Chapter 118

“It proves that the encounter between Corbin and | is fate, right Corbin?”

“Yes... fate.”

Elysia softly caressed his cheek. Turning to Jessamine, she said, “I need a moment alone with Corbin, if that's

okay with you?”

“Of course, of course, you two chat. I'll just be outside, right by the door. If you need me, just holler.”

“Okay.”

Once Jessamine had left, Elysia waved her hand in front of Corbin’s eyes and started counting on her fingers,

“Corbin, look at my hand. Let's count together, one, two, three, four, five...”

With a snap of her fingers, Corbin suddenly passed out.

Twenty minutes later, Elysia emerged from the hospital room.

Jessamine immediately asked, “How is he? Is Corbin doing better? Can we take him home?”

“Yes, | just hypnotized Corbin to take a peek inside his mind. His inner world has changed a lot; there's sunshine,

green fields, and cats. Did he used to like cats?”

Jessamine felt a pang in her heart, “...He did. He used to have one, and it was while looking for that cat that he

was kidnapped. We lost both, the cat and our peace.”

“No wonder... If it's okay with your family, you might consider getting another one. Cats are therapeutic and

could help Corbin heal.”

“I will! I'll arrange it as soon as | get home. So, can he be discharged now?”

“Yes, he can go hto recuperate. But keep in mind, psychological issues aren't like the common cold; full

recovery will be a long road. You'll need to be patient.”

“I understand. Just seeing him improve is a blessing. We had lost hope before you calong.

Elysia, you've been an angel to the Denton family. | don’t know how I could ever thank you enough, but if you

ever face any difficulties, you must letknow.”

“There's no need for such formality. You helpedout today at the mall, and I'm grateful for that.”

Jessamine sniffled a bit, “It’s not the same. I... | won't fuss over thanking you properly. Just know this, from now

on, you're like a sister to me. And if anyone dares to cross you, they'll have to answer tofirst!”

Elysia smiled and said nothing.

“How about dinner tonight together?” Elysia was about to decline when Jessamine interjected,

“It’s not just out of gratitude that | want to invite you for dinner. Ever since Corbin’s incident, he hasn't stepped

out. He's been shuttling between hand the hospital.

| was thinking, since you're here, it might do him good to get sfresh air, to take that brave first step, right?

If you weren't here, he definitely wouldn't want to go out, and we wouldn't dare to take

him.”

Unable to refuse, Elysia agreed.

While Corbin was still unconscious, she called Blossom to talk about dinner.

Blossom said the little ones were still asleep and told her not to worry about them, that she would take care of

their meals once they woke up.

Hanging up, Elysia felt a warm glow inside. To have such a good friend in life, she thought, was truly” a stroke of

luck.

Blossom and Winona were her guardian angels.

When Elysia was suddenly reminded of Winona, she also thought of Zane and his cousin, and the way his cousin

had looked at her. That look one gives to a rival made her feel uneasy.

After the call, Elysia somehow found herself wandering toward the maternity ward.

Zane and his cousin had already left, so she tried asking the doctors for information.

But the doctors were tight-lipped, not willing to disclose patient information.

She understood it was their duty, so she didn’t complain.

Just as she was about to leave, as luck would have it, she ran into Benjamin, who was on his way out after his

shift.
