At that thought, Yvette calmed down.
"He's just an old friend.Nicole, since I’m back, you don’t need to continue the investigation.How are you doing lately?"
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
"I’m fine.I was just so worried about your safety.Aunt Quimbey and Aunt Fiona were also worried sick when we lost contact with you.I helped to search for you but couldn’t find any clues.All of a sudden, Lance was hospitalized, and you disappeared, so how can we not be worried? Clayton wasn’t very familiar with the underground business in Atlanta, so he didn’t dare to get involved.I’m so glad you’re okay, Yvette."
Nicole was downcast when she said this.It was easy for Clayton to get involved, but that would disturb their peaceful life and ruin their family.
Nicole was constantly struggling about whether she should get involved and dared not make a decision.
Yvette understood Nicole’s dilemma and sighed.
"Nicole, stop thinking about it.I’m fine now, so don’t worry.It’s already so late, so you should sleep.We can talk tomorrow."
"Okay."
Yvette hung up the phone.She saw her mother’s tired face and felt guilty.
In addition to the guilt, she also hated Sean even more.If it were not for him, Yvette would not end up like this.
"Mom, you should go upstairs and rest too."
Mrs.Quimbey nodded.She could not sleep well when Yvette was missing.
Now that Yvette was home, Mrs.Quimbey was relieved.
"Do you want to contact the police? We’ve made a police report for so many days, so we should give them an explanation."
Yvette pursed her lips and thought about it.
"I'll call them tomorrow.I want to go upstairs and take a shower."
"Okay, go on then."
Mrs.Quimbey did not stop Yvette.
Yvette hugged her mother and went upstairs alone.She sat quietly beside the bed in her familiar room.
Yvette getting to go home was a pleasant surprise after all that happened earlier that night.
But...
What next? Would Sean really let Yvette go? Yvette went to the bathroom to take a shower.She also slept for a while and got up before dawn.
Yvette left a note for her mother and went to the hospital.She was really worried about Lance.
The sky was still mostly dark with a sliver of light on the horizon.
The air was chilly and humid.
Yvette went back to the same hospital and noticed there were a lot more bodyguards than the last time she was there.
Seeing this, she felt relieved.
The bodyguards recognized Yvette, so they let her through.
Yvette pushed the door into the ward and saw Fiona dozing off on the sofa.
Fiona stood up in surprise when she heard the movement.
"Yvette, why are you here so early?"
Yvette smiled, but she was distressed when she noticed that Fiona had lost weight.She did not know how to explain to Fiona what happened during this time.
Fortunately, Fiona did not force Yvette to speak and took Yvette’s hand to lead her to the hospital bed.
The medical instruments beeped rhythmically.
Lance lay on the bed.His complexion was much better than before.
Yvette’s heart suddenly clenched.
"Mom, why hasn’t he woken up yet?"
Fiona shook her head in distress and said in a trembling voice, "The doctor said that his ribs were broken, and his head was severely injured.The clot in his brain hasn't subsided yet, so he’s only awake at certain times.He needs to be observed for a few more days at least.If he doesn’t get better, I’ll send him abroad for surgery."
Yvette’s face was pale.She pursed her lips, and her eyes blurred.
Yvette was in so much pain as if a thin thread was slowly tightening around her heart and suffocating her.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe was almost out of breath as she stood there silently, heartbroken.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
I liked this book and wanted to read it. As I have moved into the chapters, I have found that it is unreadable due to typographical errors, including sentences that are incomplete, complete gibberish, missing elements. This is not just some misspelled words. It is actually unreadable. If you decide to fix this, let me know and I will read it....
