Together Apart: Her White Moonlight Has Returned Too-Chapter 184: You’re Still the Unlucky One

Vera Yves avoided his gaze and sat down by the dining table, "I’m just skeptical of your culinary skills."

Winston Valentine sat down next to her, "Why not have a taste and find out?"

Vera Yves scooped a spoonful of porridge and savored it carefully.

The villa was very quiet, and Winston Valentine inexplicably felt a bit nervous, "How is it?"

Seeing his serious expression, Vera Yves found it quite rare.

She questioned suspiciously, "Did you buy this porridge? You’re wearing an apron just to trick me into thinking you made it."

Winston Valentine breathed a sigh of relief and ruffled the top of her hair, "Dr. Yves has a unique way of complimenting someone."

Vera Yves chuckled slightly, "Actually, there’s still room for improvement."

After breakfast, Vera Yves checked Weibo and found that all the trending topics related to her had been taken down.

However, a fashion sponsor issued a statement supporting the freedom to dress and calling for a boycott of toxic fan cultures.

Many influencers teamed up, openly and implicitly criticizing Jane Shea for not restraining her fans. Jane Shea’s studio had to issue a statement urging fans to chase stars rationally and respect others’ freedom to dress.

Moreover, many fashion bloggers analyzed from every angle that Vera Yves was more suited to that outfit than Jane Shea.

Even the show’s production team got several trending topics, and a niche TV show attracted a lot of buzz.

Miles Monroe’s law firm’s official account also issued a statement last night, denying all kinds of rumors with Jane Shea. He is currently single and had amicably split with Jane Shea over two years ago, without any third parties involved in their relationship.

Just recently, Jane Shea officially announced a relationship and hinted her fans that she reconciled with her first love, only to be directly refuted by Miles Monroe.

Jane Shea’s fans, already frustrated with nowhere to vent, focused their attacks, calling him a scumbag.

Recently, Jane Shea has been in talks for a major international movie, with an investment of 300 million. Although not officially announced yet, it is pretty much set in stone.

Moreover, the movie’s director guarantees box office success. As long as Jane Shea stars in it, she has a very high chance of winning awards and gaining fame on the big screen.

Fans were using this movie to hype her up, aiming for Jane Shea to shine and focus on her career.

The movie’s official Weibo account then went on to announce another actress, Leila Lane. Everyone in the entertainment circle knows the two are arch-enemies.

Jane Shea was once again humiliated, facing setbacks in love and career, subjected to ridicule across the internet.

Overnight, the tide had changed, and the online buzz had turned into a fan war between the two camps.

Vera Yves put away her phone, Winston Valentine offered to drive her to the hospital. On the way, his phone rang a few times; Winston Valentine just glanced at it and swiped to reject the call.

After a while, the phone rang again, and he still didn’t answer, finally he just turned off the phone.

Curious, Vera Yves looked at him, "Who is calling?"

Winston Valentine stroked her cheek, "An unimportant person."

Vera Yves thought of Cecilia Vaughn. Linda Young had said that shortly after the engagement party, Cecilia Vaughn was sent abroad by The Valentine Family, probably never to return.

Mark Yves had already undergone a re-examination, confirming that there were no health issues and could be discharged.

Hannah Hayes and Harry Yves came to pick him up from the hospital.

Harry Yves wanted to take Mark Yves to visit Mia Tate, but Mark Yves didn’t really want to go. He went last night and got hit by Mia Tate’s father, without exchanging a single word with Mia Tate.

He actually didn’t know what to say; if he mentioned breaking up now, she’d definitely burst into tears.

Vera Yves’ gaze swept over their faces and suddenly realized that Mark Yves and Harry Yves actually looked very much alike, especially their eyebrow contours, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Could it be that the blood type mix-up was just a misunderstanding?

Hannah Hayes was helping Mark Yves pack, and Vera Yves walked over to her, "Mom, what’s your blood type?"

Hannah Hayes paused slightly in her actions, "Didn’t we check during a physical before? I think it’s AB type? Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just in case of a situation like Mia Tate’s..."

"What are you overthinking for? No one in our family has such a rare blood type." Hannah Hayes glanced at her, "Did you sleep at his place again last night?"

Vera Yves’ face showed some embarrassment, "A reporter came to the hospital."

"You say it like if there were no reporters, he wouldn’t want to whisk you away." Hannah Hayes’ tone was disdainful, "Don’t forget to take precautions. If you get pregnant and he doesn’t take responsibility, it’ll be your misfortune!"

Vera Yves looked even more embarrassed.

Harry Yves soon returned with Mark Yves, his face bearing a fresh scratch.

"Trying to solve problems with money. How could I have such a useless son as you!" Harry Yves was so angry his face turned pale, "Breaking up with her at this moment, do you have any conscience?"

Mark Yves said indifferently, "When she was well, neither you nor Mom would let me marry her. Now that her leg is like this, you’d be even less willing. We’d better give her some tangible compensation."

Hannah Hayes noticed the injury on Mark Yves’ face, a bit distressed, "Are they saying a million is too little? Did you clarify that we’ve already covered all her medical expenses, and we’ll also handle the rehabilitation costs? The million is an extra we are giving."

"I said two million, and they still refused."

Harry Yves disapproved and gave Hannah Hayes a look, "He’s like this because you’ve spoiled him!"

"How have I spoiled him?" Hannah Hayes’ expression changed as well, "No compensation? Should we let him marry her?"

Seeing the two were about to argue, Vera Yves stepped forward, "Alright, the car is already waiting downstairs. Whatever needs to be said, say it at home."

The family of four walked to the elevator.

As the elevator doors opened, they saw Mason Monroe and Penelope Langley standing inside.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Mason Monroe was the first to greet Harry Yves, who responded politely.

Vera Yves hesitated for a moment and greeted politely, "Uncle Monroe, Aunt Lana."

Penelope Langley’s gaze fell on Vera Yves, her tone carrying a hint of disdain that she herself hadn’t noticed, "Are you here to see Miles?"

Vera Yves’ expression turned a bit colder.

On the side, Hannah Hayes let out a cold laugh, "When did Mrs. Langley enjoy making jokes so much? The hospital is so big, only those with the Monroe surname can come? We can’t? Stop being self-centered; our Vera has already started a new relationship, whether Miles Monroe lives or dies has nothing to do with her!"

Penelope Langley was taken aback, her face flushed, "Is there really a need to speak so harshly?"

"You make things ugly, and you’re afraid of harsh words? Does everyone really care to be the Monroe family’s daughter-in-law!" Hannah Hayes straightened her back, "Are you getting out or not? We’re still waiting to get in!"

Mason Monroe helplessly glanced at Penelope Langley and stepped out of the elevator.

Penelope Langley hurriedly followed along.

The two walked one after the other into Miles Monroe’s ward.

Zoe Monroe was just helping Miles Monroe get out of bed. Seeing them enter, she was a bit surprised, "Uncle, Auntie, why are you here?"

Penelope Langley looked at Miles Monroe displeasedly, "Why did you hide your illness from us?"

Miles Monroe’s expression was indifferent, "It’s nothing serious."

"Zoey, help me go out."

"You’re already like this, and you still want to go? Where to?" Penelope Langley frowned, "Do you want to see Vera Yves?"

Miles Monroe’s face darkened, "This is my own business."

"She left without even saying goodbye and said whatever happens to you is none of her business in the future. Why are you still shamelessly going?"
