Germaine rolled her eyes and said, “What? Beg you? Bah! Jeremy, who do you think you are? Do you think you’re better than Credence? With Credence’s network, Belle can find a bone marrow donor in minutes. Belle is going to live for a long, long time.”
He lazily leaned against the elevator door and stared at Germaine’s angry little face with a smile. “Okay, then let’s wait and see! Germaine, I’ll bet that you are going to call me in less than a week.”
“Call you my *ss! I’d rather call a rat than you! If you keep talking, I’ll get Credence to beat you up!”
“Germaine, I like your wild personality. It’s so exciting!”
Jeremy raised his hands and clapped. A gust of cold wind brushed by. Not only was he disturbingly calm, he even raised his eyebrows evilly. He looked like a lazy cheetah.
“F*ck off!”
Germaine was so angry that she stomped her feet and shouted back. She could not wait to rush over to Jeremy and scratch him up with her nails.
Before, when she used to like him, he was like a ghost, she couldn’t find him no matter how hard she tried. Now that she no longer liked him, he kept pursuing her like a pervert and he kept flirting with her too. What the hell did he take her for?
Right?
Who did he think she was to him?
Did he take her for some wild animal that he could play with as he pleased?
But before she could even take a step forward, Juelz pulled her back. “That’s enough, let’s not waste any more time talking to him. Let’s go to the ward to visit Dory.”
“Our plan has always been to see Dory, who knew that I would meet such a shameless man as soon as I got out of the elevator. Could you blame me for that?”
After Germaine finished yelling, she lowered her head and tidied up her dress. She then carefully swept her eyes over the flowers and fruit baskets in her hand. She let out a sigh of relief when she was sure that they were still in good condition.
She especially went to the supermarket to buy these things when she heard that Dorothy had woken up. She wanted to brighten her mood.
These days, it seemed like something was off. As if Dorothy had been cursed or something. Her luck was surprisingly bad.
Perhaps, after some time, when Dorothy and Juelz were in better shape, she would visit a church in Kowloon City to pray for some good luck.
It was said that the church there granted miracles, it could fulfill any wish.
As Germaine thought of these messy things in her mind, she turned around and walked forward with Juelz. Without getting very far, she heard something moving behind her. She then secretly looked back at the elevator.
And then, she saw Jeremy leaning against the wall, he wasn’t moving at all. He stared at her deeply with a sinister smile on his face, he then mouthed a few words towards her.
From the looks of it, it seemed like he was telling her, “Germaine, you will definitely come to me, I’ll be waiting for you!”
As if!
After peeping at him and getting caught, Germaine’s face suddenly froze. She was embarrassed and quickly looked away. She caught up to Juelz and quickly walked away.
After making a right turn, she saw Ysabelle slowly pushing Yezoo on his wheelchair. It seemed like Yezoo was holding a test report. He was in high spirits.
Even though Germaine was a couple of meters away from him, she could still feel it.
…
Yezoo, looked up at Juelz and Germaine with a smile on his face. “Juelz, Germaine, are you here to visit Dorothy?! She just woke up and is eating right now. It looks like she’s in good spirits.”
“That’s right, Germaine and I are here to see her.”
Juelz frowned as he looked at Yezoo. Then, he turned his gaze towards Ysabelle, who was standing proudly. He did not understand why this woman was acting this way. What the hell is she thinking?
“Cough, cough…”
Germaine immediately coughed. She glanced at Yezoo, and said sharply, “Uncle, Dory maybe your biological daughter. But is it necessary to be so happy as a father so soon? Haste makes waste. Besides, you still have to wait until the paternity tests are out.”
Despite being scolded by his own niece, Yezoo didn’t take it seriously. He turned back and looked at Ysabelle, who was forcing herself to stay calm. He shook his head and said with a smile, “Germaine, you have to be reasonable. I don’t know what kind of man can stand you in the future! Alright, you and Juelz can go ahead. I won’t keep you two from meeting with Dorothy.”
“Alright, uncle, if she really is your daughter, then you should give a reward to Juelz and me.”
