"What's wrong? Can't find a way to explain yourself, can you?" Blake stared at Yasmin coldly.Yasmin bit her lower lip. "I gave it to him because I hadn't prepared a gift for him in advance yesterday…""You're full of excuses," Blake simply responded.Yasmin was speechless. Then, she shut her eyes for a while before saying, "Yes, I'm flirtatious, unloyal, and I like giving men gifts. I chose the energy crystal myself, and whoever receives it will be enchanted. "Are you finally satisfied with my answer now?"Blake already had an unpredictable mood, yet Yasmin couldn't help but act rebelliously before him.Their dynamic resembled a rebellious 15-year-old teenager and an old-school elderly.But Yasmin had already made up her mind to say anything that would piss Blake off. And having said them once wasn't enough for her. So, she added, "Luckily, you're not wearing the energy crystal. Otherwise, my wish would've come true. Do you realize how much trouble that would cause me?""
Yasmin jolted in shock again. But unfortunately, she couldn't move at all with Blake holding her down."I gave it out as a gift!" Her voice was filled with grievance.But Blake snorted coldly. "I don't care. You have to take back the energy crystal no matter what."Yasmin shook her head in refusal. She had given it out in the form of a gift, and it would be embarrassing to take it back.But Blake simply continued to torment her when she refused to comply.Yasmin tightly clenched the blanket as sweat broke out on the tip of her nose. In the end, she gave in reluctantly. "Fine, let me go!""You better keep your promise. Don't take my words lightly." Blake then let Yasmin go before putting on a black shirt.Yasmin angrily hit the bed.Blake looked over to her coldly. His gaze made Yasmin shudder. And though she was furious, she didn't dare to argue back. In the end, she simply muttered, "You're so annoying…""What did you say?" Blake glared at her. The intensive gaze gave Y
Yasmin dried her tears and told Mary, "Mary, help me apply the ointment, please.""Okay," Mary replied, caring for Yasmin as if she was a child. Then, she took a cotton bud and applied ointment for her, saying, "Mrs. Ford, be good today. Mr. Ford told you to stay at home and not go anywhere.""Got it," Yasmin replied moodily. It was a Saturday today, so she could afford to do so.…In the afternoon, Blake called Mary to ask about Yasmin.Mary replied, "Mrs. Ford is fine. I've applied the ointment for her, and she's now eating lunch."Yasmin was seated next to Mary, and when she heard Blake on the phone, she said, "Mary, pass the phone to me. I'll talk to him."Mary then passed the phone to Yasmin.However, when Yasmin took the phone, Blake remained silent.Yasmin waited for a bit. Then, feeling slightly anxious, she blurted out, "Mr. B…"Why wasn't Blake saying anything? Did something bad happen?"Hmm?" Blake finally replied."How's Anna?" Yasmin held the phone, suddenly
Yasmin suddenly sat very close to Blake, which surprised him. "Why are you sitting so close to me?" he asked.Yasmin blushed slightly. "It was an accident."Blake decided not to say anything more and merely grunted lightly. Then, he asked, "Have you had your dinner?""Yes, I've eaten. How about you? Did you have your dinner at the hospital?""Yes." Blake seemed tired and gave a small sigh.Yasmin then looked at him anxiously and asked, "How's Anna?""The report will be out tomorrow."Yasmin hummed in response. Then, concerned about Blake being upset, she gently murmured, "Don't be too worried. Anna will be fine." As Yasmin spoke, she hugged Blake as if to comfort him. Blake's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly lifted his hand and hugged Yasmin's slim waist. "Thank you for comforting me."But Yasmin simply continued silently hugging him. Then, Blake suddenly asked, "How's your bottom? Is it still painful?"Yasmin felt embarrassed as she replied, "It's much better afte
When Blake brought this up, Yasmin instantly felt a little gloomy. She frowned and said, "I've already given it to him. I'd feel bad asking for it back.""No matter what, get it back." Blake's tone indicated that this matter was not up for discussion. He didn't like to see Ivan wearing the crystal around his neck.Yasmin thought that Blake was weird—he didn't want to wear the energy crystal she gave him, but he didn't like it when he saw other people wearing it."Got it." Yasmin agreed anyway and leaned into his embrace.Finally satisfied, Blake kissed her forehead and gently said, "Go to sleep."And soon, Yasmin gradually fell asleep in his arms.…At dawn, Blake received a phone call. After the call, he anxiously and quickly got out of bed.Yasmin sensed that something was amiss and sat up, asking, "Mr. B, what's wrong?""My mom's report is out. There are some issues, and I need to go to the hospital immediately." Blake rushed into the bathroom to wash up.Yasmin's heart
Ivan was straightforward. After removing the energy crystal from his neck, he took out a gift box, saying, "I can return this energy crystal to you, Ms. Starr, but I hope you'll accept my gift in return.""Huh?" Yasmin was puzzled. "That was your birthday present. Why do you have a present for me?""I'm not used to accepting gifts from people. And if I do, I need to give them something in return." Ivan opened the gift box in his hand.Inside, there was also an energy crystal inside, but this crystal was fixed onto a diamond-studded chain.Without missing a beat, Ivan said, "I specially chose this return gift for you after you gave me that energy crystal. You won't reject my gift, will you, Ms. Starr?"Yasmin couldn't refuse him, so she accepted the gift and said, "Alright then, we'll exchange presents. Thank you, Mr. Burke."The most important thing was that she had her energy crystal back. But she still hadn't expected to receive a diamond-studded energy crystal in exchange fo
Yasmin slowly entered the ward and saw Annalise, her beautiful face pallid and sunken. No wonder Blake was upset after returning from the hospital—Annalise's condition didn't look favorable.Meanwhile, Annalise was undergoing a transfusion when Yasmin entered. "Come sit down," she said gently.Yasmin complied.Annalise looked at the needle at the back of her palm and said softly, "The test results came out today. The situation doesn't look good, and I may need to go for surgery within these two days."Yasmin nodded. She knew that Annalise had more to say, so she quietly listened. "I heard you've been back at Oak Garden these past two days?" Annalise asked.When Yasmin heard this, a shiver ran down her back as she looked at her mother-in-law.So, Annalise knew everything that had been going on.Then, Annalise said lightly, "Are you afraid that I'll suddenly die and won't be able to help you clear your father's name?"Yasmin shook her head. "No, Anna, I've never thought of th
Giselle now had a hold over Yasmin.But Yasmin looked down and coolly said, "It's not that I don't want to divorce him. The one-month cooling period isn't up yet."There were ten more days left until the cooling period ended.Giselle nodded. "I know this. But could you move out of Oak Garden? Don't stay there anymore. If Anna knew this, she wouldn't be able to bear it."Giselle was now using Annalise to threaten Yasmin.She implied that if Yasmin refused and anything happened to Annalise because of it, it would be Yasmin's fault.Giselle was really taking things to the extreme.Yasmin croaked, "Ms. Giselle, can you return the bag you're holding to me?""Huh?" Giselle was stunned and slightly puzzled. "Why do you suddenly want this bag?""Blake wants me to return the money for the bag to him because I sold the bag to you, Ms. Giselle." Yasmin explained, "I now owe him nearly 400 thousand dollars, and I can't leave Oak Garden until I pay off my debt to him."If you want me to l
