Chapter 523 He Is Heartbroken

Chapter 523: Chapter 523 He Is Heartbroken

Lance’s expression was grim. Sweat was oozing on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to look normal.

Frankie was wary of the eyes behind him. He pretended to open the car door and took the opportunity to hold Lance’s arm.

Lance finally moved his legs and got into the car.

However, as soon as he entered, he could not even lean against the back of the chair and fell straight onto the seat.

Frankie was shocked and closed the car door in a second, not letting the eyes behind him notice anything wrong.

After returning to the driver’s seat, Frankie saw that Lance couldn’t get up on his own. Just as he wanted to reach out to support him, he was scolded by Lance.

"Drive the car!"

Frankie’s arm paused. He gritted his teeth and started the engine.

The next second, he heard a sound.

"Pfft!"

The man in the back seat tried to get up but failed. He spat out blood because he used too much force.

"Mr. Wolseley!" Frankie subconsciously stepped on the brake to stop the car.

"Don’t... stop."

Lance clenched his fists and uttered with great difficulty, "Continue to drive. Go to Serenity Villa."

Yes, he had moved back to Serenity Villa.

Without permission, Frankie did not dare to stop the car, but he was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

"Mr. Wolseley, let’s go to the hospital to have a check, please."

"No need." Lance’s face was as white as a sheet, and he refused indifferently.

The hospital couldn’t help at all. They would only give him some painkillers.

Even the best hospital couldn’t find out what kind of poison he had in his body, let alone detoxify it.

Soon, he could only rely on the help of the wheelchair to move.

He felt desperate to watch his body decline day by day.

He wanted to bear it alone.

As for the woman he treasured with his life, it was enough for him to see her safe and sound for the rest of her life.

When they arrived at Serenity Villa, Frankie helped Lance to the gate. Lance waved his hand and said, "Go back."

Frankie was unwilling to leave. Looking at Lance, who was supporting himself with the door frame, Frankie felt anxious.

Because Lance’s physical condition couldn’t be exposed, all the servants in the villa had been sent away.

In the cold and dark big house, not even a light was turned on.

Thinking that Lance would lie here alone, Frankie felt very sad.

Who could have imagined that the glamorous president with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars would live such a miserable life?

Frankie did not understand one thing. Lance’s ability was completely above Colton’s and Charlie’s. Now that the two of them had been suppressed by Lance, why was he still so cautious?

However, according to Frankie’s understanding of Lance, Frankie thought that the latter was definitely planning something big.

And all Frankie could do was cooperate and comply.

Frankie sniffed. He had a lump in his throat as he said, "Mr. Wolseley, let me stay here and take care of you."

Lance’s eyes looked colder under the moonlight that came into the room from the window. "Go and keep an eye on that group of people and see what they are planning!"

Colton lost his wings in the company. He would not let this matter go.

After things were brought to the table, Colton was even more unscrupulous. He even brazenly found people to follow Lance.

On the other hand, Charlie was demoted, yet he still stayed in the company.

The two of them must be planning something and waiting for a counterattack. Lance could not let down his guard now.

This was because other than Colton and Charlie, there was an even more dangerous and terrifying existence that directly threatened Yvette’s life.

What Lance needed to do next was to draw enemy fire on himself, and at that time, the people around him would all be implicated.

Therefore, time was pressing, and he had to spare no effort to push Yvette away to ensure her safety.

Lance looked at the dark night outside and his dark eyes were determined.

No matter how powerful the other party was, he would definitely catch all the people who wanted to harm Yvette before he fell and then burn them into ashes.

Even if he had to turn into ashes with them, he would not hesitate!

Lance finished smoking a cigarette and returned to the big bed.

He didn’t cover himself with anything. He just lied there.

As soon as he closed his eyes, those words would repeat themselves in his mind. "She gave up."

Every time he closed his eyes, the crack in his heart would grow wider. It was so painful that he felt suffocated.

Yvette called her Mr. Wolseley.

It broke his heart.

...

At West Lake Villa.

Marlon stood at the door with a suit on his arm. He was ready to leave.

Seeing that Yvette had not returned, he was a little worried and wanted to go out to wait for her.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, Yvette came back.

"You’re back!"

