My Husband, Warm The Bed

Upon receiving the warning stare, Joel felt rather wronged. He merely wanted to prove that those people were innocent! How could his boss warn him that way, given his unwavering loyalty?

He grumbled to himself but he dared not show his dissatisfaction. He continued his report, "We have investigated and learned the purpose behind Yvette's kidnapping. Fiona wanted to frame Vanessa as the culprit. She wished to stir up the hatred Yvette bore towards Vanessa so that Yvette would act impulsively and hurt Vanessa."

"Yvette loathes Vanessa. If anything happened to Vanessa, the first person that would come to mind would be Yvette. This would provide Fiona, the real culprit, with sufficient time to escape. It's a pity that Fiona didn't have much time to prepare for this fiasco. We saw through her scheme from the beginning, so she was caught off guard that we found Vanessa so quickly." In Joel's opinion, Fiona had a decent plan, but the execution was sloppy, leading to her downfall.

"That's all from me."

"Why are you still here?"

"Yes, Mr. Kyle, I'll take my leave." Joel felt that his boss was really an ungrateful tyrant. He had given a thorough and detailed report, and although it was not remarkable, at the very least, he deserved credit for his efforts. However, Julien chased him away so unceremoniously.

Alas, that was how Julien was. How haughty and impatient!

The matter had been investigated thoroughly. Once Yvette's innocence was proved, Julien paid her a visit for the first time. She was admitted to the same hospital as Vanessa, and Julien knocked on her ward door politely. Upon hearing the words "come in", he pushed the door open and entered.

It never crossed her mind that Julien would come to see her. Yvette was busy playing games on her phone. Without raising her head, she declared, "I don't want to eat. I don't have an appetite." Julien cleared his throat and said, "It's me."

Upon hearing Julien's voice, Yvette turned around in astonishment and saw that it was indeed him. In the exuberance of joy, she wanted to leap out of bed and hug him, but suddenly she thought of something and stopped.

Julien asked, "What's wrong?"

She looked at Julien and asked sheepishly, "Julien, why are you here?"

"Yvette, I've watched you grow up. Due to the friendship between our mothers, I've always treated you as my younger sister. If it wasn't for their acquaintance, we might not even have met each other," Julien did not answer Yvette's question directly, but what he said displayed his intentions better.

"Julien, you aren't here to see me?" When she saw him appear in her ward, she was thrilled and thought that he came specifically to see her. However, after hearing what he'd said, her heart sank. He was clearly here to warn her.

Julien added, "I'm here to clarify this with you. Apart from a platonic friendship, I never bore any affection towards you. It has not happened before, nor will it occur in the future. Please don't bear any unrealistic thoughts about me. Even if I never met Vanessa, it would still be impossible for us to be together. I hope you understand."

Julien decided to nip her intentions in the bud to avert a crisis in the future. In fact, he was helping her. As long as Yvette did not make a wrong turn, the Kyles and Spencers could remain harmonious. "Julien, I..." Back then, although he was never keen to speak to Yvette, he had never given her the cold shoulder. But now, looking at his detached demeanour, it was as if he regarded her as a stranger. She just wanted him to care more about her and hoped that he would give her more attention. Why did things go contrary to her wishes?

"If you regard me as your brother and bear no malice towards my family and Vanessa, then, I will treat you as my younger sister forever. However, if you dare to hurt Vanessa or my family, no matter who you are, I won't spare you." Julien's voice was not loud, but his words made her rooted to the spot. In that moment, Yvette's heart shattered.

Realization dawned at the moment. Vanessa was much more important to him than Yvette had imagined. His love for Vanessa was so deep that he would probably lose his mind if she disappeared.

Suddenly, Yvette gave a wry smile and replied, "I didn't hurt her, and I never thought about hurting her."

She just felt that Vanessa was not good enough for Julien, that Vanessa did not appreciate Julien's love.

He was such an exceptional man whom Yvette could only admire from afar. However, Vanessa could trample on his love and dignity and self-worth as she wished!

"Why?"

Julien chuckled. His laughter was very pleasant to the ears, and his voice extremely even more endearing. He scoffed, "If you did, do you think you'd still be here, safe and sound, listening to me?" Julien spoke in a dulcet tone as usual. However, Yvette sensed a killing intent from his words.

Yes, it was a killing intent aimed towards her! She winced, aghast at his cruelty.

If she ever did something to hurt Vanessa...

Yvette remained stupefied even after Julien left. When she regained her senses, Faye was already sitting next to her bed.

Faye's face was full of concern. "Yvette, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Looking at her mother's anxious expression, Yvette recalled herself throwing a tantrum at her mother a few days ago. She treated her mother unfairly, but her mother still stayed by her side and took care of her after her injury.

There was really no one who loved her more than her parents. Why was she so stubborn? Why did she hurt her family and friends for a man who did not love her?

Yvette thought it through and remorse bit into her heart. "Mom, I'm sorry!"

Faye's heart raced. "Yvette, what's the matter? Are you alright? Why did you say sorry suddenly? Tell me quickly," she asked in alarm.

Yvette gazed silently at her mother's reaction. Her mother was scared out of her wits just because of her apology. Clearly, Yvette had never apologized to her mother before. She was an ungrateful brat who neglected her mother's concern.

"Mom, I'm fine. It's just that I have finally thought it through. I feel particularly sorry for you, Dad, and Fynn. You guys love me so much. Your love for me is selfless, but I only know how to throw a fit whenever I am annoyed." Yvette embraced Faye in her arms. "Mom, I promise you, I will get rid of my bad temper in the future. I will love you guys with all I have and please continue to love me."

"Yvette..." Faye was over the moon upon hearing what she said and wiped away her tears. "You are a good child, a really good child. How could I not love you?"

"Mom, I'm sorry!" Yvette once again apologized solemnly to Faye. At the same time, she swore in her heart that she would love her mother, adore her family, and never give up her heart again for a man who did not love her.

Her mother was right. Yvette was attractive and she had her strengths. She would find someone someday. Perhaps, her Mr. Right was on his way to her, and would find her soon.

After thinking it through, it felt as if a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders and she was ready to start afresh.

It turned out that physical illness was not as terrifying as emotional burdens within one's soul...
