The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 85

By the time Cassidy helped Jasmine over to Valery's room, Valery had just drifted off to sleep.

Mrs. Smith shot Jasmine a reproachful look. "Why are you only getting here now? Didn't we send for you last night?"

Catching sight of the red welt still marking Jasmine's cheek, a brief flash of guilt crossed Mrs. Smith's face. Softening her tone slightly, she sighed, "Never mind. Nothing happened. Just wait here, and when Valery wakes up, go in and keep her company."

Jasmine didn't respond to the demand. Instead, she said, "Mom, Yates and I shouldn't go through with the wedding."

Before Mrs. Smith could react, Yates instantly stepped forward. "I refuse!"

"Yates, I told you yesterday. If we get married, Valery will absolutely want to be there," Jasmine stated calmly. "If you tell her she can't come, she'll be furious. If you try to bring her, the doctors won't allow it. So, what's the solution?"

"I just can't bear to see Valery suffer anymore. Compared to her health, my own happiness means nothing."

Mrs. Smith was completely cornered by Jasmine's logic. "Well... you have a point."

"No!" Yates quickly interrupted. "Valery has always said that one of her biggest dreams is to see us tie the knot!"

"Besides, if you tell her the wedding is off right now, not only will her dream be crushed, but she'll inevitably think it's because she ruined the engagement party! That'll shatter her!"

Mrs. Smith snapped out of her daze. "Yes, exactly! Valery wants to see you two married."
