Chapter 807: Can we talk alone?
Yanis nudged Bonnie and then turned to Zane. "Did you bring anything else with you?" she asked.
Zane looked at Yanis and replied, "Clean clothes."
Yanis stepped forward to take a look inside the bag. Everything that needed to be there was there.
"Is Mr. Lawrence always this considerate now? Looks like Yanis has taught you well. Keep it up,"
Bonnie said, surprised by how thoughtful Zane had become.
After all, in Bonnie's memory, Zane was a very traditional person.
Bonnie was genuinely happy for Yanis that she could be with someone like him now.
Zane glanced at Bonnie before turning back to Yanis and whispered, "I'll have Sophia make something
for us tomorrow morning. We can eat together."
"Okay," Yanis agreed.
As they stood together talking quietly, Bonnie couldn't help but think of Martin still being in the hospital.
Although Yanis hadn't mentioned Martin's injury to her directly, Bonnie knew that she was a soft-
hearted person who sometimes appeared unaffected but actually cared deeply inside.
Despite not treating her well compared to Olivia, Martin still had some feelings for Yanis when
compared with his wife Olivia.
Perhaps it was true what they say about daughters being their father's lovers from past lives.
So while Martin wasn't exactly an ideal father figure overall he did treat Yanis better than Olivia did.
Thinking about this made Bonnie look over at Yanis and whisper softly: "Yanis."
Yaniss turned towards her friend and asked: "What is it?"
Bonnie whispered back: "Uncle Thompson is also here on this floor; do you want me to go check on
him? Have Mr. Lawrence come along too?"
After thinking for a few seconds after hearing what her friend said, Yaniss replied hesitantly: "Let's go
later."
Bonnie suggested again:"Why don't you two go see him now? It might be too late if we wait any
longer."
In reality, Bonnie worried somewhat because if something happened later on regarding Martin, Yaniss
might regret not seeing him earlier when given the chance..
Yaniss nodded slowly after considering everything carefully."I'll come over soon," she said before
turning towards Zane."Let's go."
On their way towards Martin's room, Yannis thought about whether or not he felt remorseful now that
things had gotten so bad, and whether or not Olivia regretted never trying harder stop things from
getting worse between them both..
"What are you thinking about?" Zane asked Yanis, who had been silent the whole way.
Yanis looked at Zane after hearing his question and said, "I'm wondering if they regret what they've
done to end up like this."
If Martin and Olivia had lived a good life, the Thompson family would be much better off than they are
now. The money they took in front of Zane alone could have lasted them a lifetime. But obviously, they
were never content.
Martin was addicted to gambling while Olivia never tried to stop him. And later on, Antonio got involved
with those things too. Maybe that's why they had to go through all of this.
But Yanis couldn't understand why after going through so much trouble, Martin and Olivia still couldn't
settle down.
When Yanis arrived at Martin's hospital room door, she took a deep breath and even felt hesitant about
going in.
"If you don't want to go in there, I'll do it for you," Zane said softly when he saw Yanis standing outside
the door without moving for some time.
Yanis shook her head and replied: "Let's go in together."
Zane nodded his head before taking Yanis' hand and pushing open the door. Martin's hospital room
was not a single-person room; there were other patients inside as well.
When they entered the room, Olivia was feeding Martin while talking with him about something.
However, Martin seemed impatient with her words: "Fine! If you don't want to stay here then leave! No
one is stopping you!"
Olivia didn't say anything but kept holding out food for him: "Just eat first."
Martin turned his face away from her: "I'm not eating!"
Olivia maintained her position of feeding him for several seconds before finally putting down the
utensils beside them when he refused again.
As soon as she turned around intending to leave but saw Yanis and Zane coming into the room
unexpectedly: "Yanis? Zane? Weren't you guys supposed to be overseas? Why did you come back
suddenly?"
Martin opened his eyes upon hearing Olivia's voice then looked over at Yanis &Zane who just walked
into their sight line without saying anything yet
"Something came up," answered Yanis calmly while looking directly at Martin's face."How are things
now?"
"It's nothing serious," replied Martin quietly when he met eyes with her gaze.
After listening carefully, Yanishad no more questions or comments.
They were supposed to be close and talk about everything, but now their relationship was like that of
strangers. Olivia stood on the side for a moment before pulling out a chair and saying, "Sit down for a
while."
Yanis didn't move, instead looking at Olivia and asking, "Where's your phone?"
After hearing Yanis' question, Olivia turned around and took her phone out of her bag. "Here it is.
What's up?"
Yanis walked over and took the phone from Olivia's hand. "What's the password?"
"Antonio's birthday," replied Olivia.
Upon hearing this, Yanis' grip on the phone tightened before she unlocked it with the password and
added herself as a friend on Olivia's Facebook account.
After doing so on her own phone as well, Yanis transferred some money to Olivia through Facebook
before handing back the phone. "Use this money to buy something for him."
It was only then that Olivia realized what Yanis had wanted with her phone. "No need, Zane already
gave us some money before," she said as she tried to return the device.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Yanis looked at her and said firmly: "Keep it; I don't have time to come back again."
Olivia glanced at Yanis' face when she heard this but decided not to say anything in response.
Yanis then turned towards Martin: "Don't go gambling again after you're discharged from here."
Martin remained silent for a moment after hearing these words before nodding his head softly in
agreement: "Okay."
Without saying anything else, Yanishanded overa final farewell: "Rest well; we'll go first."
After speaking, YanisturnedtoZaneand said:"Let's go."
Zane reached out his handand held onto Yaniss', turning around towards outside.
Olivia stood still watching their backs until finally couldn't resist calling out softly,"Yanis..."
Upon hearing this, Yanismade eye contact withOliviaand asked,"Is there something else?"
Olivia approachedher slowlyandsaid quietly:"Can I talk alone with you?"
Yanismomentarily hesitatedbefore lookingat Zaneandsaying softly:"Can you waitfor mefor awhile?"
Zanesimply noddedin response."Sure, I'll waitfor youby Bonnie."
