Chapter 97: The Real Mrs. Leinster
Yesmina bit her lip.
She knew she had no reason to be here.
She could have said she was worried about her daughter, so she stopped by to see Frank.
Otherwise, her mind would be known to all.
But now, she didn’t want to say that.
Yesmina stopped being entangled with the issue.
"What did the doctor say?
"Is there a report?"
Zachary handed up the report.
The moment Yesmina saw it, she almost couldn’t stand up either.
"Hey," on the contrary, it was Frank who was relaxed this time.
"Everyone has some illness when one gets older. Don’t worry about it. There are so many doctors here and everything is fine.
"Yvonne, don’t you have to prepare for the school competition and write the plan?
"Do your work first, then.
"Come back when you’re done."
"No. This won’t do."
Frank was sick now, and Yvonne didn’t want to do anything. Her mind was totally blank.
Frank, however, was worried that if Yvonne stayed in the hospital all the time, it would affect her mental state.
After all, she was still young and vulnerable.
"I’ll stay tonight."
Right at that moment, Yesmina spoke.
As Yvonne’s mother, she also took this into consideration and said to Yvonne, "I’ll be here. You can go home at ease and come back tomorrow morning."
Frank gave Zachary a hint with eyes. Then Zachary spoke as well. "Leave your mom and dad alone to talk, they must have a lot to say. "If you’re there, they can’t say it."
Only then did Yvonne agree to go with Zachary.
On the way, she couldn’t stop crying.
What was she going to do if Dad only had a few months left?
Yvonne couldn’t fall asleep the whole night.
She couldn’t sleep and tossed and turned restlessly without realizing it.
Even if she didn’t move, Zachary could feel that she was not asleep.
So then, the man’s hands were holding her, holding her in his arms all the time to keep her from her thoughts and force her to get some rest.
Yvonne didn’t say anything.
She was silent throughout. She did not eat dinner. And when Zachary spoke to her occasionally, she wandered off and was not interested.
Yvonne went back to the hospital very early the next day.
It was only five or six in the morning when she got there.
Yesmina slept on the sofa in the room. She looked a bit haggard and had a worried look on her face.
"Mom."
"Why do you come so early? Why don’t you get more sleep?"
"I can’t sleep."
Yesmina’s heart ached as she looked at the appearance of Yvonne.
"Your dad is fine now, and you don’t have to worry too much."
"Mm"
She knew that she should not worry too much, but how could it happen?
When Yvonne went in, Frank was already awake for breakfast.
Today, the experts team arranged by Zachary would arrive, and they would give a more comprehensive and accurate examination of Frank’s body to know his health condition.
Yvonne had a class today at 8:00 a.m.
But she was still at the hospital at six o’clock. So Frank kept urging her to hurry back to school.
Yvonne was reluctant in her heart. But in the end, she went back to school only after Frank adopted every possible means.
Yvonne was also distracted during the day of classes back at school.
Yvonne didn’t study hard during her freshman year and failed many required classes.
In the sophomore year, she retook a lot of courses on her good brain and passed them all with good grades. But there were still several courses left that she should take again. So sometimes she had to take some math classes and economics classes with the younger students in the classroom.
These freshman courses was actually relatively easier compared to the Academic Competition she participated in back then.
But Yvonne was distracted today.
The teacher obviously got aware of it and asked at the class, "Yvonne Taylor, come and write this question on the board."
Yvonne was a little confused.
Walking up to the board, she realized she didn’t know which question it was.
She stood for a moment with the chalk and then, put it back in the chalk slot.
"I’m sorry. My mind drifted away just now."
"Pay attention to the lecture."
Yvonne had good grades and was known all over the college.
The teacher just warned her, not really trying to humiliate her in public.
So there were no hard words.
Yvonne said, "Yes." And then she went back to her seat.
Then she heard someone whispering in the back.
The one who spoke seemed to be a freshman.
"The girl is in the junior year and she still comes to the basic classes. She must be a bad student."
"So, she got the Academic Competition through cheating, right?
"She can’t even figure out such a simple question."
The people who discussed her didn’t know Yvonne, but had heard of her.
After all, Yvonne was excellent in the Arts Department and the Road Show. She even ranked first in Academic Competition. All of these made her famous.
Not to mention the fact that so many honors were now gathered together.
But it was because they didn’t know her and didn’t know what kind of person she is, they dared to talk badly about her behind with such impunity.
A girl said recklessly, "She had a bad brain. Wasn’t it said before that she was high profile and was dating with the head of the Leinster Group?
"Now that Mr. Leinster is married, she must be kicked away!
"The compensation is a three-month internship at the Leinster Group... How cheap she can be!
