The Unlucky Turn by Mark Twain 273

“Leilani, my legs are healed now. Once my memory returns, I’ll go with you to court to sue and overturn the case. Maybe then your name will be fully cleared.”

Leilani looked at her, a softness flashing in her eyes. She didn’t explain, didn’t take the opportunity to badmouth Tamara, and didn’t talk about overturning the case. She simply reached out and gently patted Yvonne’s shoulder. “We can talk about those things later. Even though your injuries are mostly healed, your body is still much weaker than a normal person’s.”

After all, Yvonne had been lying in a hospital bed for four years. During those four years, she had relied on various nutrient solutions and IVs to maintain her vital signs. So, her physical baseline was definitely worse than others.

Leilani patted Yvonne on the shoulder, her expression gentle. “Don’t think too much for now. Go back and focus on getting your health back first.”

Yvonne pouted and nodded. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she blinked. “By the way, is that Callahan Langley pursuing you?”

Leilani almost choked on her own saliva, helpless as she rubbed her forehead and smiled bitterly.

“Who told you that? It’s all over the internet!” Yvonne waved the tablet with a grin. “Dante personally certified you as his ‘granddaughter-in-law’… isn’t that solid proof?”

Actually, many Langley Group employees, while clarifying and defending Leilani against the hate, ouldn’t help but ‘ship’ them. So, there were quite a few people speculating about the relationship

tween Leilani and Callahan.

Leilani couldn’t understand how things had taken such a bizarre turn, so she helplessly tapped Yvonne’s forehead.

Seeing Leilani’s reaction, Yvonne figured she more or less understood the situation. She looked at Leilani with a secret smile, casting a meaningful glance. “It seems the internet’s guesses aren’t completely off base.”

They say netizens have eyes like hawks. They can see through to the essence of things at a glance.

Leilani glanced at her and reached out to ruffle her hair. She didn’t admit it, but she didn’t deny it either. “Kids shouldn’t pry into these things.”

Yvonne protested in dissatisfaction. “I’m in my twenties, okay!”

“To me, you’re a kid.”

Leilani didn’t argue over such childish topics. She took a box of pills from her bag and handed them to Yvonne. “This is a new prescription I made. Take two pills every day; it will help your health.”

Yvonne took them obediently, then suddenly whispered. “Leilani, thank you.”

Leilani raised an eyebrow. “For what?”

“Thank you… for never giving up on me.” Yvonne looked up, her eyes sincere. “Even when everyone said I was hurt by you, you still came to treat my legs.”

Leilani fell silent for a moment, then chuckled and flicked her forehead lightly. “Don’t say such silly things.”

Yvonne squeezed her own legs, looking up at Leilani with a smile and sharing her joy. “Leilani, the doctor said my legs are recovering very well. Although my memory hasn’t fully returned, I can at least walk normally now. My brother is coming to pick me up soon.”

Leilani was somewhat surprised, marveling at the speed of Yvonne’s recovery, but she was genuinely happy for her. “Congratulations.”

Yvonne’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly leaned in close. “Leilani, since my brother is coming to pick me up, do you want to… come home with me?”

Leilani raised a brow. “Home?”

“Yeah!” Yvonne nodded expectantly. “You’re not busy right now, are you? Come hang out at my house! I’ll have the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes!”
