Yasmin's fever returned in the middle of the night, so Blake called the doctor in.

The doctor told him that Yasmin had already been given a fever reducer earlier and couldn't have more for the next few hours. So, they could only try to physically reduce her temperature.

Blake studied Yasmin and flushed cheeks as she mumbled incoherently. Then, he removed his coat and rolled up his sleeves before bringing over a basin of warm water to cool her off.

"Dad…" Yasmin mumbled as her lashes quivered slightly.

Blake leaned in closer to listen to what she was saying.

In her feverish state, Yasmin murmured, "D-Don't worry, Dad… I'll get you out soon…"

Blake's eyes darkened when he heard this, and thoughts began filling his head.

"It's so cold…" Yasmin suddenly wrapped her arms around herself and shivered.

She was freezing and felt as though her entire body was submerged in an ice bath.

She almost wanted to curl up into herself to warm her body up, but Blake quickly hugged her, as if he

    Yasmin stammered, "T-That's because I h-had a fever…""So, being delirious from a fever means you can act naughtily?"Yasmin didn't know how to answer him. But before she knew it, he was kissing her again and gently nipping her lips from time to time. He panted, "You need to compensate me for the torment you put me through."The kiss stole away Yasmin's oxygen, and her head was feeling fuzzy. She responded without thinking, "What do you want then?""Come here. Let me hug you." Blake pulled her close, her back pressing against his chest. His hand then slowly crept under her shirt as he began to gently knead her. Yasmin's breathing became unsteady. "I still have a fever…" she said in a shaky voice. "I won't do anything else."Yasmin's body was weak right now, so Blake wouldn't take things too far. But he still needed to find some relief. Hence, separated by the layers of fabric, he could only do it to her legs. Yasmin blushed fiercely, too embarrassed to move.After s

    Blake snorted. "I've already said this before. Hunters only throw baits to lure their prey.""Burke isn't as good as he seems then," Joel remarked."Only that idiot would believe him.""Are you going to help her sort out this matter?" Joel asked curiously. "I'll wait until she asks me to," Blake retorted.After visiting Annalise, Blake headed to his office.…In the afternoon, Erik came to visit Yasmin.He was actually quite a tall, handsome young lad."What are you doing here?" Yasmin was surprised to see him holding a bouquet of flowers. In fact, she was struggling to adapt to how unusual he was being. "I came to visit you." Erik waved the bouquet. "Where should I put these?""Just leave them there," Yasmin replied.Once Erik set the flowers down, he sat down in front of her and asked, "How do you feel now?""Just tell me what you want." Yasmin had no idea what was going through his mind.Erik sighed. "I wanted to talk to you about Amy Adams.""Did you find her?""N

    "Your baby doesn't belong to Mr. Ford." Bill Hawthorne glanced at Giselle's stomach with a sinister smile.Giselle paled. "What nonsense," she hissed."I heard it from your mother. She said you had a boyfriend abroad all along, and your baby belongs to someone else. Mr. Ford is just a stand-in." Bill stepped closer toward her.Yasmin was shocked.Did Giselle's baby belong to someone else and not Blake?Yasmin quickly hid herself and took out her phone to record their conversation.Giselle's face grew colder. "Why would my mother tell you that? Are you one of her boy toys?"Bill's appearance fit Giselle's mother's tastes, so he was most likely one of her lovers. Giselle had always known that her mother lived a promiscuous life.Bill replied, "Yep, but I've grown tired of her. It's disgusting how she's getting on in years but still likes playing around in bed. You, on the other hand, are a much better option. Mr. Ford never touches you anyway, so what do you say we have a go?"B

