Chapter 447
"Okay, I will make time to come over when he is on duty for the next few nights. Anyway, you will
always be here, right? I will try to come as often as possible until I meet him."
Xenia felt that this matter had been settled, so she decided to leave.
"Alas, you're leaving just like that?"
Yoel knew that the discussion was over. When Xenia shoved her phone into her bag, he knew that she
was leaving.
He had not seen Xenia for a long time. It was rare to see her this time and obviously; he did not want
her to leave.
"That's right. Harvey isn't here today. He'll be here tomorrow, so I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
Although Xenia hadn't been with Harvey for long, she remembered Harvey's work schedule like the
back of her hand.
As Yoel looked at Xenia heading towards the exit, he quickly shouted, "Don't go. Accompany me for a
while more. I'll sing for you and I'll tell you jokes, and..."
He was so excited that he fell off the bed.
"Thud!"
"Ouch!"
Xenia heard a loud thud just as she was about to head out. She instantly realized that Yoel had fallen
down from the bed.
"Xenia, save me!"
Yoel knew that Xenia hadn't gone far, so he shouted loudly.
However, he didn't expect that she would walk all the way to the nurses' station and tell the nurse on
duty, "The patient in room No. 9 has fallen from the bed. You'd better check it out."
With that said, she then turned around and left.
Yoel had been holding on to his own fantasy all along, thinking that Xenia would definitely return.
Based on his understanding of women, when a handsome man like him was in trouble, any woman
would definitely save him.
He laid on the ground, while listening to the sound of footsteps moving away, and soon there were
footsteps approaching.
The footsteps were very chaotic. He immediately realized that it was more than one person. Yoel laid
on the ground and said narcissistically, "I knew you wouldn't leave me. You called the nurse for me,
didn't you? I forgive you." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mr. Jakeman, w-what's wrong with you?"
"Madam, please step aside. We need to carry the patient onto the bed."
Yoel laid on the ground and pretended to be in pain with his eyes closed. He heard two voices.
One was Amelia, and the other was a nurse.
Yoel's heart sank into despair as he said to himself internally, "Xenia, you're really one of a kind. Surely
I will be able to conquer you."
Soon, he was carried to bed by the two medical staff.
"It's such a wide bed. How did you fall to the ground?"
After putting him back on the bed, the doctor asked Yoel while checking every part of his body.
This was a private hospital. Although the patient didn't sleep on a king-sized bed, it was also 1.2
meters in width. It was much bigger than the beds of an ordinary hospital.
"I..." Yoel lifted his eyes and looked at Amelia, who stood beside him with a worried expression on her
face. He then found an excuse and said, "I was dreaming and I didn't sleep well."
Of course, he couldn't mention Xenia's name.
Yoel knew that it was important to not mention another woman's name in front of a woman.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong. The both of you can continue chatting."
The doctor examined Yoel and went out after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.
After the doctor left, Amelia sat by his side while looking at him. She asked, "Who did you say...
wouldn't leave you?"
Sure enough, Amelia heard it.
"Huh? Did I just say that? Why can't I remember?"
Yoel tried his best to think of a way out of this mess.
He played dumb.
"Is that so?"
"Of course. Auntie Harington, why are you here today? Did Skylar decide to sue your daughter?"
Yoel immediately changed the topic. He could not linger long on this topic. No matter how good a man's
lies were, women were all detectives.
"Yes." As soon as Amelia listened to Yoel's question, she immediately put on a sad expression on her
face. "Skylar really wants to force Valerie to death. He really wants to sue her. This time, it's a recording
and it could be treated as a piece of evidence. I have asked several lawyers, but they all refused to
help me."
Amelia clearly knew that Yoel might be a fake lawyer, but she still hoped that he would help her this
time.
After all, Amelia had realized that although Yoel was an amateur, he still had someone backing him. He
might actually be of help.
"Auntie Harington, it's not that I don't want to help you, but look at me..."
Yoel raised his right arm that was in the cast and then lifted his leg that was wrapped in bandages.
Lastly, he pointed at his face.
If he went to a court like this, he was afraid that he would become the joke.
"What should I do... After the failure of the previous lawsuit, everyone refused to be my lawyer."
Tears welled up in Amelia's eyes as she spoke.
Her heart ached for Valerie.
Yoel looked at her and said, "Auntie Harington, your daughter did it to herself, and now she needs you
to clean up the mess for her..."
He wanted to say that she should just let it go.
"But she is my daughter. I wouldn't care if she is a nobody, but she is a living person."
"Even your husband doesn't care, and you, a woman, have never shown your face in public either. I've
told you last time that even if you make a lawsuit, it would be very difficult for you to win."
While Yoel spoke, he did not forget the mission that Hector had assigned him.
"But he doesn't care, so what can I do?"
As Amelia spoke, she started to sob.
Yoel was annoyed to see her crying, but he was still patient. "Auntie Harington, why don't you talk to
your daughter? Maybe she will be mentally prepared after she tells the truth."
Now that Valerie had already begun receiving her punishment, her family could come to visit.
"Well, I'm going to visit her and send her something. I don't want her to lead a hard life in prison."
"Then, does your husband want to go?"
"He... He won't go."
Yoel knew that this was a good opportunity and immediately retorted, "How is he even qualified to be
your husband then? What's the difference between having a husband and not having one? I really don't
think it's worth it. You're working so hard for your daughter alone, and he doesn't care about her at all."
"Yes..." Amelia didn't know about Yoel's hidden agenda. When she heard this, she only felt that he was
speaking of her own feelings. She immediately cried. "I've had a hard life. When I was young, I really
misjudged him..."
She cried as she spoke. All of a sudden, her makeup was ruined.
Yoel knew that this was the best chance. If he continued, Amelia would definitely be the first to think of
divorcing Hector.
Then, the deal between him and Hector would end.
He could then pursue Xenia properly!
As he thought of this, Yoel thought about it thoroughly before he said, "Auntie Harington, in fact, you
are still young. Besides, there are still many good men. Why don't you free yourself?"
Yoel's words were gentle and calm. He did not mention himself, but it was enough to make Amelia
misunderstand.
