The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 27

Walter slightly raised his chin. While talking, they had arrived at the elevator. Brian pressed the up button for all eight elevators, but since they were in a hospital, Walter didn't use any privileges. They waited just like other patients. Meanwhile, in the nephrology department, Yvette emerged from the examination room, her face pale. Jessie

rushed to her side, gripping her arm tightly with concern. In a tone only the two of them could understand, she asked, "Did the exam go well?" Yvette nodded slightly. Jessie breathed a sigh of relief, but Yvette had already shifted her attention to Rebecca and the others, walking toward them..

Seeing

her r hands empty, Jessie's mind wandered to the earlier encounter with Shakira downstairs, recalling the hurtful words that had stung her deeply. Yvene had been calling Rebecca "mom," and had grown closer to her, closer than she had ever been to Jessie. Jessie felt bitter. But she could do nothing. After all, she couldn't afford to offend the Nelson family. what's wrong? Why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?" Rebecca asked with concern. Of course.

Yvette,

"Mom, I'm fine. It's just that every time I go in for a checkup, I can't help but think about not having a kidney donor for the surgery, and it makes me... a little scared, answered Yvette.

Rebecca immediately scolded her in a low voice, "Nonsense, Finn will have good news soon. Don't think too much about it." Hearing this, Yvette shook her head, a smile slowly spreading across her face as she replied in a gentle voice, "Actually, the reason I agree to Dr. Lonely Bird's checkup isn't just so Felix could have a chance to collaborate with her. I also don't want to distract Finn. He's already busy enough managing the company. Besides, if I don't need a kidney transplant, things will be easier for Shakira, too. There won't be any more tension in the family because of my illness. If I can just make it through this, everything will get better, won't it?" Rebecca was deeply moved by her words. She felt an overwhelming sense of guilt toward Yvette, thinking that she was a selfless child, who always thought of the family first, always willing to sacrifice for them, and never once considering how much pain or hardship she had endu had endured. Mitchell, who had remained silent, furrowed his brow slightly. For some reason, hearing Yvette mention Shakira gave him an odd feeling. Something about it didn't sit right, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Just then, Yvette spoke softly again, "You've given me such a privileged life. I've been loved and cherished since my childhood. Now it's my turn to give back to the family. Even if one day I'm no longer with you all, I won't have any regrets..." Rebecca, overwhelmed with emotion, stepped forward and hugged Yvette tightly. "You silly girl, you'll always be my precious daughter, the darling of our entire family. Nothing, and no one, will ever change that When Shakira arrived, she caught sight of Rebecca hugging Yvette. Her heart remained unaffected, but her gaze toward Yvette was sharp, filled with an ice-cold chill. Just as Sha as Shakira was about to approach, Paul appeared out of nowhere, holding Yvette's test results in hand, adopting a highly professional tone. "Ms. Nelson's condition has worsened slightly compared to before. There's been a mild increase in inflammation in the kidneys, and I her blood test shows she's weak, with a low white blood cell count. She'll need to be mindful of her emotions and ensure a proper rest schedule." Hearing this, Shakira's lips curled into a sneer beneath her mask-biting and filled with scorn. She knew Paul was lying. Yvette didn't have any illness. Her kidney function was perfectly normal. She didn't need any treatment at all Chapter 27
