Chapter 620
Joseph’s medical skills, knowledge, good looks, remarkable experiences, and courage were more than enough to make a deep and lasting impression on Jenna.
She said, “It can’t be that serious. Isn’t he just a toy to you? How did you end up falling for him? Look, you wanted him, so I gave him to you. He’s just a plaything. No, he’s even less than a thing now!”
Yara looked listless.
Her eyes remained fixed on the doorway as she asked, “Why isn’t that bastard coming in yet? Have him come in and apologize. I’ll still forgive him.”
Joseph had treated Yara so badly, and she was still willing to forgive him. There was no doubt that Yara had truly fallen for him. 1
Jenna felt conflicted. If Yara weren’t in her current condition, Jenna wouldn’t even have been able to get close to a man Yara had set her sights on.
She said, “Don’t place any hope in Henry coming in to apologize. He doesn’t even dare step into the hospital anymore. Skylar said he’d break his legs, so he took off like his life depended on it.”
“He’s disappeared again? How could he do this?” Yara whined.
Her heart sank, and she pulled the blanket over her face. Judging from the way the blanket trembled, she was sobbing underneath it.
Jenna asked, “Everything was going so well. How did it end up like this? What did you do to him?”
Yara said nothing. After a long silence, she finally spoke from beneath the blanket in a quiet, mournful voice.
“Go find him and bring him back. Tell him I’ll give him all my money, and I’ll listen to everything he says from now on, as long as he doesn’t leave me. I’ll persuade Skylar. The Zahn family won’t make things difficult for him anymore. Jenna, I need Henry. Please, you have to bring him back.”
Jenna sighed and lamented inwardly, “Goodness, Joseph. Look what you’ve done. You’d actually succeeded in making Yara fall in love with you so deeply that she’d give up anything just to be with you. You got exactly what you wanted. You really are something…”
Truthfully, Jenna was astonished.
She asked Yara, “You’d give up so much for him? Are you serious?”
Yara responded immediately, “Yes, I’m serious! I’ve thought about it. I can’t live without him! I can’t lose him. Go bring him back. Money isn’t a problem. I’ll give him whatever I have.”
Jenna advised, “Maybe you should wait and think it over a little longer. It’s been two or three days since the Lowell family’s poisoning incident. Even if Joseph had gone off to the ends of the earth, he should have returned to Jenton by now if he heard what happened.
“Given your condition, maybe you should let him examine you. There might still be a chance.”
Yara fell silent for a moment.
She pulled down the blanket and asked, “Has he really shown up?”
Jenna replied, “We haven’t received any information about him. However, the Lowells were poisoned, so he should show up. Even though Cora betrayed him, he seems like a man who values past relationships, judging from

his previous acts.
Maybe he’ll treat his father-in-law and mother-in-law for old times’ sake. What do you think?”
Yara exclaimed, “Joseph is a crazy man! The last time I was in his hands, I wished I were dead. If Cora hadn’t been there, who knows how he would have tortured me.”
“But in the end, he still let you go. That means he has a conscience. You can’t afford to miss this opportunity, Yara.
