When Ysabelle got Leilani’s call, she’d just washed up after getting out of bed. She was sitting in front of the luxurious dressing table in the bedroom. She picked up expensive skin care products and carefully applied them to her face from the mirror.
“What? You want me to go to the hospital to donate blood with you? Leilani, are you insane? Dorothy is your daughter, at most, she is just my niece. What does her blood loss have anything to do with me?”
Ysabelle put on lipstick as she stared at herself in the mirror. She looked at her perfect make-up and sneered, “If I were just a little bit more cold-blooded, I could tell you right now that I absolutely don’t care about whether Dorothy lives or dies.”
Leilani was not angry with that. On the contrary, she threatened vaguely, “Ysabelle, you deliberately asked me to approach Dorothy because you wanted me to get the news of the man you loved so much in the past. He was the same man who never gave you any chance at all.”
“If anything really goes wrong with Dorothy this time, the relationship between the Scott family and I will be broken. Once our relationship is broken, you will never be able to get any news about that man. Ysabelle, don’t you think I’m right?”
At this, Ysabelle threw her lipstick at the mirror in anger.
“Leilani, are you threatening me? What a great sister you are.”
“Ysabelle, you are the matriarch of the Sherman family, noble and rich. How would I possibly dare to threaten you? As sisters, we should share in each other’s pride and downfall, don’t you think? Over the years, you’ve enjoyed living the upper class life, but what about me? I was only slightly better than off than a stray dog, but you never bothered about me.”
“Now, I have finally found my daughter, and I can finally live a good and comfortable life. Ysabelle, let me tell you, if you don’t help me this time and make me lose everything, then don’t blame me for not caring about our sisterhood and destroying our relationship.”
“In conclusion, if you make things difficult for me, I won’t make things easy for you either.”
“I will definitely expose your true colors in front of Yezoo. I’ll let him know that you have never loved him and all the affection you have ever shown him was a lie that you directed yourself.”
“I’ll reveal your b*tchy side to the public. I want to see whether Yezoo will continue to love you after he knows that you have only used him as a stepping stone to rise for power!”
As Ysabelle listened to Leilani’s laughter, her hand tightened around the phone and her expression cooled. She gritted her teeth and said, “Leilani, shut up! Fine, I’ll go! Give me the address!”
She knew that her twin sister had never liked to see her living a better life than her. Therefore, after she married Yezoo and brought Jeremy to the Sherman family with her, she immediately blocked all contacts with Leilani and never met her ever again.
This time, if it weren’t for the fact that she wanted to get the information of that man from her, she would never have contacted Leilani to tell her about Dorothy’s existence at all.
Now, her selfish plan had caused Leilani to grab hold of her.
The more Ysabelle thought about it, the angrier she got. She changed into the latest Chanel suit with a cold face and walked out of the bedroom with a leather bag of the same color. She bumped into Yezoo, who was just coming out of the study room in his wheelchair.
He was keenly aware of Ysabelle’s slight anger, thus he moved his wheelchair over to her side, reached out his hand and gently grasped her fair wrist. He said in a low voice, “Ysabelle, who made you angry so early in the morning? Tell me, I will help you seek revenge.”
At this moment, the maid came to them with breakfast in her hands. There was a wide variety of choices.
Ysabelle took a piece of bread and placed it on his plate, smiling gently and virtuously. “Yezoo, as you said, it’s so early in the morning, who would piss me off? Leilani just called me and invited me out for breakfast and shopping since she’s free today.”
Yezoo took his breakfast from her and placed it on the tray in front of his wheelchair. When he heard Leilani’s name, he frowned, but quickly smoothened it out. He smiled at Ysabelle gently. “It’s good for the two of you to catch up with each other, since it’s been so long since you last saw each other.”
“I heard that Leilani had just reconciled with her daughter. This is such a happy event! In terms of relationship, she is my niece, too! She should call me uncle. When we have time, we should call Leilani and ask her to visit us.”
At this, Yezoo thought of his daughter, who’d died just half a month after being born, and sighed, sorrow filling his eyes. “Ysabelle, I remember Leilani’s daughter was born in the same month as our daughter. If it weren’t for that sudden illness, she would be thirty one this year, probably married and with children of her own, living a happy life.”
