Chapter 279


    Chapter 279 Hard to Predict


    Lyra was frightened by his sudden passion. She shook her head in confusion. “Just pretend that I didn’t


    say anything.” However, when she wanted to escape, it was already toote. A hand grabbed her wrist


    and gently pulled her. She fell into his arms weakly. His hot chest exuded a strong male scent. The


    distance between the two of them suddenly shortened. Lyra could smell his scent when she raised her


    head. For a moment, countless images of the two of them in the middle of the night flooded her mind.


    “Why is your face so hot? Are you ufortable?” His hand caressed the side of her face, his voice


    unbelievably gentle. “…. don’t know.” Lyra shook her head nkly. Why was her heart beating so fast?


    The strange feeling that made her unwilling to leave once again struck her mind. “Hank, why do I feel


    that you are too good to me? You are different from what I remember.”


    The man’s eyebrows suddenly tightened, and the hand that was stroking her cheek suddenly stopped.


    “What is different?” Lyra stretched out her hand and boldly touched the bridge of his nose and


    cheekbones, which went down to his lower jaw. “I always thought that you were a very cold person.


    Moreover, I seemed to have been waiting for you for a long time.” When Lyra said this, she felt that it


    didn’t seem toe from her mouth at all. She also seemed to have be another person. This


    dreamlike illusion made her sigh heavily. “Don’t mind my words. I must be in a daze from sleeping.


    That’s why my thoughts are wandering.”


    After Lyra finished speaking, she looked at the man in front of her tentatively. “Do you think that I am


    confusing?”


    Her carefulness and her lowliness were all written on her face. In that instant, Hank finally realized what


    it was like to be needed by someone.


    It was strange that he did not understand her thoughts earlier. Lyra mustered up the courage to say


    these words, but there was no response for a long time. Her red lips pursed into a line as she muttered,


    “I shouldn’t have said such nonsense.” She had always been looking forward to getting closer to him.


    This man was clearly in


    front of her all day, so what else could she hope for? Lyra looked weak and wanted to get out of his


    arms. But Hank’s hand covered her fingertips. “I’m very happy to hear you say these things when I


    have the chance.” His deep voice rang in her ears, making her feel unreal. “You’ve been too tired these


    days. You’ll get used to it in a few days. Don’t worry, you can trust me unconditionally.” Hank gently


    stroked the hair on her cheek and lowered his head to kiss her. There was a sh of joy in Lyra’s eyes,


    and she lowered her head shyly. That night, shey on the double bed, looked at the ceiling, and slowly


    closed her eyes. Even when she fell asleep, there was a smile on her lips. The man stood at the door,


    looking at her through the light of the corridor. The phone suddenly rang. He nced at the screen and


    pressed the answer button. “Hank, there are some things that you have to see with your own eyes. It’s


    about Lyra,” Jasper sighed. “Okay, I’ll be there right away.” He drove to the examination agency to meet


    Jasper. There were several experts with Jasper. “They are all my father’s friends. They won’t leak the


    information.” Hank nodded and said, “Let’s get down to business.” “The thing that was testedst time


    might be produced by their examination agency, which is supposed to have positive effects on


    Helmez’s disease. It is still in the clinical trial stage and is to be put into the pharmaceutical market very


    soon.” “Now, they all suspect that Lyra’s brain has already reacted because of this solution.” After


    Jasper finished speaking, he took out a small blue pill. “This is a medicine that restrains the solution,


    but it is also in the clinical trial stage. No one can be sure how effective it is. However, this is the only


    treatment n so far.” “Eating this thing might restore her memory. Might not. Is that what you mean?”


    Hank had never liked uncertain results.


    He was a person who was born to y with all the rules in his hands. Any unknown result would cause


    him to feel repulsed.


    The expert behind Jasper took the initiative to say, “Yes, but if the patient is left alone, maybe the


    medicine will continue to invade her brain cells. The consequences are


    hard to predict.” “Neither of the two results are certain. Then why should I let her body suffer it again?”


    Hank crushed the pill with one hand. “Mr. Barnwell, you are too arbitrary. We are doing this for the sake


    of the patient.” “Then you shouldn’t let such a thing flow into the market!” Hank roared and flipped the


    table. The entire room was silent.


    The experts all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. “Hank, you should think for Lyra.”


    “If not for her, I wouldn’t be standing here right now. There is still no movement from Zhang Min’s side. I


    will give her another day.” After that, it was up to him whether he wanted to overturn the heavens or the


    earth. “Hank, take it easy.” Jasper followed behind and suggested in a low voice. If Hank really got


    angry, no one could stop him. Late at night.


    Lyra had a very long nightmare. She was covered in sweat. She woke up from her dream and saw an


    unfamiliar environment in front of her. She put on her shoes in a panic, opened the door, and ran out.


    The corridor was so deep, so long, and only the dim light of the wallmp emitted a faint light.

    “Hank, Hank.”


    She called his name in a low voice, but as she shouted, her tears could not help but flow down. In the


    nightmare she just had, there was Hank. Her body was as soft as nothing, sliding down the wall.


    She fainted at the door of Hank’s study. After the man was done with his work, he opened the door and


    saw her lying there.


    “Lyra!” It seemed that someone was calling his name by his ear… It was so affectionate, and her voice


    was so tempting that it was bone-piercing. Lyra shook her violently. She really wanted to open her


    eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn’t open them at all. The scene from the nightmare


    rushed in again. With a dagger in hand, Hank stabbed her father in the chest. Blood flowed out, and


    Lyra’s tears flowed down the corner of her eyes.


    “Doctor, the patient is reacting. Her heart rate is rising, and her blood pressure is also rising,” the nurse


    said as she looked at the monitor. “Send her to the operating room immediately.” Then, a nurse


    stopped Hank. “I’m sorry, but the family members are waiting outside.” Hank saw Lyra being pushed in


    with his own eyes. His eyes were filled with anxiety, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. There was


    the sound of high heels behind her. Zhang Min took off her sunsses and stood behind him. “Has Mr.


    Barnwell experienced the feeling of losing his loved one? I think Lyra is quite silly. She wants to take


    revenge on you, but she never thought that the fastest way is to die by herself.”
