Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 379

Emily nodded and looked at me calmly, saying, "Yvette, did the doctor say when I could be discharged?"

I hesitated for a moment and replied, "The doctor said that as long as you're not in pain, you can be discharged to go home and rest. It'll be like postpartum recuperation. Don't get cold, don't move too much, and just take it easy."

She made an affirmative sound and then fell into a long silence.

I sat there quietly with her.

In the afternoon, I returned to the hotel and encountered Sweety in the lobby. She was sitting in the lounge area, wearing a cool-toned spaghetti-strap maxi dress and delicate makeup. She looked beautiful, yet she looked like a stranger to me now.

When she saw me, she stood up and approached me with a guilty and fearful expression. "Yvette, how is she doing?"

She probably meant Emily.

I pursed my lips and unconsciously took a step back, putting some distance between us. I maintained a normal conversational distance between strangers and ignored her hurt appearance. I said, "The baby is gone, but the mother is fine."

Upon hearing this news, she slightly pressed her lips and let out a sigh of relief, saying, "As long as she is okay."

Looking at her, I could not decide if I was disappointed or simply numb at this point.

I did not want to talk to her anymore and prepared to leave.

She blocked my way, looking at me with a furrowed brow. "Yvette, about what happened last night… Both Liam and I were drunk. I don't know how we woke up in the hotel, and I have no idea how Emily ended up in our room this morning. You have to believe me. I didn't intend for any of this to happen to her. I love Liam, but I never wanted to hurt anyone."

If it were the past, her sincere words would have made me believe her without hesitation, and I would have tried my best to help her prove her innocence.

However, at this moment, I just felt like she had treated me as a fool from the start, making a joke out of my trust in her and everyone else's ignorance.
