Chapter 361
Terrence hadnât expected Yvette to refuse his request and lecture him to boot. Infuriated, he gripped her shoulder harshly.
âWhy talk so much if you donât want to help?â he spat.
âI knew you were unreliable. You might be content with wasting away, but I refuse to be like you! I was the grandson of a tycoon, and Iâll follow in our grandfatherâs footsteps. Iâll restore Snyder Group. You donât deserve our family name!â
With that, Terrence pushed Yvette away forcefully. She stumbled back, nearly falling to the ground, but a strong arm caught her.
âAre you okay?â Xavierâs deep voice sounded in her ear.
Yvette wasnât able to tell him to go back inside in time.
Terrence was stunned to see Xavier there. âXavier, wâwhat are you doing here? If youâre here, why did you tell me to bring Yvvy to Titan Corporation to talk?â
Terrence was completely confused; he couldnât discern that the man heâd met earlier was Jeremiah.
Xavier couldnât be bothered to explain it to him. âScram!â he commanded coldly.
Terrence lost all his previous bravado and fled.
After he left, Yvette felt a slight pain in her abdomen, possibly due to the stress and physical exertion from earlier.
âXavier, my stomach hurts,â she cried, panic filling her eyes as she clutched Xavierâs shirt.
The pain was secondary; she was terrified something might happen to the baby. She remembered how sheâd almost had a miscarriage and
lost Noah and Zachary
Xavier held her tightly. âTil take you to the hospital right now?
âOkay.â
He quickly called for help, and within a minute, a nearby driver and with a car.
On the way to the hospital, Yvette held onto Xavierâs clothes with one hand, while the other hand gently rested on her stomach. What she let now was the kind of fear only those whoâd experienced pregnancy could
understand.
âBaby, please be okay,â she quietly prayed.
When they finally arrived at the hospital, the doctor gave Yvette a thorough examination. Xavier waited outside, making a call to have someone look into Terrence.
Heâd overheard Terrence telling Yvette that his âbrotherâinâlawâ had asked him to convince her to meet him.
Who could that be besides Jeremiah? What did Jeremiah want with Yvette? Why couldnât Xavier remember anything?
Unfortunately, he still hadnât fully recovered his memory.
Not long after, the investigator called back. âThis afternoon, Terrence went to Titan Corporation to see Jeremiah. Iâm not sure what they discussed, but he was smiling when he left. He drove straight to Sangine County after leaving the office.â
Xavier could somewhat understand what had happened,
At this time, the doctor had finished examining Yvette. It turned out that Yvette was showing signs of a threatened miscarriage but had been saved in time. She needed to take good care of the pregnancy going forward.

After thanking the doctor and getting the medication, Yvette went home with Xavier.
âThank you for today,â she uttered. If Xavier hadnât been there, .e mightâve fallen, and the consequences couldâve been dire.
Xavier felt her hand clutching his coat. He reached out to hold it. âYouâre my wife. You donât have to thank me.â
Yvetteâs hand was enveloped by his warm one. She looked at him for a moment but eventually withdrew her hand.
Once bitten, twice shy. She couldnât bring herself to trust Xavier again.
Xavierâs hand froze in place, and his Adamâs apple bobbed slightly. The car was eerily quiet until they finally reached home.
Yvette helped Xavier out of the car. As they approached the door, she suddenly heard the sound of someone sobbing.
Was someone crying?
Yvette quickly went inside and turned on the light.

Zachary immediately turned the back to her and made sure heâd completely wiped the tears away before he faced her again. âVin not

Zachary quickly changed the subject Mom, where did you and Mr. Xavier go?â
