Chapter 10 I Care Since She Is Mine
Lance stiffened, his lips pursed.
At that moment, a nurse came out of the ward, saying that Yazmin was awake.
Marvin stopped teasing him and smiled leisurely, “Placate her a bit. I will be waiting for you at the bar.”
In the ward, Yazmin had just recovered from a high fever. Her doctor told Lance that Yazmin had encountered graft rejection in her bone marrow transplantation and that having recurrent fever would do her no good.
Yazmin held Lance’s hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. “Lance, my shoulder hurts. It hurts everywhere. I’m afraid I can’t wait anymore. Can you marry me? The sooner the better.”
Lance’s eyes darkened as he pulled his hand away from her grip and stroked her head. “Alright.”
Lance’s words melted Yazmin’s heart. She then leaned into Lance’s arms affectionately.
Lance, with a frown, stiffened, wanting to push her away.
Noticing that, Yazmin threw herself at Lance and twisted her body with a yearning look in her eyes. As she
did that, her fingers reached for his belt, wanting to untie it.
Her face was full of flirtation. “Lance, actually… I can…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lance grabbed her hand.
He took a step back, his face cold. “Have a good rest. I’ll be leaving now.”
Yazmin retracted her hand awkwardly, her face full of disappointment. “Lance, aren’t you staying here with
me?”
“Lena is here. She will take care of you.”
“But I want you!” Yazmin said unwillingly.
Lance frowned and said coldly, “Yazmin, I have not divorced yet.”
Since Yazmin had risked her life to save Lance, it would be only reasonable that Lance fulfilled her wish,
especially when Yazmin was seriously ill.
However, something seemed to have changed unknowingly.
“Lance, you know I have feelings for you. If you don’t marry me, I might as well just die…”
Yazmin then covered her face while sobbing.
Lance looked at her with mixed feelings. “I will do it as soon as possible.”
The sound of his footsteps faded away.

said,
Back then, knowing that the McBride family was suffering, the Robbins family broke the engagement
between Jamie and Ellen right away. All the shareholders changed their tune as well, selling off all their
stock, leaving Jamie no way out.
Jamie was resigned to going abroad. And judging from the scar on his face, it was easy to imagine how
difficult it was for Jamie all these years alone in foreign countries.
Therefore, Marvin knew that Ellen would eventually have to pay for what she and her family did to Jamie.
Marvin picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then he sized up Lance, who was silent. “You just met
Yazmin, right? Why are you still in such a bad mood?”
Lance’s brows furrowed, but he did not speak.
Marvin understood right away. Then he smiled, “Did Yazmin urge you to divorce Yvette?”
Lance nodded irritably.
Everyone knew why Yazmin was back this time.
Given how much Lance doted on Yazmin, Marvin thought that there was nothing for Lance to worry about.
But now it seemed that Lance was distressed.
Marvin squinted at him. “If you don’t want to divorce Yvette, then don’t. I mean, Yvette is a good girl.”
Lance raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you just tell me to divorce her?”
“I was just teasing you. I thought Yvette was after your money, but it turned out that she was after you.
Loving someone is just stupid.”
Lance frowned and said lightly, “Yazmin can’t wait anymore.”
Marvin sighed, “What a pity! Yvette is a good girl. But since she is beautiful and elegant enough, she won’t be
alone for long after the divorce.”
Lance frowned as he tilted his head and fed a cigarette into his mouth.
Marvin continued, “Last time I went to a party, one of my friends took a fancy to her and asked me to help
him to woo Yvette. And after I told him that Yvette is married, he sighed a bit.”
Lance snapped his lighter off and turned his head. His eyes were gloomy. “I’m warning your friend. Don’t even
think about wooing Yvette!”
“You’re about to divorce her. Why do you care?”
“I care since she is mine.”
Marvin stared at him for a few seconds and burst into laughter. Then he said lazily, “Something is off with
you.”
