Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 171 - チャプター 180

Almost immediately, Blake's phone rang at that moment.It was Giselle calling. "Blake, your mom wants to see you. She isn't feeling well."Blake glanced at the woman quietly leaning against the windowsill, still lost in thought. But eventually, he decided not to approach her and went to the hospital instead.At the hospital, when Blake opened the door, he saw Giselle massaging Annalise's abdomen. Annalise's face was pale, and she seemed to be in a terrible condition."Mom, are you okay?" Blake sat down and held his mother's hand.Annalise weakly patted his hand back, saying, "I've been having more stomach pains lately. I don't think I'll last much longer."Blake's expression was somber as he consoled her, "Don't be silly. Medicine has improved tremendously by now. You'll be as good as new once the surgery is done.""Stop lying to me. They're going to perform a total gastrectomy on me this time. Even if the surgery is successful, I'll only have a year or two left. But if it f

The next day, Yasmin went to work. Eunice recently went on a business trip, so she needed to visit the studio every day.Suddenly, Sarah came over and told Yasmin, "Ms. Starr, a guest is looking for you downstairs.""I'll be down in a second." Yasmin put down the sketches she was holding and headed downstairs.Meanwhile, Giselle was waiting for her in the showroom. When she saw Yasmin, she smiled and asked, "Yasmin, have you returned the bag to Blake?""Yeah." Yasmin's expression was calm. "Is there something you need from our studio?"Giselle smiled. "Of course. Blake proposed to me at the hospital last night."Yasmin stiffened and felt thousands of needles piercing her heart. Blake proposed to Giselle last night? Did that mean that he proposed to her right after their quarrel?"We'll have our wedding after Anna's surgery, so I wanted to have my wedding dress made here," Giselle continued, seemingly oblivious to Yasmin's pain.Yasmin was a mess, and her knees nearly gave o

Yasmin's head was a mess as she walked out of the police station, and she didn't know what to do anymore.After some thought, she decided to give Ivan a call. Ivan was silent for a while before comforting her, "Don't panic. I'll send someone to track her down.""Can you find her?""I'll try." Ivan hung up after comforting her.Meanwhile on Ivan's side, Summer poured him a cup of coffee and asked, "Mr. Burke, are you really going to help Ms. Starr find that woman?"Ivan was sitting on the sofa flipping through some documents as he asked, "How much would Yasmin need to pay if she breaches the contract?"Summer replied, "We spent 50 million on publicity in Eulandia and Aventia before and after the new product launch. So, if we can't sell the designs, she'll probably need to pay 50 million dollars in compensation."Ivan pondered for a moment. "Start drawing up a contract. Have her compensate the 50 million dollars."Summer was surprised. "Sir, aren't we going to look for Amy Adam

In the hospital, Erik handed the bowl of soup to Yasmin. "Your employee stole your design drawings?"Yasmin was surprised. "How did you know?""I just had to ask around." Erik sat on the chair, looking quite handsome.Yasmin sighed. She didn't expect news to travel so quickly. Didn't that mean that her reputation was already ruined?Erik stared at her as she remained silent. He said, "Actually, you don't have to look so down. You'll be able to clear your name if you can find Amy Adams or the person who framed you.""Easier said than done. Amy Adams has gone abroad, so it won't be easy to find her now." Yasmin was weary. Although Ivan had said he'd help her search for Amy, he most likely wouldn't have time for that now that he was in hot water as well. Erik raised an eyebrow. "I can help you with that.""You'll look for her?""Mm-hmm."Yasmin studied him. "Why would you help me?""Don't I still owe you an apology for what happened last time?" Erik replied. Yasmin was

Yasmin's fever returned in the middle of the night, so Blake called the doctor in.The doctor told him that Yasmin had already been given a fever reducer earlier and couldn't have more for the next few hours. So, they could only try to physically reduce her temperature.Blake studied Yasmin and flushed cheeks as she mumbled incoherently. Then, he removed his coat and rolled up his sleeves before bringing over a basin of warm water to cool her off."Dad…" Yasmin mumbled as her lashes quivered slightly. Blake leaned in closer to listen to what she was saying.In her feverish state, Yasmin murmured, "D-Don't worry, Dad… I'll get you out soon…"Blake's eyes darkened when he heard this, and thoughts began filling his head."It's so cold…" Yasmin suddenly wrapped her arms around herself and shivered.She was freezing and felt as though her entire body was submerged in an ice bath.She almost wanted to curl up into herself to warm her body up, but Blake quickly hugged her, as if he