"She was not excellent at all!"
This wasn’t the first time that Yvonne had heard people were so viciously about herself.
She had heard so much hard words. This one was considered to be soft.
Yvonne didn’t have the heart to think about herself right now.
All she could think about was her dad’s condition and what to do next.
The only thing was that
There were so many people in the school who wanted to see her jokes and bully her. If they knew one day that she was Zachary’s legitimate wife, how would they react then?
Yvonne sneered in her heart.
But, probably until graduation, they wouldn’t even know that Zachary’s wife was her, Yvonne.
In the Dance Studio.
Amy wasn’t wearing the practice clothes today. But she went to the dance studio to see Ms. Hall.
She really worked hard to be the spokesman of Belline.
She wanted to be a big star so badly that she had to make the most use of the thing of Yvonne.
Amy held a gift box with the standard double C logo of Chanel and gave it to Ms. Hall with no one noticing it.
Ms. Hall was a beauty who loved Amy.
It made Ms. Hall quite happy to see Amy’s behavior.
"Ms. Hall, this is the latest necklace and the cosmetics from the Chanel. I saw it last time and think it suits you.
"You are like these gifts, shining and sparkling."
"You’re so sweet, ha-ha..."
The two girls talked and laughed. And then Amy said, "Ms. Hall, you’re good at English, can you help me with this article?"
Ms. Hall often performed in different countries all over the world. Of course, she had fluent English skills.
"What is it, let me see."
It was an announcement.
The person who made the announcement was Belline.
Belline was looking for a good spokesman, and there were all sorts of requirements.
One of requirements was that the age of the spokesman should preferably be under twenty, and the candidates was better not to have a boyfriend.
Marriage was another story.
If the candidate was already married, she would be out of consideration of course. If one were found out to lie, it was basically an outright disqualification!
Amy not only saw Zachary, but also Frank, and Yesmina at the hospital last time.
The parents were also there, so it must be more than just a boyfriend, right?
Amy was sure that Yvonne must be married.
She was just trying to report Yvonne for hiding her marriage. And therefore, Yvonne was automatic disqualification.
...
On the other hand, Yvonne did not know that she was plotted against in secret.
The top medical team arranged by Zachary arrived in Hiltonan that afternoon.
After they arrived, they now discussed and exchanged information about Frank’s condition with Frank’s current attending doctor at the private hospital in Hiltonan.
Then, the Geogisten doctor took the examinations for Frank item by item.
Their advanced technology required the most accurate values.
And the demanded accurate data could only be gotten by their equipment.
So, it was equal to say that Frank’s whole body was re-tested.
These days, Yesmina didn’t go to the company, not to mention the Abari.
She stayed with Frank day and night.
When Zachary and Yvonne returned, they found that the atmosphere of the two people clearly changed subtly.
"Do you want to eat the Caviar sushi?
"It’s delicious."
"I eat so many vegetables every day, like a rabbit. Is there any meat?"
"This is indeed the meat, cooked in chicken broth."
"With no chicken?"
"The doctor said you can’t eat any greasy things."
This was the first time Yvonne saw his mom and dad talking together. And it was surprising that they didn’t get into a fight after so many sentences.
Besides, was this good-tempered woman in front of her really her mother?
Dad... Mom...
Did they make peace?
A string of question marks ran through Yvonne’s head. But considering the atmosphere there, she didn’t dare ask. "When will the test results come out? "Dad and Mom?"
Zachary said, "Maybe tomorrow afternoon I expect initially."
"Tomorrow afternoon?"
Yvonne frowned, "I need to attend an audition tomorrow afternoon..."
When considering that Yvonne had something to do tomorrow afternoon, Frank was very happy inexplicably, like a mouse had stolen some oil. So he looked up at Yvonne and said hurriedly, "Go ahead. You don’t need to come here tomorrow afternoon."
"Why?"
Yvonne was confused.
Yesmina, however, knew the reason.
Because if Yvonne came, she would take the responsibility of taking care of her dad.
Prepare meals and serve water.
But if no one came, all this work would be done by Yesmina!
Frank certainly enjoyed more having Yesmina serve herself.
"You should allow me to go back to the office. I haven’t been back to the office in so many days."
Frank held an exact opposite attitude towards Yesmina.
These days, as long as Yesmina received a phone call from the company asking her to go back, Frank began to pretend to be sick immediately. He moaned and said that he was painful, suffered from all kinds of discomfort. In short, he wanted Yesmina to stay. This was different from the attitude towards Yvonne.
"Look, what are you talking about?" said Frank, "have you forgotten all the words you told me yesterday?"
