Over the next few days, Yvette stayed at the Gray House, focusing on managing Evelynn's illness.
Her condition was visibly improving, and she no longer looked frail and sickly. Her face now lit up with the kind of joy and energy you would expect from a child her age.
She had also grown very close to Yvette, letting her guard down and becoming increasingly dependent on her.
"Yvette, the weather is nice today. Can I go out and play in the sun?"
Evelynn, with her sweet and innocent look, was like a beautiful doll. Her hopeful gaze made it impossible for Yvette to say no to her request.
"Sure, but remember to limit your time in the sun since you're still weak." Yvette gently pinched her little face with her pale fingers, speaking softly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and only stay outside for a bit!"
Evelynn's pale face was beaming with a radiant smile. She sat obediently in the wheelchair as a staff member pushed her to the garden.
"Oh, it's so beautiful! And it feels so warm." Her smile grew even brighter as she spoke sincerely.
"Yvette, I used to always wonder why I hadn't died—why I was still alive. The pain I felt was unbearable. Being locked in the basement, injected with drugs every day—it was pure torture. I constantly wished for an end to it all.
"But it's different now. I have a family. Because of my family and you, Yvette, I've discovered the beauty of life. I want to live and grow up strong so that one day, I can be the one who protects you."
As Yvette listened to Evelynn's words, her heart felt a pang of sadness.
If she couldn't obtain the drug developed by DY Organization and create an antidote, Evelynn's condition would deteriorate. Her organs would fail, and she would likely not live more than six months.
And then there were the other children taken by DY Organization as test subjects. All of them would eventually suffer from organ failure and die.
"Yes, Evelynn. You will grow up to be happy and healthy." Yvette set aside her complicated emotions and offered her sincere blessings.
Evelynn had already suffered enough. Yvette only hoped the young girl had nothing but joy and happiness ahead of her.
Evelynn's weak body couldn't handle being outside for too long, so she was taken back inside by the staff.
Yvette also decided to head back to the hotel to check on Madison and the others. As soon as she got into the car, she received a message from Jake.
"Boss, Victoria has been behaving herself. She goes to Quinn Manor every day to visit Mrs. Quinn Senior. There's nothing suspicious about her behavior. Boss, should I keep watching her?"
Yvette's beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as she typed out a response with her slender fingers.
"Continue keeping an eye on her."
As Jake read the message, he didn't quite understand Yvette's intentions. But he still followed her orders without question.
"Okay, boss!"
"Ms. Murray, we're here." The driver's tone was respectful as he spoke.
Yvette nodded, and with her long, slender legs, stepped out of the car.
