NovelEnglishChapter 186 Chapter 186: "The hospital." On the other end, Norton's brows knitted. "Are you unwell?" "It's not me, it's Rachel. I'm just here to visit." "Sendthe address." "Why? Are you coming to pickup?" As a matter of fact, Norton was already in his car. He cleared his throat before saying, "I'm in the vicinity. Don't read too much into it." Leif cast a sideways glance at him and thought Norton was pretty bad at lying. The hospital was miles away. "Don't worry, I'm not reading into anything." "Good. Stay there and wait for me." After ending the call, Yvonne wandered out to the entrance. If she waited there, she would be easily spotted from any approaching vehicle.
Dusk had just fallen when she first arrived, and she had even had the chance to watch a glorious sunset. Now, the sky was overcast, and a strong wind was blowing. It looked like a storm was coming.

As luck would have it, however, the rain and wind picked up in just a matter of minutes. Before long, Yvonne was soaked to the bone.

"Has no one taught you to take shelter from the rain? What are you doing, just standing here like a fool? I swear, Yvonne, you always get on my nerves!" Norton's Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke, and there was a palpable tension in his voice.
Yvonne found it incredibly attractive.

"Seriously. Do you think it's more important forto spot you from a distance than I from than for you to stay dry in a storm?" With that, Norton nearly yanked her into the backseat of the car. His words were still echoing in Yvonne's mind.
The Yvonne of the past would have confidently replied, "Of course, it's important for sehad always She had always focused all her energy on him, trying every possible way to catch his attention and keep it.
She remembered a similar instance when she had also been drenched in the rain. That day, she had worn a vibrant red dress, bold makeup, and even had her hair freshly styled. Yvonne thought she looked quite striking, so she eagerly went to see Norton. But he had simply passed by her without even glancing her way. As a young girl experiencing love for the first time, she had been utterly heartbroken. She remembered crying into her pillow the entire night.