Marlon casually sized up Yvette. Although she had already checked her look before getting out of the car, Marlon still saw the torn corner of the sweater and an indistinct greenish-purple handprint on her lower jaw.

Marlon could no longer remain calm.

"Who did this to you?"

Marlon pulled Yvette’s hand, which was cold.

He hurriedly put the suit in his hand on Yvette and helped her to sit down on the sofa.

He knew what his priority was.

After confirming that Yvette was not injured, he would definitely go to the person held accountable.

Whoever bullied his sister, he would definitely kill them!

Marlon bent in front of Yvette. He asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Yvette’s blank eyes were lifeless. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Marlon, he clearly risked his life for me. In the end, why did he not want me anymore?"

Marlon’s Adam’s apple bobbed and his voice was a little hoarse as he said. "He is an idiot."

Yvette’s heart was in pain.

Letting go did not mean that she really walked out of the relationship. It was just that her upbringing and self-esteem did not allow her to continue like that.

"Marlon..."

Yvette leaned her head on Marlon’s shoulder and suddenly burst into tears. "The Lance who used to be very good to me has really disappeared."

She had taken too much in her heart. It was not strange that she suddenly collapsed.

After Yvette grew up, she rarely cried like this without caring about her image.

It was not the kind of suppressed sob, but a hysterical cry.

Marlon was her family, just like her father. She always felt secure with them.

She did not need to care about her image in front of them.

Seeing Yvette cry like this, Marlon felt so distressed that he did not know what to do. He could only pat her back with trembling palms to comfort her.

When they were young, Yvette was a good sister. Every time she had delicious food, she would bring some to Marlon.

Later, she went missing and it became an unspeakable pain in his heart.

However, it was fortunate that they were still as close as they used to be when they were reunited.

That kind of intimate kinship made them feel as if they had never been separated.

He only had one sister. He had sworn to his father that he would take good care of Yvette for the rest of his life.

But now he broke his promise. He did not take good care of his sister.

Marlon Adam’s apple bobbed and he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Yvette, you still have me, dad, and mom. They are waiting to meet you."

Yvette cried for a long time. After venting her emotions, she felt better.

She took a deep breath and comforted Marlon, "Marlon, I’m fine. I will go back to work tomorrow."

Marlon frowned. "There’s no need to be in such a hurry. Your health..."

"I’m fine. Marlon, there’s something else I want to tell you."

"What?"

Yvette paused for a moment, then covered her belly with her hand and said slowly, "I’m going to give birth to the babies. When I am five months pregnant, I’ll go abroad to wait for the delivery."

She had already made up her mind. She would work overtime to finish the work in the studio and leave the rest to the person in charge there.

Her pregnancy was not obvious now. It was getting colder and colder, and she wore thick clothes.

Before she was five months pregnant, she could put on some loose clothes to hide her pregnancy.

As for going abroad for delivery, it was because she did not want to have anything to do with the Wolseley family.

With her ability and her family background, she was completely capable of giving her children a good life.

There was no need to worry at all.

As for why she decided to give birth to the twins, on one hand, it was for the sake of Isabel. On the other hand, it was because her mother had not been found yet. She did not want to kill innocent lives.

More importantly, she also wanted to keep the twins.

Marlon’s Adam’s apple throbbed. He agreed, "If you want, then do it. Our family can afford to raise them."

Marlon doted on his sister. He had always unconditionally supported whatever Yvette wanted to do.

Moreover, he was not very supportive of Yvette’s having an abortion. Giving birth and having an abortion were both harmful to one’s health. So, it was better to give birth. The Lynn family would have more people this way.

He patted Yvette’s hand and comforted her, "But you have to suffer for the pregnancy."

Yvette thought for a while and reminded him, "Dad is not in good health. It is better not to tell him about this. When I go there in two months, I will explain it to him personally."

Marlon nodded. "Okay, I will listen to you."

He saw that Yvette was stable and calm again. He stood up and said, "Have a good rest. Go to the studio two days later. Susana will be there to keep an eye on everything. It will be fine. I will go back first."

Yvette stood up and called out to him, "Marlon."

Marlon stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

"There is one more thing you have to promise me."

"What?"

"Lance didn’t bully me today. It’s just that our thoughts are different, so we got into a dispute. Don’t go and find trouble with him."

Marlon’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He didn’t expect Yvette to see through his thoughts.

