Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 297

Chapter 297 He Was Injured?

Uncle Zhang was still alive, but he had fallen into a coma and had to be sent to the hospital

immediately. As for his legs, both of them might be going to be crippled. “How could this be…” Lyra

couldn’t control her tears and flowed down. Hank grabbed her from behind and held her arm.

“He just went in, and then he would come out to see me. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have pestered him. If I

hadn’t said so much, he wouldn’t have gone in, and he wouldn’t have become like this.” Uncle Zhang

had helped her so many times, but she had harmed him to this extent. Lyra kept crying, her tears

wetting the man’s shirt. He frowned and pulled her into his arms. His fingers were holding Lyra’s neck

from behind, and he said in a deep voice, “This is not something you can stop.” Lyra cried and cried.

That night, the whole town was immersed in the dust of the earthquake. At dawn, everyone

spontaneously helped, either to take care of the children or to help move things. Lyra stood at the door

of Uncle Zhang’s house, looking at the ruins, her eyes still red. “Ms. Jones, please go over there for

breakfast.” Because of the earthquake, the entire village was isolated from the outside world, and the

city’s rescue cars were blocked at the foot of the mountain.

The hospital at the entrance of the village was overcrowded. The scene was extremely desolate.

Lyra listened to Keith and turned her head. “Thank you, but I have no appetite.”

“Ms. Jones, you’d better go over.” Keith lowered his voice and spoke to Lyra again.

Lyra frowned, moved her feet, and slowly and firmly walked towards Hank.

Keith heaved a sigh of relief.

She walked faster and faster until she was in front of Hank. “You’ve been helping the people here all

these years. Why?” “Eat first,” Hank said as he handed her the porridge he had prepared. “You speak

first!” As she spoke, she saw the bearded uncle bring two children over. One of them was the child who

had sent Hank a windmill yesterday.

He was still wearing a hat, covering the scars on his face. His gaze was evasive, not daring to meet

Lyra’s eyes. It was the child who smiled sweetly at Lyra, his ignorant eyes filled with innocence. “After

experiencing this, everyone only wants to get better as soon as possible. If you have anything to ask,

let’s talk about it when we get back.” Lyra held the bowl of porridge and kept silent. How could she not

know that there must be a deep hatred behind all this? In this situation, Lyra was unable to ask. “Not

good, the bridge has collapsed!” Lyra followed everyone’s gaze and looked over. All the cars

transporting supplies had flipped into the river.

In other words, if the road was blocked, all of them would be trapped here. Food would be used up and

medicine would be the rarest!

“There was a problem with the signal tower last night. Now even the only way is broken. What should

we do?”

The people around were all panicked.

With the ruins and wasteland everywhere, the whole village became more and more negative The

villagers who were helping others stopped moving.

In adversity, humanity was exposed the most.

“Mr. Barnwell, there is no signal on the phone at all. According to the intensity of the earthquake last

night, it should not have reached such a level.” Keith pondered. And after the earthquake, the rescue

team should have arrived long ago.

The current situation gave people a very bad feeling. “Someone is behind the scenes.” “In the short

term, we can’t go back.” Hank frowned. The situation was getting worse, to the point where there was

no place to sleep at night.

As the night deepened, the villagers each found their own place.

However, none of them dared to return to the buildings, fearing that there would be another

earthquake. Lyra had no place to go, so she sat in the temporary tent near the inn. In the distance,

Hank walked over, and the moonlight pulled his figure out.

“Here.”

He handed over a can of coffee.

“I don’t want it.” Lyra was stunned.

“You haven’t had any water for the whole afternoon.” “I’m not thirsty,” Lyra said, shaking her head.

“Drink it, or I’ll pour it,” said Hank as he opened the can of coffee.

“You…”

Lyra had no choice but to take it. She took a sip and fell silent.

“Don’t worry about Uncle Zhang. The doctor said that he was just unconscious and his life is not in

danger,” Hank said as he looked at the children in the distance.

His tone sounded very melancholic, very different from his usual style. “You are very concerned about

Uncle Zhang,” Lyra turned to look at him and frowned. Hank nodded, “He is Sister Zhang’s older

brother.” Only now did Lyra remember. No wonder she felt a little familiar when she first met Uncle

Zhang. It was because he looked a little similar to Sister Zhang.

“So you two had known each other for a long time.” Lyra pursed her lips. The guilt in her heart became

even heavier. She had been too impulsive last night to actually say those kinds of words to Uncle

Zhang. If he never woke up again, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. “What do you want to

ask? Go ahead.”

His deep voice entered Lyra’s ears, tugging at her heartstrings. “I won’t ask anymore.” Lyra lowered her

head. The photo had also been burned away. Hank was not from this village. If she asked him, what

could she get? The people beside them stopped moving.

The night deepened. Hank suddenly got up and grabbed Lyra.

“Where are you going?” “If you want to sleep in the wild, I have no objections.” Following his words,

Lyra slowly moved her feet and followed. On the other side, there was a figure hiding behind the inn,

watching them all the time. Lyra was brought to the square behind Hope Primary School. There were

already some villagers gathered here, and some people spontaneously brought some usable bedding.

Hank’s car was parked in the corner.

He opened the car door. The bedding was already prepared inside. “You sleep inside.

I’ll guard outside.” Even if there were any aftershocks, he would ensure her safety. “I won’t…” Lyra

frowned. Before she could finish speaking, she was already pulled over by Hank. The distance

between the two of them suddenly closed, and his voice was low and charming. “Or do you want to

sleep in there with me?” “Don’t talk nonsense,” Lyra suddenly pushed him away.

It was because of him that she was recognized by the bearded uncle as Alma. For a moment, she felt

that this matter was very suspicious. She could only wait until Uncle Zhang woke up to get the answer. NôvelDrama.Org content.

It was just a light push, but unexpectedly, Hank did not move for a long time. He looked like he was

enduring some pain.

“Mr. Barnwell!” Keith ran over from the side and said worriedly, “You still have injuries on your back.” He

was injured? Only now did Lyra remember that when Hank rescued her from the hotel, something was

not quite right.

“It’s fine.” He raised his head, his eyes fixed on Lyra, and there was a forced smile on his thin lips.

In the next second, he fell down.
