Chapter 1735
[ 566 words ]
“You should discuss this with your family first and decide if you want to proceed with my treatment plan.”
“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Claire was decisive and had no interest in dealing with Evie.
Evie had provoked her today, and Claire had already slapped her in return.
If the girl didn’t learn her lesson, Claire would simply refuse to take Quentin on as a patient.
However, she found Evie’s motives highly suspicious.
It seemed like she genuinely didn’t want Quentin to receive proper treatment.
This was just Claire’s personal observation, not just because Evie had tried to stop the examination.
Evie’s reactions were just too bizarre.
“I have some things to take care of, so I won’t see you off,” Yolande nodded and stood up. “Quentin, I won’t bother you any longer either.”
Quentin really did need to talk to his family, and he still had Evie waiting outside, so he didn’t try to keep them.
“Alright. I’m sorry about today… Thank you for coming to see me, Yolande, and for bringing a doctor.”
“I can tell Claire’s skills are exceptional, but I still need to let my family know. Plus…” Quentin had his own frustrations.
He had to handle the situation with Evie properly.
“Evie and I really aren’t engaged. It’s just her one-sided delusion. My family never agreed to it.”
“That’s your business, Quentin. It has nothing to do with Yolande, so there’s no need to explain it to her.”
Ewan was terrified that the two dance partners might develop feelings for each other over time.
He had been relieved earlier when he thought Quentin had a fiancée, but now his guard was back up.
Was Quentin eyeing Yolande too?
“I…” Quentin ignored Ewan completely and kept his gaze on Yolande.
They were both men; they knew exactly what the other was thinking.
Yolande also felt the drama had
nothing
do with her. “I’m just so
pretty that I became collateral damage.
Quentin was left speechless as Yolande and Ewan headed out.
“Let’s go. I’ll treat you to lunch.”
“Don’t let it get to you. Didn’t you say you’d treat it as a compliment?”
Ewan tried to comfort her.
Yolande paused. “I’m not upset.”
Growing up, she had always been the target of gossip because of her stunning looks.
Since they were former classmates, Ewan probably knew a bit about that.
He was just trying to cheer her up, afraid she might be dwelling on unpleasant memories.
“Alright then. Let me take you out to eat. Will you do me the honor?”
In the past, Ewan hadn’t dared to get closer to her, not even daring to actively seek out news about her.
But things were different now. Knowing he might stand again, he saw a glimmer of hope.
So, he was back to being eager and attentive.
“Sure,” Yolande agreed.
It was just lunch, and she didn’t mind giving an old classmate some face.
When Evie saw the two of them
emerge from the ward, she
brandished her phone triumphantly.
“Why is it just you two?
where’s
Claire?”

“Mrs. Young said it herself. Young doctors don’t know what they’re doing, and she doesn’t trust them.”
“So you can stop wasting your time. Quentin isn’t going to be your guinea pig.”
Yolande’s upbringing stopped her from rolling her eyes, but she mentally labeled the girl a lunatic.
“No one is treating Quentin like a guinea pig. If he doesn’t want the treatment, that’s fine, My cousin is very busy and barely had the time anyway.”
Yolande genuinely regretted her moment of kindness.
She pushed Ewan’s wheelchair and walked away.
Wait, where was Ewan’s bodyguard?
