Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 142

"Matthew, please look into his schedule for me, and see if there's any way we can get an invitation to wherever he's going."

"I'm on it."

"Uncle Lance, Aunt Joanne, call me the second anything changes with my mom."

"We will. Go."

Yvette ducked into the hospital's quiet stairwell and dialed Jabez's number.

It rang for what felt like an eternity with no answer.

Refusing to give up, she called again, and finally, the line connected.

"Jabez, do you know where Dr. Walder is?"

Yvette gripped the phone so tightly her knuckles turned white, her heart pounding frantically against her ribs.

"I do. He's attending the Moreau family's private banquet."

"Could you please help me—"

Before Yvette could finish her sentence, a sudden commotion erupted on his end of the line. Faintly, she could hear Willow Huxley's voice in the background.

Jabez swiftly cut her off. "I'm busy right now."

*Click.*

The dial tone echoed coldly in Yvette's ear.

Even though it was the middle of summer, an icy chill seeped into her bones, leaving her completely numb.

Clearly, getting Jabez to help was a dead end. She had to find another way.

The Moreau family was a prestigious dynasty with a two-century-old legacy. Its members were elites in almost every field, yet they kept a notoriously low profile.

Securing an invitation to a Moreau banquet as an outsider was practically impossible.

However, the Shelbys and the Moreaus maintained close ties, and Jabez was good friends with the Moreau heir.

If he had just asked, getting her an invitation would have been effortless.

Yvette walked back over to Matthew. "I just spoke to Jabez. Dr. Walder is going to the Moreau family's banquet."

"Did he agree to get you an invitation? Or is he willing to take you as his plus-one?"

"I didn't even get the chance to ask before he hung up," Yvette said, shaking her head. "Matthew, is there any way you can get a pass for the Moreau event?"
