The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 298

Yvonne pushed Lorraine back, causing Lorraine to stumble and crash into the cabinet behind her.

Lorraine winced in pain. One of her hands was clutching her lower abdomen, and her face seemed to have been drained of all color. Yvonne froze in a panic before she turned away, trying to avoid looking at Lorraine.

"Stop pretending. Don't think I can't tell that you're doing this on purpose," Yvonne said as her voice trembled with anxiety.

Lorraine reached out weakly, trying to search for something to hold onto. I immediately rushed over and scooped her into my arms.

"Doctor! Doctor!" I shouted.

Her pain didn't seem feigned at all. It was definitely real.

Lorraine had never been so vulnerable in front of me before. I could feel the anxiety surge up in my heart.

"Everyone has to wait here." I looked at Yvonne. No one was allowed to leave without my permission.

Yvonne leaned against the wall as she trembled slightly with fear.

Mom immediately rushed over when she got the news. Jonas was trailing closely behind her with a worried look on his face as well.

Jonas asked, "Daddy, how is Ms. Sommerton?"

Lorraine had always treated Jonas well. After what happened to Lorraine, Jonas was too anxious to even eat.

Mom tightly held Jonas' hand with a tense expression.

"How did this happen?" Mom asked.

I hadn't been able to explain everything clearly over the phone. As she glanced at Xavier and Yvonne, whose head was lowered with guilt, she immediately understood what happened.

She reached out to grab Mom's sleeve, but Mom lightly brushed her hand away.

Yvonne quickly withdrew her hand. "Mom."

"Yvonne, you've already divorced Cole. You're both living your own lives. It's no longer right for you to call me that." Mom said.

She patted Yvonne's hand. "You can come to me if you ever need help. I'll definitely do what I can for you. As for the children, since Cole has decided to start a company for Xavier, why can't you just agree to it? It's better for him to work with family than anywhere else. What do you think?"

Mom tried to reason with her patiently, but she turned away. "Mom, Xavier is my son. I once tried to reconcile with Cole, but he was the one who refused. There's no way I'm handing my son over to him."

Mom frowned, wondering why she didn't know about this.

She looked at me, but I was too busy pacing around to notice their conversation.
