"There’s no use in worrying, madam." Sue shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "I know sir won't let you g o especially during this critical time. Madam, just tell him directly that you can't go."
"But it's not good to do so. I was the one who promised him at the beginning, but now I’m breaking my promise..." 1
"You promised him last time, but we’re talking about the present, madam. You have to understand the current situation. Sir will be worried if something happens when you go abroad. And don't forget that the Smith family from overseas are relatives of the Taylor family. What if they hand you over to Shaw Taylor?" 1
Yvonne bit her lower lip. "I believe that Sam won't do s o."
She was very fond of Sam and she believed that he wasn't that kind of person.
"Oh, madam." Sue touched her hair and said, "Mr. Smith won't do so, but who knows about the rest of the Smith family? If one of the family members in the Smith family sides with the Taylor family, then you’re certainly giving yourself to the devil. They'll hand you over to Shaw Taylor and threaten sir." "This..." Yvonne was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
Looking at her expression, Sue knew that Yvonne listened to her. She quickly said, "So madam, you should reject Mr. Smith, for now, to avoid this from happening. You can go again when Shaw Taylor is caught." 1
Yvonne was completely convinced. She sighed softly, " Okay, I'll talk to Sam then."
She picked up her mobile phone and held it in both hands. Then, she typed a text message to Sam and told him that she couldn't go with him in four days' time. She hoped that he wouldn't be angry.
Soon, Sam replied to her text message.
"What did he say?" Sue probed.
Yvonne read the text message and showed it to Sue generously. "He said it’s fine and I should take good care of my health for now. He even asked me not to feel guilty about it and let him know when I'm ready t o go.
"Mr. Smith is quite reasonable," Sue said with a smile.
Yvonne put her mobile phone away. "Yeah, he’s a gentleman and his personality is really nice too. But this makes me feel even more guilty."
"There’s nothing to feel guilty about. It’s all because of the current situation.” Sue patted her on her shoulder. "When everything’s over, you can talk to sir and let him accompany you." "We'll talk about it by then.” Yvonne smiled and didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Knowing that she was unhappy, Sue walked to the window and opened the curtains. "Madam, the weather is pretty good today. Do you want to go on a stroll in the garden?"
Garden?
Yvonne straightened her back, wavering a little.
But the next second, she thought of something and shook her head. "Forget it, I'll go and see Elliot."
"Alright, I’ll go with you then." Sue picked up a coat and put it on for her. Then, she accompanied Yvonne t o the ICU.
Elliot's situation was still the same. He laid motionlessly on the bed without any movement or reaction.
Yvonne would blame herself every single time she came over because she always thought that it was all her fault that Elliot was in this situation.
"Madam, you should go in. I’ll wait for you outside." Sue let go of Yvonne.
Yvonne hummed. She then put on the protective overall and went into the ICU. She stayed in the ICU for almost two hours before she came out with red eyes.
After coming out, Sue walked over and handed her the
mobile phone. "Madam, your phone just rang.”
"Who was it?” Yvonne asked.
"It's your brother."
"Jason?” Yvonne frowned.
Sue nodded. "Yes, it's him. He called several times. I'm not sure if he's asking for money again. I didn't want t o disturb you when you were talking to young sir, so I turned off your mobile phone."
"Okay, I got it," Yvonne replied while turning on her mobile phone.
As soon as the phone was turned on, several missed calls appeared on the screen, including a text message.
Yvonne didn't want to return Jason's call, so she deleted those missed calls and checked the text message: Sister, Mom heard that you're pregnant, so she wanted to come and see you.
"This is strange!" Sue murmured.
Yvonne turned to look at her. "What’s the matter?"
