Sean could not help feeling that this woman was after him, and so he did not feel like entertaining her
at all.
However, he never thought she would cover for him when Luna questioned him.
Even though he did not know whether she had done this just to get on his good side, he still had to
thank her.
"There's no need to thank me."
Yannie smiled at him and sat down in a nearby chair.
"I know you must've blurted that out on purpose, and I know that Mr.Luke is Ms.Luna and Mr.Lynch's
friend.
"If this secret between you and Mr.Luke were to get exposed, it wouldn't be good for any of you,
whether it was him, you, or Ms.Luna and Mr.Lynch.
"Since a little white lie on my side is all it takes to hide this, why would I want to tell the truth that would
hurt everyone?"
Then, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, which had accumulated from her lying, and added, "You
don't have to be so hostile toward me, Mr.Wheeler...I can tell that you really like Ms.Kate.
"Before I came here, Ms.Luna had indeed hoped to matchmake us both, and the truth is, I had been
looking forward to this, but for one reason: if you and I were to start dating, it'd allow me to become
closer to Ms.Luna.
"However, since your heart belongs to someone else, I won't force you to choose me."
With that, Yannie lowered her head.The truth was, she had no right to force Sean to choose her at
all.She was plain -looking with no talent and nothing exceptional to remember her by...so what right did
she have to make Sean choose her over someone else? She did not even have the right to mingle with
people from the upper class, much less date one of them.
Sean's entire body froze when he heard this.
Yannie's honesty and earnestness made him realize how cruel he had been toward her.He let out an
awkward smile and scrutinized the woman before him carefully.
She was wearing a pair of white-washed jeans with a white t-shirt that made her look clean and
fresh.She was the kind of girl he used to like, and even he had to admit...
If it were not for the fact that he had fallen for outgoing, cheerful women like Bonnie Kate, he would
have been interested in Yannie just based on her looks.He sighed and curled his lips into a smile.
"I can tell that you're a nice girl; I'm sure you'll be able to find your prince charming one day."
Yannie could not help letting out a self-deprecating chuckle.
"What right do I have to ask for that?"
She let out an exhale and stood up.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I think I should go now.I don't think it'd be appropriate for you and me to
be together in the same room any longer.
"when Ms.Luna returns later, you should tell her that I had insisted on leaving; that way, she won't
make things hard for you."
Then, she turned and strode toward the door.When she reached the door, however, she froze as
though she had recalled something and turned to glance at Sean.
"By the way, you mentioned that...Mr.Luke doesn't have much time left.Is that true? Seeing how
earnest she looked, Sean nodded and replied, "It's true, but please don't tell Luna."
Yannie nodded and finally left.
When she came out of the room, her head was lowered in deep thought as she walked, so she failed to
notice that she had bumped into a tall man at the hospital entrance.
All of a sudden, she felt someone grab hold of her arm.
"Did you bump into me on purpose?"
