Yvette remembered how angry Xavier had looked back then. He had dragged her to a secluded place and scolded her. “Do you think I’m not embarrassed enough?”
He had then tossed the bouquet she had brought into the trash can and said, “If you’re bored, find a job. Stop doing useless shit like this all the time.”
Back then, Yvette had stood still and looked at him in disappointment. “Usually, a guy would confess to the woman he likes. I thought you would feel happy if I confessed to you instead.”
After all, they were already married, but things hadn’t progressed between them at all.
“Don’t talk about love with me in the future. It’s childish,” he said.
From then on, she hadn’t dared to mention anything about love anymore. Usually, there were so many intimate couples on the streets, all expressing how much they loved each other. She had never experienced how it felt. That day, someone started setting the fireworks before the sky even got dark. The loud explosion from the distance pulled her back to her senses immediately.
As she looked at Xavier, who had pulled her into his embrace, she still couldn’t bring herself to say that she loved him. She had already been traumatized once, and it was too hard to overcome it.
“Xavier, we’re both adults now, so please stop being so childish.”
She got out of his arms. When she looked up at him again, she noticed his face was covered in red spots.
“You’re having an allergic reaction…”
Xavier had just thought his face felt itchy; he never would’ve thought he was allergic. Yvette dropped everything that was on her mind and hurriedly said, “Let’s go now. I’ll call Ray and get him to take you to the hospital.” When Ray arrived in a hurry, he was shocked. He didn’t think Xavier would have an allergic reaction in less than an hour.
Soon, they took him to the hospital to get a check-up. Yvette knew he was allergic to pollen, but she hadn’t expected him to be allergic to street food as well. She couldn’t help but think that he was quite fragile. After the check-ups were done, she finally understood that Xavier wasn’t allergic to the food. Instead, he was most likely allergic to someone’s perfume in the crowd earlier.
He hated how those perfumes smelled, and the women around him wouldn’t use any at all. That was why Yvette didn’t have the habit of putting perfume on.
When they had gone out in the past, he would have his personal driver. He also wouldn’t walk on the street that much.
That day, they had been in close contact with a lot of people. Naturally, it was easy for him to have an allergic reaction.
While he received treatment, Yvette waited outside with Ray. The latter finally couldn’t help saying, “Ms. Snyder, I’ve looked into Mr. Lander like you asked last time.” “How is he?” she immediately asked.
“He was injured badly, and he’s still in the hospital now.” Ray paused for a moment and continued, “From what I’ve checked, it has something to do with the man inside that
room.”

She was shocked. “Are you saying that Xavier was the one who hurt Claude?”
Ray didn’t confirm or deny it. “According to my investigation, the only person who could hurt Mr. Lander in Sangine County was him.”
However, Xavier looked extremely fragile at that moment. Ray wanted to say that, but he was worried he would be stepping over the line. So, he stopped speaking.
“Got it. Please help me find a way to contact Claude.” Yvette felt extremely complicated at that moment.
“Sure. However, the Lander family is
on high alert. They won’t allow
anyone to visit him for the time
being.” Ray was now Yvette’s
subordinate, so it wouldn’t be
for him to approach Claude directly.
She nodded. “Then, let’s wait a little while longer.”

After she was done talking to Ray, she coldly entered Xavier’s ward Since his allergic reaction wasn’t that serious, the red spots on his face faded away in no time after he applied some medicine.
