"Okay, I will make time to come over when he is on duty for the next few nights. Anyway, you will always be here, right? I will try to come as often as possible until I meet him."
Xenia felt that this matter had been settled, so she decided to leave.
"Alas, you're leaving just like that?"
Yoel knew that the discussion was over. When Xenia shoved her phone into her bag, he knew that she was leaving.
He had not seen Xenia for a long time. It was rare to see her this time and obviously; he did not want her to leave.
"That's right. Harvey isn't here today. He'll be here tomorrow, so I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
Although Xenia hadn't been with Harvey for long, she remembered Harvey's work schedule like the back of her hand.
As Yoel looked at Xenia heading towards the exit, he quickly shouted, "Don't go. Accompany me for a while more. I'll sing for you and I'll tell you jokes, and..."
He was so excited that he fell off the bed.
"Thud!"
"Ouch!"
Xenia heard a loud thud just as she was about to head out. She instantly realized that Yoel had fallen down from the bed.
"Xenia, save me!"
Yoel knew that Xenia hadn't gone far, so he shouted loudly.
However, he didn't expect that she would walk all the way to the nurses' station and tell the nurse on duty, "The patient in room No. 9 has fallen from the bed. You'd better check it out."
With that said, she then turned around and left.
Yoel had been holding on to his own fantasy all along, thinking that Xenia would definitely return.
Based on his understanding of women, when a handsome man like him was in trouble, any woman would definitely save him.
He laid on the ground, while listening to the sound of footsteps moving away, and soon there were footsteps approaching.
The footsteps were very chaotic. He immediately realized that it was more than one person. Yoel laid on the ground and said narcissistically, "I knew you wouldn't leave me. You called the nurse for me, didn't you? I forgive you."
"Mr. Jakeman, w-what's wrong with you?"
"Madam, please step aside. We need to carry the patient onto the bed."
Yoel laid on the ground and pretended to be in pain with his eyes closed. He heard two voices.
One was Amelia, and the other was a nurse.
Yoel's heart sank into despair as he said to himself internally, "Xenia, you're really one of a kind. Surely I will be able to conquer you."
Soon, he was carried to bed by the two medical staff.
"It's such a wide bed. How did you fall to the ground?"
After putting him back on the bed, the doctor asked Yoel while checking every part of his body.
This was a private hospital. Although the patient didn't sleep on a king-sized bed, it was also 1.2 meters in width. It was much bigger than the beds of an ordinary hospital.
"I..." Yoel lifted his eyes and looked at Amelia, who stood beside him with a worried expression on her face. He then found an excuse and said, "I was dreaming and I didn't sleep well."
Of course, he couldn't mention Xenia's name.
Yoel knew that it was important to not mention another woman's name in front of a woman.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong. The both of you can continue chatting."
The doctor examined Yoel and went out after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.
After the doctor left, Amelia sat by his side while looking at him. She asked, "Who did you say... wouldn't leave you?"
"Even your husband doesn't care, and you, a woman, have never shown your face in public either. I've told you last time that even if you make a lawsuit, it would be very difficult for you to win."
While Yoel spoke, he did not forget the mission that Hector had assigned him.
"But he doesn't care, so what can I do?"
As Amelia spoke, she started to sob.
Yoel was annoyed to see her crying, but he was still patient. "Auntie Harington, why don't you talk to your daughter? Maybe she will be mentally prepared after she tells the truth."
Now that Valerie had already begun receiving her punishment, her family could come to visit.
"Well, I'm going to visit her and send her something. I don't want her to lead a hard life in prison."
"Then, does your husband want to go?"
"He... He won't go."
Yoel knew that this was a good opportunity and immediately retorted, "How is he even qualified to be your husband then? What's the difference between having a husband and not having one? I really don't think it's worth it. You're working so hard for your daughter alone, and he doesn't care about her at all."
"Yes..." Amelia didn't know about Yoel's hidden agenda. When she heard this, she only felt that he was speaking of her own feelings. She immediately cried. "I've had a hard life. When I was young, I really misjudged him..."
She cried as she spoke. All of a sudden, her makeup was ruined.
Yoel knew that this was the best chance. If he continued, Amelia would definitely be the first to think of divorcing Hector.
Then, the deal between him and Hector would end.
He could then pursue Xenia properly!
As he thought of this, Yoel thought about it thoroughly before he said, "Auntie Harington, in fact, you are still young. Besides, there are still many good men. Why don't you free yourself?"
Yoel's words were gentle and calm. He did not mention himself, but it was enough to make Amelia misunderstand.
