Secretary’s Secret Lover by Zayla Quinn

Chapter 228 What If I Am Crippled?

Yvette looked at him and said sincerely, “Of course, I know.

Your leg was injured because of me. I have the responsibility to stay with you when you have

treatment.”

Hearing this, the light in Charlie’s eyes dimmed.

As expected, Yvette was a simple girl. How could she have other thoughts about him now?

Charlie accepted the follow-up treatment plan and contacted foreign experts. He would leave for the

operation in two days.

The police came to have the note-taking. Charlie explained why he appeared that night, saying that he

was worried about Yvette, and when he went to her place, he saw Emilie trying to kidnap Yvette. So he

followed Emilie and waited for the opportunity to rescue Yvette.

The only surveillance camera proved him right.

Yvette did the math and knew that she needed to take a longer leave.

Considering the time before Charlie’s operation was done, she had to take at least a month off. Yvette

was worried because her company generally would not approve such a long leave.

Therefore, she thought of resigning

What’s more, she had to take the most responsibility for Charlie’s incident.

If it weren’t for Charlie, the one who would fall and get seriously injured would definitely be her.

However, after the company leaders learned about what happened, they agreed to keep the job open

for her until she came back. Even her students called her and said that they would work harder on their

studies.

Especially Joseph, who had changed dramatically, as if he had turned into a different person. He

promised Yvette that he would rank higher in his class rank when Yvette came back again.

Yvette felt a lot of relief when she heard this. After all, they were all her students, and she didn’t want to

part with them either.

Before leaving, Yvette went to visit Jaiden at the sanatorium again. She did not tell him that she would

go abroad to accompany Charlie for treatment. Instead, she told him that she would go abroad for

academic communication, lest Jaiden worried about her.

Jaiden was pleased and praised Yvette for being promising Then, Yvette went to see Ellen, who had

already been discharged from the hospital and was busy dealing with company affairs.

Ellen raised 13 million dollars and already repaid the bank. She also gave the orders of the wrong

models to other small companies with low prices.

The Robbins Group lost a few million dollars, adding the stocks.

that had plummeted, it lost at least a dozen million dollars in total.

It was inevitable that the Robbins Group would be falling apart.

Ellen was busy doing the final financial settlement in the company.

Yvette told her that she was going to go abroad for Charlie’s treatment. Although Ellen was worried

about Yvette, she already had enough problems to worry about since the company was hanging in the

balance. Ellen told Yvette that she would go to see her when things were done here.

Before leaving, Ellen suddenly stopped Yvette and asked, “Do you know what happened to Lance

recently?”

“What?”

“I heard that a group of shareholders in his company joined together to impeach him. He has been

frequently hospitalized recently. So those old men think that he is not competent for running the

company anymore.”

Yvette was stunned and thought of what Tanya had said.

It turned out that what Tanya said was true. Lance was the CEO, but his physical condition had been

constantly unstable.

It would naturally cause uncertainty in the company.

Ellen didn’t know about what happened to Emilie and why Lance got injured, so she thought it was just

gossip.

“He must have been busy recently. Word is that he may be connected with the Beckford family by

marriage very soon. The Beckford family is very powerful in Philadelphia. It could be said that it is the

most powerful family after the Wolseley family. This marriage will be a powerful combination for both of

them.”

The Beckford family?

So it’s about Juliette?

No wonder Tanya said that the two families have the same family background. It turns out that they are

equally powerful Yvette was still in a trance when she returned to the hospital.

When she thought of how Tanya talked about the importance of family background, Yvette understood

that she indeed would not be helpful to Lance. What was worse, she had been a burden to him many

times.

No matter if it was the last time or this time.

Yvette was also responsible for the crisis of the Wolseley Group.

When she was waiting for the elevator, she was still in a daze.

When the elevator door opened with a “ding”, she was stunned when she saw who was inside the

elevator.

It was Lance and Juliette.

When Juliette saw Yvette, she took the initiative to greet her, “Hi!”

“Hello.” Yvette nodded.

Juliette asked, “Are you here to see Lance?”

“No. I’m here for another friend.” Yvette shook her head.

