Chapter 2774

“I can‘t promise you that now,” Yannie replied. She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with despair and
helplessness when she gazed into Thomas‘ eyes. “Perhaps you wouldn‘t be able to digest it all if you
were in my stead. I‘m sorry.

After a deep sigh, she curled up her lips into a bitter smile. “I can‘t lie to you nor lie to myself.”

She thought Thomas would get mad, feel helpless, and despair with her after what she said. However,
that was not what happened. Instead, Thomas curled up his lips and smiled, gazing into her eyes with
his frail ones, “Alright, I respect your wishes. As long as…”

After a short pause, he continued looking at her with a smile. “As long as you stay with me, that‘s
enough. If there comes a time you want to leave me and Riley, I hope you can tell me. Don‘t just go
without saying goodbye. I won‘t force you to stay.”

After all, he was a fool to have fallen into Tina and Denise‘s trap. Therefore, he had no right to stop
Yannie, no matter what decision she made.

It was as she had said. Thinking from her perspective, Thomas could not possibly pretend nothing
happened and continue to be with him. He could accept Yannie leaving him because of that incident,
as long as she was not sad or upset. Clearly, Yannie did not expect to receive that answer from
Thomas. She was stunned and did not know what to say.

“Let‘s go.” Thomas curled up his lips and walked over to her to hold her hand. “Let‘s head back to the
hospital together with me. I‘m feeling a little dizzy.” Yannie snapped out of her daze not long after as
she quickly held Thomas‘ hand. “Alright.” After that, they got into the car hand–in–hand to head back to
the hospital where Thomas got treated.



Meanwhile, far away in the hospital, Dan was standing by the window looking at Thomas and Yannie
leaving together hand–in–hand. He furrowed his brow vehemently.

“Mom.” He looked back angrily at Tina. “That guy manages to coax that woman. Is there any news from
Denise?”

Tina sat on the chair as she scrolled through her call log on the phone with a frown. There were several
call histories where she called Denise, but Denise did not pick up any of the calls.

‘Did something happen to her? The maids at home did tell me Denise managed to complete her task.
The maids even heard the voices of Denise and Thomas when they were in the room together. Yannie
heard it too,‘ she thought.

After getting the maid‘s report, Tina was momentarily pleased. She thought that since Denise had
succeeded, Thomas and Yannie were over for sure. As long as Denise was pregnant with Thomas‘
child, she would get more benefits when Denise became Thomas‘ wife. Her life would be secure, even
if the old geezer could not defeat Thomas and let Thomas take the bigger proportion of the family‘s
wealth. However, it had been nearly ten hours since the incident. Not only did they lose contact with

Denise, but Thomas and Yannie miraculously got back together, much to Tina‘s chagrin. When Tina
stayed quiet, Dan looked at the ward his father was staying in while feeling annoyed and anxious.
“Mom, do you think Denise betrayed us?”

His father was talking with Mr. Zink in the room. “Do you really think the old geezer will sue Thomas for
causing intentional injury? Why am I getting a feeling that he‘s not doing that?” Tina stared at Dan
coldly. “His imbecile son shot him. He won‘t let him off the hook.” She furrowed her brow and walked
toward Senior Howard‘s ward.



To be honest, she was not that certain herself. The old geezer was quite weird after waking up today.
“Senior Howard.” When Tina was just at the door, she heard Mr. Zink‘s voice from the ward.” Are you
sure you want to transform everything under your name to your eldest son Thomas Howard, and not
leaving a dim to your wife, Tina Chevy, and your son, Dan Howard?” Tina‘s eyelids blew wide open in
shock. ‘What? That old geezer—! Followingly, Senior Howard replied, despite being physically ailing,
“Yes, I‘m sure. Just write that down.”