    Yasmin's heart was racing. Right before Bill caught her, she spotted the hospital building nearby. Without a second thought, she dashed inside, clutching her phone as she ran upstairs.She ran faster than any time she'd run in her life. She immediately pressed the button when she found the elevator and darted inside.Time slowly ticked by.It wasn't until the elevator stopped at the 16th floor that she breathed a sigh of relief and dashed out.However, she collided with someone as soon as she got out of the elevator. Thinking it was Bill, she raised her fists to hit the other person. "Go away!""What are you doing?" Blake's voice came from above her head.Startled, she looked up. "Blake?""Where did you go?" Blake wrapped her in his arms. "Who do you look so frantic? What happened?""Something big happened." Yasmin looked behind her. Certain that Giselle hadn't caught up to her, she pulled Blake toward her room. "I need to talk to you."Blake glanced at her tiny hand holding

    "Yes," Blake replied gravely. How could this have happened?Yasmin felt a wave of dizziness. Bill and Giselle were supposed to be on the same side."I'm going to save her. You should go back to your room and rest." Blake turned to leave.For some unexplainable reason, Yasmin found the courage to grab his fingers. "I'm coming with you."She wanted to see what was going on."You're still sick—""I want to go!" she shouted in a fit of anger.Blake sighed and clasped her hand. "Stay by my side and don't wander around."Yasmin didn't answer. She silently followed him to his car. On the way, Blake notified the police and mobilized some men where Giselle was being held captive. His face was calm as he arranged everything. Others might not be able to tell, but Yasmin knew that he was nervous as well. Every time he was nervous, his eyes would grow frighteningly cold. …Meanwhile, Giselle was tied up in an underground warehouse.She had deliberately provoked Bill. Initially,

    Even after searching all three floors of the warehouse, Giselle was nowhere to be found.Finally, one of the guards stumbled across a manhole and notified Blake, "Mr. Ford, there's a manhole here. I'm not sure if Ms. O'Shea is hidden here."Blake walked over and ordered someone to remove the lid.He signaled for his men to climb in. Giselle was unconscious in the basement, but there was no sight of Bill. "Mr. Ford, Ms. O'Shea is there, but we don't see Bill Hawthorne!" One of the guards called from beneath.Blake glanced at Yasmin and told her, "I'll go take a look. You stay here.""Okay." Yasmin nodded.Blake ordered a few guards to protect her before climbing down to search for Giselle.Giselle was unconscious, and her face was dirty. Worried about her baby, he gently patted her cheek. "Giselle?"Giselle slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Blake, she threw herself into his arms, terrified. "I was so scared, Blake! Bill kidnapped me. I thought I'd never see you again…"S

    Yasmin went back to her hospital room and curled up on the bed.She thought discovering that secret would make Blake stop loving Giselle. But when something happened to her, Blake was more worried than anyone.Yasmin was completely disappointed in him.Her phone rang again. Yasmin looked at the caller ID. It was Eunice.Yasmin answered, "Hey, Eunice.""Yaz, why didn't you answer my call earlier? I'm back in Stanton City. Which hospital are you in? I'll come visit you."When Eunice heard about the incident at the studio, she rushed back from out of town immediately.Half an hour later, Eunice arrived at the hospital. Seeing her, Yasmin hugged her tightly."What happened, Yaz?" Eunice asked.Yasmin didn't want to talk about Blake, so she just said, "Eunice, I'm sorry. I've caused trouble for the studio...""Yaz, I know it's not your fault. It was Amy who stole the designs. Don't blame yourself. Let's figure out how to solve this," Eunice comforted her.Eunice was really kind.

    The phone on the bedside table rang. Yasmin glanced at it and saw it was Blake calling.She declined his call out of spite. She didn't want to deal with him anymore.But the phone kept ringing.Back at the hospital, Blake couldn't find her and started to worry.Yasmin was annoyed and picked up the phone, "Mr. Ford, what do you want?" Her tone was sharp.Blake paused for a moment. Then, he asked, "You got discharged?""I don't have a fever anymore, so of course I got discharged. Isn't that obvious?" Yasmin snapped back.Blake rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless, "Still mad?""What's it to you? If you've got nothing to say, stop bothering me.""Who did you leave with? Where are you?" Blake asked about her whereabouts."That's none of your business.""Do you want me to find out myself?" Blake's voice turned serious. "It's not hard, might just take ten minutes. But you should know what happens when you make me angry."Yasmin couldn't believe he was threatening her.She col

