Chapter 165

Suzanne looked toward the door. In a steady voice, she said, “Come in.” The door was pushed open by Amon, who was wearing a suit with thin gray and white stripes. He had a slight and elegant smile on his face. Politely, he asked, “Ms. Yates, are you done with the treatment?”

Suzanne nodded. She turned toward Yasmine and answered, “Yup. I’ve shared the important pointers with Mrs. Stanton. Ring me up promptly if she feels unwell in any way.” As she spoke, she finished packing up her needles.

When Yasmine tried to sit up on the bed, Aaron leaned forward to support her. He looked toward Suzanne and said, “Thank you very much.” From his gaze, Suzanne could tell that he was deeply moved. She could see how much Aaron was in love with Yasmine. It was truly rare to see such pure love in a circle like theirs. Deep down, she felt a little touched too.

She looked away and placed her things in her bag. Courteously, she replied, “No worries. I’m just doing my job.”

Yasmine stared at Suzanne, not knowing what to say. She couldn’t help but give Aaron’s hand a squeeze. The look of delight in Aaron’s eyes intensified when he noticed Yasmine’s awkward reaction. In a gentle tone, he said to Yasmine, “Get to your feet slowly and have a walk around. I’ll hold onto you.”

Having her thoughts interrupted, Yasmine looked back toward Aaron. She nodded and replied, “Okay.” Then, she grabbed his hands and held onto him for support as she got to her feet. Step by step, she moved forward.

After taking a few steps, she realized that the stiffness in her joints had truly disappeared. A gleeful smile spread across her face. “My legs are all good now.”

Aaron was beaming too. He tried releasing his grasp on Yasmine little by little, eventually allowing her to walk on her own. Yasmine took a couple of steps forward. Her steps felt light, and she didn’t have to shuffle bit by bit when she walked on her own. She was brought to tears. She looked back at Aaron and choked out the words, “Aaron, I really am able to move on my own now.”

It was only after experiencing it personally that she knew how terrifying it felt to lose sensation in both legs. Right now, she was filled with bliss after regaining what she thought she had lost for good. Even for someone with such a stubborn personality, Yasmine couldn’t control the excitement within her.

Aaron smiled at her and gave her a firm nod. Feeling excited, the couple embraced.

Suzanne lifted the corners of her lips into a slight smile. She retreated out of the room and closed the door behind her. She figured she should give the couple some space for now. After exiting the room, Suzanne saw that Austin was sitting on the couch in the living room. He was working on his phone. He crossed his long legs while leaning back on the couch. Even though he looked relaxed, he still exuded an air of dominance. He looked reliable, cold, and aloof.

Emmu, whose hair was tied into two buns, was sitting with her legs crossed next to Austin. Her round eyes were fixed on the TV, and she kept grabbing her slightly plump legs. She pulled her pink socks off her feet, then scooted to turn around and shove her socks in Austin’s face. As if she had just made a new discovery, she exclaimed, “Uncle Austin, Uncle Austin, my socks smell really good!”

Suzanne couldn’t help but smile; she was probably the only person who had the guts to do such a thing.

With a droll look in his eyes, Austin sighed and simmered down. He moved Emma’s socks from his face. He was about to lash out at her when he saw the adorable Emma staring at him wide-eyed. He let out a soft sigh. He placed his phone aside and rose to his feet. He wrapped his hands around Emma’s feet and warned her in a low voice, “Don’t remove your socks.” As someone who radiated an air of dominance, his tone frightened Emma.

In that instant, Emma pouted. Sadness came across her face as she covered her face and started crying. “Uncle Austin is a bad man! Uncle Austin is such a mean man!”
