By the time court was in session again, Kiki had already dried her tears. She didn't want Leonard to look down on her.Once again, she explained to the court how Xavier and Yvette's marriage was broken and how he asserted cold violence. Without any new evidence, the judge was ready to conclude the trial. Suddenly, Yvette said, "I would like to say something."The judge looked at her and allowed her to speak. She looked at Xavier before turning to the audience. "I had an affair."Everyone started muttering to each other immediately, and Xavier's deep gaze turned complicated. She didn't stop there."Mr. Lane and I never had anything real between us. Mr. Cook mentioned how I had sexual intercourse with Mr. Lane in the past few months, and I admit that is true. "However, I just wanted revenge. Mr. Lane looked down on me previously, and he never cared for me as his wife."I hate him, and I've had countless nightmares during the five years I was away from Tirion. He was in every one
Since Leonard was a lawyer, he had always been more attentive than others. When the foreigners drove away, he sneakily followed them.…Meanwhile, Xavier was personally driving with Yvette in the passenger seat. He thought about what she had said during the trial and said, "Do you really want to get a divorce?"Even though he knew the answer, he still wanted to ask her that one more time."Yeah." She nodded and added, "As long as you agree to it, I promise not to take anything from you. All I want is my freedom."Xavier was speechless, and he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Did you mean what you said during the trial?"Yvette hesitated for a moment before saying, "That doesn't matter anymore, right?" She looked at him and added, "If you still don't want to get a divorce, I'll tell the whole world that I was with someone else a long time ago."That was the cruelest idea she could come up with. Xavier liked to keep up his reputation. He wouldn't let something like
It was snowing heavily outside. Yvette had a long dream, and she didn't remember what it was about. All she could hear were voices next to her."She's pregnant?""Yes. She's been pregnant for eight weeks."When Shannon heard the doctor, there was a hint of joy in her furious gaze on Yvette. Eight weeks ago, Yvette had been with Xavier, and that meant the child she was carrying belonged to him!"Dr. Lloyd, you have to take good care of her, especially the child in her belly. You mustn't let anything happen to them.""Don't worry, Madam Shannon."There was no way she wouldn't be worried. Xavier was still in the ICU in critical condition, so she couldn't let anything happen to her grandchild in Yvette's belly.When Shannon left the ward to see Xavier, Yvette opened her tired eyes and finally saw her surroundings. She couldn't help placing her hand on her belly and looked downward at her legs in gauze."Oh, you're awake, Ms. Snyder!" a nurse said when she saw Yvette was awake. She
The wind was strong outside, and the tree outside was covered in so much snow that it was bending to one side. When the nurse brought Yvette her dinner, she didn't have much appetite and only took a few bites.Shannon suddenly came and said nothing as she closed the curtains. Compared to how glorious she had looked before, she looked extra miserable and pale at that moment. There was a deafening silence in the ward.Shannon turned around to look at Yvette and went straight to the point. "The baby you're carrying belongs to Xavier, right?"The latter instinctively lied, "No."Shannon narrowed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. "You don't have to lie. I know you were with Xav when you got pregnant.""Were you watching over us during the night as well?" Yvette asked.Shannon was stunned into silence. Xavier wasn't awake yet, and Yvette was saying that the child wasn't his. Shannon wondered if someone else was really going to inherit the Lane family's assets. She wouldn't al
Shannon left the room in a hurry. Yvette followed her out. However, before she reached the ICU ward on the second floor, the bodyguard stopped her. "I'm sorry, but Madam Shannon has said that no one is allowed on the second floor other than herself."She had no choice but to return to her ward and wait for further news. She hoped nothing would happen to Xavier, especially his eyes. It wasn't because she still loved him. She just didn't want to owe him anything else.After an uncertain amount of time, a bodyguard knocked on the door. "Ms. Snyder, Madam Shannon has requested you to see her."When Yvette heard that, she left her ward and headed to the second floor. As Kiki had described, the entire floor was highly guarded. Other than Shannon, there were only the bodyguards and medical staff.The bodyguard approached Shannon and said, "Madam Shannon, Ms. Snyder is here.""Got it." She walked to the door and looked at Yvette with her reddened eyes. "Xav wants to see you."Yvette
Yvette still didn't believe he had lost his memories. After all, she had used the same trick before. She immediately pulled her hand away. "Drop the act, Xavier. I know you didn't really lose your memories."When Xavier's hands were empty, he started reaching out and searching again. "Where are you, Yvvy?" Since he couldn't see, he could only reach his hands aimlessly.Benedict had just tended to his wounds, and it seemed like they were about to break open again. His injuries were serious.After getting emotional earlier, he felt like he had been hit by a huge boulder in the head. After the nurse administered some anesthesia, he lost consciousness right away.Before he fell asleep, he muttered again, "Yvvy…"Benedict called Yvette and Shannon out of the ward."Ms. Snyder, you can't provoke him anymore. According to our diagnosis, Mr. Lane had a concussion during the accident. "The nerves in his brain were damaged, and that caused his amnesia. He wasn't putting up an act. There
Yvette froze as she uncomfortably looked at Xavier. He couldn't see anything and could only tell where she was using his hearing. "Can you take me to the toilet?"She returned to her senses and reached out. "Sure."She helped him get out of bed and immediately left him in the toilet after telling him where the toilet bowl was.After a long while, there was suddenly a loud crash coming from inside. Yvette hurried into the toilet. When she opened the door, she saw that he had accidentally knocked a glass off the sink, sending it crashing to the ground. He had bent over to pick it up, and it cut his hand. Blood was gushing out of the wound."You've cut your hand."She quickly stopped him from moving. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and asked the question from last night again. "Do you find me disgusting?"Yvette was slightly stunned, and she didn't answer him. Instead, she gently pried his hand away from her. "I'll get the nurse to tend to your wound."After ten minutes, the nurse
Xavier let go of Yvette and returned to his usual cold self. She thought he really had been putting on an act and figured he had stopped doing it after seeing how resolute she was. So, she stood up and said, "I'll prepare another divorce lawsuit."After saying that, she grabbed her bag and left the ward. When she reached the hallway, Shannon was waiting for her there. Seeing that Yvette had come out, Shannon blocked her path. "Look at how pitiful Xav is. Are you still going to get a divorce?"Yvette knew she couldn't go soft at this moment, so she looked at Shannon coldly."When my dad got into an accident and passed away, my family slowly fell into despair. My hearing impairment got worse, and I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Did you guys ever consider my feelings back then?"You knew perfectly well that Xavier had never touched me, but you kept forcing me to take fertility drugs. Did you consider how I felt back then?"Shannon didn't know how to refute that, b
