Chapter 15 Yolanda took a deep breath , her expression hardening . " I'm not pregnant . No need to go to the hospital . " Charles's stare cut through the air , icy enough to make the temperature drop . Yolanda suddenly realized - she'd never really known him at all . " Whether you go to the hospital isn't your call , " Charles said , getting in the car first . E10 vouchers Yolanda stood there silently . For a moment , she felt like the ache was not in her stomach but buried deep in her chest . Years of love didn't simply disappear , not even after seeing the painful truth . She slid into the car , her face ashen , and leaned back with her eyes shut . Jack kept driving . Without Charles saying a word , he steered toward the hospital . Yolanda had figured the checkup would be fine , nothing special - then her phone buzzed . Ian's name flashed across the screen . He said , " Megan was in a car crash . She's at the hospital , and her husband , Henry , is flipping out , yelling about needing to see you . " ' Megan ? In an accident ? She was fine that morning . Yolanda's heart raced as she blurted out , " Is she okay ? Are you hurt ? " " I wasn't there . She called me , and now she's unconscious in surgery , " Ian said . He hesitated , then added , " And Henry's a gambler . " " The same hospital as this morning ? I'm on my way . " Yolanda hung up and turned to Charles . " I need to go to Beloris Hospital . My friend was in an accident . " The hospital Charles was taking her to was funded by the Sinclair family - miles from Beloris Hospital . Charles stared down at the papers , slowly turning the pages . A sardonic gleam flickered in his eyes . Yolanda's face went even paler . She could read it in his eyes - he thought she'd just made the whole thing up . Still , she began , " I'm not pregnant . I'll show you the test results tomorrow . But I have to get to the hospital right now . My friend's in critical condition . She's my business partner , and she- " Charles cut her off , voice icy . " What's that got to do with me ? " His coldness cut deeper tonight , revealing a side of him she'd never seen before . Now , she finally understood how heartless he truly was . ' Right . If he had a heart , he wouldn't have married me , slipped into my bed , then gone straight to someone else without blinking , She sneered silently , wrenching the car door open . Shocked , Jack slammed on the brakes . " Mrs. Sinclair , that's way too dangerous ! " Yolanda hit the ground with a thud . Her ankle screamed in pain , and she knew it was going to swell up badly . " Mrs. Sinclair ! " Jack called , but Yolanda didn't look back . She just limped away . Charles sat in the car , his eyes razor - sharp and his mouth pressed into a thin , hard line . Cold fury radiated from him . Jack shifted uncomfortably , picking his words carefully . " Mr. Sinclair , maybe we should- " Charles slammed the door shut , his face dark . " Leave her . " Jack went silent . He shifted the car into drive and pulled away . Yolanda kept walking , her ankle throbbing . Blinding headlights suddenly cut through the dark , and an oncoming car swerved , barely missing her . She froze . The window rolled down , and a guy yelled , " What's wrong with you ? Wanna die ? Fine , but don't take me with you ! " The window snapped shut , and the car peeled off , tires screeching . A chill ran through Yolanda . She touched her cheek and found tears on her fingertips . She quickly wiped them away , resolve hardening in her eyes . She wouldn't shed another tear over Charles - not worth it . She'd only end 1/2 2/2 Chapter 13 up despising herself if she did . E10 vouchers Yolanda walked for half an hour , ignoring the burn in her leg . When she finally reached the hospital entrance , she saw Ian standing there . He was tall , masked and hat pulled low , blending into the night . But even so , people passing by couldn't help glancing back . He looked up , spotted her , and hurried over . " M - Ms . Grant . " Yolanda paused , realizing Ian had never called her by name earlier . " Just use my name ," she said quietly . " How's Megan ? " lan's eyes dropped to her stiff leg . " You hurt ? " " It's nothing . Is Henry still causing a scene ? " Ian lowered his lashes , his voice quiet . " Yeah . The hospital called security , and he started fighting them . " Yolanda felt a twist of guilt - she'd failed as a boss , even more as a friend . She knew Megan was married , but she'd never bothered to ask about her marriage . She pushed through the pain and kept walking . Outside the ER . Henry's angry yell cut through the air . " That witch better die in there . Won't give me money when I ask , huh ? Serves her right ! " Yolanda's face hardened . Noticing that Ian was about to move , she quickly seized his arm . He glanced at her small hand gripping his sleeves . His lashes flustered , and he looked away . Yolanda stood there , watching as security dragged Henry off - looked like they'd toss him out . She then turned back at lan and said , " Stay out of this kind of drama no matter what . You've got fans now . People could dig up dirt on you . " If you ever make it big , this could become a major scandal . Get labeled as a troublemaker , and you'll never shake that reputation . " Ian hesitated . " But- " Yolanda cut him off , " No buts . I'm the one handling your career , so you listen . " Her eyes were bright , her lashes still damp from tears she'd shed not long ago . Now , her expression was nothing but pure determination . With that , she turned the corner and walked up to the security guards . Henry , still struggling to break free , spotted her and his eyes lit up . ' Wow , she's gorgeous , ' he thought to himself . Yolanda ignored him , speaking politely to the guards . " Please get him out of here . " Henry let out a sneer , his face twisting with bitterness . " You're Megan's boss , right ? She bragged her boss was a pretty piece . Guess you funded that studio on your back , huh ? No real boss looks like a freaking temptress ." D
