Love's Redemption

Redmption 245

Recalling how Yerick had wronged me before, I seized the chance for some payback. “Please let go of my hand, or I’ll accuse you of harassment.”

“Oh?” Yerick laughed. “Go ahead, sue me.”

He wasn’t scared at all. There was no reasoning with someone so shameless. I tried to pull my hand away, but he didn’t release it.

Instead, he said with a smug grin, “Madeline, it’s been a while. You seem to be even more… beautiful.”

“Get lost!” I yanked my hand again.

Yet, he refused to let go. Instead, he leaned closer, his hand still gripping mine. “Your temper is getting worse too.”

To be shameless was to be invincible, and that was exactly what someone like Yerick did.

“Yerick, what are you doing? At a time like this, do you still have time to flirt with others? Hurry up and come over,” someone called out from nearby.

He must have been in a hurry earlier, so there was probably something urgent. But now, Yerick didn’t seem to be in a rush at all.

Even when someone called him, he ignored them and continued to hold my hand. “Madeline, I heard you’re single now. Can I pursue you?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The question struck me deeply. I thought, “Single? Who’s fault is that? It’s your sister who made me single.

His sister stole my fiance, and now Yerick claimed that he wanted to pursue me. His audacity was unbelievable. But since they were both making things difficult for me, I had to retaliate. I smiled faintly. “Sure, ask your sister for permission. If she agrees, then you can pursue me.”

‘Do you agree, Madeline? Yerick’s eyes lit up with hope.

My heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t believe that this rascal was serious about this. I had just started a relationship with Brandon and had no intention of getting entangled with another man.

So, I had no choice but to lift my foot and stomp on his toes to dampen Yerick’s enthusiasm. With a pained yelp, Yerick released his grip. He started hopping around, clutching his foot.

However, I still felt unsatisfied. I gave him one last glare before walking away.

“Hey, Madeline! I’ll pursue you! I like your fiery personality.” The pain didn’t make Yerick stop talking. He actually raised his voice and started shouting in the hospital lobby.

I quickened my pace, ignoring his crazed behavior. Once inside my car, I took a moment to calm down from the anger caused by Yerick before leaving the hospital and heading to the office.

However, before I reached the office, my phone rang. It was a call from Eden. Instantly, I recalled the message he had sent me last night. I wondered if he was heading to see his father now.

Thinking of this, I answered the call and deliberately softened my voice. “Mr. Griffins, it’s early.”

“Did I wake you?” Eden’s tone was light and teasing.

“Is there something you need, Mr. Griffins? I deliberately avoided mentioning his message from the night before.

Eden chuckled on the other end. “I’m heading to see my dad, Ms. Crown. Since I promised you, I’ll make good on it. Are you still coming?”

Of course, I was going. “Sure, Mr. Griffins. Where are you? I’ll come to you.”

“I’ll pick you up, Ms. Crown,” Eden replied unexpectedly

I immediately refused. “I wouldn’t want to trouble you, Mr. Griffins. Just give me the address, and I’ll head

over now.”

Eden’s voice took on a hint of amusement as he said, “Are you trying to avoid me?”

I didn’t respond. Sometimes silence handled awkward situations better than explanations. Sure enough, a few seconds later, Eden told me to go to Sylking Sanatorium.

It was a place I had been to before but never actually entered, so I was familiar with it. “Alright. I’ll be there in half an hour.

Eden laughed again. “It seems like you have been to this sanatorium before.”

I was momentarily taken aback. Then, I lightly smacked my forehead, realizing I had accidentally revealed this detail. I didn’t offer any explanation.

Thankfully, he didn’t elaborate further and simply said, “Ms. Crown, see you later.”
