Chapter 188
Felix gave a gentle smile, his eyes full of warmth. “Silly Yvette, how could your matters be a bother? Besides, I don’t have anything else going on right now, so you don’t need to worry about troubling me.”
Rebecca saw Yvette being so cautious and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity. “Exactly, you silly kid, there’s no need to be so polite with your brother!”
Yvette’s smile was a bit stiff, and feeling resigned, she secretly clenched her fist. After taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage and said, “Actually… I already went to the hospital a few days ago.”
“What?” Selena was full of concern. “Why are you going to the hospital when you’re fine? Are you feeling unwell?” Cody frowned with worry and asked, “Why didn’t you tell the family? Who went with you to the hospital?”
A happy smile appeared on Yvette’s face. She said, “It was just a normal check–up. I’m fine, Dad, Mom, Grandma, don’t worry about me. Plus, there’s some good news.”
Yvette exhaled and continued, “My doctor said my condition is very stable now. As long as I keep my emotions steady, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
“And he mentioned that they’ve developed a new special medicine abroad. It’s used twice a month for a year–long course. If it works, I might not need a kidney transplant,” she said.
Then she gave Finn a sweet smile. “You know, this saves our family a good 30 million dollars, right?”
Before Shakira cut off ties, Finn had already offered a reward of 30 million dollars for a kidney. But now, hearing Yvette speak this way, the Nelson family feels incredibly conflicted.
Yvette was incredibly considerate! She was willing to endure her illness alone, not wanting to waste the family’s money, always putting her family first. How could there be such a thoughtful and sweet child!
Seeing everyone silent, Yvette continued with a gentle smile, “Actually, I didn’t plan to tell you all about this. I didn’t want to
worry you.
“Besides, this specific drug is new and only made by one company overseas. It’s still patented, which makes it very expensive. Just one dose costs 200 thousand dollars…”
At this point, Yvette, slightly shy, bit her lip and said, “I thought about going on the reality TV show to earn money, so I could afford the medicine myself and not be a burden on the family.”
“Yvette! Oh, my silly daughter!” Rebecca couldn’t hold back anymore. She leaned over and hugged Yvette tightly, quietly sobbing as she couldn’t control her emotions.
“It’s our duty and responsibility as your family to make sure you have a healthy body. You’re never a burden to us. You’re our little princess. Even if it costs 30 million dollars for a transplant, we’d manage,” said Rebecca.
Felix was also touched by Yvette’s plan. He asked with concern, “Which company’s medicine is it? Maybe I have friends who can help us, Money’s not an issue, but it definitely has to be safe and effective.”
Finn agreed, “Yeah, Felix makes a good point. Money’s not the issue, but we need to ensure the medicine is reliable.”
Yvette reassured Rebecca gently and said, “Don’t worry, Felix. Dr Jenkins has been my main doctor for a while. He’s good at what he does and knows my health better than anyone else. I trust him.
“The medicine is made by a small company in Danva. It’s a new patent and probably not widely known yet. After he mentioned it that day, I bought the medicine once. I’ve felt quite energetic these past few days, so it should be fine.”
Yvette, afraid that others wouldn’t believe her, took out her phone to show her health data.

“Mom, look, I couldn’t sleep for more than five hours last month and I’d wake up suddenly in the night. But these days, I’ve been able to sleep soundly until morning, so it seems to be working,” she said.
Rebecca looked at the list on the phone, nodding happily. “Yes, your sleeping well is more important than anything!”
Felix also took a look at it, and after confirming there were no issues, he gently ruffled Yvette’s hair. “Just keep an eye on it for now. If you feel even a bit uncomfortable, make sure to let me know right away.”
“Sure!” said Yvette.
As the head of the family, Cody spoke up proactively, “After dinner, I’ll arrange for the company to set aside 600 thousand dollars every month for your medicine. And if there’s anything else you need, don’t hesitate to tell us, okay?”
Yvette was overwhelmed with surprise and gratitude, tears welling up in her eyes. “Okay! I’ll work twice as hard to become even more successful, so I can earn lots of money to support Dad, Mom, Grandma, and my brothers!”
The Nelson family was filled with laughter at Yvette’s words, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere for the entire family.

When Walter arrived at the office, he immediately jumped into a series of meetings. The day’s work had been postponed, waiting for him to come back and finalize everything.
By a little after 3 PM, Walter was finally able to relax. Brian came in with a simple meal and some documents.
“Mr. Lopez, this is the annual event plan drafted by the administration department,” said Brian.
Walter nodded, ignoring the food and opening the event plan first. Seeing the location for this year’s event, he raised an eyebrow and said, “The southern beach?”
“That’s right. They say there’s a cold wave coming this winter, and more than seventy percent of the company voted to go south for the event,” said Brian.
Every year, the location for the annual meeting was decided by employee votes. Walter nodded thoughtfully. “Alright, let’s go with that. Let’s have Benji take a look too, and if everything’s good, we’ll settle it,” said Walter. Brian nodded and said, “No problem.” Then he turned and left, not wanting to disturb Walter’s short break.
Walter’s gaze swept over the empty desk, and suddenly thinking of something, he called out, “Brian, how do I connect the printer on the counter to my phone?”
He was always busy with countless tasks, so he didn’t have the opportunity to handle basic office equipment. It was somewhat challenging for him.
