    Chapter 58


    58 More trouble than she’d expect


    Jeslyn suddenly felt excitement coursing through her the moment the person appeared and without


    further thought, she took the first step to run into his arms, but before she could take the third step, she


    was yanked out of the tank by the stretchy hand. 1


    Jeslyn jerked awake on her bed with sweat all over her. She looked around at the people surrounding


    her bed.


    Both familiar and unfamiliar faces.


    “Y-Yellow?” She asked in doubt, but her voice was almost inaudible.


    “Good you are awake. You should rx for a while before eating something. Your treatment will


    Jeslyn turned in the direction of the calm voice and saw it belonged to a young handsome man with


    white hair.


    From his words, Jeslyn could tell he is a doctor.


    She shook her head, “I’m fine doctor, it’s a normal urrence.”


    Nightmares of her walking or running in darkness have always visited her once in blue moons ever


    since she was 16 years old. Her family had tried all they could. Even the best doctors they knew of in


    Country A couldn’t do much to help her.


    Therapies and all the stimtion or whatever she went through, failed. So she believed that this doctor


    would also find nothing.


    Matt said curtly, “Your sickness needs to be treated, or else you won’t-”


    “You should get things ready for her treatment. You’re talking too much.”


    The sound of footsteps could be heard from the door after that and a few secondster, Maverick


    walked into the room wearing all ck… like always.


    “Boss,” Yellow greeted with her head bowed.


    “You are early,” Matt said.


    Maverick stared at the pale-looking Jeslyn with chapped lips for a brief moment before he turned to


    face Matt, e with me,” he notified.


    Before he turned, he nced sideways at Yellow, “get her something to eat.”


    “Yes, boss,” Yellow responded while still bowing until the two men left.


    “Older sister, Yellow,” Jeslyn tried to smile but her lips wouldn’t stretch to her desired length.


    “Hey, don’t smile yet. I bet you’ll start crying after knowing what you


    Jeslyn’s smile instantly evaporated. “What are you talking about?”


    did.”


    Yellow sighed before she walked towards Jeslyn’s bed. She picked up a telephone that wasn’t there


    before and dialed a number.


    “Butler, get the kitchen to prepare something healthy and light for your madam. It should be ready


    before…” she nced at her wristwatch, “…30 minutes.”


    She dropped the telephone once she was done and sat on the bed beside Jeslyn.


    “Little Bunny, how did you manage to get here?” Yellow asked while staring at Jeslyn’s face.


    Her usual yful air was gone and her multi-colored hair with Yellow outline that she had always left


    messily on her head wasbed and trimmed into a bob, resting below her earlobe.


    She looked like a stone-faced businesswoman facing her rival.


    Jeslyn wasn’t liking this new personality so she turned her face away and sighed.


    “You face… Ahem!” She cleared her throat. Her throat was dry and her sweet voice felt weird.


    Yellow turned and poured out water into a ss then handed it to Jeslyn.


    “Thank you,” she received the ss cup, and the minute the water got onto her tongue, she almost


    spat it out but Yellow stopped her.


    Jeslyn swallowed before she looked pitifully at Yellow, “it’s hot.” 1


    “That’s right, your voice needs warm water…” she raised her hand to stop Jeslyn from protesting.


    “Drink it all and don’t say anything.”


    Jeslyn pouted and obediently finished the warm water. She felt the inside of her body warming up and


    her sore throat getting relief.


    “You were saying something,” Yellow reminded her.


    Jeslyn nodded, she wanted toin about Yellow’s new persona but decided against it, so she


    shook her head, “don’t bother.”


    “Still as confused as ever,” Yellow said with her eyes smiling but on her ck-painted lips was a cold


    sneer.


    “Hey, don’t sneer at me like that,” Jeslyn smacked her hand yfully.


    Yellow didn’tugh as she would have, but the wicked air around her diminished.


    “How did you bring yourself here, little Bunny?”


    Jeslyn sighed. She understood that the country wasn’t for people like her, but what can she do?


    “Do you know the man you married?” Yellow asked.


    Jeslyn nodded. “He’s Maverick Lu,” she said with confidence.


    “Just that?” Yellow asked, a little perplexed.

    “Yes.” Jeslyn looked at Yellow and thought for a while before she asked. “Or does he have another


    identity?”


    Yellow curled her lips into a wicked smile and responded, “why should I tell you? It’s a price to pay for


    your stupidity.”


    Jeslyn sighed and rested her back on the headboard. “I thought you were a little nicer than older sister


    Pink.”

    “Certainly I am,” Yellow immediately answered.


    “But, Older sister Pink wouldn’t do this to me,” Jeslyn said with conviction.


    Yellow suddenly burst out into a puddle ofughter, surprising Jeslyn and also making her smile.


    ‘Good that she smiled, Jelsyn thought.


    “Guess why Pink isn’t here,” Yellow said with a yful smirk.


    “She must be busy…”


    Yellow shook her head. Your older sister Pink is more upset at you than I am. She doesn’t know how to


    face you. Pink had promised to… Let it be.”


    Jeslyn didn’t know what to feel at the moment. Her emotions gotplicated.


    Yeah, they are right to be angry at her. Maverick had made her believe that he wasn’t the regr guy,


    but her desperation didn’t let her focus on what was in front of her.


    She sighed in resignation and held Yellow hands in hers, ” Older sister, don’t worry, it’s only for a year.


    We signed a contract to get a divorce after a year and we can return to our lives. In addition, I can


    pursue my career and my revenge after a year’s break.”


    Yellow looked at her with pity in her eyes. If only Jeslyn knows that getting a divorce would make her


    alreadyplicated life even more problematic.