Yezoo waved a hand. “Alas, all I can do now is to reminisce about the past. Ysabelle, since Leilani’s invited you out, just go. Don’t spend all your time with a cripple like me in here.”
These words were full of affection, but Ysabelle had long gotten used to it. She calmly nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll be leaving first. I’ll bring some snacks back for you.”
Once Ysabelle was out of the villa, Yezoo called out to a young assistant who’d just walked out of the study after tidying up the documents inside. “Suffle, find out for me whether there’s any news about Leilani and a woman named Dorothy Fisher on the Internet.”
“Right away, Mr. Sherman.”
Recently, Dorothy and Leilani’s bad deeds had caused a stir on the Internet. Suffle found a few photos and videos related to Dorothy effortlessly. He respectfully handed it to Yezoo. “Mr. Sherman, everything you want is in here.”
Yezoo glanced at the photos. Most of it only showed her side profile, and he could not see her face at all. He could only vaguely assume that this woman was quite beautiful, she almost looked like Leilani when she was young.
However, when Yezoo played the video, his pupils contracted rapidly, as if he had seen a ghost.
The lighting in the video was dim and yellowish, but he could clearly see something unusual on Dorothy’s smooth back. That, that was clearly…
If it weren’t for that perfect angle, he would not see anything strange from it. He would only think that the spot was just darker than the other parts of her skin.
Confusion mixed with shock washed over Yezoo, causing a storm in his heart.
His breathing sped up. “Suffle, I need you to secretly find something out for me. Remember, you can only report to me on this, and you have to keep this from Mrs. Sherman. You understand me?”
Suffle nodded, and replied with a solemn, “Yes, sir.”
…
In the laboratory of the hospital, Ysabelle and Leilani were confirmed to be blood type A, and the doctor drew blood from them under Marvin’s instructions.
After they were done, Ysabelle felt weak and uncomfortable. She did not want to move at all, thus she simply laid on the lounge and closed her eyes to rest.
Leilani glanced at her. Although she was weak as well, she managed to stand up quietly. She followed the doctor from behind and watched the doctor leave the room with the bag of blood in his hands.
As he was about to enter the elevator, Leilani stepped forward and walked to the doctor and said with a smile, “Doctor, you made a mistake with the blood bag with my sister’s name on it. Please correct it now so that you won’t waste any time when rescuing my daughter.”
The doctor was confused. He was sure that he had followed every step without mistake. However, since she had mentioned it, he had to obey her. Besides, it would not take any time to correct that mistake at all.
Leilani stared at the doctor throughout the process, and she changed her attitude completely. She was so elated that she praised him, “Doctor, thank you. With such a good doctor like you, my daughter will surely be fine.”
After the doctor walked into the elevator, Leilani slowly stopped smiling and turned back to stare at the transparent glass in the emergency room. She saw that Ysabelle’s eyes were still closed. She knew nothing about the things that had just happened. Leilani could not help but smile proudly.
…
Soon, a large amount of blood was sent to the emergency room for the doctors to save Dorothy’s life.
In the end, the operation, which had lasted for nearly 12 hours, had finally come to an end.
Dorothy was now safe and sound, and the child in her womb was also safe.
Marvin and Jonathan, who were waiting outside the emergency room, heard the good news from the attending doctor who had come out of the emergency room. They could not help but cheer with joy on their faces.
Credence was laying on his bed with a calm face. He did not cheer, he only turned his head to the other side of the wall.
However, Marvin had sharp eyes. The moment Credence tilted his head, he saw the light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
With that, Marvin understood that Credence had shed tears. His tears were because Dorothy had managed to be rescued.
Juelz’s reaction was the most ridiculous, he rushed up to the white-haired doctor and got so close to him that he almost kissed him. His eyes were full of tears, “Doctor, thank you for saving Dory. Thank you, thank you so much!”
Jonathan glared at him in a discontented way, “Sh*t, Juelz, you look really cheap right now!”
Juelz did not care about Jonathan at all. He only pulled the attending doctor aside and asked him about the things that Dorothy should pay attention to, how she should take her treatment and so on.
After that, the unconscious Dorothy was sent to the monitoring ward.
However, after two days, not only was she still in a coma, she even had a high fever. Her entire body was burning up.
Throughout the whole time, Credence had stayed by her side in his hospital bed, his heart in his throat.
