His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 118

"It's okay, Anne. Ms. Yates is really kind-she won't mind at all. Just relax."

Jasmine reached out to gently pat Anne's head.

Due to chemotherapy, Anne had lost all her hair and always wore a soft pink hat whenever she went out. Jasmine knew how much that hat meant to her-it was a gift from Lucas, and she treasured it deeply.

A wave of sadness tightened Jasmine's chest, and her eyes welled up. Her hand lingered in the air for a moment before it settled on Anne's hat.

"Don't worry, Anne. Ms. Yates will do everything she can to help Lucas."

"Okay." Anne's anxious expression softened, revealing a bright, grateful smile. "Thank you, Ms. Jasmine, and thank you, too, Ms. Yates!"

Listening from the driver's seat, Tessa let out a quiet sigh.

Sometimes, fate felt unbearably cruel.

Why did misfortune always seem to find those who were already suffering?

With her deep empathy for others, Tessa felt her chest tighten as she absorbed Anne's story, her eyes beginning to shimmer with unshed tears.

After taking a deep breath to steady herself, she turned toward the backseat. "Jasmine, could you help Anne with her seatbelt?"

"Of course."
