Chapter22 She felt alarmed . Vicente's wavering attitude was a bad sign . Sylvia couldn't allow this . She bit her lower lip before speaking softly , " I've troubled everyone with my problems today . I can take care of myself now . You guys should go home and rest . " Braylon nodded . " It's late . There are two nurses outside if you need . anything . Call us if anything comes up . " After a few more instructions , he left with Belinda . Nielsen and Jennifer exchanged a glance with Sylvia , signaling they'd talk later . One by one , they left the hospital room , with Vicente being the last to go . Sylvia softly called out , " Vicente . " He hesitated before approaching , crouching slightly beside her bed . " Sylvia , focus on recovering . " Her voice wavered uncertainly . " Vicente … you're upset with me , aren't you ? " " Of course not , " he replied . " I'm happier than anyone that you're okay . " " But today , you kept defending Yesenia . " " But today you kept defending Yesenia , " Sylvia blurted out her grievance . Vicente hadn't expected this . Instinctively , he denied it , " I wasn't taking her side ! " The words sounded hollow even to him . It wasn't so much about taking Yesenia's side . It was more accurate to say that he didn't unconditionally take Sylvia's side this time . Before , he'd always stood firmly with Sylvia , condemning Yesenia without question . But this time , he couldn't bring himself to do so . Unable to meet Sylvia's no gaze , he turned away . Sylvia understood immediately . " I screwed up . I actually thought I could fix this and make Yesenia happy again after everything my birth parents put her through in Bruwania . But I just make everything worse . " Vicente's expression softened slightly , showing signs of wavering . " I'm just useless ? " Sylvia suddenly hit her own head hard . Vicente couldn't bear to see her hurt herself . He immediately grabbed her wrists , guilt flooding his heart . How could he have doubted Sylvia ? He recalled how he'd nearly gotten her killed years ago . my " I'm sorry , Sylvia . " Vicente said remorsefully . " This is all fault . You're caught in trouble , and instead of helping , I wasted time on .. He exhaled heavily . " Don't worry about the online backlash . I'll handle it . Just focus on recovering . " His eyes filled with concern . " Your health has always been fragile . Getting upset over this isn't worth it . " Sylvia peered up cautiously . " Are you still mad at me ? " " How could I ever be mad at you ? " Vicente ruffled her hair affectionately . Sylvia threw her arms around his waist . " Having you in my life makes me so happy . " Then she added quietly , " You were supposed to be Yesenia's dear brother . I understand her resentment against me . I deserve it . " Vicente flicked her forehead lightly . " Stop talking nonsense . I wouldn't want a sister like Yesenia . " His tone dripped with disdain . Hearing these familiar words , Sylvia finally felt relieved completely . *** After preparing an elaborate lunch for Jayvion , Yesenia left under the pretext of buying school supplies . She packed a few belongings and exited the manor , where a Lexus SUV waited at the gate . Assuming Rohan had arranged the transportation , Yesenia opened the door and bent to enter . Then she froze . The impeccably dressed man in the backscat was impossible to miss . Despite the spacious interior , his long legs still appeared slightly Overz cramped , suggesting an impressively tall stature when standing . Yesenia blinked in surprise . " Mr. Wyatt ? " Jayvion gave her a cursory glance . " I'm heading out anyway . Rohan asked me to give you a ride . " Yesenia doubted his explanation . She wouldn't believe that Jayvion would be willing to do as Rohan asked . Still , she slid into the car without protest . Their trip from Erton Valley brought them quickly to the city's largest bookstore . Yesenia patted her small backpack . " This might take a while . Did you want to run your errands first , Mr. Wyatt ? " Jayvion gave her a self - righteous look . " Get back on your own . " Suppressing a smile , Yesenia replied , " Alright , Mr. Wyatt . " She hopped out of the car . Jayvion watched her happily walk away , letting out a snort . " Drive . " Inside the bookstore , Yesenia handed her prepared list to a clerk who promptly gathered her requested materials . Within five minutes , she completed her purchase and hailed a taxi . She arrived at Kraitburgh Central Hospital . In her previous life , this was where she had undergone a kidney transplant with Sylvia . Not long after the surgery , her health started to deteriorate rapidly . Chapter 12 Today she needed to verify certain details . Yesenia carried her small backpack when she spotted a women's restroom ahead .. Before she could enter , a sharp voice shouted , " Yesenia , how dare your show up ? Come apologize to Sylvia right now ! " Jennifer charged forward with a twisted expression and grabbed Yesenia's arm . A scheme formed in her mind . If she forced Yesenia to apologize to Sylvia on camera and posted it online , maybe the public would stop . attacking Sylvia . If not for this little wretch , Sylvia wouldn't have suffered ! The mocking comments online were unbearable to read . Jennifer's grip tightened at the thought . Her manicured nails , adorned with elaborate fake tips , dug into Yesenia's flesh as if she wanted to crush her bones . Yesenia frowned , momentarily stunned by the sudden assault , then shoved Jennifer's hand away . " Let go . " Caught off guard , Jennifer stumbled back , her high heels twisting her ankle . She gasped in pain . Yesenia ignored her and kept walking . Jennifer tried to chase after her , but a sharp pain shot through her foot when she moved . Furious , she completely disregarded the hospital's quiet atmosphere and screeched , " You ingrate ! How dare you push me ? After I raised you for eighteen years , this is how you repay me ?