    Pamela thought that Yasmin's voice sounded strange, but since Yasmin was an important client, she didn't dare offend her.Politely, she replied, "It's okay. Please take your time.""Alright, please leave for now. I'll look for you once I'm finished here," Yasmin said in a strained voice."Okay." Pamela left soon after.Once she was gone, Yasmin awkwardly tapped Blake's shoulder. "Alright, stop it. You almost got us caught just now."Blake was now satisfied. A man who had been sated was no longer as surly. He became shockingly gentle, wrapping his arms around her waist and saying, "Join me for dinner later.""Okay," Yasmin weakly agreed. "Please let me go now."Blake finally released his hold on her. Yasmin's legs felt like jelly, and she nearly stumbled as soon as he let go.He steadied her and looked down at the torn train of the wedding dress. The front, however, still looked fine. He smiled and said, "You still look beautiful in the wedding dress."Yasmin glanced at the mir

    Blake didn't respond, choosing instead to stare at Yasmin. She had just removed the tiara, letting her long hair cascade over her left shoulder. This brought attention to her fair skin and made her appear as if she was an otherworldly beauty.No wonder Ivan had been mesmerized earlier. A woman in a wedding dress truly possessed a sacred kind of elegance.Blake's gaze traveled down to her chest. She looked exquisite, but something was missing—the ring. His face darkened as he asked, "Where's the ring?""I took it off when I was trying on the wedding dress. I put it in my bag," Yasmin replied. She turned around to retrieve it for him.Maybe it was the way the wedding dress hugged her slender figure, or the graceful way she bent down to pick up the ring, her hips subtly lifting. Either way, the movement exuded an undeniable allure.Blake suddenly felt an overwhelming urge rise from within him. He walked up behind her and placed his hands on her waist as if possessed.Yasmin froze

    Ivan sneered in response. "Oh? Do you want to come over and have a drink at the wedding?""There's no need for a wedding toast, but I'll send you a nice little gift soon. You've had Lizzie abducted, and I haven't settled that score yet." Blake's tone was cold and menacing.Still, Ivan wasn't afraid. He took a couple of steps forward, smirking as he said, "Feel free to try—but you should think it through. You have more loved ones than I do. "Besides your mother and Lizzie, there's also your grandmother. I could blow up your mother's hospital today, kidnap Lizzie tomorrow, and have your grandmother killed the day after."Blake's cold laughter came through the phone. "Is that so? Well then, I guess I need to send you a big gift today."The two men continued their exchange from a distance. Yasmin, who was unable to hear the conversation clearly, was trembling with fear. She was terrified of what they might be discussing.It was at this moment when Wendy hurried in from outside. She

    Yasmin stepped into the fitting room and changed into the wedding dress. When she emerged, her long hair was elegantly pinned up, and her red lips were vibrant. It made her look breathtakingly beautiful.Ivan saw her and was momentarily stunned. His gaze was unwavering as he stared wide-eyed. Then, he caught himself and smiled. "Yasmin, you look stunning."She gave a slight smile in response, adding to her allure.Ivan was almost entranced. He picked up a crystal-encrusted tiara from nearby and placed it on her head. She glanced upward, her eyes sparkling as she stood there in the white wedding dress. She looked absolutely mesmerizing, and Ivan couldn't take his eyes off her.Meanwhile, Blake watched from across the street with a growing sense of jealousy. The sight of them together made him smirk cynically. Unable to contain himself, he pulled out his phone and called Yasmin.He didn't want to see them looking so perfect together. It irritated him to no end.When Yasmin's ph