Germaine blinked her eyes and looked at Yezoo mischievously. She smiled and said, “If it weren’t for Juelz and me, it’s very likely that Dory might not even have made it this far…”
Before she finished talking, she was interrupted by Juelz.
He suddenly turned around and shouted at her, “Shut up! Let bygones be bygones. Why the hell are you talking so much?!”
In all fairness, Juelz really hoped that Dorothy wasn’t Yezoo and Ysabelle’s daughter.
This old couple who were over fifty may look gentle and graceful, but in reality, that man has done a lot of shameful things. But he did manage to clean up his mess. Could he still be considered a good person though?
As for Ysabelle, there was no need to talk about her
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that using every vulgar word in the dictionary to describe her wouldn’t be enough.
He did not know if it was Dorothy’s good luck or misfortune to have such parents.
After Juelz scolded her, Germaine immediately shut her mouth. She hurriedly picked up the flowers and fruit basket in her hand and quickly followed him, they walked towards the ward.
When they had disappeared from view, the joy on Yezoo’s face slowly dissipated. He raised his head and stared at Ysabelle for a while before asking, “Ysabelle, tell me, who is Sheldon? Is it Sheldon Scott?”
Ysabelle could not take it anymore. She stopped her graceful breathing and started panicking. She looked at him and said, “Yezoo, are you doubting me just because of Jeremy’s provocation? I have been with you for 30 years, and I have never done anything wrong to you.”
“I didn’t say you did!”
Yezoo’s gaze suddenly flashed as he spoke in a hushed tone, “Since you know Sheldon, then why did you act as though you’ve never met him during the charity banquet?”
Ysabelle took a deep breath, and she started to think. She calmly thought of a story and carefully said, “Yezoo, you should know, before I married you, I worked at a bar. I might have met Sheldon a few times when I was drinking with him. But I really didn’t know him that well, we can’t even be considered friends… So I didn’t mention him.”
Her face, which was covered in makeup, completely hid her real emotions. However, she was clenching her bag, and her hands trembled ever so slightly that it wasn’t very visible.
Yezoo couldn’t find a trace of guilt in her eyes. His expression gradually softened. “Ysabelle, I don’t mean to blame you. After all, for you, I have betrayed my entire family and all the friends in my life and I’ve paid a great price for it. I absolutely can’t tolerate a woman who loves another man.”
“Yezoo, if it weren’t for you, Jeremy and I would probably still be in a mess. How could I let you down?” She smiled as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. “I understand and remember everything you have done for me.”
“Okay, stop crying. It’s my fault for doubting you!” Yezoo stretched out his hand and held her arm. “I’ve reconciled with my daughter today. It’s a great joy. After the paternity test results are out, I am going to hold a grand banquet. I want to let everyone in Talco City know that Dorothy is our daughter.”
This was just a small matter, and Ysabelle wouldn’t reject it. She nodded and said, “Okay.” She then held the handle behind the wheelchair with her hands and slowly pushed Yezoo forward.
But her face gradually turned cold and gloomy.
Sheldon was a man who had thoroughly hurt her heart, how could she not know him?!
For so many nights, she wished and hoped that he would die!
Those deep, dark secrets of hers would only be destroyed forever with that man’s death.
….
When Juelz and Germaine walked into the ICU, Dorothy, who had just finished having a scrumptious lunch, was slouching on the bed with her eyes closed.
Hearing their rapid footsteps getting closer, she slowly opened her watery eyes. She looked at the two of them, smiled and said. “Juelz, Germaine, you are here. Why did you bring so many things?”
“Oh, you sleeping beauty, you’re finally awake, that’s great! Come on, I have some beautiful flowers for some beautiful people, these are for you! Juelz picked them out!”
Germaine then sighed with a particularly serious look. “Hey, Dory, I really didn’t expect you to be the daughter of my uncle and that damned woman. What a brutal truth! Look at this man standing right in front of you. He’s loved you for so many years that it’s almost engraved in his very soul. Now, you’ve become his cousin, what is he going to do about that?”
“Germaine, would it kill you to talk less?”
Juelz’s face was livid. He looked back at Dorothy and said irritably, “Dory, are you sure you are Yezoo’s daughter?”
