Yasmin went to refill warm water into the bottle outside the ward. She received a phone call from Sarah.

Sarah asked, "Where are you, Ms. Starr? We have a big client at the office, and he specifically asked for you to design his clothes."

Yasmin paused for a moment and replied, "I'll be back later."

"Great." Sarah hung up the call.

Yasmin took the bottle and walked back to the ward.

When she arrived at the door, she heard Joel saying, "Your injury is healing pretty well, Blake. I don't see any signs of infection. If it hurts, ask the nurse to give you some painkillers."

"Alright."

Yasmin felt relieved upon hearing that. As she entered the room, Blake immediately looked over and smiled.

When Joel saw Blake smiling, he seemed to have caught on to something. He instructed, "When you get home, someone will still need to change your bandages. I'll take at least two weeks for the wound to fully heal."

"Yaz will take good care of me," Blake remarked as he fixed his gaze on Yasmin.

    Feeling amused, Yasmin nonchalantly said, "Take it as a warning. Stop being a jerk from here on." "How am I a jerk? All I wanted was to take you up the mountain and watch the stars. That was just me trying to win you over.""You got to respect my decision when I said no to your invitation. That's how people normally pursue someone."Instead, you kidnapped me when I said no. That's a crime," Yasmin calmly commented.Even though Yasmin dropped the charges, she still believed that Darion was in the wrong. Plus, she had a few drinks that night. Things could've easily gone south.Darion was at a loss for words. He glanced at Yasmin and chuckled. "You've got quite the sharp tongue, don't you?""I'm merely stating the truth." After saying that, Yasmin immediately left.Darion's expression darkened. "Where are you going, Yasmin?""Knowing you, I doubt you're dropping by for a business meeting. Sorry. I'm too busy for idle chatter."Darion thought Yasmin was quite full of herself, b

    Darion felt pleased as he checked his reflection in the mirror. He nodded and said, "They say it's all about the designer's touch, and I can see why. This outfit looks great. I'll buy it.""The pants seem a bit long. Do you need me to adjust them?" Yasmin asked."Do you offer this service as well?""Of course. We can alter the size of any clothes you buy here." After all, the alteration room was upstairs.Darion looked into the mirror and realized that the hem of the pants was indeed too long. He leaned forward and requested, "Great! Go ahead and fix it for me.""Not a problem."Yasmin knelt with a tape measure. As she measured the bottom of the pants, Darion seized the opportunity to check her out from above. She had a fair complexion, and her dress accentuated her curvy figure. He couldn't help but be enchanted by her appearance."You're gorgeous, Yasmin," Darion blurted out.Yasmin was taken aback for a second, but she had already finished measuring. She backed away, j

    "We're in the men's showroom, Dr. Keating. Let me take you to the women's showroom."Lizzie grinned. "Thanks."Yasmin led Lizzie to another showroom. By the time they passed through the lobby, Darion had completed the payments and was getting ready to leave. He waved the receipt and said, "I've paid, Yasmin. Have the pants sent to me when they're ready.""Sure," Yasmin politely responded, then guided Lizzie to the showroom."Here's the women's showroom, Dr. Keating. Everything here is ready-to-wear. Take a look and see if anything catches your eye.""Great! I'll have a look." Lizzie browsed around. Out of nowhere, she asked, "Is this how you normally run your business?""What?" Yasmin was baffled."Looking so pretty, kneeling to measure the hem of the pants for a man, and speaking so softly…" Lizzie trailed off mid-sentence.Yasmin's smile froze. She knew Lizzie was ridiculing her, but she couldn't openly confront her. So she said, "Every studio provides alteration servic

