Chapter 13
The bodyguard sounded surprised.
"What did you say?" Zach was taken aback.
He quickly turned to look at the body. At this moment, the boy, who had blood oozing from his mouth, was no longer bleeding. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately crouched next to Yolanda.
"I'm sorry for my words just now. Please save him. You must let him live!" Zach pleaded.
"Of course, I will save him. You don't need to act this way." While speaking, Yolanda had already inserted acupuncture needles into the boy's PC6. "But he needs surgery as soon as possible. I can only stop his bleeding and allow him to hold on until he enters the operating room."
"Alright. As long as you can help him hold on until the ambulance arrives, I can promise you anything," said Zach seriously.
Yolanda didn't say anything. She focused on inserting the acupuncture needles into the boy's acupoints. At this moment, Yvonne, who was standing in the near distance, was bewildered.
What was going on? Yolanda knew how to carry out acupuncture treatment? She could save people?
How was it possible? She had been in the juvenile detention center for three years and never studied in high school. How could she know how to perform first aid?
While Yvonne was staring at Yolanda's back in astonishment, Yolanda had already gotten up.
"The bleeding has stopped," Yolanda said.
"That's great! Thank you!" Zach's eyes began to water because Evan was the most important person in his life.
No one knew how despondent he felt when he saw Evan lying in a puddle of blood. At the same time, the siren of the ambulance sounded nearby. Soon, the ambulance arrived.
"Hurry up and send him to the hospital."
Yolanda put the acupuncture needles back into the cloth bag before putting it away. Now that the ambulance had arrived, she was no longer needed there.
"Wait!" Zach seemed to have remembered something. He ran over to his car and took out a box before handing it to Yolanda. "This is for you to express my gratitude. When my son recovers, I'll send you a bigger gift!"
"By the way, your name is Yolanda?" Zach asked.
Yolanda nodded. "Yeah."
She skipped the formalities and took the box from Zach.
After Zach gave her the box, he guided the medical personnel to carry Evan up the ambulance. Meanwhile, Yvonne was still standing in the same spot, dazed.
Upon seeing Yolanda walk past her and walked toward the car, Yvonne returned to her senses and went after her.
"Where did you go?"
When Yolanda opened the door and got into the car as Diana questioned her angrily.
Moments ago, the driver had found an accessible road nearby. But because Yolanda and Yvonne hadn't returned, their car needed to stay in the same spot.
"I went to watch what was going on," responded Yolanda indifferently. She didn't tell Diana that she saved someone moments ago.
Even if she told Diana, Diana wouldn't believe her. Besides, if she told Diana, the latter would ask further questions. For the time being, she couldn't give a reasonable explanation.
It was just that Yolanda didn't know what Yvonne would say later. After hearing Yolanda's answer, Diana was furious but had nowhere to vent her anger.
"We're in a rush. How could you still be in the mood to watch what happened? You should hurry up and come up with a way to please Grandma and Philip later during Grandma's birthday party.
"You have nothing in your brain. Do you expect me to keep helping you pave the way?" The more Diana looked at Yolanda, the more she felt the latter was an eyesore. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
At this moment, the good impression Diana had of Yolanda because of what happened in the jewelry store and art exhibition had disappeared.
Once again, Diana wondered how great her life would be if she only gave birth to one daughter. Yolanda was just useless trash! Because Yolanda was useless, Diana was ridiculed among the wealthy women.
The more Diana thought about it, the angrier she became. She decided to look toward another side as she did not want to see Yolanda.
At this time, Yvonne got into the car silently. She didn't say anything or complain to Diana. Upon noticing that, Yolanda glanced at her, astonished.
Yvonne didn't seem to notice Yolanda's gaze and remained deep in thought. She hadn't recovered from the shock yet. She didn't understand why Yolanda knew how to carry out acupuncture treatment and perform first aid.
She had been in school for three years, but it was impossible for her to have access to such knowledge, let alone Yolanda, who had been in the juvenile detention center for three years.
Thus, she still couldn't accept the fact that Yolanda stopped Evan's bleeding.
Soon, Yvonne thought of another possibility. What if it was all a coincidence? What if Evan wasn't severely injured? Even if Yolanda didn't take action, the bleeding would have stopped. So, Yolanda only took advantage of it. It wasn't her credit at all!
It was the only reason that made sense. Otherwise, there was no other explanation as to why Yolanda knew medicine.
"Yvonne! Yvonne!"
While Yvonne was spaced out, the car had arrived at the destination. Upon seeing that Yvonne remained seated, Diana pulled her arm.
"Huh? What happened?" Yvonne raised her head in confusion.
It was only then that she realized they had arrived at the entrance of the hotel where the Henderson family held the birthday party.
"It's time to get off. What's wrong with you? I noticed that you had been absent-minded the moment you got into the car. Are you unwell?"
Diana was a bit worried. If Yvonne was unwell and couldn't attend the birthday party, Diana couldn't act proudly and enjoy the worship of the other relatives.
If everyone's attention was on Yolanda, not only couldn't Diana be in the limelight, but she might also be humiliated. Upon thinking of the possibility of that happening, she had the urge to strangle Yolanda to death.
Yvonne quickly put on a sweet smile. "No, I was just pondering about my team's research topic and spaced out. Mom, you don't need to worry about me. Let's hurry inside. Don't make Grandma wait."
"Alright!" When Diana saw Yvonne's reaction, she was relieved.
As expected, Yvonne was sensible and considerate. Then, she turned to look at Yolanda, who was a bit chubby, and couldn't help but frown. This time, she regretted letting Yolanda out of the juvenile detention center again.
When Diana and the others entered a private room in the hotel, the other relatives and guests were already there. As it was Vivian's 66th birthday, of course, the birthday party had to be grand.
Thus, not only was the birthday party held at a famous five-star hotel in Riverdale City, but all distant relatives were invited as well.
Once Diana and the others entered, they became the center of attention. Among the crowd, a middle-aged woman in pink clothes got up and said, "How could you be late?"
Her hair was curled and had been dyed champagne. Because she was wearing a two-carat diamond ring, she would brush her hair every few minutes.
The middle-aged woman was Alice Lawson, the third son of the Henderson family's wife. Most of the people sitting at the table she was sitting at were the female relatives of the Henderson family.
Once she had spoken up, a few people followed suit.
"That's right! It's understandable that Harold can't make it because he's on a business trip, but you arrived late. This is inappropriate!"
"Mrs. Henderson Senior treats your family the best. If you take this party lightly, she will be sad!"