    Yasmin's heart ached as she listened, her eyes reddening. "You're doing great, Trist. If Mom were with you right now, I'd definitely give you a big hug."Tristan mumbled, "Mom, stop acting like it's the end of the world. You sound so sentimental. I'm doing just fine here. I've got friends to play with and plenty of household staff members to look after me. "You just take care of yourself in Merania, and do whatever you need to do. Once you're in Rimmervale, we'll see each other again."Yasmin nodded. "Yes, we'll see each other very soon."Just then, the door swung open, and there Ivan stood in the doorway. Yasmin jumped in surprise and instinctively ended the video call."Why are you crying?" Ivan asked, noticing her red eyes.Yasmin wiped her tears and smiled. "It's nothing. I just miss Trist."Ivan understood that being a mother made Yasmin emotional whenever she thought about her child. He then asked, "By the way, how was Trist's winter camp? When is he coming back?"Feelin

    Yasmin huffed in exasperation. "I just stole his proposal a few days ago, and now he's starting to get suspicious. If I tell him I don't want to take wedding photos, he'll be on to me for sure. If he gets suspicious, my plan will be completely ruined."Blake remained silent on the other end of the line.Yasmin sighed and continued, "It's really not a big deal. This is the last thing I need to do with him. The wedding is in seven days—it'll all be over by then.""When are the wedding photos being taken?" Blake asked.Yasmin hesitated before answering, "Didn't I already tell you? The day after tomorrow, in the afternoon."Blake only replied with a simple, "It's late. Go to sleep." Then, he ended the call.Yasmin could tell he was not all too pleased, but she really didn't want to stir up more trouble than necessary. There were just seven more days to go—Yasmin wanted to get through the final spurt safely and smoothly.…On the day of the wedding dress fitting, Yasmin was having b

    Yasmin had no idea what Ivan would do to her if he learned the truth. She feared that if she angered him, he might lock her up somewhere no one would ever find her."I did that because my grandma suggested it to me," Yasmin explained."Your grandma knows about all of this?" Blake asked."Of course. Do you think someone as sharp as her wouldn't notice that every time you visited, we disappeared for hours? She figured it out a long time ago and asked me what was going on between us.""So, you told her everything about us?""Yes, she knows we've reconciled. I even planted a listening device on Ivan. We're hoping to acquire evidence of his illegal activities." Yasmin nodded as she spoke."Did your grandma suggest that to you too?"Yasmin replied briefly, "Yes."Blake let out a soft laugh. "Your grandma is quite the master of strategies.""She really is," Yasmin agreed with a smile. But seconds later, her expression grew serious. "Blake, there's something I need to tell you.""Wha

    Yasmin's face turned pale as she realized the extent of the surveillance at the Burke residence."Can the surveillance footage from the study be deleted?" Yasmin asked at the time.The housekeeper shook her head. "It can't be deleted. The surveillance is linked to Mr. Burke's computer. His computer is password-protected, and only he has access to it."Yasmin's heart sank at the news. She knew that once Blake made his move to sabotage Ivan's project, Ivan would inevitably discover that she was involved.Hence, she had already discussed a plan with Imogen to handle the situation. Although the process had been nerve-wracking, everything had gone smoothly. Ivan seemed to believe her explanation.With the project now in jeopardy, Ivan would likely need additional funding, which meant it was unlikely that he would call off the engagement. Yasmin assured herself that Ivan wouldn't do anything drastic to her—not when he needed money from Sander International.After seeing Ivan off, Yasmi

    Ivan gently touched Yasmin's face and said softly, "Forget it. Four years ago, you did wrong by him. It's understandable that he threatened you. But don't worry, I've already forced him back to Stanton City."Soon, I'll deal with everyone who has wronged you. I'll make him miserable and ensure he has no time to harass you."Yasmin stared at him in surprise. "Ivo, what are you going to do to those people?""I won't let a single person who hurt you get away with it. However they treated you, I'll make sure they experience the same," Ivan said, his eyes dark with resolve.Yasmin took a deep breath, unable to find the right words.Ivan seemed to realize that his current expression was too grim. He softened his demeanor and asked with a forced smile, "Let me see what you bought for me."Yasmin quickly snapped back to attention and began showing him the gifts she had purchased. Since she had never bought him anything before, Ivan looked somewhat dazed as he looked at the gifts.He pic
