Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Hearing the severity of Wilson's voice, warmth filled Yvette's heart.

She nodded. "Mm."

Seeing Yvette behave so obediently, Wilson's eyes revealed a faint smile, but he quickly became serious again.

"Next time, don't stand in front of me."

When she stood in front of him earlier, he felt an unprecedented panic. Thankfully, Theodore hadn't fired! If he had hurt her...

Just thinking about it made Wilson's heart race, even causing him to feel fear for the first time.

"You'll stand in front of me but won't let me protect you?"

Looking at the worry in his eyes, the warmth in Yvette's heart deepened. She wrapped her pale arms around his neck.

"Will, I want to protect you too."

The way she sweetly and softly called his name made Wilson's gaze darken instantly, his Adam's apple moving uncontrollably.

She really knows how to lower his defense...

Yvette rarely called him "Will", and Wilson couldn't help but feel the urge to do something. But when he saw the exhaustion in her eyes, he couldn't bring himself to tease her.

Instead, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead and coaxed softly. "Baby, call me that again."

Yvette's ears turned slightly red, and she refused to speak again.

Knowing that Yvette was shy, Wilson didn't push her. He took the ointment from the medical kit, gently rolled up her pants, and applied it to her.

Yvette quietly watched him, her lips curling into a small smile.

"All done." After applying the medicine, Wilson looked at her with a tender, affectionate gaze. "Baby, go rest for a bit. When dinner is ready, I'll call you."

"Okay."

Yvette really was a little tired. She nodded and walked toward the bedroom.

However, as soon as she entered the bedroom, the familiar dizziness from yesterday overwhelmed her again. Her strength drained just like last time, making her unstable on her feet. If she hadn't gripped the corner of the wall tightly, she would have fallen again, just like yesterday.

After a moment, Yvette's strength slowly returned, but her lips remained tightly pressed together, and her face paled.

This symptom was recurring so frequently... It seemed she would have to find time to visit the lab and check her health.

Yvette lowered her eyes, her brow furrowed in frustration.

Everything was happening all at once-she still hadn't figured out the issue between Theodore and Arthur, and now her health was failing again...

Yvette received a message from Xavier the next day and immediately headed

over.

"Yvie, you're here!"

Solomon and Ezekiel's faces didn't look good, but they still smiled when they saw her. However, when they saw Wilson standing beside her, their expressions immediately grew cold.

"Yvie, come with us. As for the others, they're not allowed inside."

Yvette keenly sensed the strong hostility from Ezekiel and Solomon toward Wilson. Although they hadn't been particularly welcoming to him yesterday, their attitude today was filled with clear animosity.

What was going on?

Suppressing the turbulent emotions inside her, Yvette turned to Wilson beside her

and said, "You wait outside for me."

"Okay."

Wilson felt his unease deepen, but he didn't show it.

As he watched Yvette and the others leave, Apollo silently appeared by his side,noveldrama

his expression grave as he made a report.
