Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 113 Seeing that Keyla was on the verge of tears, Yvette couldnât help but feel surprised. âWhatâs going on? Take your time and explain.â
âYvette, itâs like this... remember when I accidentally stepped on your foot that day?â Keyla hesitated for a moment before she started explaining the business trouble with the Gibson family.
âMr. Flynn is doing this to get back at you. Can you talk to him for me? Ask him to let my family off the hook, please?â she added.
Yvette was stunned. Josiah was actually making things difficult for the Gibson family.
Keyla thought it was because of her, but Yvette had a feeling that wasnât quite right.
Yvette kept her face expressionless. âYouâre overthinking this, Josiah is never one to mix business with personal matters.
âThis is just part of the business arrangement, and it has nothing to do with you. If youâre looking for answers, you should look at your father and brothers.â
âReally?â Keyla frowned, still not quite convinced.
âReally.â Yvette nodded. âI know him well.â
âIs that so?â Keyla seemed a little lost, unsure what to think. âIs it really not my fault âYes, really,â Yvette reassured her. âDonât take the blame for something thatâs not your fault. How to handle this situation is not something you need to worry about.â
âYeah, youâre right,â Keyla murmured, clearly persuaded. âI understand now.â
After seeing Keyla off, Yvetteâs expression darkened. She thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and called Josiah âHey, Yvette?â Josiah sounded a little distracted. âWhatâs up? Iâve got to wrap this up soon, so make it quick.â
âAlright.â Yvette didnât beat around the bush. âWhatâs going on with the Gibson family? What did you mean by that?â
Josiah was surprised. âHow did you find out about this?â
âKeyla came to me for help. Yvette sighed, a bit helpless. âSheâs just a kid. Why are you making trouble for her, Josiah? Canât you just let it go?â
Josiah paused for a moment before firmly declining. âSorry, Yvette, I canât do thatâ
âWhy not?â Yvette was taken aback, her anger rising. âIs this about Siennal Josiah didnât answer.
âHumph.â Yvette sneered. âSo thatâs it? Just because Keyla said some harsh words about her? Youâre going to make her pay for Yes To her surprise, Josiah interrupted her and admitted it.
Yvelle was stunned for a moment. âYouâ
âYvette,â Josiah sighed deeply, his voice heavy. âThe things Keyla said about Sienna were all because of me. Iâve been standing up for Sienna, shouldnât I?â
1/3 20:48 Mon, Jan Chapter 113 âYou... you... Yvette was too docked to form a coherent response âIâm busy right now. I have to go.â And with that, he hung up.
Yvette stared at her phone, a sharp pain throbbing in her head. She chuckled bitterly. âHumph. So now youâre regretting it?â
No one would have thought that Josiah would ever feel regret. Because he hadnât treated Sienna well enough, he now regretted it.
âBut what good is regret? she wondered. Yvette didnât understand Regret was called regret because it came from the past. It was useless, so it was what made it regretful.
Downstairs, Cedric opened the car door and helped Sienna out.
âThanks.â She smiled..
âYouâre welcome,â said Cedric.
Because of Sienna, Cedric hadnât been able to visit Howard last me. They had made plans to come together today.
When they arrived at the hospital room, Howard had just woken up from his nap, and Yvette was helping him drink some water. Since Howard still had difficulty swallowing, some of the water spilled from the corner of his mouth, wetting his clothes.
Howard furrowed his brows, his face pale.
Itâs okay. Yvelles immediately stood up, grabbing a towel to wipe him off. âDo you still want to drink some more?â
Howard shook his head, unwilling to drink anymore.
âJust wait a minute.â Yvette turned and went to the wardrobe to grab a clean shirt. She returned, adjusted the bed to raise the head, and then began unbuttoning Howardâs shirt.
She explained as she worked, âWearing wet clothes isnât comfortable. Letâs get you into something clean She didnât call for a caregiver. Instead, she carefully removed his damp clothes and replaced them with a fresh shirt. After slipping one sleeve on, she moved behind Howard, sliding her hands under his armpits and fastening the shirt around his back. âOne, two, three...â
With a deep breath, she lifted him into a sitting position, using the opportunity to smooth the shirt down his back, then helped him lie back down and slipped the second sleeve on.
âThere we go,â Yvette said after finishing. Her face was flushed from the effort.
As she fastened the buttons, she continued, âI know you donât like the caregivers seeing you like this, but itâs fine in front of me, right? See? I can do it all by myself.â
Howard lowered his gaze and watched her silently.
Outside the door, Sienna had witnessed the entire scene. Her womanâs intuition told her that Yvetteâs feelings for Howard were real. She truly liked him, Then, Sienna couldnât understand why Yvette harmed her back then.
The child was Howardâs. If he didnât wake up, that child would be the only thing Howard left behind for Yvette.
Would Yvette really sacrifice their child just to hurt me? Sienna wondered. That doesnât seem to make sense, does it?
âThey seem to be okay now.â Cedric raised his hand and knocked on the door.
2/3 Chapter 113 âCome in,â Yvette said.
âSienna, letâs go in, Cedrie said.
âOkay.â Sienna replied.

They entered the room, where Yvette was sitting by the bed, trimning Howardâs nails. She looked up at them. âCame to see Howard? Youâre lucky, he just woke up. Go ahead and sit.â
She pointed to the chairs across from her.
Thanks. Cedric nodded and set down the things he brought.
Sienna carefully studied Howard. To be fair, he looked much better than the last time she saw him. His hair was neatly done, and his stubble had been shaved clean She glanced at his hands. His nails were neatly trimmed. Yvette finished with his nails, then took out some hand cream and started rubbing it into his hands. Their fingers intertwined as she worked, She smiled at Howard. âYour hands shouldnât be so dry now. Does that feel better?â
Howard blinked as if to say he agreed.
Sienna furrowed her brow. The feeling she had earlier only grew stronger. To take such meticulous care of someone. without love, was impossible.
Moreover, the Flynn family had hired a caregiver, yet Yvette was doing everything herself.

ï¤Chapter 1750 Howardâs throat made a muffled sound as he looked at Sienna.
âDonât rush.â Yvette immediately said, trying to reassure him. âSiennaâs here to see you. Sheâll be back to visit often. You know youâve got so much to say once youâre better, donât you, Sienna:
âYeah.â Sienna agreed with a rare smile, nodding. âHoward, Iâll come by whenever I can. Just donât get tired of me, alright?â
âHoward Cedric came over after putting his things away. âItâs me too. Iâve come to see you. You probably donât remember me, but Iâm Cedric, Yosefâs cousin.â
Howard looked at him blankly.
âHey,â Yvette waved her hand in a playful manner. âJust tell him youâre Siennaâs boyfriend, and heâll remember you.â
