Chapter 319
Claude hadnât just come back for Yvette alone. He had also returned for the project that Xavier had taken from him before. Since he knew the current CEO at Lane Group was an imposter, he wasnât worried
away
at all.
Mark hadnât expected Claude to be so arrogant. Now that Xavier had lost his memories, there was no way Mark was going to tell him what Claude had sald.
However, Claude was determined to make Xavier see the reality of things.
Xavier was using his braille laptop at home as he waited for Yvette to come back. It was already 8:00 pm, but she hadnât returned yet. Usually, she wouldâve reached home by now.
At that moment, Xavier received a message on his phone. He quickly picked it up and played the message. âMr. Lane, this is Claude. I just want to let you know that Yvvy has been with me today, and sheâll be going home late.â
.
After hearing the message, Xavierâs face darkened. He couldnât focus on his work anymore, and he got up to leave the room. It was snowing heavily outside, and he was standing in the snow, frowning.
He took out his phone, which was specially made for blind people, and called Yvette. He had secretly gotten her phone number without her knowing.
Meanwhile, Yvette was still on her way home. Since she had spent a long time with Noah that day, she still hadnât reached home at that hour.
It was snowing badly, and she couldnât see the road clearly. The road was slippery as well, so she had to drive slowly.
Suddenly, her phone started ringing. She answered the call without looking at the caller ID. âHello?â
âWhere are you?â Xavier asked coldly from the other end of the call.
She didnât realize something was off from his tone and said, âIâm on my way.â
Right after saying that, the tires suddenly slipped. She couldnât see what was in front of her, and the car drove into the opposite lane. There was a loud crash as the car drove into a tree, and the airbags were deployed.
Yvette almost fainted from the shock, and her phone fell under the seat. Fortunately, she had been driving slowly and wasnât hurt.
Since she couldnât move the car right now, she could only turn on the hazard lights.
Yvette tried to grab her phone, but she couldnât reach it at all. Without any options left, she prepared herself to get out of the car. She wanted to see if there was anyone who could help her.
Meanwhile, Xavier had heard a loud crash from the other end of the line. When he tried calling Yvette again, there was no response anymore.
Since there was a blizzard that day, no one would be out on the streets at night. Yvette waited for a long time and didnât see any cars passing by at all. She was so cold that she couldnât stop trembling.
Ever since she had returned to Sangine County, she hadnât faced any danger anymore. Hence, she had told Ray he didnât need to protect her at all times.

Now, she had no choice but to walk home alone. She figured she would ask someone to tow the car when it stopped snowing the next morning.
As she walked home, she dragged her feet, freezing. There werenât any houses on her way home, and she remembered she had to walk at least two miles before she reached her house.
She did her best to move forward, but it was so cold that her hearing had gotten worse. Slowly, she had a harder time hearing the wind. She knew her ears had gotten worse.
After more than ten minutes of walking, she still couldnât see anything but snow. She started to feel dizzy and couldnât see the road clearly anymore. Then, she fell on the snow.
She still hadnât lost her consciousness, and she anxiously protected her belly. When she got up again, she couldnât move anymore.
âIt sure is coldâ¦â As she mumbled to herself, she didnât realize there was a tall man walking toward her. Since she couldnât hear anything, she didnât hear Xavier calling out to her. She only knew he had come when he suddenly hugged her.
If her memory served her right, the house was still half a mile away. She wondered how he had managed to get there when he couldnât see anything.
âIâm cold, Xavierâ¦â Before she could ask him how he found her, she couldnât stop saying how cold she
was.
He stopped her from explaining and picked her up. Then, he started walking back home. He couldnât help but ask, âWhy did you come back so late when you knew how cold it would be?â
Yvette couldnât hear him clearly. She grabbed his shirt tightly and couldnât help reaching under it for his warmth. âItâs coldâ¦â
Since she had touched him before, it didnât make any difference at that moment. She was freezing.
