1/2

The moment Yvette walked out of the police station, she spotted a man with a cool and dignified air about him standing not far off.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Yvie..." Spotting Yvette, Wilson immediately strode over to her. His large hands held onto hers tightly. There was a rarely-seen fear in his eyes. It was fortunate that nothing happened to her.

Yvette could tell from his expression that he had heard about everything that had happened. She comforted him in a soothing voice. "I'm alright, no need to worry."

Wilson stroked her head tenderly. Then his voice turned cold. "Who is responsible for all this?"

He wasn't going to let a single person escape for daring to hurt her!

Yvette pursed her lips lightly. "Alice confessed. She said the poison was given to her by Lionel. "Lionel?" Wilson's eyes shone with murderous intent. It was strong enough to send shivers up one's spine. "How dare he do something like this."

Yvette eyed the fuming man. She took the initiative to hold his hand, silently soothing him.

. Wilson had also become aware that he had lost his cool. "Where is Lionel now?" he asked.

Samuel, who was trying to hold back his fear, answered respectfully from the side. "Mr. Wilson, Lionel is currently recuperating in the hospital."

The last time Wilson had gotten angry, he had sent Lionel to the dungeon to receive punishment. The man had suffered severe injuries and nearly lost his life. He had been

recovering in the hospital since then and had yet to be discharged.

“Let's go to the hospital first," Yvette said immediately upon hearing this.

Somehow, she had the feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed. She had to investigate further.

Wilson had originally been planning to just toss Lionel into the dungeon and let him suffer a fate worse than death. A quick death was too merciful for someone who had dared to lay a

hand on Yvette.

But the

person in question had her own ideas, it seemed.

"Alright,” he said in a low voice, nodding agreeably.

Half an hour later, a black Rolls-Royce pulled to a stop at the entrance of the hospital.

Just as Yvette and the men with her walked into the ward, they heard the sounds of a Chapter 544

conversation coming from within.

"Ms. Olson, thank you for coming to see me every now and then..."

Lionel's eyes were fixed intensely on Victoria. He suppressed the deep affection he held for her with everything he had, not daring to let it show on his face.

“No need to be so polite with me! When I was sick, you were always by my side too," Victoria said gently.

"When I was receiving treatment overseas, everything was unfamiliar to me and I had nobody for company. You were always with me then. We've simply swapped roles!"

Lionel's gaze softened at her words.

Victoria was such a kind and great person. He had to make sure she would always be happy. No harm could be allowed to come to her!

Victoria smiled sweetly at him, unaware of his thoughts. "Lionel, I hope you get well soon! Then you'll be able to stay by my side and protect me again. I haven't been able to get used to not having you around while you've been in the hospital!"

Before Lionel could reply, the door to the ward was pushed open.

When he saw Yvette striding into the room, the gentleness in his eyes vanished completely. It was instead replaced by cold hostility. "Why are you here?"
