A Rose 264


    There was only one way to stop Wilson from making these sarcastic remarks.


    Yvette’s beautiful fox–like eyes blinked lightly. Then her pale fingers suddenly grabbed his tie,


    forcing him to lower his head. The next second, she kissed him, silencing all his words.


    Sitting in the driver’s seat, Samuel was stunned by what he saw in the rearview mirror. A moment


    later, he couldn’t help but silently give a thumbs–up in admiration.


    Yvette was so bold!


    Wilson’s body tensed as Yvette’s lips brushed against his. He reached out and pulled her onto his


    lap, deepening the kiss.


    Yvette found herself trapped in his embrace. Her delicate fingers pushed against him in resistance.


    “Stop… We’re going to see Grandmater!”


    “Okay, I won’t kiss you anymore.”


    Wilson knew Yvette was shy, so he refrained from teasing her further. He buried his head in her


    neck, trying to calm the heat Yvette had stirred within him. Hisrge hands held her small waist with


    a fierce grip as if trying to make her a part of him.


    Samuel’s eyes widened in the rearview mirror as a brazen thought struck him.


    Why did it seem like Wilson was Yvette’sp dog?


    As soon as this thought arose, Samuel shuddered in disgust and raised the partition.


    Wilson was the one everyone in Jubilife feared, a real tyrant. How could he possibly be a littlep


    dog?


    Wilson and Yvette were in Martha’s room at the hospital.


    “Grandma, I’lle back in ten days to give you thest acupuncture treatment. Then you can be


    discharged.”


    Yvette retrieved the silver needles and wiped the fine sweat off her forehead. Performing two sets of


    acupuncture the day before and one the next day had taken a great toll on her energy. Her stamina


    was also significantly depleted.


    Hearing that she could be discharged soon, Martha was very pleased. She patted Yvette’s hand


    lovingly.


    “Yvie, thanks to you, I have recovered so quickly!” she eximed. “After taking the medicine you


    prescribed, I no longer have those asional bouts of angina.”


    Yvette’s voice took on a softer tone as she watched Martha’s delight. “Grandma, with your medicine


    and one more acupuncture treatment in ten days, we can finally say goodbye to those chest pains.”


    “Okay! Good!” Martha nodded obediently. “I’ll always follow your advice, Yvie!”


    Samuel was stunned to see her being so obedient. When has Martha ever been thispliant?

    It was clear that Yvette had both Wilson and Marthapletely under her control.


    As this thought urred, Samuel’s eyes lit up. If that was the case, then all he needed to do was to


    please Yvette to avoid being sent to Wakara!


    “Yvie, what happened to your lips-” Martha stopped halfway through her question, and suddenly,


    her eyes


    gleamed with understanding. She looked at Yvette lovingly and covered her mouth, giggling.


    “It’s nothing. 1 get it! I’ve been young and in love too. It’s easy to get carried away by those


    feelings!”


    Even though Wilson had been much more restrained this time, Martha still noticed.


    2/2


    Yvette’s face flushed crimson at Martha’s words. After coaxing Martha to sleep and leaving the


    hospital room, Wilson hugged her.


    “My poor Yvie.”


    Seeing the fatigue in Yvette’s eyes, Wilson’s heart ached. He held her close, trying to offerfort.


    His long fingers, exquisite in their shape, caressed her waist with a tender touch.


    “It’s okay, I’ll be fine after some rest,” Yvette said softly, leaning into his embrace. “Grandma’s


    healthes first.”


    He thought, “I can’t believe how sweet Yvie is…”
