Chapter 138
Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 138 At the Flynn residence, Yvetteâs feelings of unease over the past few days were finally confirmed. She clutched the hairpin in her handâa pair of tortoiseshell clips she had just found under Howardâs pillow.
âThese arenât mine. So whose are they? First, there were pictures of a girl, and now a hairpin.â Yvetteâs eyes were red, tears filling them as she finally lost control of her emotions. âWhose are these, Howard?â
Howard lowered his gaze, refusing to respond. Although he couldnât speak much right now, it was clear he was avoiding any interaction.
Yvette let out a bitter laugh, on the verge of a breakdown.
âOh right, I forgot that you canât talk yet. Fine, Iâll ask questions and you just nod or shake your head, okay?â Her tone shifted as she continued, âTell me, do you have feelings for another woman?â
Howard stayed the same, eyes downcast, not looking at her or responding.
Yvette was completely enraged. She suddenly reached out, cupping Howardâs face, forcing him to look at her. âAnswer me. Yes or no? Is it that hard?â
Howardâs eyebrows furrowed deeply, his lips pressed tightly together, with a look in his eyes she couldnât quite read.
At that moment, Yvette was almost convinced he had someone else. âBut when did this happen? Heâs been in a coma for so many years, and it couldnât have been then. So, it must have been a few years ago.
Yvette stiffened, her back tensing. She gritted her teeth, eyes blazing with fury. âHave you been fair to me? Huh? When you were with her, did you ever consider me, Howard?â
Howard lowered his gaze, his breathing unintentionally quickening.
âWho is she?â Yvette cried out, grabbing his collar. âIâm asking you. Donât act like you donât know. Tell me. If you could send Hervey to find her, how can you not even say her name?â
âOh no!â Miranda, who had been outside the door, couldnât hold back any longer. She rushed in, pulling Yvette away. âYvette, calm down. Howard is still a patient.â
Yvette sobbed, pointing accusingly at Howard. âDonât you want to ask him what heâs done to me?â
âAlright, alright, Iâll ask right away.â Miranda was visibly stressed as she looked at Howard. âHoward, this is just a misunderstanding, right? If you canât explain it, maybe ask Hervey to come and clear things up?â
However, Howard finally reacted. He shook his head very slowly yet firmly in the wheelchair as he uttered just one word, âNo...â
âHoward, you jerk.â Yvette was overwhelmed. She rushed to the window. âSo youâre not going to talk, huh? Sneaking her hair clip and I touching it countless times a day, right? Fine.â She flung her arm up and threw the hair clip right out the window.
âNoâ Howardâs voice was surprisingly clear. Even more astonishing, he stood up straight from his wheelchair, trying to rush to the window. But obviously, he couldnât do that right now. With a loud crash, he fell heavily onto the floor.
âHoward, are you alright?â Miranda was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurried to help him up. Then she looked up at Yvette. âYvette, canât you just talk things out? You know he is still sick.â
âMiranda... Yvette sobbed, her eyes brimming with tears.
Maranda sighed helplessly, I understand you. But everything hasnât been sorted out yet, right?â
Hasnât been sorted out? Yvette sneered silently. Couldnât Miranda see how anxious Howard was about that hairpin. To say thereâs nothing between ham and the owner of the hairpin is just fooling everyone!
âCaregiver Miranda called out âCome in here, quick. Howard has fallen.â
The door swung open, and Josiah came in with the caregiver. âWhatâs going on?â Josiah asked, taken aback. He then quickly went over. With his ang arms, be slipped his arm under Howardâs and helped him up.
With a hard Howard steadied himself and slowly got into the wheelchair. Once he was settled, he pressed the button and wheeled himself gemat t the s âCâ Jones was completely in the dark about what was happening. He looked at Howard and then at Yvette. âWhatâs going on? Where is 1/2 Exclusive Prod 6:55 Chapter 138 Howard going?â
âOh no.â Miranda was anxious and quickly followed Howard. âLetâs catch up with him first.â
The group made their way downstairs to the garden. Miranda had a hunch about what Howard was up to, so she called Linda and the servants to join him in the search. Everyone was there, except Yvette.
âLetâs look for a couple of hairpins. What do they look like? Well, letâs start searching first. After all, theyâre just things girls use,â Miranda said.
Josiah was surprised. âAre you saying Howard...â
Miranda sighed and nodded. âIâm not sure about all the details, but...â
âJust look at him. Iâm afraid it might be true.â She pointed at Howard, who was focused on finding the hairclip. She never expected that Howard, who never gave her any worries, would end up doing something like twoâtiming.
Miranda sighed again. âIf he had told me earlier he liked someone else, would I have tried to pair him with Sienna? Itâs such a pity.â
Josiah was too shocked to find the words. âTwoâtiming? Howard?
After two whole hours, they only found one.
âHoward.â Mirandaâs heart ached for her grandson. âYouâre tired. Go back and rest. Iâll have them continue looking for the other one, okay?â
Howard frowned, holding the hairclip in his hand, not willing to agree.
Josiah was worried too and advised, âThe hairclip is definitely at the Flynn residence. Itâs just a matter of time before we find it. Your health is important. If you donât rest, Grandma wonât rest either. Just do it for her, alright?â
These words touched Howard. He furrowed his brow, hesitated for a moment, then nodded. âOkay.â
âQuick. Take Howard back to his room,â Miranda instructed.
Grandma, let me do it,â Josiah cut in.
After settling Howard in, Josiah came out of his room and bumped into Yvette. âYvette,â he called.
Yvette crossed her arms and looked directly at him. âBe honest, do you know about that woman?â

ï¤Chapter 1750 The Flynn brothers always shared everything. Before anything happened to Howard, the person he trusted most was Josiah, and Josiah was definitely a brotherâs keeper.
Josiah shook his head helplessly. âI really donât know. He never mentioned it. There must be a misunderstanding. Heâs not that kind of person.*
âHmph. Yvette didnât believe him at all. âNot telling me, huh? Fine, keep it hidden. Letâs see if you can keep it a secret forever.â
