He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 939

Watching Yardley repeatedly shield Sylvia, Veronica was so furious her vision blurred.

"Fine! Perfect!"

"You've finally shown your true colors, Yardley."

"You're going to regret treating me like this! I'll make sure you pay for this!"

Feeling utterly humiliated, she covered her face, turned on her heel, and stormed out of the office.

Sylvia was still tucked safely behind Yardley.

Feeling his unconditional protection, a genuine, euphoric smile blossomed on her face.

"Yardley, you're so good to me. You really are the only person in the world who truly cares about me," Sylvia murmured, looking up at him.

Yardley looked down at her. He had originally planned to tell her the truth.

But after Veronica's psychotic interruption, he suddenly had no idea how to bring it up.

After leaving the construction site, Scarlett and Julian rushed straight to the hospital.

Professor Dawson's health was already fragile, and being blasted with cold water in the middle of the night had triggered a severe fever.

Thankfully, they had gotten her there in time, and her condition was currently stable.

Scarlett and Julian stayed by her side in the hospital all night. It wasn't until dawn, when Madeleine was moved to a regular room to rest, that the two finally headed back to their place.

After a completely sleepless night, they were both exhausted.

They had a quick breakfast, showered, changed into pajamas, and collapsed into bed, immediately falling into a deep sleep.

They slept all the way until the early afternoon.

When Scarlett finally fluttered her eyes open, she found Julian already awake. He was resting his chin on his hand, watching her with a distinctly intense, smoldering gaze.

Sensing exactly what was on his mind, Scarlett felt her cheeks warm and slightly turned her head. "Have you been awake long?"

"Yeah. I've been watching you for at least half an hour. You were completely out, sleeping so peacefully."
