Yvette shrank back in fear but tried to stay calm. "If you don't believe me, call her and tell her I'm dead." Without thinking much, Andy picked up his phone and dialed Daphne's number. To his frustration, he couldn't get through to her.
Daphne had blocked Andy.
"It looks like she's afraid she'll be suspected if she has anything to do with you.
"Getand the driver out now, and I won't press charges. At most, it will be considered an accident due to a driving mistake. We're unharmed, and you won't face criminal charges." Andy's mind was in chaos. He wasn't sure whether to believe Yvette or not.

As Yvette's vision blurred, she vaguely saw a tall figure approaching her.
She couldn't clearly see who the man was before she passed out. All she could feel was the man's broad, warm shoulders.
Xavier's tall and slender figure stood on the balcony of a hospital room. He lit a cigarette, revealing his slender fingers, marked with cuts.
Just as he was about to take a puff, he glanced back at Yvette, who was lying on the hospital bed, and extinguished the cigarette.
She hadn't even been back for long, but she had already been hospitalized five times.
His phone started to ring. He answered it, only to find that it was a call from Mark. "Mr. Lane, Mr. Lander's men have caught the driver responsible for the accident." Xavier's expression turned cold. "Got it.
"You can go ahead and get rid of Yvette's bodyguard as well," he added before hanging up.
Before Yvette had gotten into an accident that day, Xavier had returned to Dewberry Manor and found that she hadn't been there.
He had contacted the bodyguards who had been following her, only to get a delayed response that she had been in a car accident.
When Xavier had arrived at the scene, he had seen Yvette covered in blood. At that moment, he had felt as if his heart had stopped. Fortunately, her injuries were only skin-deep. She had fainted from blood loss but wasn't seriously hurt.
After he had pulled Yvette out of the wrecked car, he had been about to take her away when Claude had arrived. Xavier didn't know how Claude had found out about Yvette's accident.

"Dad..." she murmured in her sleep.
Xavier thought she was awake and walked closer. The next second, Yvette groped around and grabbed his hand.
"Dad... Don't go... Don't leavealone.... Tears slid from Yvette's eyes, disappearing as they soaked the pillow. Xavier was filled with mixed emotions as Yvette held his hand tightly.