He raised his eyes and said calmly, "I won’t go to him."

"No, you swear."

Yvette knew her brother too well.

He couldn’t wait to leave. Probably he was eager to go to confront Lance.

"Yvette..." Marlon thought for a moment, not wanting to agree.

"Marlon, I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to be a stranger. But he is the father of my children. I don’t want them to know that their dad and uncle are at odds with each other."

Lance and the children were related by blood, while Marlon was their uncle. They were people that were both very important to the children.

When her children grew up, she would tell them who their father was.

As for whether they wanted to see her father and the relatives on his side, she would respect the children’s decision.

Marlon finally loosened his clenched fists with great difficulty. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I promise you that I won’t cause trouble for him."

...

Yvette had a light slumber.

Ever since Lance fell into the sea and exploded, she had never had a good sleep.

At night, she would always be woken up by a sharp pain in her heart. After waking up, the huge feeling of emptiness made it difficult for her to fall asleep again.

As the situation went on, the quality of her sleep became worse and worse.

Last night, perhaps because she had decided to let go, she no longer had those nightmares.

Although she did not sleep for a long time, at least she did not wake up in the middle of the night.

After washing up, she sent Isabel to kindergarten with Kamila.

Isabel would spend her last half day in kindergarten. Isabel offered to say goodbye to her classmates in kindergarten.

Because of the incident last time, Yvette felt uneasy and decided to send Isabel abroad as soon as possible.

Yvette was pregnant now and did not have enough energy to take care of Isabel. She had to deal with the work in the studio and was afraid that if she was careless, Isabel’s life would be threatened again.

Therefore, she decided to send Isabel and Kamila abroad in advance. Cameron could take care of Isabel. Anyway, Yvette would go abroad to wait for the delivery. It would not be long before they would meet again.

When they arrived at the airport, Isabel’s eyes were red, and she was very reluctant to leave Yvette.

Yvette also felt sad in her heart. If possible, she did not want to leave Isabel at all.

However, there were still many things in the studio that needed to be put on the right track. She had to deal with them properly before she could go over.

She squatted down, took Isabel in her arms, and said in a low voice, "Belle, be good. Go find grandpa first. Your grandpa always tells me that he misses you so much."

Isabel had been in New York for a while and she missed Cameron a little too.

She nodded, her eyes red. "Mommy, take good care of yourself. Eat your meals on time and sleep on time."

Before they parted, Yvette held Isabel tightly again and felt sad to part with Isabel.

"Be good and listen to Kamila and Ayana on the way. Do you understand?"

Isabel nodded obediently. In order to not let her mother worry, she even showed a bright smile and skipped and walked forward with Kamila.

Yvette said to Ayana, "Ayana, please take care of Belle and Kamila. The bodyguards sent by my father have arrived at the airport. You can send Belle to the manor and then come back."

"Don’t worry, Ms. Lynn, I will definitely send Isabel to the manor safely."

Ayana continued in a worried voice, "But Ms. Lynn, you have to be careful in New York."

"I’m fine. Oliver is with me."

After they boarded the plane, Yvette got into the car and returned to the studio.

On the highway, she looked at the city that was constantly retreating and the slowly rising plane.

Yvette clearly knew that she had to be strong.

Soon, there would be three children that she needed to take care of. She could not keep being dispirited.

Yvette returned to the studio and worked hard for five consecutive days. Finally, because she felt unwell, Marlon forced her to rest at home.

After resting for a day, she felt a lot better. When she got up and went to the bathroom, she saw a gray soap on the sink. She was stunned.

She opened the drawer and checked the cupboard. She found that Lance had left so many things here.

When he said that he wanted to live in the villa, he began to act shamelessly and put his things in the villa bit by bit. Every place that Yvette could see had traces of him.

She spent half a day searching the whole villa.

She packed all Lance’s things in the house and put them in cardboard boxes. She then asked the assistant to find a delivery man to send them away.

The name of the receiver was Frankie.

When Frankie saw the four big boxes at the front desk of the company, he was stunned.

Fortunately, Yvette knew that the things had arrived, so she sent a message to Frankie.

Yvette: "Mr. Wolseley left some items in my place. I don’t know how to deal with them. Frankie, please take care of them."

The tone was distant and formal.
