The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 40

Inside a high-end restaurant, crystal chandeliers refracted brilliant light, and melodious piano music flowed through the air.

Tamara, dressed in a new Chanel dress with exquisite makeup and red lips, gently swirled the wine in her glass. Her gaze, however, remained fixed on Milford opposite her. Milford was dressed handsomely today, his blue suit highlighting his nobility. Facing Tamara, his expression was always affectionate and gentle. Today was the anniversary of their relationship.

Since Yvonne's accident four years ago, Tamara had always acted gentle and attentive in front of the Sherwood family. She took care of Yvonne with meticulous detail, as if treating Yvonne as her own sister. It was only after Yvonne woke from her coma and showed great resistance to Tamara that she reduced the frequency of her hospital visits.

During the time she cared for Yvonne, she had stayed by her bedside without rest, becoming visibly thinner within a month. This touched both Milford and Gloria deeply. When they told Tamara to rest, she refused, saying she wanted to atone for her sister Leilani. The Sherwoods was so moved by Tamara's dedication that they despised Leilani even more.

Consequently, Tamara successfully confirmed her relationship with Milford soon after, and once Yvonne stabilized, they held an engagement party.

"Milford, I heard Yvonne's condition has stabilized a lot recently?" Tamara asked softly, her eyes holding just the right amount of concern.

Tamara's concern for Yvonne seemed genuine and sincere. This made Milford feel a bit guilty. Because of Leilani's words, he had indeed harbored some bad suspicions about Tamara recently, leading him to neglect her for a while. Yet, Tamara showed no dissatisfaction and remained as concerned about Yvonne as ever. Milford felt annoyed with himself.

However, thinking about how Yvonne's mental state had improved significantly after Leilani's acupuncture—although she was still paralyzed and had memory loss, she no longer suffered from insomnia caused by headaches—Milford's brow relaxed.

Milford answered the phone. "Dr. Larson?" He didn't lower his voice while speaking; he had no guard against Tamara.

Tamara's gaze followed him almost imperceptibly. Seeing his focused expression, she pretended to organize her napkin while scooting closer to his direction. She wondered silently: Wasn't Dr. Larson Yvonne's attending physician? Calling at this time... did something happen to Yvonne?

On the other end, Dr. Larson's voice came through clearly. "Mr. Sherwood, regarding Ms. Sherwood, her various indicators have indeed improved significantly. In particular, her neural response and muscle activity have increased by 20% compared to last week. If Ms. Sloan continues this treatment long-term, Ms. Sherwood's legs might really recover completely."

"Really? Is there really hope for her to stand up again?" Milford's voice grew louder with happy shock. The news that his sister could return to normal filled him with joy.
