The wind was strong outside, and the tree outside was covered in so much snow that it was bending to one side. When the nurse brought Yvette her dinner, she didn’t have much appetite and only took a few bites.
Shannon suddenly came and said nothing as she closed the curtains. Compared to how glorious she had looked before, she looked extra miserable and pale at that moment. There was a deafening silence in the ward.
Shannon turned around to look at Yvette and went straight to the point. “The baby you’re carrying belongs to Xavier, right?”
The latter instinctively lied, “No.”
Shannon narrowed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. “You don’t have to lie. I know you were with Xav when you got pregnant.”
“Were you watching over us during the night as well?” Yvette asked.
Shannon was stunned into silence. Xavier wasn’t awake yet, and Yvette was saying that the child wasn’t his.
Shannon wondered if someone else was really going to inherit the Lane family’s assets. She wouldn’t allow it to happen!
“Yvvy.” She spoke softly as she walked to Yvette’s bed. “I know I was harsh with you in the past. However, if you lie to me because of this, you’ll be taking it too far. It’s not up to you to decide if the child is our family’s kid.”
Yvette knew Shannon liked to be in control. If the latter knew the truth, she wouldn’t be able to get the child back after giving birth.
“Madam Shannon, I’ve already made it clear to you. If you still don’t believe me, you can ask your son about it.”
Shannon froze. When she heard Yvette mention Xavier, her eyes turned red. “How dare you mention Xav? Don’t you know he’s still in the ICU after trying to save you? The doctor also said that his eyes had been destroyed by glass shards.” (1
Both of his eyes had been pierced by glass shards, and they couldn’t be saved anymore. Yvette looked at
her in shock. She was in disbelief.
“What?”
“The doctor said that even if Xav can wake up, he’ll be blind!” Shannon clenched her fists.
Her impressive son had been destroyed just like that. Since Xavier had become blind, she didn’t know who she could rely on next.
Yvette had never expected a person who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth to actually turn blind! She wondered what would happen if a proud man like him became blind.
Other than being tricked into marriage, she knew the other reason he didn’t like her before was because she was hearing-impaired.

As a result, she had been mocked by many wealthy people, and Xavier had dreaded taking her to various events. Now, his eyes were destroyed.
Shannon could tell from Yvette’s eyes that she wasn’t as cruel as she looked.
“Yvette, Xav told me you were the one who saved me in the past. At first, I didn’t believe him. Then, I got someone to look into it.
“It turned out that I was blind and had misunderstood my savior. So, I’ll apologize to you right now!
“Xav has paid for my sins by saving you this time. However, you shouldn’t be ungrateful!”
She kept staring at Yvette as she slowly asked, “Can you tell me the truth now? Who is the father of the baby in your belly?”
Fathe
Shannon had thought about it. If Yvette admitted that the child belonged to Xavier, she would do her best to raise the child and let the child inherit Xavier’s place Yvette stayed quiet for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, someone knocked on the door in a hurry.
After Shannon opened the door, Yvette heard the nurse say in the distance, “Madam Shannon, Mr. Lane is awake.”
