Chapter 88
Yasmine lay quietly in bed. Her face was slightly pale, but she was fully conscious.
Her gaze fell on Felicia, who was sitting at her bedside with a worried expression, With a gentle smile, Yasmine said, “Mom, I’m really fine. I’ll be better in a few days, so don’t worry.
Gazing at Yasinine, Felicia gently patted her arm in reassurance. “Yes, of course you’ll be fine.”
She turned slightly and palled a tiny figure standing beside her closer.
The little girl, only five years old, was as cute as a burton.
Her slightly chubby cheeks seemed to invite a pinch, and her round, big eyes were full of concern as she looked at Yasmine in the hospital bed.
Emma Stanton stepped forward and held Yasinine’s hand. Tilting her head, she said in a soft, cute voice, “Mominy, you’re going to get better. After you’re better, Daddy will take us to Happyland to see the princesses.”
tr that moment, Yasmine’s usually sharp and resolute gaze softened.
She reached out to gently touch Erma’s head, softly answering, “Alright. Mommy and Daddy will take you then ”
Emma nodded obediently.
Aaron Stanton beckoned to the little girl. “Emma, let your mommy rest and get better for now.”
With a nod, Emma ran to Aaron. “Daddy,” she said, clinging to his leg and standing close to his side.
Aaron scooped her up into his arms. His sharp, usually stoic face now bore an expression of deep concern.
His expensive suit was wrinkled, his jawline was shadowed with dark stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.
This disheveled version of Aaron was one Yasmine had never seen before.
Lowering her gaze, Yasmine felt a complex swirl of emotions in her heart.
If it weren’t for her illness, she might never have realized just how deeply Aaron cared for her.
Timothy, who had been silent all along, glanced around the room and said in a deep voice, “Alright, everyone should leave now. Staying here won’t help.”
His gaze fell on Aaron, and he continued, “Aaron, you should get some rest. Leave her to us for now.
After several days of exhaustion, even the toughest person would struggle.
Felicia also spoke up, her tone filled with concern. “That’s right. Don’t forget that you still have to look after Emma.”
Emma clung tightly to Aaron’s neck, leaning against his shoulder without fussing
Aaron merely shook his head lightly. “It’s fine. I’m not worried since Mary can take care of her.”
Seeing that she couldn’t persuade him, Felicia sighed inwardly and didn’t say more.
Right then, a soft knock sounded.
The knock on the door caught everyone’s attention, and all eyes turned toward the entrance.
Austin opened the door and stepped in.
Everyone in the room had different expressions when they saw Suzanne behind Austin.
Suzanne was a bit surprised to see so many people in the room.
But after a moment, she composed herself and walked forward, greeting politely, “Hello, Mr. Hall,”
Timothy had a dark expression on his face as he looked at Suzanne, but he did not respond.
Unbothered, Suzanne turned toward Felicia. “Hello, Mrs. Hall,”
Her tone was polite, and her smile was gentle, maintaining a respectful distance while exuding confidence.
Felicia smiled, somewhat surprised that Suzanne was willing to visit her daughter. She felt that she was a nice person.
“Suzanne, you sine. Please come and sir.”
Yasmine furrowed her brows, looking at Suzanne with displeasure. “What are you doing here?”
It was clear she didn’t welcome Suzanne’s presence.
Felicia glanced at Yasmine, sensing the tension. She didn’t want to scold Yasmine, so she merely whispered, “Yasmine.”
At that moment, Austin stepped forward and unexpectedly took Suzanne’s hand.
Suzanne fraze for a moment.
