"I've never heard him say he regained his memory. I asked him just a few days ago; he said he hadn't." Yvette murmured, speaking to Jeremiah as much as to herself.

Since she was pregnant, she couldn't afford to let her emotions get the best of her. She took deep breaths to calm herself.

"It's fine; I've just been deceived again. That's all." Yvette repeatedly reassured herself in her mind. "It's okay. Don't be angry. Don't be sad. It's okay. This might be better. This way, I can completely free myself from him." When Jeremiah noticed her reaction, he reached out to hold her hand. "It's okay. You have me."

Yvette was startled. She looked at the hand Jeremiah was holding, but at that moment, she pulled away. Xavier had made mistakes; she couldn't be wrong as well.

"Jeremiah, you're Zoey's fiancé." She reminded him.

Jeremiah's free hand tensed, and a flicker of discomfort crossed his face.

He then said gently, "You misunderstood me. I meant that I'll stand by your side. After all, we're still friends, aren't we? Don't worry. If Xav's done something wrong, I won't side with him."
