Chapter 119
She was just a teacher who worked as a psychology consultant at Aurelith University after her divorce.
Suddenly, she laughed at herself, wondering when she had becso insecure. She used to be confident and
vibrant, just like Yoselin, but now...
Yonas sat down and placed the apple back in her hand, looking into her eyes with a serious expression. He spoke
each word slowly. "This isn't a game. I'm serious. | thought you could feel that."
His gaze was intense, almost burning her with its heat. "Yasmine, tell me, what kind of person do you think you
are?"
Yasmine was at a loss for words. "I..."
"What kind of person are you?" Yonas continued to stare at her, his eyes so piercing.
"Just like Xavier's mother said, a divorced woman with a tarnished reputation, Yasmine scoffed bitterly.
But Yonas shook his head, his eyes now cold and unyielding. His pupils seemed to lock onto hers. "Do you accept
that?"
Accept it? Why should I? Xavier is the one with a tarnished reputation, Yasmine's thoughts raced. The world was
always. harsher on women, and divorced women faced more discrimination than men. When Selena said those
words, Yasmine wanted to retort and ask why she would be so mean to a woman like her. "Of course not,"
Yasmine replied, pressing her lips.
Yonas's gaze softened. This was the Yasmine he knew. "Yasmine. I've never wanted to just play around with you.
I'm serious."
Yasmine's heart was in turmoil, but she didn't know how to respond. She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet
his gaze.
"Look at me," Yonas said, lifting her chin and locking eyes with her as she tried to avoid his gaze.
Yasmine's eyelashes trembled as she met his eyes. "I misspoke," she admitted. She realized that her
impulsiveness had led her to say something she shouldn't have. Even if Yonas were just playing, he had helped
her so many times, and she shouldn't have said such words. And if he truly meant what he said, she definitely
shouldn't have responded that way.
"You still don't believe that I really like you. What about you?" Yonas asked.
Yasmine's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how to respond. Should | say yes or no? How can | lie to
myself?’ she wondered. "I... | don't know," she stammered, unsure if she should admit her feelings or deny them.
Yonas smiled faintly. "How about | help you figure it out?"
"Figure it out?" Yasmine looked at Yonas in confusion.
As Yonas's handsface slowly drew closer, his lips brushing against hers, Yasmine felt her breath catch and
her heart pound, yet she had no desire to push him away.
Yonas lifted his head again and asked, "Do you understand now? He didn't spell it out, and Yasmine didn't want
to either, but her heart was racing faster and faster. She understood now. Only with someone you like would you

Yonas didn't push her to admit anything further. Instead, that evening, he brought a pot of freshly cooked
oatmeal. "I made this myself. You have to finish it."
Yasmine looked at the porridge with anticipation and took a sip. Along with the diced mushrooms, there was a
faint aroma of ganoderma. "Thank you," she said.

Chapter 119
Yonas must have been quite busy, yet he was still taking such careful care of her while she was sick. But Yasmine
didn't think she was a child who needed constant attention. "Don't you have work to do? | can take care of
myself," Yasmine said seriously. Yonas had just finished sending an email. "What do you think | spend so much
money hiring them for? It's not to let them sit around doing nothing"
Just then, his phone rang. After listening for a few seconds, Yonas gave a meaningful smile and put the call on
speaker, placing the phone next to Yasmine.
"Is Yasmine feeling better? Can | go see her? I've been staying at hjust to give you two sspace, but I'm
really worried about her. Yonas, you're so dumb! It's been so long, and you still haven't won her over. Now that
she's sick, you'd better make a good impression. Yoselin's voice cthrough the speaker. "Um, Yoselin..."
Yasmine said awkwardly.
The voice on the other end abruptly stopped, and the call was quickly hung up. A few seconds later, Yasmine's
phone rang "Yasmine, are you feeling better? | was just joking earlier. Don't take it seriously," Yoselin said timidly.
Yasmine chuckled softly. I'm much better now. The fever's gone.
"That's good to hear. I'll hang up now, Yoselin responded.
After the IV drip was finished and she had finished her oatmeal, Yasmine took a nap. When she woke up, she
found Yonas resting his chin on his hand, dozing off. He had brought her to the hospital early in the morning
yesterday and had stayed by her side for so long. He must have been utterly exhausted.
His sleeping face lost much of its sharpness, appearing softer and more gentle. His eyelashes were thick and
long, and she couldn't resist reaching out to touch them. They felt very soft. Her hand then moved to his nose,
his cheek, and finally to his lips that had kissed her several times. That night, when he placed his hand on her
lips, she had wanted to do this.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. She tried to pull her hand back, but he caught it. Her breathing quickened.
"Weren't you asleep?"
"I sleep lightly," he replied. He had woken up as soon as she opened her eyes. He just wanted to see what she
would do. Yasmine pulled her hand back and turned over, pulling the covers up and going back to sleep.
Meanwhile, at the police station, Louise, who had previously insisted that Helen had instigated her, suddenly
changed her story. Now, she claimed that Yasmine had bribed her into committing the crime. With no concrete
evidence to prove Helen's involvement, Yonas released a recording from that day. However, Louise immediately
changed her story again, saying that Yonas had forced her into it.
Of course, Selena was delighted. She believed that Yvette had persuaded Xavier and even gifted her a gold
bracelet in thanks.
However, Yvette soon noticed that

Back home, Yasmine relaxed on the sofa, finally free from the lingering smell of disinfectant. "This feels so good,"
she sighed with relief.

Yonas placed her medication on the table. "Don't forget to take your medicine. He was about to leave but
hesitated. The memory of the late-night call he had received made him worry Yasmine, I'm really worried about
you.
Yasmine felt a moment of daze. The last person who had expressed concern for her like this was Yonelin and
Lucy. And before them, her father.
"Don't worry. If anything happens, I'll call you right away." She rally realized what it felt like to have someone to
rely on.
"You can calleven if nothing's wrong," Yonas said, giving her gentle look before turning to leave. His
expression grew serious as he answered a phone call. "Hello? When will you be back?" the person on the other
end of the call asked.
He replied, "Half an hour."
