Yasmin trembled. When she noticed movement in her father's isolation unit. Stuart's finger twitched, and tears streamed down from the corner of his eye.Even Stuart was saddened for her, wasn't he? Yes, Stuart had once told her not to be with Blake, to escape from here and never come back.But she didn't listen. Unable to control her own heart, Yasmin had allowed others to humiliate her again.Full of bitterness, Yasmin lowered her eyes and followed Stuart's bed out.At this moment, the elevator door opened, and Blake came out with a cold expression. The man she had been trying to contact all along had finally arrived, but he was too late.Seeing Stuart lying in the isolation pod, being pushed out by several medical staff, his expression darkened. "What happened?"He reached out to grab Yasmin's hand.Annalise and others were right behind her. They stood up when they saw this scene."Mr. Ford, please let go of me." Yasmin's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth."What on ear
At the nursing home, Stuart was placed in the ICU. This facility didn't have Westview Hospital Center's advanced equipment, so they could only maintain Stuart's vital signs as they were before.Hope had been within reach, but now they were back to square one.Yasmin quietly watched her father's face through the glass window, thinking about the tears he shed at the hospital.The feeling of deep discomfort made her feel like ants were gnawing her heart.Ivan stood beside her and asked, "Your dad and James Ford…"From Annalise's words earlier, Ivan had picked up on some things.Yasmin glanced at him and explained the situation without hiding anything. After all, Ivan had already heard part of it, and with his intelligence, he likely understood most of the situation.After listening, Ivan sighed. "I didn't expect such things to have happened between you all."Yasmin said nothing.Even though she felt her father wasn't the culprit, the evidence was there. If it went to court, she w
She politely declined his company in a distant manner. Ivan nodded gentlemanly, glanced at Blake, and then left.After he left, Yasmin remained at the ICU door. Since Stuart had just been transferred here, she needed to stay in case anything happened.Blake stood beside her, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders. "Have you had dinner?"Yasmin looked at him with a cold gaze.Sensing she was about to say something, Blake quickly changed the subject. "I'll have Malcolm send over some food."Yasmin didn't object. She needed to talk to him, anyway.Blake ordered a few of her favorite dishes. He opened several thermal containers and placed them in front of her, even peeling a few shrimp for her.Yasmin ate quietly.After dinner, Blake noticed the shrimp he had peeled still sitting in her bowl. His eyes darkened with a complicated expression."Why didn't you answer the phone today?" Yasmin asked as she put down her cutlery after he finished eating."I went to the priso
She didn't want to be the shameless woman Annalise described anymore.From the beginning, she knew this relationship couldn't last. It was simply reaching its end now, so she decided to accept it."I've told you, this matter is still under investigation. Even though Elise is dead, we might find something in Merania," Blake insisted.He remembered the dark-skinned Meranian police officer he met there. Finding that person might lead to some clues.Yasmin shook her head. "I know you're investigating, but I don't want to live in humiliation."Today, Anna…" She corrected herself. "Mrs. Ford didn't look well. She's probably worn out worrying about you. You should listen to her."Annalise had previously battled cancer. Although it hadn't recurred, she hadn't fully recovered. Without a stomach, emotional stress could easily cause problems again.Yasmin feared that if they stubbornly continued their relationship, it might worsen Annalise's condition. If something happened to her, Yasmin
Annalise could see that Lizzie and Marie had some hidden motives, but compared to Stuart's daughter, Annalise was more willing to accept Lizzie.Even if the grudges with Yasmin could be resolved, there would always be a wall between them.It was different with Lizzie. She was the adoptive daughter of Annalise's sister, and Annallise thought they had a closer bond.If their families were united by marriage, there would be no typical conflicts that usually happened between in-laws, making them even closer."Alright, I'll have Blake come back tonight. Lizzie, you should seize this opportunity," Annalise said.Lizzie's eyes brightened, and she nodded.…That night, Annalise called Blake back to Stanton Bay, using her health as an excuse.When he entered the bedroom, he saw Lizzie sitting beside Annalise. She was sorting out some medications and reminding Annalise to take them on time every day."Lizzie, you're such a good child," Annalise praised her with a smile.She had met man
It was nothing more than Yasmin lowering herself to seduce him before.If Lizzie could also humble herself, Blake would definitely accept her.Silently cheering herself on, Lizzie went to her room and took out a sexy nightgown. She took a bath, put on the nightgown, brushed her long hair, and even sprayed on some perfume.She looked and smelled charming and seductive.After that, she went back to the first floor.Eddie was already waiting for her, holding a bowl of soup. "Ms. Lizzie, this is prepared for you by Madam Annalise. Mr. Blake is working upstairs. You should go look for him."Lizzie glanced at the bowl of soup, "Eddie, this soup…"Eddie nodded and smiled, "Some herbs that can make a man's blood boil have been added."Annalise wanted to use this to make sure that things between Blake and Lizzie would go to the point of no return tonight.Lizzie's face turned even redder upon hearing this. She took the tray from Eddie and walked upstairs with small, delicate steps.Li
It was a warning.Lizzie looked at him with a pale face, "Roxy is your cousin, your blood relative. Yet, you treat her this way?""She has continuously caused trouble, so she deserves to be punished. Otherwise, she'll continue to think she's very clever," Blake said slowly and lazily.Lizzie's expression was extremely unpleasant. She said in a low voice, "Technically, she didn't do anything wrong. She just handed those things to Aunt Anne; it's a fact."Blake didn't even raise his gaze, his tone unchanged: "What happens between Yasmin and I is none of anyone's business."He glanced at her.Their eyes met, and Lizzie felt inexplicably guilty. She lowered her head. "Maybe she just wanted to help you find your way back.""I know whether she did it for me or herself." Blake lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the bowl of soup, "Something is in this soup, right?"He could tell at a glance. Previously, Annalise asked Yasmin to give him a bowl of soup too.He could taste an odd med
Ivan said, "You don't need to worry about that. I can arrange for medical personnel and a helicopter. You can leave with them. It shouldn't be a problem."Yasmin was silent for a moment. Then, she said, "Wouldn't seeking treatment overseas cost much money?"She had about a million in her account; she feared it wouldn't be enough if she hired a team of experts to save her father."Oh, you’re worried about that." Ivan smiled and said, "We can negotiate with them. Some teams are developing new drugs. It might be free if your father is willing to participate in a trial. You would only need to pay for hospitalization."Yasmin's eyes glistened. "Is that possible?"Ivan nodded.Yasmin thought momentarily and asked, "Is it risky to participate in a trial?""There is some risk, of course." Iven was blunt with her. "However, it might be worth participating in a trial with your father's current condition; there's a chance he could wake up."Yasmin didn't speak, seemingly hesitant.Ivan s
