Chapter 118
Xavier noticed the expression on Yonas's face and dared not say anything more. Selena's words promptly
brought him to his senses, reminding him of who was standing in front of him.
"Yasmine, | can have Helen apologize to you and even compensate you with money. Just na price, and I'll do
my best to meet you, Xavier offered.
Yasmine looked at Xavier with a cold expression, her tone equally icy. "No need. Please leave."
Xavier's face fell instantly, and both Yvette and Selena also changed their expressions. They hadn't expected
Yasmine to be so unyielding.
"Since you're unwilling, we won't force it. But don't beg us later, Selena spat, glaring fiercely at Yasmine.
Once outside, Xavier was annoyed as he recalled the embarrassing scene earlier. "You knew she wouldn't agree
to reconcile. Why did you have to askhere?"
It was Selena who decided to chere. She looked at her son unhappily and said, "What do you mean by that?
Are you blaming me? | was too anxious after this happened. | thought that since she used to love you so much, if
you said something to soften her heart, maybe she would let it go. But who would have thought she had latched
onto such a powerful connection? She didn't respectbefore, and now it's even impossible for her to take me
seriously."
Selena continued to mutter angrily as she walked. "I can't believe she's so lucky, managing to hook up with the
Russell family. But | don't think Nathan will really tolerate such a woman." "Mom, what are you planning? Xavier
saw the cunning glint in Selena's eyes and felt a sense of foreboding.
"None of your r concern. Just make sure to keep a close watch on Louise's daughter. Since Yasmine and Yonas
already know she's missing, | don't believe they will just stand by," Selena said, Yvette walked behind them, her
mind filled with thoughts of the way Yonas looked at Yasmine, gentle yet possessive. 'How could anyone not fall
for a man like that?" she thought.
After returning home, the moment Xavier entered the bedroom, he threw a cup from the table to the ground,
shattering it into pieces.
Yvette nervously walked into the room, a chill running down her spine. "Xavier, are you okay?" she asked, her
voice tinged with fear.
Xavier's expression softened slightly, and he forced a smile. "I'm fine. | was just thinking about Helen."
Yvette's heart was full of bitterness. Just a moment ago, he hadn't been this emotional. But as soon as Yonas
mentioned being Yasmine's boyfriend, everything changed. She had noticed it clearly and could feel Xavier's

He had always been indifferent to everything except for her. But now, there was someone else, Yasmine. She
couldn't figure out what had gone wrong to make him change. But just now, she had clearly felt Xavier's anger
and frustration, not because of Helen, but because of Yasmine.
"Didn't we already capture Louise's daughter? Helen will be fine. We can also ask Grandpa for help. He won't just
stand by and let Helen go to jail," Yvette said, though she didn't even believe her own words.
Xavier sat wearily on the edge of the bed. Yvette sat beside him, holding his hand. Her soft voice reached his
ears, but all he could think about were Yonas's words and Yasmine's admission.

"Xavier, what's really going on with you?" Yvette finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She was tired of feeling like
she was talking to herself whenever she faced Xavier, and she had had enough of the stark difference in how he
treated her compared to before.
Xavier finally looked at Yvette. Yes, what was wrong with him? He felt as if he was possessed. He knew he liked
Yvette, the woman he had longed for was right there beside him. So what was he still thinking about? He
suddenly pulled Yvette into his arms, and the faint scent of gardenias in her hair filled his senses.
Suddenly, a light flooded the room as the door swung open. Yasmine walked in, quietly handing him a cup of
coffee. Her hair was still damp, droplets of water clinging to her nightgown, making her look especially alluring.
He saw himself coldly take the coffee from her, completely ignoring her.
Yasmine playfully rested her head on his shoulder, intentionally letting him catch a whiff of her scent as she
excitedly said, "Smell this! | just bought a new shampoo. Does it smell good?" He pushed her away and said
coldly, "Don't bother me, be sensible. Then he left for the study.
Xavier suddenly blurted out, Tm sorry."
Yvette was stunned, thinking he was apologizing to her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice
trembling with emotion. "Xavier, | don't blyou. | really love you. Please don't letdown"
Xavier, momentarily lost in thought, held her tightly. "I won't." He took a deep breath, realizing the scent of
gardenias was from Yvette.
Only Yonas and Yasmine were left in the ward.
What you said earlier..." She trailed off, unsure how to continue or what stance to take. She couldn't just bluntly
ask, "Do you really consideras your girlfriend? When did we beca couple? How c| didn't know?"
She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at those gentle eyes. "Are you shy?" Yonas asked with a light
chuckle.
Yasmine immediately glared at him. I'm not shy. You were the one who said those words just now."
"Yes, | did," Yonas replied, picking up an apple and beginning to peel it, his attention seemingly focused entirely
on the apple.
Yasmine couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed. "What's wrong withlately? Why has my personality suddenly
changed? Is ir because I'm sick? Why am | always acting like a teenage girl?" she wondered. "Why did you say
I'm your girlfriend?" she suddenly asked. Yonas handed her the peeled apple. "Aren't you?" he asked with a light
smile, which made Yasmine feel a bit unsettled, unsure if he was serious or joking.
She took the apple in her hand and
then placed it on thetede Beside her.

"Why not?" he asked.
"Yonas, | don't like joking about things like this," she said, her face turning serious.
Yonas looked at her in a daze and asked, "Why do you say that?"
