Chapter 8 Lance Sees Her Vomit Yazmin thought, fortunately, I thought of a good answer beforehand.
By saying that there was a problem with my wheelchair, I was actually setting a trap for Yvette. If Yvette said that I was the one who framed her, Lance would deem her wicked regardless.
How smart I am!
Yazmin was very displeased since Lance would never question her because of another woman in the p ast.
But now? Yazmin found that Lance had changed.
Actually, Yazmin was just venturing a bit just now. She would never frame Yvette with such a stupid tric k. If there was a target, she would have someone else deal with that for her.
And at the thought that Lance had slept with Yvette for three years, Yazmin pricked her fingernails deep into her palms, her beautiful face twisting in anger.
For those who slept with Yazminâs man, Yazmin would never let them off.
The air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.
Lance was looking at Yvette with a gloomy expression as he asked, âAre you pregnant?â
Then, he said mercilessly, âGet rid of it.â
âNo!â
Yvette cried out in alarm and jerked open her eyes, cold sweat dripping down.
Everything around her was white.
She was in the hospital, and it had been just a dream.
Yvette calmed herself down.
At that moment, the door opened, and then a man came in The man had a slender figure and a handsome face. There was a pair of narrow goldâ
rimmed glasses on his nose, making him look even more elegant and charming.
Yvette never expected to see Charlie here.
She, a bit stunned, asked in a daze, âCharlie, why are you here?â
âI met Ellen in the garage. She was caught up in some friction with someone there and couldnât drive h er car out. Therefore, she asked me to come to you.â
Charlie explained in a calm voice.
Yvette touched her belly. What she was most worried about now was the baby.
She wanted to ask Charlie, but then she hesitated. âMy..
âDonât worry. Your doctor has examined you. The baby is fine.â Charlie replied in a gentle voice.
Yvette let out a sigh of relief: âThank you, Charlie.â
âI didnât expect you to get married so early,â Charlieâs eyes dimmed for a second before he asked. âDo
you want to call your husband?â
âDonât bother.â Yvette shook his head.
âWhy?â Charlie was puzzled.
ââ¦â Yvette was at a loss for how to answer.
Charlie thought, could it be that there is another woman?
Noticing that Yvette remained silent, Charlie did not insist. Instead, he asked with concern, âHow are yo u feeling now?â
Charlie could tell that Yvette was not herself now, which worried Charlie a bit.
âIâm fine.â Yvette suppressed her depression and looked up at Charlie. âCan I add you as my contact in Line?â
Charlie stiffened for a second.
Yvette hurried to explain a bit, âThat way, I can contact you and have your bank account. I need to transfer my medical fee to you.â
âYou were in my contact,â Charlie interrupted her.
âWhat?â
Charlie took out his phone, opened the application, and handed his phone to Yvette. âBut you blocked
me.â
Yvette was embarrassed.
She looked at Charlieâs Line account, which was named âCharlieâ. Now she could remember this accou nt, which had texted her before, wishing her âHappy New Yearâ.
She then asked the texter who it was. The texter replied with Charlieâs name.
Yvette, stunned, thought that it was just a cyber fraud. That was because Charlie was abroad back then .
Also, Charlie was basically a celebrity. Why would a person like him want to add Yvette as a friend?
Therefore, Yvette blacklisted him decisively.
Unexpectedly, that was really Charlieâ¦
There was an awkward silence.
Then Yvette said with a face full of guilt, âIâm sorry. I didnât know it was you. I thought it was a fraud⦠Iâll add you now.â
But then, Yvetteâs phone powered off automatically.
Yvette felt even more awkward now.
âItâs fine. Add me while you can later.â Charlie seemed to be in a good mood, the smile on his lips deep ening, âNow have some rest. Ellen will be here soon.â
Charlieâs gentle smile was warm, delivering a feeling of spring. That made Yvette think of the days whe n they were at university. Then Yvetteâs face cracked into a smile.
âCharlie!â
Noticing that Charlie was leaving, Yvette called out to him and said, after hesitating a bit, âCan you kee p the baby a secret for me?â
If Ellen knew that she was pregnant, she would probably kill her way to Lance right off.
Yvette didnât want to be humiliated by Lance and Yazmin anymore.
Charlie didnât ask any further. Instead, he nodded.
Then he left. And when he closed the door of the ward, Charlie glanced at Yvette a bit, who was lying o n the bed. It seemed that there was something complicated in Yvetteâs eyes, which were very simple and gen tle before.
Then, he turned and left.
On the bedside cabinet, there was a B ultrasound image of Yvetteâs baby. The blurry black dot in it was
magical to Yvette. Actually, Yvette had thought of aborting the child before.
She doubted if it was right to give birth to the baby, who was unexpected.
But for some reason, she felt frightened and unwilling when she was in pain, learning that she might los e the baby.
The child had done nothing wrong.
And she wanted to protect this child.
Moreover, it seemed that the baby was rather tough to survive the fall. That made Yvette want to keep
her even more.
She had to give birth to the baby and give the baby a sheltered upbringing.
Soon, Ellen arrived at the hospital. And since Yvette was all right except for a few wounds, Ellen then brought Yvette back home.
In the car, Ellen, who didnât know the truth, cursed, âLance is an asshole! He should be around now. Bu t where is he anyway?â
When they arrived at Yvetteâs place, Yvette ordered a serving of chicken soup and brought it home.
But after she opened the door, despite the house being pitch black, she keenly felt that there was someo there.
Yvetteâs heart jolted as she was ready to leave since, as she was told, some burglars had broken into he neighborâs house recently.
Before she could actually leave, she sensed that the black shadow was approaching her.
Yvette hurried to smash the food in her hand toward the black shadow.
The next thing she knew, her wrist was grabbed, and she was unable to move.
A crack sounded.
Then the light was turned on.
In front of her, there was a handsome man.
The man was the one who Ellen called âassholeâ just now Lance looked at her with a cold and seductive look in his eyes. Then he said nonchalantly, âAre you tryin murder your husband?â
He was joking.
However, Yvette found that earâpiercing anden somewhat ironic.
Then Lance let go of her hand, took the food from her hand, and threw it into the trash can.
âDonât eat that. Iâve ordered you a meal, which will be there in a while.â
Yvette, tired and hungry, looked at the soup in the trash can. She didnât have the strength to speak now.
For a moment, she felt like she was just like the soup which had been thrown into a bin by Lance.
âDonât bother. Iâm tired. Please go home now, Mr. Wolseley,â she said coldly.
And without even looking at him, she walked into the bedroom. But Lance grabbed her arm when she pa âIt was urgent at that time. I didnât intend to push you away.â He looked at her and lowered his tone.
Yvetteâs eyelashes fluttered, and her heart jolted because of his gentleness.
But she knew that it was all an illusion.
Lanceâs voice had always been cold and gentle.
It was so gentle that it could make Yvette fall for him very easily. And then, it would become cold again, h The two of them were close. Yvetteâs breath was filled with Lanceâs pleasant scent. But then, Yvette noticed that, amidst the smell, there was a faint scent that only belonged to a woman.
It was exactly the same scent as Yazminâs, which Yvette smelled in the afternoon.
Then the image of Yazmin and Lance entangling with each other appeared in Yvetteâs mind. Due to that After vomiting, Yvette felt better.
Then she washed her face a bit and was about to go out. But Lance blocked her way out. Grabbing her hand, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, âWhat is the matter?â
