Brayden's gaze turned cold as he fell silent . Ralph studied him curiously . " Yakira left the divorce papers behind , but you've never signed them . So , legally , you're still married . Isn't it natural that you bring her back ? " Back then , everyone had thought Brayden loved Patricia and resented Yakira . But he didn't sign after Yakira left the divorce papers . Later , rumors had it that Yakira died in a car accident . They thought Brayden would marry Patricia . However , after five years , he still showed no intention of doing so . And now , it turned out that Yakira was still alive , and she went back . Ralph figured Brayden would take her back at least for Daron's sake . After all . Daron's condition was worrying . Brayden still didn't say anything . " Bray , you saw what Daron did today . We can't afford to delay any longer , " Ralph reminded Brayden . Brayden took a deep breath before saying in a low voice , " I see . " Ralph nodded and said no more *** Early in the morning , Yakira took Minnie and Daron to the airport to pick Sharlene up . " Mommy , look ! Grandma and Conrad are over there ! " Minnie pointed ahead and beamed . Yakira looked over and waved her hand . " Mom , over here ! " Sharlene and Conrad Kirk walked over . 05:46 Chapter 11 Someone She Loves " Kira , the plane ticket must have cost you a lot , right ? You shouldn't have spent the money . No one can do anything to my condition . " Sharlene said with distress in her eyes . She knew Yakira had to work overtime frequently to earn money . Sharlene used to be a rich lady , but her elegant poise had already been worn out by years of illness and hardship . Yakira held her hand and said , " Mom , I've found Dr. Fischer to help you . I'm sure we have great hope . " Sharlene nodded , knowing how deeply Yakira cared about her . " By the way , Kira , Conrad helped me a lot on the way here . I would have been at a loss if it weren't for him . " Sharlene smiled while looking at Conrad . Yakira looked at Conrad and said gratefully , " Thank you , Conrad . " " Don't mention it . I need to come here to deal with some business . Besides , the trip would have been tedious without Sharlene , " Conrad smiled . Yakira frowned . " Business ? Is it about the design project I took ? " " Yes . " Conrad nodded . She said apologetically . " I'm so sorry , Conrad . You have to come to Retston all because of me . " He smiled , " Don't say that . I know you've got to handle your personal matters . If I complain because of this and deliberately overlook the profits you've brought to the company , won't that make me a crappy boss ? Who'd wanna work for me ? " His joke cracked Yakira . She was very grateful to him , without him , she wouldn't have known what to do . Back then , she had had to take care of Minnie and Abel alone , and Sharlene had been seriously ill . She had barely had the money to make ends meet at home and could only resort to odd jobs . Conrad had given her a decent job , which changed her life . " Hey , Minnic . Hey , Abel . " Conrad's gaze fell upon the two kids as he waved his hand at 05.46 Chapter 17 Someimei them Minnie happily threw herself into his arms " Conrad ! " " Minnie " He picked her up Meanwhile , Daron looked at Conrad deadpan with even a trace of resistance in his eyes " Abel ? Why aren't you saying hi to Conrad ? " Yakira reminded him She was a bit puzzled Minnie and Abel were very fond of Conrad They had always clung to him whenever they saw him Yet today , Abel wouldn't even greet him . Conrad put Minnie down and reached out to pinch Daron's check softly . " What's wrong . Abel ? " Daron tilted his face away , not letting Conrad touch him . Conrad's hand froze in mid - air , and he seemed a bit awkward . " Don't take it personally , Conrad . Something happened when we first got here , and Abel was a bit spooked . He hasn't been in a great mood these days , " Yakira explained Conrad smiled . " It's fine . " Conrad , Kira , let's go . We can chat when we go back home , " Sharlene said Yakira nodded Then they walked out of the airport together . Yakira supported Sharlene Conrad walked with Minnic in his arms Daron followed them while keeping his head bowed . Brayden was in the car . Looking at their retreating figures , he squinted slightly He exuded such chilling intensity that made people's blood run cold , 05:46 Chapter 11 Someone She Loves " Deon , find out who that man is " Yes . Mr. Blanchard . " Deon replied at once . Conrad left after he sent Yakira and the others back to the apartment . Right after he walked out . Sharlene grabbed Yakira's hand and smiled meaningfully , " Kira . Conrad is such a nice young man . Don't you think ? " " Mom . " Yakira said helplessly . Of course , she knew what Sharlene meant . She was very grateful to Conrad , but what she harbored for him wasn't love . She already had someone she loved . Sharlene sighed , feeling sorry for her , " Kira , you silly girl . You and Brayden ... " Yakira interrupted her , " Mom , you must be tired after the long flight . " Why don't you go get some rest ? I'll go cook us lunch . We'll go to the hospital in the afternoon . " Sensing Yakira's resistance , Sharlene didn't press on . After lunch , Yakira took Sharlene to Retston Central Hospital . Yakira had made an appointment with Grover , and they waited in line . When it was their turn , she helped Sharlene into the consultation room . Grover performed a routine check - up for Sharlene . " Dr. Fischer , how's my mom ? " Yakira asked nervously . " Not too bad , " he said . Yakira breathed a sigh of relief when hearing this . Grover continued , " But it's been dragged too long , and treatment takes a certain amount of time . She needs to be hospitalized . " " What ? " Sharlene exclaimed . 05 471 Chapter 11 Someone She Loves 298 « Vouchers Grover nodded . " Your body needs time to adjust . Given your weak condition , you have to take the medication under our supervision . Once symptoms arise , and you don't get treated in time . your life will be in great danger . " Yakira's expression turned grave at once . " Dr. Fischer . I don't need to be hospitalized . You can just prescribe me some medicine . I've been taking different kinds of medication over the years and can adjust quickly , " Sharlene said , not wanting to be hospitalized . Grover said , " I can't prescribe you anything if you refuse to be hospitalized . I'm a doctor and have to be responsible for my patients . " " Dr. Fischer , my mom will be hospitalized . " Yakira said . Sharlene pulled her out of the room . " Kira , don't . I'm feeling much better now . There's no need to waste any money . Yakira comforted her . " Mom , it's fine . Our old home is being demolished , remember ? As long as I sign , the money will be transferred to my account right away . I can perfectly pay for hospitalization and treatment . " But Sharlene was still worried . " I don't think Cecil and Normand will let you have that money easily " Chill , Mom . The place is under my name . What could they possibly do ? Just get hospitalized and focus on getting better , OK ? Leave the rest to me . Get better soon ; I'm counting on you to take care of Minnie and Abel for me Hearing this , Sharlene nodded without saying anything anymore .