Yesmina blushed, and then lowered her head.
Yvonne took in the scene with her eyes.
"So... what did you guys say yesterday?"
"You are too young to know it."
"Forget it."
Frank and Yesmina spoke in unison immediately after Yvonne’s words.
Yvonne was speechless.
Said nothing.
"So mom, you’re going to stay here this afternoon, right?"
"Yes, you’re right."
Although Yesmina said not willing. But during this period of time, she proved with her actions that she was taking care of Yesmina so patiently.
Yvonne nodded.
"The audition will only take one or two hours in total, I’ll come back when I’m done."
"I’ll take you there."
In the black Maybach.
Zachary sent Yvonne to the audition. But on the way, he could feel that Yvonne was not excited.
"Don’t you want to go?"
"I don’t know."
Yvonne murmured.
Originally, she was pretty indifferent about being picked as a spokesperson.
But, after all, she had put in much effort and practiced a lot.
Besides, she really didn’t want to lose to Ashley and Amy.
So there was still a bit desire to win.
But now...
"Because of what happened to your Dad?"
Zachary asked.
"Yes."
The girl bowed her head, with her black hair falling over her white forehead.
She supported her forehead with her hand, with a sad look on her face.
"I used to think it was fine to attend. But now that something bad happened to Dad..."
"Then why don’t we go home now instead of going to school?
"In the future, if you still want to be a spokesperson, you can try for a better brand."
However, Yvonne shook her head, "I’m going to audition not because I want to be a spokesperson, but it is because the school chose me."
"I know many other girls who also want to have the chance, but the places available is limited.
"The school gives me the chance, while some other girls are bound to get eliminated. I cannot give up the chance that others dream of just because of a personal matter. And I have to work hard for it. If not, I will feel sorry for the school and for all the people who get eliminated because of me.
"Now that I’m in, I have to take the responsibility."
Zachary was surprised about that.
He thought there was full of bad rumors about Yvonne in school lately, and she might be going to hate it.
He never excepted that Yvonne had such a heart!
Yvonne’s look made Zachary feel her more and more charm. While driving, he said, "Then you should perform well later, so that everyone can see how good my wife is!"
"Well, I’ll try my best!"
In the dance studio.
Today’s test was in the dance studio.
Yvonne heard that there were three tests in total. The first one was the general election, the second one was the competition among the country, and then was the final audition.
Right now, they were just in the first stage of the auditions.
Theoretically, the selected person in the general competition would be decided directly by the school and then was introduced to Belline.
However, Belline seemed to have a large expectation of the three girls at Zandia University this time.
Even nobody of Belline was present in the first general election at the film school, which was full of beautiful girls. And the teachers at film school was in full charge.
But as for the audition at Zandia University, three workers of Belline came!
In other words, they actually had a very desirable candidate in mind!
That was why it was so important to be present personally at the first stage!
Amy was very confident. She was sure that the person selected by Belline was herself.
She was the first one to perform today. She wore a pink yoga outfit with her hair tied up high with a bun at the top of her head, showing off her beautiful neck.
She also had a good figure and was very voluptuous and sexy.
The elegant violin music was played, and Amy performed the Chaine standardly at the beginning. The movements were so consistent and elegant that even Yvonne couldn’t help but exclaim that she was indeed great.
After the Chaine, Amy extended her round, white arm and drew a virtual arc in the air gently.
Then a long, slender leg lifted slowly behind her ear, like graceful swan’s wings!
It did take more than a decade of work to make such an effect.
It was this move that Yvonne had practiced so hard for a long time, but she was still
not able to do it.
Because she has no dance skills foundation.
The audition was over in ten seconds.
Yvonne was ready for the next performance at this point.
She was nervous. She knew that she could never win against Amy in terms of dance skills.
But Amy had a fatal weakness, that was, her stage was not infectious!
Amy focused too much on perfect dance skills that her every posture was so standard, which was not infectious or emotional!
Belline said in the announcement that this dance was for reference only. The candidates could incorporate their own styles into the dance. So the own character and style were also very important!
Belline was considered to pick the spokesperson girl whose temperament and style was similar to theirs.
Once Amy was finished, it was Yvonne’s turn to take the stage.
As soon as Yvonne came on, the people from Belline started communicating in English immediately.
"This girl is the one last time, she is beautiful!"
"Yes, she is more elegant than the former one just now.
"Let’s see, she’s the perfect candidate for us at the moment."
Yvonne heard it.
Sure enough, she was the one Belline had the eye on.
She came up and then curtsied like a princess.
Then following the rhythm of the music, she slowly stepped off her foot and moved lightly and soulfully.
