Chapter 639: An Irreplaceable Person

On the other side, Ryan no longer stays in the ward every day like before. He only comes at night, only
two or three days a week, not very often.

Both Lorraine and Thomas notice his change. They didn't think too much at first. Eunice has already
been like this. The one who survives always has to work harder to live. However, as time goes by, they
feel more or less uncertain.

It is easy for them to think of the most pessimistic point.

Could it be that Eunice has been unable to wake up, so he wants to give up, or perhaps he is
discouraged?

However, he always constantly pays all of the medical expenses on time. The hospital has never urged
them because of the money. Dean Karl is also very sympathetic and always provides them with the
best environment.

Lorraine is very grateful for all of this, so even if Ryan isn't here, she won't complain at all.

Thomas isn't as calm as his mother. Seeing Ryan's attitude, he feels somewhat resisted. After all, Ryan
is also responsible for what has happened to his sister. Although Ryan has already done his best,
Thomas ... somehow still feels it worthless for Eunice.

He is afraid that Ryan will ignore his sister and forget her.

Therefore, late at night, near twelve o'clock, Thomas deliberately waits at the underground garage of
the hospital. He recognizes Ryan's car and stands beside it.

He holds a standing posture for a long time, so his legs ache. Finally, he sees a familiar figure walking
out of the elevator.



Ryan walks over alone, with no assistant or bodyguard following behind him. He is covered by a sense
of loneliness.

Seeing Thomas here, Ryan is not surprised. Before Thomas speaks, Ryan directly asks, "Let's have a
drink?"

Thomas' preparatory remarks are broken off by the sudden 'invitation' and he answers without any
hesitation, "Alright."

After getting in the car, Ryan drives him out of the hospital. When waiting for the traffic lights, Ryan
says in the deep voice, "It's so late. Why don't you go back to school?"

Thomas ponders for a moment and then says very straightforwardly, "I came specifically to find you."

Ryan smiles briefly and nods his head gently, not saying anything.

After the short conversation, they fall into silence again. A mature businessman, a young student, they
know each other because of Eunice. They originally have nothing to talk with each other. But strangely,
this kind of silence doesn't make them feel unbearable. Instead, it gives them an indescribable comfort.

Instead of desperately searching for a topic, they prefer this straightforward silence.

Thomas originally thinks that Ryan will take him to an up-scale club, but unexpectedly, Ryan just buys a
dozen of imported beer when passing by a convenience store. Finally, he parks his car by the river.

The ceiling of the car can be opened, and without any cover, they can see a few starlight in the night
sky. Although it is not extremely beautiful, it is really rare in this kind of urban life.

Ryan adjusts the seat backward and points to Thomas' side. "There's a button over there."

Only then did Thomas notice that. He adjusts the seat backward as Ryan said.



Ryan takes two cans of beer. His index finger hooks up the ring of the can, and his thumb and middle
finger press against the can. A crisp sound is especially pleasant at this night.

He hands it to Thomas, who takes it. Looking at the opening of the can, Thomas suddenly feels a little
distracted. Not knowing what he is thinking, he directly raises his head and drinks a large mouthful of
beer.

Ryan sees Thomas' movements in the corner of his eyes but doesn't stop him. He opens his can and
slowly drinks it. It is clearly beer, but he drinks nobly like tasting the red wine.

They drink at their own pace without saying a word. They don't even touch glasses. There is no dish to
go with the beer. They're just lost in thought. At this moment, they want nothing but to indulge
themselves in alcohol and erase the bitterness in their hearts.

Thomas' drinking capacity is naturally inferior to Ryan's. He drinks hurriedly and quickly. Not long after,
he is a little drunken. His clean and delicate face turns red, and he still has a little rationality. However,
as being drunken, he has the guts to ask, "Mr. Ryan, have you been especially busy with your work
recently?"

Ryan leans against the back of the seat with a gloomy expression. He suddenly says, "Do you want to
ask me why I don't come to see your sister?"

Thomas subconsciously holds the can more tightly. Knowing that Ryan knows what he is thinking,
Thomas is shocked and embarrassed. "You actually know?"

At Ryan's age, how can he not be able to know what a teenager is thinking? However, he still gives
Thomas some dignity. "What do you think? Tell me."

Thomas thinks of the possibilities that he has guessed these days. Although he is a little embarrassed
to speak, he thinks of his sister, who is still in bed and still hasn't woken up, so he forces himself to say



it.

Perhaps Thomas feels exposed in front of Ryan and although he usually talks little, he now starts to
talk endlessly. Ryan doesn't interrupt him and listens quietly. Finally, Ryan says, "Do you think I want to
give up and ignore her?"

Thomas doesn't answer, but he raises his head and stares at Ryan.

Thomas is only eighteen or nineteen years old and still young, but the expression in his eyes at this
moment is extremely firm and clear.

Ryan looks at Thomas' eyes and says seriously, "If I want to give up, do you think you can stop me?"

Thomas is stumped by his question. He thinks for a long time and doesn't say anything. Ryan is right. If
he wants to give up, no one can stop him.

"You still don't know about my relationship with your sister, do you?" Before Thomas can regain his
senses, Ryan says slowly, "We haven't known each other for too long. It was an accident to know her.
We didn't even disclose each other's intentions before the accident."

Hearing this, Thomas is extremely shocked, because these words are completely different from what
his mother told him.

"Not everything I told your mother is the truth." Seeing his doubts, Ryan bluntly says, "Even if I told her
all the truth, she still wouldn't accept it."

Thomas is still stuck in the shock. "What is the relationship between you and my sister?"

What's the relationship?



This sentence makes Ryan remain silent for a short time. As he thinks of the 22-year-old girl and
recalls what has happened not long ago, it is difficult to describe his feeling in a single sentence.

They aren't lovers, nor have they even confirmed their relationship, but the delicate girl became like this
for him when turning around.

Ryan frowns and stares blankly at a certain spot for a long time, and then he says in a hoarse voice,
"Your sister is an irreplaceable person for me."

She made a carefree decision, but Ryan actually made her like this. Ryan doesn't know how much time
it will take him to make up for it, but the only thing he can be sure of is that he wants to make up for it.
He crazily hopes that she will wake up. He has too many words and decisions that he wants her to
know. This thought becomes more and more intense day by day. He doesn't dare to think about it now,
fearing that he will lose control of himself.

Therefore, he doesn't dare to stay in the hospital all the time. He has to fill his life with his work
properly. He has to learn to muddle along. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for everyone.

Thomas looks at the deep man in front of him. It is true that at his age, he won't understand the
profound feelings. However, after hearing the word 'irreplaceable', he understands why his sister falls in
love with such a man.

"Mr. Ryan, forgive my bad manners. I'm just afraid that my sister's efforts will be wasted. I don't want to
see that one day she wakes up, she will see the cruel scene...."

Ryan puts the can to his mouth and drinks the last drop of beer. "There won't be such a day."
