Chapter 216
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 hourster,
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 apany 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 nced 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.
“Hank went to thepany. Maybe he doesn’t want to see me. It just so happens that I don’t want to
see him. Sister Zhang, what do you want to eat this morning?” Lyra squeezed out a smile. Lyra tried
her best to act as normal as possible. “Let’s go back and eat. I’ll steam the buns for you, okay?” Sister
Zhang said with a smile.
But she could not be discharged yet! “Sister Zhang, the people in the hospital said that you can only be
discharged after Hank has signed it. But he is not here now and we can’t go through the discharge
formalities.” Lyra reluctantly found a reason. Sister Zhang was stunned for a while and seemed to
believe it. “I’ll go to the hospital restaurant to take a look. You rest first. I’ll be back soon.” Lyra waved
her hand with a smile and quickly walked out.
She really didn’t know what to say to Sister Zhang.
The phone vibrated. It was a message from Hank.
It was a very detailed exnation of Sister Zhang’s preferences and the things she should take care of.
Lyra’s pupils trembled slightly. That man was not cold. He was taking care of Sister Zhang in his own
way. If he was too considerate, Sister Zhang would probably dodge and refuse. That was why he had
maintained his usual alienation. Lyra held her phone and replied, “Got it.”
Before sending it out, she hesitated again and again before adding, “Don’t worry.” At this time, in the
car heading to the airport, the man looked at the phone screen and unconsciously curled his lips.
Lyra had never been so gentle to him.
He flipped through the messages she had sent over from two years ago. “Hank, are youing back
for dinner tonight?” “Hank, Dad’spany seems to have a problem. Can you help him?”
“Hank…”
Without exception, he had never replied.
Hank’s heart suddenly fell under the ice. When Drake had an ident, how helpless would she have
been?
The man tightened his grip on his phone. He had used that marriage to achieve his goal, but it had also
truly destroyed Lyra’s entire life.
How could she not hate him? Hank choked as if something was pressing on his chest, making him
unable to breathe.
Lyra apanied Sister Zhang in the hospital for a day. When she went out to buy food at night, she
identally met Lucy. There was only Sean behind her. Seeing Lyra, Lucy immediately walked over.
“Lyra, why are you in the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?” “My… my friend is in the hospital.” “Auntie,
why are you in the hospital?” asked Lyra. “I’ve been feeling unwelltely, so I came over for a physical
examination.” Lucy held Lyra’s hand, refusing to let go no matter what. “Recently, Nore has been busy
with thepany matters. Did he neglect you? Don’t mind it. After a while, when he has sorted out
those things, it will not be like this.” Of course, Lucy could feel Lyra’s alienation towards her. It was far
less intimate and enthusiastic than when Nore was hospitalized. Lyra shook her head when she heard
this. “Auntie, it’s not like that. Maybe Nore didn’t tell you. I told him…”
