Chapter 178
Chapter 178 Everything’s in the Past
Afterward, there was a long silence between Idris and I. It was too quiet, and I did not feel like talking,
so I focused solely on driving.
“Is that scar from when you and Lucas fell off the cliff?” He suddenly asked out of the blue. I did not
immediately grasp what he meant and responded instinctively, “Yes, and…?” Realizing what he was
referring to, I frowned instinctively, about to say something, but his deep, cold voice came again. “For
so many years, have I been nothing but a joke to you?”
I pursed my l*ps, remaining silent.
He let out a bitterugh, self–deprecatingly saying, “A mistaken identity, protecting the wrong person,
and then hurting you.”
“Mr. Young,” I began, my voice steady. “Everything’s in the past now. Saving you back then was only
because I couldn’t abandon someone who was in the same abyss as me. I didn’t tell youter because
I felt it was unnecessary. Even if it hadn’t been you that day, it would have been someone else. So, you
don’t owe me anything. Moreover, when the Scott Corporation was in trouble, you and your
grandmother helped us out, solving a critical issue for my father. We don’t owe each other anything.”
Taking a deep breath, I added, “As for the other things, you don’t need to feel indebted either. After all, I
epted the house and the money you gave.”
That unborn child… Perhaps it was best that I miscarried. To say it was not painful would be a lie, but
what was done was done. Whether it was out of spite or revenge, I had acted and now, I had let go.
Holding the steering wheel, I nced at Idris‘ right hand from the corner of my eye. The wound I had
viciously inflicted was now healed, leaving only a pale pink scar where the scab had fallen off.
An unborn child in exchange for his permanently damaged right hand, was perhaps not a fair
exchange.
However, it was all in the past now.
Idris’ expression was somber, devoid of emotion. I did not try to probe his thoughts, nor did I have the
interest to. Whatever he was thinking now, he was now just an insignificant person
to me.
Perhaps not knowing what else to say, Idris remained silent until we reached the hospital.
At the hospital, in the ward, Madam Young had already woken up. Emily was by her bedside, feeding
her some soup. Seeing us, Madam Young beckoned me over, her face warm and kind. ” Yvette, you’re
here. Come, have you had breakfast yet?”
I nodded and looked at her noticeably thinner face. “Grandma, are you feeling better?”
She hummed in affirmation and said with a smile, “Much better. Mr. Zachary told me about that day.
Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise, I might have really gone to meet Sir Young down under.”
I quickly shook my head and said, “Not at all.” Originally, I wanted to offer some blessings,

but since I was not good at pleasantries, I could only utter those few dry words.

Madam Young did not mind. She smiled and chatted with me about other things. Emily brought up the
idea of going to the holiday vi once Madam Young felt better. Madam Young, in a good mood,
immediately nodded in agreement. She looked at me and said, “Yvette, you’ve been quite busytely.
It’s perfect timing. Let’s go together. I’ve heard that the resort Iddy has developed has beautiful scenery
and a pleasant climate. It’s much warmer there than here in Lake City.”
I nodded with a smile, not finding any excuse at that moment.
Perhaps because Madam Young was in good spirits, the atmosphere in the room was cheerful. While
we were chatting, suddenly half an apple appeared in front of me. Instinctively, I paused and looked up.
Facing Idris’s cool expression, he spoke softly. “Try it, it’s sweet.”
His actions and demeanor seemed too natural, and for a moment, I could not find words to refuse. I
epted the apple, and Madam Young, seeing this, smiled with pursed l*ps.
I felt somewhat awkward, but it was not appropriate to say anything.
Fortunately, Liam knocked and entered the room. Seeing everyone there, his gaze fell on Idris and
paused slightly. He seemed to have something to say, but instead, he turned to inquire about Madam
Young’s condition.
Madam Young cheerfully responded and started talking about his daughter.
Liam responded to everything, and after chatting for a bit, he suddenly turned to Idris and said, “Oh, by
the way, Iddy, Mr. Zachary is outside. It seems there’s something urgent. You might want to check on
it.”
Before Idris could respond, Madam Young frowned and asked, “What’s the matter? He’s only been
here for a few minutes, why is there another issue? What can’t Mr. Zachary handle that requires Iddy’s
attention?”
