Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Chapter 477

Yvette kept her eyes half-lowered as she stared at the three people in front of her, her gaze settling on Jeremiah. Her sharp eyes narrowed, the chill deepening in her gaze. Seeing Yvette like this, Rodney immediately stiffened. He knew this was the sign of her anger. Yvette didn't lose her temper easily, so Rodney could tell Jeremiah mattered to her. Emmett rubbed his nose awkwardly, Jeremiah had pulled this stunt, but he really hoped Yvette wouldn't actually be mad because if she was, Jeremiah would suffer. Yvette watched Emmett's subtle gesture, raising an eyebrow. Her eyes were as dark as the night. "Come in" she said, turning on her heel and heading toward the room.

Seeing how distant Yvette was, Emmett's anxiety grew. He thought, 'Could she have figured something out? That shouldn't be possible. Even the world's top doctors wouldn't be able to notice anything without feeling Jeremiah's pulse, right?

Emmett and Rodney hurriedly helped Jeremiah onto the bed, then stood obediently to one side. Yvette sat down on the chair, her expression indifferent as she placed her hand on Jeremiah's wrist to feel his pulse. It was weak, indeed the pulse of someone dying. Samantha, Charles, and Eagle King also stepped forward, their eyes widening as they took in the sight of Jeremiah lying on the bed, all clearly shocked.

Eagle King changed into a pair of blue shorts, his usual casual demeanor replaced by a rare seriousness as he looked at the barely conscious Jeremiah on the bed. "What happened in the last half hour? Rodney, how did this happen to Jeremiah? Samantha's face was equally solemn. She knew that if something really happened to Jeremiah, it would be a disaster.

Rodney raised his head, his gaze shifting between the people in front of him and Yvette who was still checking Jeremiah's pulse with a neutral expression.

He anxiously explained, "I swear I don't know how he ended up like this. I just bumped into him, and he fainted! I didn't do anything else. I had no idea Mr. Chavez was so fragile. If I had, I would've been more careful,"

Rodney was frustrated as he spoke. After all, no one would have guessed that someone who looked as tough as Jeremiah turned out to be so weak.

It wasn't just Rodney-Charles, Eagle King, and Samantha were all equally shocked. If what Rodney said was true, that he merely bumped into Jeremiah and he collapsed, that would be ridiculous.

Emmett, overhearing Rodney's description of Jeremiah, was dumbfounded. He thought, 'Fragile? I couldn't imagine that anyone would describe Jeremiah that way."

Eagle King and the others still weren't fully convinced by Rodney's explanation. Between the fact that Jeremiah had collapsed from a mere bump and the possibility that Rodney was lying, they were more inclined to believe that Rodney was hiding something. Eagle King knew how much Jeremiah meant to Yvette. With a serious tone, he stared at Rodney and said, "This isn't the time to lie. What exactly did you do? Tell us the truth."

Rodney immediately shook his head, his expression desperate. I'm telling the truth! I swear, if I'm lying, may Yvette never speak to me again for the rest of my life."

Seeing Rodney swear on Yvette, Eagle King was sure that he wasn't lying, but the situation was still bizarre. From the moment he first met Jeremiah, he knew his ancient combat power was profound. He couldn't possibly pass out from a simple bump. 20:07
