Chapter 1751

[ 660 words ]

Evie Grant had absolutely no idea that Claire and Mary were walking right behind them. Every word of her complaints had been overheard by the very people she was badmouthing.

Hearing Evie’s rant, Yvette Young didn’t rush to agree with her.

Instead, she replied evenly, “I’ll have a proper talk with Quentin. He really can’t treat his health like a joke.”

After all, the idea that a mere student could help him fully recover and return to the stage sounded like a complete fantasy.

But Yvette also knew her son. He wouldn’t buy into such an outrageous claim just because he had a crush on a female classmate.

Unless, of course, the person that classmate brought along actually possessed genuine skill.

Evie, on the other hand, seemed to be at serious odds with Quentin.

Yvette was starting to regret letting Evie come here to look after him.

Evie was an unmarried young woman. Running off to take care of someone else’s son could easily cause a stir. Who knew what the Grant family might think?

“Exactly! How can he play games with his health?”

“Besides, even if he can’t dance anymore, he can always inherit your business. It’s not like he’d have nothing to do…”

Evie’s mouth kept running, but Yvette’s brows had already furrowed in quiet disapproval.

She didn’t know a single mother on earth who would enjoy hearing someone constantly criticize her son.

Furthermore, judging by Evie’s tone, she didn’t care in the slightest whether Quentin actually recovered or not.

To Evie, all that mattered was that he could inherit the family business. Whether he could ever dance again was entirely irrelevant to her.

But Yvette knew her son better than anyone. Returning to the stage was the only thing he truly cared about.

Having trained since childhood, Quentin loved dancing more than life itself.

How could he ever willingly give it up?

If there was even a sliver of hope, he was going to take it.

It was precisely because she knew her son’s mindset that she had rushed over so urgently.

She was terrified that if she arrived a second too late, he might have already rashly submitted to some medical student’s experimental rehabilitation.

She had to act as his gatekeeper. Any potential treatment needed to be vetted by medical authorities first.

As they approached the ward, Evie was still chattering away, prompting Yvette to finally cut her off. “Alright, Evie I understand what you’re saying.”

Only then did Evie notice the darkened expression on Yvette’s face.

Belatedly, she realized she had overstepped.

She shouldn’t have taken Yvette’s fondness for granted and openly criticized her son right in front of her.

“I’m sorry, Yvette. I’m just so worried Quentin might get scammed…”

Yvette patted her shoulder gently. “I know. Anxiety makes us say things.”

Evie nodded eagerly. “Yes, exactly!”

“I just care about Quentin so much. If he really likes that girl and blindly trusts her, what if… what are we going to do?”

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let him be taken advantage of.”

Yvette completely ignored Evie as she impatiently pushed open the door to the ward.

Quentin lit up at the sight of his mother, but the moment he spotted Evie trailing behind her, the smile vanished from his face.

“Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to go back to Montara?”

Quentin’s tone was sharp, making Yvette frown.

“Quentin, is there a reason you can’t speak nicely? Evie came all this to take care of you, why are you

treating her like an enem

Earlier, Evie’s complaints had sparked a bit of resentment in Yvette.

But seeing her son’s hostile attitude, she couldn’t help but defend the girl.

In Yvette’s eyes, Evie was just a slightly spoiled young woman.

The fact that she had offered to care for him was already a grand gesture. Even if he didn’t appreciate it, there was

Could it be true? Had Quentin really fallen for his dance partner, which was why he

was being so cold to Evie?

Although their families had never officially arranged an engagement, Yvette had always viewed Evie as her future daughter-in-law.
