Chapter 15
After Tristan had learned of Yvetteâs pregnancy, he had instructed the hospital staff to keep him updated on her condition.
Upon hearing Tristanâs words, Xavier felt his heart skip a beat. âWhat happened?â
âI donât exactly know w
âs going on, but when I went to
the hospital today, the doctors said Yvette had died.â
Xavier felt as if he had been struck by lightning. How could Yvette be dead? She had been fine just last night!
Xavier stood up and instantly felt a bit lightâheaded. âWhat exactly happened?â
âThe doctors told me that Yvette was brought in late last night. She died today after they failed to resuscitate her.â
Without another word, Xavier grabbed his coat and left for the hospital.
As he drove there, the words Yvette had uttered the previous night echoed in his ears. âMr. Lane, would you be sad if I died?â
For some reason, he found it difficult to breathe. He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt but still felt suffocated.
When he finally reached the hospital, he found Tristan waiting for him outside.
âWhere is she?â Xavier asked, walking over to Tristan in

âThe nurses said someone took her away, and the surveillance showed that it was Claude.â
It was already 1:00 am by then. Tristan looked quite tired as he showed Xavier the surveillance footage.
âLast night, at around 12:00 am, Yvette was brought in for some reason. Then, she died from excessive blood loss.â
Xavier recalled that that as shortly after he had left. What exactly had happened during that time?
He refused to believe that she had died from excessive blood loss. He immediately made calls to investigate Claudeâs and Yvetteâs whereabouts.
It was destined to be another sleepless night.
Tristan paced in front of Xavier. âHow can someone just die like that? What is Deaf Yvvy up to this time?â
Xavier had no interest in discussing the matter. He
instructed Tristan to look into the situation in the hospital before leaving.
Once he left, the hospital staff organized Yvetteâs recent medical reports and handed them to Tristan.
Sitting in the executive office chair, Tristan opened the files before him and read through the documents impatiently.
Before this, he had only known that Yvette had been
hospitalized for attempting suicide by taking sleeping pills Then, she had been found to be pregnant.
But at that moment, he saw all her medical records, which

Yvette had worsening deafness that was leading to complete hearing loss. She also had recurring bleeding in her ears.
Her health issues were extensiveâshe had severe
depression, was suffering from a memory decline, and was infertile.
Her cause of death was longâterm depression and an overdose of sleeping pills. The overdose had resulted in mental confusion, leadin, rto cut her wrists. Ultimately, she had died from excessive blood loss.
Tristan was deeply shocked by what he read.
Beside him, Joe couldnât help but lament, âWhat a poor girl. How could she have suffered so much at such a young age?
âMr. Shaw, she saved you four years ago; you should help her in any way you can now.â
âWhat are you talking about?â Tristan was stunned for a moment before he looked up at Jose. âThe person who saved me was someone else. It wasnât her.â
âSomeone else?â Jose seemed puzzled.
âI clearly remember that sheâs the one who saved you. She sustained a long gash on her arm from a glass cut she got while saving you. Look at this photo.â
Jose remembered the scene from four years ago vividly. Yvette had been covered in blood, but she had disregarded her own injuries as she had rushed to the hospital.
At the time, Jose hadnât become the director yet. Yvette had

accident and there were victims to be saved.
The victim had turned out to be the Shawsâ young heir, Tristan!
In fact, it was this act of kindness that had helped Jose rise to his current position.
Even though it had been many years, he still vaguely remembered Yvetteâs face. The scar on her arm, which was roughly the length of a p n, was imprinted in his memory.
It was hard to imagine how Yvette had been purely focused on saving others when she had been badly injured herself- she hadnât even shed a tear at that time.
After Jose brought up the wound on his saviorâs arm, Tristan closely examined the photo. Indeed, there was a scar on Yvetteâs slender, fair arm. It had slightly faded with time.
He felt his heart clench.