After saying this, Yvette saw Lance glance at her coldly. Then he withdrew his gaze and passed by her.

His indifferent attitude made Yvette feel a dull pain in her heart.

Juliette did not catch up with Lance. She explained it to Yvette, “I’m so sorry about yesterday. I later

found out that the bracelet was given to you by Mrs. Wolseley. It looked beautiful, so I asked Mrs.

Wolseley for it. If I had known it before, I would not have asked for it.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Yvette smiled.

Juliette also smiled. “I’m just a friend of Lance’s. Don’t misunderstand me. We have known each other

since we were young. But he has never treated me as a woman.”

Yvette did not expect Juliette to say this. She did not want to talk about these in front of Lance.

“I did not misunderstand.”

Juliette smiled, “That’s great. It would be killing me if you guys had a fight because of me.”

It sounded serious. Yvette explained, “I have nothing to do with him, Ms. Beckford. Don’t worry about

it.”

“What do you mean? But you…”

Juliette still wanted to say something but was stopped by Lance.

“Are you leaving or not?” His tone was very impatient.

Juliette stopped talking and smiled at Yvette. “Then I’ll be leaving now. Let’s have a chat next time.”

Yvette nodded and entered the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed, and Yvette caught a glimpse of Juliette trotting to Lance and gently

hitting Lance with her shoulder before she said something with a smile.

Juliette was so graceful that she looked like a perfect match when she stood with Lance.

When the elevator closed, she smelled a familiar perfume fragrance mixed with the perfume that

belonged to another woman.

Yvette suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes blurred.

When she showed up in the ward, the nurse was changing the medicine for Charlie.

The bloody wounds were covered by layers of gauze. The smell of medicine and the thick smell of

blood mixed together and caused Yvette’s stomach to cramp.

She endured it until the nurse called out to her, “Miss, please pull the gauze for me.”

Yvette said, “Okay…”

Suddenly, she started retching.

The nurse and Charlie’s expressions changed instantly.

“I’m sorry. I might have eaten something bad…” Yvette said hurriedly.

After saying this, she felt sick again. She couldn’t help but run to the bathroom and start vomiting.

The nurse was speechless for a moment when she listened to the sound of vomiting in the bathroom.

Charlie didn’t look well.

Does she feel disgusted with me?

Yvette vomited until she felt weak all over. She lay on the sink and turned on the tap to wash her face.

Her face was a little pale and she looked weak in the mirror.

Yvette thought that it was probably because she drank some cold water at noon.

When she went out again, Charlie had already changed the medicine and the vent was on.

Charlie looked at her and said, “Yvette, if you are not feeling well, you should go back and take a rest.”

But Yvette shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I probably had caten something bad at noon. I’ll be fine

in a while.”

When Charlie saw her pale face, he lowered his eyes.

Two days later, Charlie’s parents prepared the private plane and had it waiting at the airport in

advance.

Yvette and Charlie took a commercial car and headed to the airport.

Along the way, Yvette looked out of the window at the scenery that was passing by, feeling heavy.

From that day on, she never met Lance again. Later, she saw

the official statement of the Wolseley Group on TV about the internal turmoil of the company.

This incident might be more serious than ever, and Lance had been busy all the time.

But Yvette could only watch the news on TV like an ordinary person and could not be helpful at all.

Yvette could feel the insurmountable gap between the two of them, and she was getting further and

further away from Lance’s world.

Charlie leaned against the wheelchair and looked thoughtful.

He never took his eyes off Yvette since they got into the car.

Ever since he knew that Yvette was that little girl, Charlie felt that he had changed. His desire to

possess her became stronger.

He didn’t like her being distracted. When she was distracted, was she thinking about another man?

Charlie couldn’t stand it when he had this thought.

“Yvette.”

Charlie tried to attract her attention.

“What’s wrong?” Yvette turned to look at him.

“Do you regret it?” Charlie asked.

Yvette was stunned and thought that he was asking about the treatment. She smiled slightly and said,

“No, I don’t regret it. I will accompany you until your legs get better.”

Charlie lowered his eyes slightly. He asked, “What if they can’t get better? What if I am crippled?”
