Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 70

Yasmin was stunned. “Is it serious?”

“I’ve been to the toilet twice. What do you think?” Blake gave her a gloomy glare.

Yasmin could not help but feel the urge to laugh. Sensing his cold gaze, she dared not laugh and said, “I’m sorry. Let me help you back to your room to rest first.” Then, she helped him sit on the bed and went to fetch some medicine.

After finding the stomach medicine, she poured a cup of warm water and brought it to Blake. “Here. It’s stomach medicine. Take it.”

Blake got up, took the water and medicine, and swallowed them. Then, he leaned against the pillow.

Yasmin asked, “How do you feel after taking it?”

Blake said, “My stomach still hurts.”

“It may take a while to kick in.” Yasmin sat on the edge of the bed. She was wearing a pink nightgown with her long hair cascading over her shoulders, looking quiet and beautiful.

Then, they fell silent. They were facing each other, but they had nothing to say.

Yasmin used to initiate the conversations and chatter away endlessly. But now, she no longer bothered to do so. Even if she talked for a long time, his responses remained minimal. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Blake’s phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence. He glanced at it and said to her, “It’s Grandpa.”

Yasmin asked, “Huh?”

“He probably saw the news and wants to ask about it. Do me a favor. Don’t let him know I’m sick.” Blake did not want his grandfather to worry.

Acknowledging his deep respect for his grandfather, Yasmin sat beside him and looked at the phone camera with him.

Blake answered the video call, and Arthur’s face appeared on the screen. A smile lit up Arthur’s serious face when he saw them sitting together in their pajamas. He asked, Yasmin, Blake, haven’t you gone to bed yet?”

“We’re about to rest,” Blake replied, wrapping his arm around Yasmin.

Yasmin looked a bit uncomfortable. However, she did not push it away because Arthur was there. She sweetly greeted, “Grandpa!”

Arthur asked, “Yasmin, has Blake been bullying you?”

“No, he’s been good to me.” Yasmin’s expression was warm as she spoke. Blake could not help but glance at her.

“Really? Why do I feel like there’s a distance between you two?” Arthur had indeed seen the news about Blake and Giselle. Hence, he called to scold Blake. Eventually, he saw Blake and Yasmin sitting together on a bed. They seemed to get along well.

“Would we be lying on the same bed if we were distant?” As she spoke, Yasmin rested her head on Blake’s shoulder. Blake also embraced her.

Yasmin felt a tension in her back, but she had to maintain her smile. She looked at Arthur stiffly on the video call.

Arthur stared at them for a while before saying, “I’m relieved to see you two like this. Blake, don’t go on business trips so often this year. Spend more time with Yasmin and give me a great– grandchild.”

Blake replied, “Okay.”

Arthur shouted again, “Yasmin, did you hear me? Nurture your love with Blake and give me a great– grandchild.”

Yasmin did not respond. She suddenly felt a bit down because it was impossible to happen.

Arthur looked genuinely sad. “Yasmin, I’m already 80 and won’t be around long. All I wish for before I pass is this. Won’t you help me fulfill my last wish?”

Yasmin could not bear to upset him and nodded. “Okay, Grandpa.”

Arthur’s eyes lit up. “You’re willing to give me a great–grandchild?”

Yasmin nodded again. “I’ve always been willing to.”

Arthur chided Blake, “Did you hear that, Blake? Yasmin has always been ready to have a baby with you. It’s you who hasn’t been up to the task!”

Blake nodded. “Alright, I’ll make an effort in the future.”
