Yasmin's pupils dilated.At this, Giselle smiled brightly and said, "I was jealous of you, but it doesn't affect me now. Ultimately, you're merely a backup to provide blood. And once Elise wakes up, you won't carry any value anymore."Yasmin didn't trust Giselle at all. So, she coldly retorted, "Stop meddling in my relationship with Blake. I don't believe a word you've said.""Oh? Really? When did Blake start being nice to you then?"Did it happen only after you were admitted to the hospital? He found out about your blood type, and he suddenly started treating you better, didn't he?"Yasmin's memory resurfaced after hearing Giselle's words.Blake had treated her coldly in the first few months after their marriage. What's more, he was also barely at home.Then one day, when she was fixing the light at the Ford residence, she ended up falling from somewhere high and knocked herself out.Blake then sent Yasmin to the hospital. And when she woke up, she saw him going through her me
Was Elise the person Blake tried to save?So, was Giselle not the first love? Was it Elise?Yasmin stood mindlessly in Elise's room.Later, she had a weird dream. In the dream, she and Elise were in danger, and Blake could only save one of them. Yet, she could only watch as Blake rescued Elise… With that, she was abandoned in the dream, drowning and disappearing…Yasmin was jolted back to reality. Her back was drenched in sweat as she gasped heavily for air.While eating breakfast the next day, Yasmin found herself thinking about Elise again.Mary poured her a cup of milk.Yasmin looked over and asked, "I saw a pink villa next to us. Do you know what it's for, Mary?"Since Mary was in charge of cleaning, she must have known who the resident of that villa was.Upon hearing Yasmin's words, Mary immediately stopped pouring the milk. She sneaked a flustered glance at Yasmin. "Have you entered that villa, Mrs. Ford?"Yasmin shook her head. "No, I merely saw it from the balcony
Yasmin walked toward the girl. She was really the person in the photo.She looked at the patient's name on the headboard, which read 'Elise Fletcher'.In that moment, Yasmin's heart seemed to fall into the abyss, making a loud thud.Everything was real. There was a girl named Elise. She once stayed in the pink villa beside Oak Garden.The reason Blake helped Giselle out was to save Elise.That explained why Blake didn't reveal what he wanted for Giselle's child.His goal was to save Elise. Why would he reveal it to Yasmin?If Yasmin knew Blake had another girl in his heart, she wouldn't have foolishly fallen for him.While Yasmin's thoughts wandered off, the ward door was pushed open.Joel entered the ward. He was surprised to see Yasmin standing in front of the bed. He called out, "Yasmin."Yasmin turned. After discovering the truth, she wasn't shocked. Instead, she wore an expression of disappointment and confusion.Joel glanced at Elise. She slept there without a sound, l
Blake was suddenly nice to Yasmin. Was it because Yasmin's blood could help Elise?After leaving the hospital, Yasmin went to the lakeside. She found a stone bench and sat there.Yasmin lowered her gaze. Blake had given her a pink bracelet, and Yasmin wore it on her wrist.Recalling that Elise liked pink, Yasmin reached out to tear the bracelet off. However, her efforts were in vain.Yasmin yanked it many times. She even scraped her wrist till it bled. Only then did she give up on taking the bracelet off.She hugged her knees, and buried herself in her skirt as she cried. After a while, the sky went dark. Suddenly, her phone rang.It was a call from Blake.After spending five days in Merania, he finally remembered to give Yasmin a call.Yasmin stared at her phone for a long time. She eventually tapped on the button to accept the call.Blake had just made it back to Oak Garden. He didn't see Yasmin, so he called. "Where are you?"After a long silence, Yasmin muttered, "I saw
Yasmin spaced out by the lake until nightfall. Only then did she slowly make her way back.Yasmin kept reimagining the scene one year ago. Blake served her a cup of milk. After turning around, he wore a darkened expression, and she passed out.Then, he coldly ordered the medical staff, "Extract her blood."The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. She was suffering and spiraling out of control, and she hated him.A familiar voice sounded on the road. "Yasmin?"Yasmin looked over. Ivan poked his head out of the car window. His charming face was filled with concern.She looked at him in a daze. Her eyes were wet. She was on the verge of crying.Ivan got out of his car, and he noticed the reddened skin on her arms and legs. They looked like rashes caused by mosquitoes. The skin beneath her pink bracelet on her wrist had traces of blood."What happened to you?" he asked.Yasmin opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, a bitter feeling overwhelmed her. She coul
Saying that Yasmin wasn't moved would be a lie.Her friend kept her favorites in mind when eating out. Of course, she felt warm and fuzzy after learning about it.Ivan attempted to improve Yasmin's mood. "Unfortunately, I've only found one great restaurant like this after staying in Stanton City for a few months. Since you've lived in Stanton City for many years, do you have any great recommendations?"However, Yasmin wasn't in the mood to talk. She replied flatly, "I'm not feeling chatty today, Ivo. Can you wait until I go back? I'll put together a list of top food spots and send them to you.""Sure," Ivan readily agreed. "After going home from the Ford residence, did Blake trouble you?"Yasmin shook her head and said, "No."Blake merely gave her the cold shoulder. He didn't do anything else.…On the other hand, Blake went to Newphoria Bay. No one was there.He frowned a little. He walked out of the villa and instructed Malcolm, "Find out where Mrs. Ford is."Meanwhile, Yas
Yasmin immediately halted in her tracks. Her eyes reddened.Blake knew why Yasmin was upset. Despite that, he didn't clear things up but accused her unfairly.They had given each other the silent treatment for five days.As soon as Blake returned, he didn't apologize or give her any explanation. Instead, he immediately put the fault on Yasmin.Yasmin was disheartened. It sparked her defiant side. She screamed at Blake, "I didn't ask you to pick me up. Why are you here? I don't want to see you!"His face fell. "So, am I the one making a fool out of myself here?""That's right! You're an idiot. Why did you show up? Scram!" Yasmin scolded harshly. She then turned and walked away.Blake's expression turned cold.Malcolm stood at the side and zipped his mouth. Who would have thought Blake would be told to scram? Even the head of the Ford family, Arthur, never said such harsh words to Blake.Yasmin had a stubborn temper. No one could hold her back.With teary eyes, Yasmin pursed he
Blake still refused to open up.Yasmin looked at his well-defined features. The longer she stared at him, the more disheartened she felt. "I thought you were so thoughtful that you even got me milk. Turns out you were drugging me with sleeping pills. When I passed out, you would extract my blood for Elise. "That's the truth, and you still said it won't affect me. Will you do the same thing to me again when Elise needs blood? Are you going to knock me out to take my blood for her?"As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.She pitied her fate. Just because she fell for him, she was being used without mercy.On the surface, he pretended to treat her well. In reality, it was solely due to her rare blood type. Seeing his silence, she felt dejected. She pushed open the door to chase him away. "Leave. I have found out about everything, and I won't forgive you. Just go."Yasmin felt a sharp pain in her heart. However, Blake stood on the spot without budging.She walked over to mo
