Leinster, please eat something. You haven’t eaten anything yet. You should refresh yourself by having some food. When Mrs. Leinster wakes up, you won’t feel weak."
Zachary didn’t want to leave, but he thought that Yvonne might be hungry when she woke up.
He knew that Yvonne usually didn’t eat anything before the performance.
He thought, "She certainly hasn’t eaten food tonight either. I really should have prepared some food for her."
Mr. King smiled and came forward to ask Zachary, "Mr. Leinster, what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you."
"No, I’ll get some food myself." Zachary knew what food Yvonne liked, so he went downstairs after saying that.
...
After Zachary went downstairs, Mr. King and some bodyguards were in the corridor, as well as Hannah.
Mr. King glanced at Hannah.
It was the second time that he had met Hannah. At the first sight, he knew that she was different from both Jessica and Marilyn.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with Zachary. Her clothes were terribly plain and simple. But she seemed not to care much about it.
In short, she was different from those well-dressed celebrities.
"Miss Conley, you should go back. It gets dark," Mr. King said.
"Okay."
Hannah nodded politely. She didn’t have to stay here.
If she didn’t wear the makeup, some people would take her as a student.
"I called a cab, but it’s raining. There are about fifty people waiting in line. I don’t have an umbrella, so I just wait here now."
Mr. King nodded, thinking that Hannah was a really decent girl.
She stayed here merely because she couldn’t get a cab.
Out of courtesy, Mr. King said, "I have an umbrella in the trunk of my car. If you don’t mind using mine, I could bring it to you."
"Ah, Mr. King, thanks but... "
"It’s not far away, just in basement."
He wouldn’t get wet anyway because he has a car, but Hannah would have trouble getting a taxi on a rainy day.
It was purely out of kindness.
In the end, Hannah couldn’t stop him, and he went downstairs to get an umbrella.
Just then, the doctor in the office came out.
"Who is Yvonne’s family member?"
Zachary hadn’t returned yet, and no one responded to the doctor for a while.
The doctor looked around and found some bodyguards and a girl standing in the corridor. Then the doctor said to Hannah, "Are you Yvonne’s family? Come in with me."
"Ah... I..." Hannah was about to explain.
The doctor said sternly, "The patient’s cancer has spread throughout her body. You, as her family, let her participate in so many activities!?"
Hannah was stunned.
Hannah was dumbfounded when she heard the doctor’s words.
She came out of the office with Yvonne’s radiology report in her hand.
The doctor’s last words haunted her.
"The patient doesn’t have many days left, so you and other family members should try to fulfill her wishes. Besides, don’t let her work exhaustingly anymore."
...
She couldn’t believe what she’d just heard.
She thought, "Yvonne is only 20 years old. How can..."
Just then, she saw Zachary, who had just returned from the convenience store.
Hannah was anxious. <Zachary must not know that Yvonne has such a serious illness; otherwise, he wouldn’t still be at odds with her.
But I got Yvonne’s report in private. He would definitely be angry.>
Hannah was so scared that in the midst of the confusion, she threw the stack of reports in her hand into the rubbish bin for hospital’s hazardous waste!
At this moment, Hannah completely lost her mind.
Hannah was checking his phone. When he looked up, he saw Hannah standing stiffly in the doorway of the ward.
He put the phone back into his pocket and walked over.
"What’s wrong?"
...
"Oh..."
She couldn’t clarify it anymore.
She didn’t know how to explain that she threw the medical reports in the bin.
If she claimed that she did it by accident, nobody would believe it. Zachary would definitely think she deliberately hid Yvonne’s condition! "I... I..."
"What’s going on?" Zachary asked seriously.
He seemed to be anxious.
She knew Zachary was a tough man, but she hadn’t coped with him yet.
Now she was even more afraid to tell the truth.
Hannah didn’t know how to explain.
Just at the critical moment, a voice interrupted them.
"Quickly! Prepare to resuscitate!"
The team of nurses and doctors all rushed out at once.
They took Yvonne all the way into the resuscitation room.
The milk and sandwich in Zachary’s hand fell to the floor at once.
"What’s wrong with her? Didn’t the doctor just say it is only a minor fracture?" The doctor looked at him sternly and reproachfully.
"As her family member, you even don’t know that her cancer has spread throughout her body. Get out of the way. Don’t delay the last resuscitation!"
Cancer spread all over her body.
Zachary stumbled backwards as if he lost his soul.
What...
How could it be...
Hannah, who witnessed this scene, didn’t know what to do, nor did she know how to comfort Zachary.
"Mr. Leinster?"
"Where is the medical report?" Zachary thought of something and he turned back to
look at Hannah.
"Did the doctor give you the report?!"
"I... Mr. Leinster, I’m sorry..."
Hannah was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
Just then, Zachary opened the bin behind her, and he saw a document inside! He picked up it, turned his head, and looked at Hannah. His look was scary.
"I am sorry. I did not mean to..." Hannah was so frightened that she cried and stepped back.
"Why did you throw it away, huh?"
The man’s voice was low and gruff.
It was creepy.
"Mr. Leinster, I didn’t mean to..." Hannah stepped back, trembling.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "You’ve been deliberately keeping this from me, haven’t you?"
He almost lost his mind now. He even forgot that he met Hannah for the first time today.
He couldn’t believe that he hadn’t noticed Yvonne’s condition at all!
"Haven’t you?"
He let out a stern cry, and Hannah was scared out of her mind.
"No! No! I didn’t...."
When Mr. King came back, he saw this scene unexpectedly.
Mr. King didn’t have time to figure out what had happened when he left. He saw another man rush up to take Zachary away, who was almost mad.
"Zachary, get your head out of your ass!"
Finn was supposed to be in Lani, but he also watched the live stream of the Grammy Awards.
As a result, when he saw what happened to Yvonne on the television, he came here overnight.
Zachary saw Finn’s face and got more furious.
He looked at Finn coldly, and scolded Finn, "Why do you come here? Yvonne is my wife. What are you doing here?"
Finn frowned.
"Because I’ve already known Yvonne’s brain cancer."
