A sinister smile appeared on Elise's face. It was completely unmatched with her innocent appearance. She said coldly, "Yasmin, I didn't want to kill you, but you're truly a pain in my side. You refused to leave me be and kept investigating me. I've had enough of you.""I didn't investigate you." Yasmin looked panicked. She explained, "Elise, this evidence isn't related to you. Don't misunderstand."Her panicked appearance caught Elise's attention even more. Elise focused on the item in Yasmin's hand and demanded, "Give it to me."Yasmin didn't want to hand it over. She hid the evidence behind her back.Elise's expression turned colder. "I told you to hand it over, didn't you hear me? If you don't, I'll shoot you.""Don't shoot!" Fear flashed in Yasmin's eyes. She cautiously handed over the item in her hand. She looked at Elise and asked, "So, you really killed someone before?"Elise chuckled sinisterly. "Yeah, so what? Those people deserved to die. They think they're superior,
This was the last secret that Yasmin wanted to know.She stared firmly at Elise.However, Elise didn't want to talk anymore. She snorted disdainfully and said, "You don't need to know about that. After I've killed you, I'll look for your dad in the hospital and let the both of you reunite in hell."Having said that, she pulled the trigger.…Meanwhile, Blake had already returned to the country.He checked his phone and saw several missed calls from Tyler.He had a bad feeling when he saw the missed calls. His expression turned gloomy as he quickly returned Tyler's call. His first words were "Where's Yasmin?""Mr. Ford, Mrs. Ford is missing. We're looking for her now," Tyler reported. He sounded extremely flustered over the phone.Blake's expression changed. "You don't know where she is?""Mrs. Ford acted by herself. She just told me to guard the ICU and nothing else."A shadow crossed Blake's features.What was she doing alone? Why wasn't she willing to tell him anything?
As such, Yasmin deliberately led Elise here, making her think that Jessika had evidence that could send her to prison. This then made Elise anxious and pushed her into taking extreme measures.Only by doing so could Yasmin induce Elise into spilling the truth about everything. She could also cooperate with the police to catch her the moment she confessed.Thereafter, it would be more convenient for the police to investigate the murder that Elise committed in Merania. The investigation would be much smoother with the police's involvement.This way, Elise would be sentenced to death by the law.The entire plan was intended to kill two birds with one stone.Elise's expression changed dramatically as she listened.So, Jessika didn't even have any evidence, and Yasmin deliberately led her into confessing? In fact, she even shot Yasmin, clear evidence of yet another attempted murder.The coldness in Elise's eyes intensified. She suddenly resembled a madman, ignoring the gunshot wound
William told her that she had been a great help for the police, and they would present a good citizen award to her.Blake approached them. His expression seemed to have a layer of frost.William was slightly surprised. "Hello, mister. Who are you?""I'm her husband," Blake replied coldly, devoid of warmth in his tone.Yasmin frowned.She didn't expect Blake to show up.She hadn't told him about this matter—even Tyler didn't know the whole situation. She had said she didn't want to owe him anymore."Why didn't you tell me about this at all?" After William left, Blake looked at Yasmin without any expression.Yasmin knew he was angry.But she didn't care. She smiled and said lightly, "Why should I?"Blake's expression darkened, and he was enveloped in a hostile presence. He pulled her over and demanded, "This is a huge matter. Why didn't you think to tell me?"However, he accidentally pulled her injured arm.Yasmin hissed in pain—even her face contorted.Blake noticed somethi
"Yes," Tyler said as he drove Blake to the police station.At the police station, Blake learned the whole truth. His face became as cold as ice.Everything was now clear. It turned out that Elise had intentionally provoked Stuart back then.Blake's eyes filled with anger as he recalled Elise saying she wanted to kill Stuart and drive Yasmin insane. He coldly instructed Tyler, "Send two people in to take care of her."Tyler, of course, understood the meaning behind the words "take care". He nodded and replied, "Yes."… Back at the hospital, Yasmin was still asleep.Blake walked over to her and looked at her pale face. He slowly knelt down and held her delicate hand with his icy palm."I'm sorry. I didn't know you suffered so much." He brought her hand to his face and continued, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life."He still remembered how she had frantically claimed that Elise had hurt Stuart and that she wanted to seek revenge.However, Blake refused to punish Eli
After that day, Blake became even nicer to her. He sent fresh flowers and meals every day. When night fell, he would come to the hospital to accompany her.On the third day, Yasmin was ready to be discharged.After getting her stitches removed in the treatment room, she returned to her ward and saw Blake standing there with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand."Aren't you busy at work?" Yasmin asked him. Why was he visiting her every day?Blake handed over the flowers with a slight smile on his lips. "Is there anything more important than my wife? Of course I have to come and pick you up when you're getting discharged."Yasmin glanced at the bouquet of red roses, which symbolized a passionate love. She chose not to accept them and turned to pack her belongings instead.Blake came over, pressing her hand. "You can't do this with your injured arm. Just sit down. I'll ask the caregiver to help you pack."Blake went to call the caregiver.Yasmin sat on the edge of the bed, sta
Sometimes, she would even stare at him, lost in thought. Blake knew she had feelings for him.Yasmin opened her mouth as if to explain something, but then she felt it was unnecessary. She had already decided not to be with Blake anymore.She knew they couldn't be together. She spoke softly, "Didn't you hear what Elise said? I was just using you all along, wanting to use you against her. She was right. That's all I ever wanted. "I was afraid you would help Elise, so I put up with my disgust and let you get close to me. But the truth is, I've always been disgusted by you."Now that Elise is in prison, I no longer have to swallow my disgust and act friendly with you. It's all over."Blake gripped her arm. "I don't believe it.""Believe whatever you want," Yasmin replied indifferently.Darkness clouded Blake's eyes. He looked her up and down. Seeing the coldness on her face, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. Then, he pulled her close and kissed her. He didn't believe her w
Two hours had passed by the time it was over.Yasmin was completely exhausted.Blake hugged her, gazing at her affectionately. Her skin was fair and smooth, yet she clearly had no energy left. The anger in his heart had subsided. He carried her into the bathroom to take a bath.During the bath, Yasmin regained some consciousness. She struggled in the bathtub for a while before biting down on Blake's clavicle.It really hurt, but Blake didn't push her away. He indulgently held her head and gently said, "Let your anger out."Yasmin seemed to have no anger left. She stopped biting his clavicle and said, "Blake, you're a jerk."Her voice was slightly choked up.Blake hugged her and cooed, "Yes, I'm a jerk."He held her tightly to his chest, like a precious treasure.Yasmin closed her eyes, feeling helpless. She asked with red eyes, "What will it take for you to let me go?""Nothing will," he replied, looking at her earnestly.A tear slowly rolled down Yasmin's cheek. Blake wip
