The wind was strong outside, and the tree outside was covered in so much snow that it was bending to one side. When the nurse brought Yvette her dinner, she didnât have much appetite and only took a few bites.
Shannon suddenly came and said nothing as she closed the curtains. Compared to how glorious she had looked before, she looked extra miserable and pale at that moment. There was a deafening silence in the ward.
Shannon turned around to look at Yvette and went straight to the point. âThe baby youâre carrying belongs to Xavier, right?â
The latter instinctively lied, âNo.â
Shannon narrowed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. âYou donât have to lie. I know you were with Xav when you got pregnant.â
âWere you watching over us during the night as well?â Yvette asked.
Shannon was stunned into silence. Xavier wasnât awake yet, and Yvette was saying that the child wasnât his.
Shannon wondered if someone else was really going to inherit the Lane familyâs assets. She wouldnât allow it to happen!
âYvvy.â She spoke softly as she walked to Yvetteâs bed. âI know I was harsh with you in the past. However, if you lie to me because of this, youâll be taking it too far. Itâs not up to you to decide if the child is our familyâs kid.â
Yvette knew Shannon liked to be in control. If the latter knew the truth, she wouldnât be able to get the child back after giving birth.
âMadam Shannon, Iâve already made it clear to you. If you still donât believe me, you can ask your son about it.â
Shannon froze. When she heard Yvette mention Xavier, her eyes turned red. âHow dare you mention Xav? Donât you know heâs still in the ICU after trying to save you? The doctor also said that his eyes had been destroyed by glass shards.â (1
Both of his eyes had been pierced by glass shards, and they couldnât be saved anymore. Yvette looked at
her in shock. She was in disbelief.
âWhat?â
âThe doctor said that even if Xav can wake up, heâll be blind!â Shannon clenched her fists.
Her impressive son had been destroyed just like that. Since Xavier had become blind, she didnât know who she could rely on next.
Yvette had never expected a person who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth to actually turn blind! She wondered what would happen if a proud man like him became blind.
Other than being tricked into marriage, she knew the other reason he didnât like her before was because she was hearingâimpaired.

As a result, she had been mocked by many wealthy people, and Xavier had dreaded taking her to various events. Now, his eyes were destroyed.
Shannon could tell from Yvetteâs eyes that she wasnât as cruel as she looked.
âYvette, Xav told me you were the one who saved me in the past. At first, I didnât believe him. Then, I got someone to look into it.
âIt turned out that I was blind and had misunderstood my savior. So, Iâll apologize to you right now!
âXav has paid for my sins by saving you this time. However, you shouldnât be ungrateful!â
She kept staring at Yvette as she slowly asked, âCan you tell me the truth now? Who is the father of the baby in your belly?â
Fathe
Shannon had thought about it. If Yvette admitted that the child belonged to Xavier, she would do her best to raise the child and let the child inherit Xavierâs place
Yvette stayed quiet for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, someone knocked on the door in a hurry.
After Shannon opened the door, Yvette heard the nurse say in the distance, âMadam Shannon, Mr. Lane is awake.â
