Blake withdrew his hand without hesitation. He faced the doctor and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"She was probably just startled," came the doctor's reply.

"Blake, I don't want to make judgments on Yasmin's character, but she pushed me just now. I was terrified…" Giselle had tears welling up in her eyes as she complained.

She feared Blake would brush off the matter if she didn't mention it again. She really wanted him to defend her on this.

"I will clear things up after looking into this incident." Blake glanced at her before instructing Malcolm to begin investigations.

Only after things had calmed down did Blake realize Yasmin hadn't accompanied him to the hospital.

Blake frowned, wanting to make a call to Yasmin. However, Giselle yelled in pain again. "Blake, my belly is hurting! Can you soothe it for me?"

The obstetrician warned Blake, "You shouldn't touch her belly now."

Seeing that there were other occupants in the ward, Giselle knew she couldn't pull any tricks. In the

    Beyond Newphoria Bay was the back of a mountain that offered a scenic view, in which lay a few rows of graves. One of them was the grave of Yasmin's mother—Mia Jennings.Somehow, Yasmin suddenly had a strong urge to visit her mom.So, Ivan silently continued driving onward.Half an hour later, they arrived at the back of the mountain where they were met by rows of white tombstones."Thanks for taking me here," Yasmin said before walking up the mountain. Ivan wanted to leave, but he knew that it would be dangerous for a lady to climb a mountain alone at night. So, he pursed his lips, got out of the car, and followed Yasmin.By then, Yasmin had already walked far ahead of him. When Ivan found Yasmin, she was standing before a tombstone with a tinge of melancholy. But for some reason, Yasmin and the scenery beyond her made for a very captivating and beautiful image. Then, Ivan saw the tombstone. He was shocked when he saw name written on it, and he felt his blood pumping. "

    Yasmin put her hands into Ivan's, saying, "Thank you.""Please call me Ivo.""Alright, Ivo." Yasmin carefully walked behind him.Suddenly, a tree on their left fell."Be careful." Ivan quickly grabbed Yasmin into his arms, startling her.Then, several trees fell down consecutively, blocking their way back.At a glance, Yasmin could see a dense forest stretched out before her."What should we do?" she asked worriedly.Ivan observed his surroundings. "We need to head back. A storm may hit this area tonight, so staying here may jeopardize our safety."Yasmin nodded in agreement."Can you do it?" Ivan asked.Yasmin shook her head and said, "It won't be a problem, Ivan. I'm quite nimble.""Great. Hold my hands. This will be safer," Ivan suggested."Sure." Yasmin agreed.They then held hands and squeezed through under the fallen trees with Ivan turning behind to check on her from time to time. "Are you alright?" he asked."Yup." Yasmin was agile and traversed without much tr

    Meanwhile at the hospital, Ivan had just gotten his injury dressed and was now laying on the bed with an intravenous infusion, sleeping soundly. Despite having thrown up blood and undergoing many tests, the doctors still failed to identify an issue.The magnetic resonance imaging report would only be available the next day too.So, Yasmin stayed with Ivan in the hospital. Since she finally had free time now, she decided to check her phone.She then discovered that she had several missed calls from Blake. But since she didn't feel like calling him back, she put away her phone.Yasmin then rested her face on the bedside, about to sleep. But suddenly, the ward door was pushed open, and Blake entered with Malcolm following behind him. Blake was wearing a black coat and exuded an elegant yet cold air. Yasmin was afraid that Blake might wake Ivan up. So, upon noticing his presence, she gestured to him to be quiet before sitting up from her chair and walking out.However, Blake

