"Alright, we don't have to see him anymore if you hate him. We won't see him anymore," Stuart comforted his daughter. Blake stood outside the ward door, and when he heard that Yasmin hated him, his heart went cold. The numbness spread from his heart and toward the tips of his toes and turned into pain. He was red-eyed and stiff.Eunice coldly glared at him. "Did you hear that? Yasmin hates you, so stay away from her. Let her go and let her be happy.""I would have discussed it properly with her if I knew that saying those things would cause her to slip and fall," Blake numbly said."There are no 'ifs'. What's done has been done. Nothing you do can bring her baby back, and you'll never be able to redeem yourself," Eunice said harshly.Blake stood there in a daze. There were no "ifs". The incident had already happened. He couldn't turn back time, and he would never be able to redeem himself.After that, Mortimer pulled Eunice away as Blake stood in the corridor, a shell of t
When Ivan told Yasmin this, she was drinking water. When she heard Ivan's words, she raised her dark eyebrows and asked, "Really?""Yes. It's caused quite a buzz in the country," Ivan replied. "When you're well, I'll ask the design director of NAS Group to bring you to Perissia Fashion Week."Yasmin was stunned. Because of this, the gloom in her heart immediately lifted. This was her dream. She had been waiting for this moment ever since she'd entered university five years ago.She'd never expected this opportunity would arise after losing her baby. It seemed like a ray of sunlight in her gloomy world.Yasmin thought that this was the silver lining in her dark cloud. Even though she had not been able to save her baby, at least she could continue with the career that she was passionate about. As for Blake, Yasmin was done with him. Their relationship had ended the moment she lost the baby. Now, Yasmin didn't want to see him anymore. And with her Dad and Eunice's company,
When Yasmin finished speaking, she closed her eyes. She truly never wanted to see Blake ever again.As Blake stood in the hospital ward, he felt as if a thousand needles were pricking his heart. The pain was so intense that he was a little breathless.But Yasmin had just suffered a miscarriage, and Blake didn't want to agitate her. So, with one last look at Yasmin's face, he left.…The next afternoon, Yasmin finished her lunch while Stuart went to handle the discharge procedures.Yasmin could be discharged after one last ultrasound test.However, after waiting for a long while, Stuart still hadn't returned. She couldn't go to the outpatient ultrasound room herself, and a glance at the time told her that it was almost 11:00 am. So, Yasmin had no choice but to leave her hospital ward to look for Stuart. "Dad!" she called out in the corridor.When she passed by the nurses' counter, the nurse informed her, "Ms. Starr, I think your dad has gone to the stairwell.""Why has
"No, it wasn't me!" Elise made her way through the crowd and shouted as tears streamed down her face.When Yasmin saw her, she was immediately reminded of the expression that Elise was wearing when she was talking to Stuart. It had been the complete opposite of the vulnerable, damsel-in-distress act she was putting up right now. Yasmin staggered to her feet and lunged forward to grab Elise by the neck. "Elise Fletcher, what did you do to my dad? How did he fall down the stairs? You pushed him, didn't you?""No, I didn't touch him! He fell when his illness acted up!" Elise denied Yasmin's accusation and shook her head."That's impossible! My dad's been quite healthy lately, so there's no way that he'd just suddenly fall ill again. And why did my father tell me not to seek revenge? What the hell did you do?"Blake froze as he realized what Elise had said to Stuart.He immediately stepped forward and slapped Elise with a warning gaze in his eyes.Elise fell to the floor from the
Elise was forced to meet Blake's eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes as she sniffled. "James was good to me, so I had to do this for him. Besides, I don't want to see you suffer anymore. "Blakey, you should find another woman, and a one that's virtuous at that. There are so many women out there who deserve your love more than Yasmin does, so forget about her—""Are you referring to yourself?" Blake sneered.Elise paused, her gaze suddenly growing tender. She had an obsessive look in her eyes as she said, "That's right. I love you, Blakey. Won't you be my boyfriend? I'll be a good wife for you in the future…" Her hand slowly crept up Blake's face.Disgusted, Blake slapped her hand aside and snorted. "I've never liked you, and I never will."Elise froze as despair and pain filled her eyes.Just then, the door opened, and a handsome man walked in. The man's face darkened when he saw how Blake was holding onto Elise. He rushed over and demanded, "What do you think you're doing?
Blake walked over and held Yasmin. He could feel her body trembling."Where's Elise Fletcher?" Yasmin asked in a hoarse voice. "Yasmin," Blake caressed her head, "We checked the cameras. She was telling the truth. She never touched Stuart. He fell down the stairs himself.""No!" Yasmin refused to believe it. She lifted her head with tear-stained cheeks. "She must have said something to him before that. Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have told me not to seek revenge. So, what did she tell him?"Blake stiffened before softly saying, "I'm not sure. The audio wasn't clear."He didn't dare tell the truth.If he did, things would definitely be over between them. Panic consumed him at the thought of this, and he quickly stopped his thoughts from wandering. Then, instead of telling her the truth, he softly said, "I'm sure he'll be fine. He woke up last time, so I believe that it'll be the same this time.""That's easy for you to say!" Yasmin roughly broke free from Blake's grasp. She beli
The next day, Yasmin seemed unusually calm when she woke up. When Blake opened the door, he saw her changing her clothes and hurried over to stop her. "Why are you changing clothes? Where are you going?"Yasmin turned around. It seemed like she had cast away all her negative emotions and was unnaturally at ease. "I've been hospitalized for over ten days, so it's time for me to leave," she said.Blake felt like she had changed somehow, but he couldn't put his finger on what exactly was different. So, he simply stared at her.In contrast to Yasmin's healthy black hair, her face seemed unusually pale and devoid of emotions. She looked as though something had sucked the life out of her."Yasmin, what's going through your mind right now?" Blake realized that he couldn't read her expression anymore.Yasmin calmly met his eyes. "Nothing. I just don't want to stay here anymore since I've already recovered.""But Dad is still in the hospital," Blake reminded her.Yasmin nearly lost con
It turned out that Blake had already noticed that she hadn't been sleeping.Yasmin calmly replied, "I was wondering if I could go back to work tomorrow.""Is that all?""Yeah. Life has been boring lately, so I feel like going back to the studio. I need something to distract me from the pain." Yasmin deliberately reminded Blake of her suffering.Guilt flashed in Blake's eyes, and he gently caressed her head. "Sure, go ahead. But you just had a miscarriage, so don't overwork yourself.""It's just a miscarriage. Ten days of rest is more than enough," Yasmin replied flatly. Suddenly, memories of their lost child popped up in Blake's mind, and he tightened his arms around Yasmin. Repulsed by his touch, Yasmin curled up. She felt like a soulless body lost in the dark. …The next day, Yasmin knew that Blake was awake when she heard some rustling. While Blake was getting dressed, Yasmin kept her back facing him. Soon, Blake finished dressing up and bent over to look at her. "Ya