    Yasmin said, "Let's not talk about that. I'm starving. Is there something to eat?"She felt her skin crawl at Blake's cheesy words.Blake smiled in resignation. "I have left some spaghetti for you.""Perfect timing! I can't wait to eat!" Yasmin put away her bag and sat beside him.He was thrilled when Yasmin started being herself. He put the lunchbox in front of her and watched her eat.Yasmin felt uneasy under his stare. She kept her head down and continued eating."You're about to drop your head into the lunchbox." Blake propped his head up and looked at Yasmin.She protested, "Stop staring at me.""Why not?""Why do you have to watch me eat?" She found it unsettling.Blake chuckled. "You're beautiful. I just can't take my eyes off you."Yasmin felt her heart flutter and gazed at him. "Why are you being so corny now?""Many misunderstandings happened in the past because I kept hiding my feelings. From now on, I want to express my feelings to you."Yasmin felt goosebumps

    A hint of sadness flickered in Blake's eyes. Yasmin looked away, shut the car doors, and sat quietly inside. In the end, Malcolm sent her back home.After taking a shower, she leaned against the bed and looked at the night view. The night breeze was a little cold. She was feeling a bit down due to her hesitation about returning to Oak Garden.They could keep Arthur and Annalise in the dark about Stuart, but for how long?Yasmin doubted the two would accept her without resentment once everything came to light. She was truly in a tough spot.…The next day, Yasmin was working in her office when Sarah approached. "Ms. Starr, a woman downstairs claims to be Mr. Carter's girlfriend, and she wants to collect his clothes.""Hand her the clothes if she has the receipt." Yasmin held a cup of coffee in her hand and went through her fabrics to pick one.With a bitter expression, Sarah explained, "She doesn't have a receipt. I told her she couldn't collect the clothes without one. She's

    Nikki was heartbroken. Her face paled as she said, "I heard you fell for a woman right after coming back, and you even bought clothes from her. I came today to see what she's like.""It's none of your business." Darion remained cold and indifferent toward her. "We broke up six months ago, Nikki. Why do you care about who I'm seeing?"Nikki dated Darion for three months and couldn't move on after they broke up.As she was surprised by his harsh words, her eyes welled up. "Jerk!" she shouted before running away.Darion didn't bother to chase after her. Annoyed, he shook his head and asked Yasmin, "Did she cause you any trouble?""No, she didn't. You showed up just in time." Yasmin didn't want to be part of their relationship drama. She gestured with her hand and said, "The clothes are ready. Do you have the receipt?" Darion tutted. "Do you have a heart of stone? She just said that I fell for you and bought clothes from you. Didn't that move you at all?""No," Yasmin stated blun

    Upon seeing Yasmin, Blake furrowed his brows and embraced her tightly. "You wouldn't come to Oak Garden, so I had to come find you. What else am I supposed to do?"Yasmin was suffocating as she patted his shoulder. "I can't breathe. You're strangling me."He finally let her go, but he was still visibly upset. "You knew my leg hadn't fully recovered, and it's hard for me to get around. Why don't you come back to see me?"Yasmin lowered her gaze, looking sad. "Sorry about that, but I haven't made up my mind yet.""Then, stop thinking about it." Blake grasped her hand, locking their fingers together. "Can't you just go with what your heart tells you?""I can't be as carefree as you," she mumbled."The more you think about it, the less happy you are." He glanced at her, took her hand, and led her inside. Smelling the aroma of food, he asked, "Are you cooking?""Yes. I haven't eaten dinner yet and just made some pasta. Have you eaten?""Not yet. I've been waiting for you all along

    Yasmin was working on her draft in her bedroom, but Blake's constant interruptions gave her a headache. She put down her pen and came out to glare at him. "Enough already! You keep calling me every few minutes. I'm trying to work here.""The couch is quite uncomfortable. My back hurts, and my legs feel awful. Can I lie down inside for a while?" With a pleading expression, Blake held a pillow and looked at her.Looking at his legs, she eventually gave in and said, "You're not making this up, right?""I'm not. It's really uncomfortable."Yasmin was worried that Blake's leg would get worse if he slept on the couch all night. She nodded and let him into the room. "You can sleep in the bed, but stay on the left side. Don't come over to my side. Got it?""Yeah." Blake lay down on her soft, scented bed and sighed contentedly. "Finally, this feels much better." Yasmin ignored him, returned to her chair, and continued working on her draft.However, Blake couldn't stay put for more tha

    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
