Chapter 115
She stepped into the elevator, taking a deep breath and reminding herself that she shouldn't be so coy and needed to stay calm.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand blocked them. Yonas figure carried the scent of cedar.
Ped in, slowly moving closer to her. His tall
She felt increasingly overwhelmed as if the entire elevator was filled with the scent of cedar. Her cheeks were burning red, and when she touched them, they felt especially hot. Yonas looked at her with concern. "Do you have a fever?" he asked, placing a hand on her forehead. "It's not hot."
Yasmine froze, feeling breathless as his warm, strong hand rested on her forehead. When he finally pulled it away, her gaze followed his hand as it slipped into his pocket. "I'm not running a fever," she said firmly.
"I know," he replied, suddenly leaning in close to Yasmine and asking softly, "Are you shy?"
Yasmine's gaze darted around nervously. "I'm not shy!"
Ding! The elevator arrived at her floor, and the moment the doors opened, Yasmine slipped out from his side and quickly unlocked her apartment door. As she entered, she was surprised to smell the aroma of food. 'It must be coming from the neighbors, she thought. Suddenly, the lights flicked on, and Yas
eyes widened in surprise. Lucy and Yoselin each stepped forward, holding a bouquet of flowers. "Congratulations on your discharge!"
Lucy placed the bouquet in her hands and hugged Yasmine tightly. "Wah, why didn't you even tell me when this happened?" Yoselin also hugged her. "Yasmine, it's all my fault! If I had answered your call, none of this would have happened."
Yonas walked in and closed the door behind him. "Yasmine just got out of the hospital. Let her sit down and rest for a bit." Lucy and Yoselin immediately released Yasmine and even moved the flowers aside.
Yasmine walked over to the dining table and saw it was indeed filled with various dishes. However, she couldn't help but wonder, 'But Lucy and Yoselin can't cook
At this moment, a voice wailed, "Help! Ms. Sanchez, you have to stand up for me. These two dragged me here against my will. I'm a renowned chef at Paragon Hotel. My dishes can cost up to 30 thousand dollars. But they had me peeling potatoes and garlic. I haven't done such trivial work in years. You have to make Yonas give me a raise."
Chuck whined to Yasmine, his voice growing quieter when he caught sight of Yonas.
"Chuck, thank you for preparing all these dishes. Is there anything else I can help with? I can assise in the kitchen," Yasmine offered.
Yonas glanced at Chuck, who quickly waved his hands. "No need. It's all done."
Following his gesture, Yasmine saw that the table was full of food. She realized that he should have been instructed. beforehand not to make any greasy dishes, as all of them were light and mild in flavor.
"This is a feast. Thank you," Yasmine said gratefully.

"You're welcome!" Chuck replied as they all sat down at the table.

Yasmine noticed that Yoselin had been keeping her head down, seemingly upset. She quickly spoke in a gentle tone, "Yoselin, I'm fine. It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself. They wanted to harm me, and even if it wasn't through you, they would have found another way to do it."
"Lucy, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. See, I'm doing fine now," she said with a smile. They chatted while cating. Since Yasmine couldn't drink, lucy picked up a glass and started drinking with Chuck. She was more than happy to drink with Yonas, but he looked too intimidating, so she held back.
By the time the meal was halfway through, Lucy and Chuck had already downed several bottles of wine and were starting to show signs of intoxication.
After finishing the last drop of his drink, Chuck slumped onto the table and pointed at Yonas. "Yonas! You're so dumb! Chasing after a girl for so long but still can't win her over."
Yonas's face darkened, and he glanced at Yasmine. "You are drunk
"No! I'm not drunk. You're always talking about Ms. Sanchez. Chuck slurred. As soon as Yasmine heard this, she immediately looked up at Yonas. Seeing his expression, she quickly understood. Trying to avoid any awkwardness, she finished the oatmeal in her bowl, then stood up, using the table for support. "Take your time eating. I'm a bit tired. I'll go to my room for a bit."
She hurriedly fled from the table and walked back to her room. Standing in front of the dresser, she looked at her flushed face in the mirror. 'What did Chuck mean? Is Yonas really pursuing me? That couldn't be possible, she thought.
Although she was aware of Yonas's feelings for her, hearing from Chuck that Yonas had fallen for her for a long time and had been pursuing her made her feel overwhelmed. When she stepped out of her room, she found Yoselin dozing off at the table, while Chuck and Lucy were both completely passed out from drinking. But where is Yonas?' she wondered.
In the kitchen, Yasmine noticed someone moving around. She saw Yonas busy at the stove, simmering something in a pot.. As she approached, the familiar bitter scent hit her. It was traditional medicine again. Sure enough, Yonas emerged holding a bowl. "Oh, you are here. Go ahead and drink this. I noticed there are still lots of medicine packets in the fridge. You must not have taken them. You might as well take something warm.
Looking at the brownish medicine, Yasmine felt like crying, but she still forced herself to take it, sip by sip. Her taste buds were already off from her cold, making the bitterness even harder to bear. When she finished, Yonas's gaze finally shifted away.
Yasmine helped Lucy to the guest room, as she was already drunk.
When she returned, she found Yonas and Yoselin cleaning up the dishes. She stepped forward to assist, but Yonas stopped
her. "You need rest," he king the plate from Yasmine's hands.
"I'm fine, let's clean up together," Yasmine insisted, picking up another plate and heading to the kitchen to wash it. This time, Yonas didn't stop her.
After they finished tidying up the dining table, Yonas helped Chuck into the car, with Yoselin quickly taking the front passenger seat.
Yasmine saw them off downstairs. "Take care on your way, she called out.
Yonas suddenly walked over to her. "Don't forget to take your medicine."
"Okay, I will," she replied, her heart racing.

Then he leaned in and kissed Yasmine's forehead before getting to the car and driving away.
Yasmine stood frozen for a moment. Realizing that he had kissed her forehead, her face flushed instantly, and she quickly turned and went back inside. Meanwhile, Yvette returned to the Flynn residence from the villa, only to find Selena with red, tearful eyes. "Auntie, what's happened?"
"Yvette, you're finally back. Helen has been taken away!" Selena said.
"What? Taken by whom?" Yvette asked.
"The police! And it's all because of that bitch!' Selena spat out angrily.
Yvette thought that Helen must have gotten herself into trouble again. But she still had to console Selena. 'Mrs. Flynn, does Xavier know? I'm sure he'll find a way."
"Xavier won't answer my calls," Selena said anxiously.
"How come? I'll call him," Yvette quickly dialed Xavier's number, but sure enough, he didn't answer. She then called Xavier's assistant, who informed her that Xavier had already returned home. "Mrs. Flynn, Xavier's assistant said he's back home," Yvette said.
The sound of the door opening interrupted them, and sure enough, Xavier walked in, his face dark and brooding.
Selena rushed to him immediately. "Xavier, how is your sister?"
"I haven't seen her yet, Xavier replied coldly.
"Xavier, you have to save your sister. She was already so scared when she was detained last time. She can't go through that again," Selena said.
Xavier said impatiently, "Do you even know what she's done? This time, there's solid evidence and witnesses. How am I supposed to save her? I warned her last time, but she still hasn't changed."
