Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 177

Unsurprisingly, Jabez was the one to hang up first.

Yvette opened the freezer, pulled out a few ice cubes, and dropped them into her glass.

She lay on her side on the sofa, quietly watching the ice melt into water.

After a long time, she finally got up and headed to her bedroom.

The next day.

After breakfast, Yvette first went to the hospital to check on Winifred before heading over to Dr. Walder's office.

"Ms. Yeats, your mother simply needs to rest. Everything else looks perfectly fine."

"Thank you, Dr. Walder," Yvette said, her gaze sincere. "I actually have some time now, so I can start on the restoration."

"Perfect timing. I brought the painting with me today."

Yvette accepted the painting with practiced gentleness. After chatting for a few more minutes, she stepped out of the office.

Down the hall, Willow stopped in her tracks. What had Yvette just taken from Dr. Walder's office?

She remembered clearly that the two of them had no prior relationship.

Then, she recalled hearing that Dr. Walder had a family heirloom painting that needed restoration. Could he have actually hired Yvette for the job?

Taking a few steps forward, she ran right into Dr. Walder. Stepping up with a bright smile, she said, "Dr. Walder, I am a professional restorer. I was wondering if I might have the honor of seeing your family heirloom?"

She deliberately lowered her posture to sound humble.

However, after the stunt she pulled with the hospital room recently, Dr. Walder had absolutely zero fondness for Willow.

He didn't even break his stride. "Ms. Huxley, I have patients waiting for me. I don't have time to chat."

Ever since she officially became Jabez's girlfriend, everyone she met treated her with absolute deference.

Facing such a blunt, merciless rejection for the first time, she stood there utterly frozen.

When she finally recovered, a dark flash of displeasure swept through her eyes.

-

Having just stepped off his flight from a business trip, Milton Graham received a call from Trent Sterling.

"Milton, did you see the news online?" Trent's voice was laced with worry.

"What news?"

"Yvette pushed Willow and gave her a concussion! She's hospitalized right now. When are you getting back? We should go visit her together."
