Chapter 361

Terrence hadn’t expected Yvette to refuse his request and lecture him to boot. Infuriated, he gripped her shoulder harshly.

“Why talk so much if you don’t want to help?” he spat.

“I knew you were unreliable. You might be content with wasting away, but I refuse to be like you! I was the grandson of a tycoon, and I’ll follow in our grandfather’s footsteps. I’ll restore Snyder Group. You don’t deserve our family name!”

With that, Terrence pushed Yvette away forcefully. She stumbled back, nearly falling to the ground, but a strong arm caught her.

“Are you okay?” Xavier’s deep voice sounded in her ear.

Yvette wasn’t able to tell him to go back inside in time.

Terrence was stunned to see Xavier there. “Xavier, w–what are you doing here? If you’re here, why did you tell me to bring Yvvy to Titan Corporation to talk?”

Terrence was completely confused; he couldn’t discern that the man he’d met earlier was Jeremiah.

Xavier couldn’t be bothered to explain it to him. “Scram!” he commanded coldly.

Terrence lost all his previous bravado and fled.

After he left, Yvette felt a slight pain in her abdomen, possibly due to the stress and physical exertion from earlier.

“Xavier, my stomach hurts,” she cried, panic filling her eyes as she clutched Xavier’s shirt.

The pain was secondary; she was terrified something might happen to the baby. She remembered how she’d almost had a miscarriage and

Xavier held her tightly. “Til take you to the hospital right now?

“Okay.”

He quickly called for help, and within a minute, a nearby driver and with a car.

On the way to the hospital, Yvette held onto Xavier’s clothes with one hand, while the other hand gently rested on her stomach. What she let now was the kind of fear only those who’d experienced pregnancy could

understand.

“Baby, please be okay,” she quietly prayed.

When they finally arrived at the hospital, the doctor gave Yvette a thorough examination. Xavier waited outside, making a call to have someone look into Terrence.

He’d overheard Terrence telling Yvette that his “brother–in–law” had asked him to convince her to meet him.

Who could that be besides Jeremiah? What did Jeremiah want with Yvette? Why couldn’t Xavier remember anything?

Unfortunately, he still hadn’t fully recovered his memory.

Not long after, the investigator called back. “This afternoon, Terrence went to Titan Corporation to see Jeremiah. I’m not sure what they discussed, but he was smiling when he left. He drove straight to Sangine County after leaving the office.”

Xavier could somewhat understand what had happened,

At this time, the doctor had finished examining Yvette. It turned out that Yvette was showing signs of a threatened miscarriage but had been saved in time. She needed to take good care of the pregnancy going forward.

After thanking the doctor and getting the medication, Yvette went home with Xavier.

“Thank you for today,” she uttered. If Xavier hadn’t been there, .e might’ve fallen, and the consequences could’ve been dire.

Xavier felt her hand clutching his coat. He reached out to hold it. “You’re my wife. You don’t have to thank me.”

Yvette’s hand was enveloped by his warm one. She looked at him for a moment but eventually withdrew her hand.

Once bitten, twice shy. She couldn’t bring herself to trust Xavier again.

Xavier’s hand froze in place, and his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. The car was eerily quiet until they finally reached home.

Yvette helped Xavier out of the car. As they approached the door, she suddenly heard the sound of someone sobbing.

Was someone crying?

Yvette quickly went inside and turned on the light.