    Yasmin was a little scared, but she talked herself into staying calm and continued cleaning Ivan up.The nurse had asked her to clean up the filth and check for other injuries. So, she followed the nurse's instructions and meticulously took care of Ivan. In the end, Blake simply left with a grim expression on his face.…The next day, the storm was reported on the news. Apparently, the storm merely passed over Stanton City and was moving toward the other coastal cities instead. However, it did destroy most of the trees. So, many trees were uprooted and blocking the road.Blake was in the car as he listened to the news. And it just so happened that the news mentioned an incident at the back of the mountain of Newphoria Bay.The broadcast mentioned a man and a woman trapped among the fallen trees. A tree had struck the back of the man, and the woman, despite the difficulty, had dragged him out of danger.Malcolm immediately said, "That must be Mrs. Ford." Blake wore a stern

    In the hospital, Ivan finally woke up."Are you still feeling dizzy?" Yasmin asked. She had just learned that Ivan had had a minor concussion from the doctor's report. But other than that, there was nothing serious."Yup, a little." Ivan held his head, looking pale.Yasmin quickly put two pillows on his back. "You'll feel better leaning on the pillows." Then, she said, "The doctor mentioned you suffered a minor concussion, so the dizziness is expected. He also advised you to stay in the hospital for a couple of days.""Alright." Ivan nodded. "Did you look after me in the hospital last night?"Yasmin nodded. "I don't have the contact details of your family, so…""My family is in Merania," Ivan replied.Feeling guilty, Yasmin said, "I'm sorry, Ivan. It's all my fault. You wouldn't have gotten injured if you hadn't protected me from the falling tree.""Don't worry about it. I would've stepped in even if it was someone else." Ivan patted her head.Just then, Blake entered the wa

    That sentence alone was enough to spread a chill across Yasmin's body. She looked over at Blake as he repeated the same words, "Go back with me."Yasmin took a deep breath. Then, she said to Ivan, "Rest well, Ivo. I'll visit you again tomorrow.""Alright." Ivan remained composed and gave her a gentle smile.Yasmin then followed behind Blake as they exited the ward.She was surprised that Blake would use her father to threaten her. And at the same time, she was also disappointed—as long as her dad was in prison, she would be shackled.After getting into the car, they left the hospital.No one spoke on their journey back. Yasmin refused to say anything and merely leaned against the car window with her eyes shut. As they arrived at Newphoria Bay, Mary came out to greet them, "Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Ford. Dinner is ready. Please help yourself while it's still warm."But Blake didn't respond to her and merely walked toward the dining room.Yasmin, on the other hand, didn

    Yasmin shook her head and said, "No, Ivo got hurt because of me. I want to go and take care of him."After all, Ivan's mother was her mother's best friend. She wanted to find out more about her mother from Ivan.Blake frowned deeply. "I said you're not allowed to go.""But I want to go." Yasmin insisted.Blake scoffed. "Looks like you're determined to make me jealous, aren't you?"He had already told her that Ivan had hidden motives. Yet, Yasmin not only refused to listen to him, but now she wanted to get closer with Ivan too?Yasmin had no explanation for Blake, so she simply ignored him and jerked her head away.Blake then fiercely pinched her chin. His gaze turned dangerous as he said darkly, "If you go, your father will never come out of prison."After saying this, he let go of her and strode out of the room.Yasmin's chin hurt. She touched her chin with an obstinate expression on her face.Today's incident made her realize that she couldn't always follow whatever Blake

    Blake's rough hands forcefully brushed against Yasmin's fair skin.Yasmin's eyebrows scrunched up in pain. "Blake, let go of me."But Blake stuck himself to her, as hot as a furnace, and wildly bit her neck.Yasmin was bitten until she was trembling all over, and red and purple marks had appeared on her skin. Despite struggling with all her might, she was powerless against him.Meanwhile, Blake was still in his loungewear. He had one hand encircling Yasmin's slim waist, while the other hand was caressing her body. Yasmin was shivering, and her face was as red as a tomato. But her trembling only served to stimulate Blake even more, causing him to tightly clutch her waist and work his hands down her waist.As Yasmin lay on the bed under the moonlight, she looked slender and beautiful, and her skin was as white as snow. Her red-rimmed eyes also added a certain charm and allure that could draw any man's attention.…The sky slowly brightened as dawn approached.However, Blake w

    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
