Chapter 1155:
After the heated quarrel in the ward, a heavy silence lingered. When Joselyn left, the three who remained sat without a word.
“Brendon, your mother dislikes me, so I think we should…” Yolanda began.
But before she could finish with the word “divorce,” Brendon cut her off. “No.”
“But your mother—” Yolanda’s voice broke as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Yet throughout the week, though he had taken to wheeling himself outside for strolls, he never once encountered Christina.
One afternoon, as they were chatting, the competition came up. Katie turned to Yolanda with a smile. “Do you feel confident about your design?”
“I do,” Yolanda replied with a firm nod.
