Chapter 178 Everything’s in the Past
Afterward, there was a long silence between Idris and I. It was too quiet, and I did not feel
like talking, so I focused solely on driving.
“Is that scar from when you and Lucas fell off the cliff?” He suddenly asked out of the blue.
I did not immediately grasp what he meant and responded instinctively, “Yes, and…?”
Realizing what he was referring to, I frowned instinctively, about to say something, but his
deep, cold voice came again. “For so many years, have I been nothing but a joke to you?”
I pursed my l*ps, remaining silent.
He let out a bitter laugh, self–deprecatingly saying, “A mistaken identity, protecting the
wrong person, and then hurting you.”
“Mr. Young,” I began, my voice steady. “Everything’s in the past now. Saving you back
then was only because I couldn’t abandon someone who was in the same abyss as me. I
didn’t tell you later because I felt it was unnecessary. Even if it hadn’t been you that day,
it would have been someone else. So, you don’t owe me anything. Moreover, when the
Scott Corporation was in trouble, you and your grandmother helped us out, solving a
critical issue for my father. We don’t owe each other anything.”
Taking a deep breath, I added, “As for the other things, you don’t need to feel indebted

That unborn child… Perhaps it was best that I miscarried. To say it was not painful would
be a lie, but what was done was done. Whether it was out of spite or revenge, I had acted
and now, I had let go.
Holding the steering wheel, I glanced at Idris‘ right hand from the corner of my eye. The
wound I had viciously inflicted was now healed, leaving only a pale pink scar where the
scab had fallen off.
An unborn child in exchange for his permanently damaged right hand, was perhaps not a
fair exchange.
However, it was all in the past now.
Idris’ expression was somber, devoid of emotion. I did not try to probe his thoughts, nor
did I have the interest to. Whatever he was thinking now, he was now just an insignificant
person
to me.
Perhaps not knowing what else to say, Idris remained silent until we reached the hospital.
At the hospital, in the ward, Madam Young had already woken up. Emily was by her
bedside, feeding her some soup. Seeing us, Madam Young beckoned me over, her face
warm and kind. ” Yvette, you’re here. Come, have you had breakfast yet?”
I nodded and looked at her noticeably thinner face. “Grandma, are you feeling better?”
She hummed in affirmation and said with a smile, “Much better. Mr. Zachary told me about
that day. Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise, I might have really gone to meet Sir Young
down under.”
I quickly shook my head and said, “Not at all.” Originally, I wanted to offer some blessings,

but since I was not good at pleasantries, I could only utter those few dry words.

Madam Young did not mind. She smiled and chatted with me about other things. Emily
brought up the idea of going to the holiday villa once Madam Young felt better. Madam
Young, in a good mood, immediately nodded in agreement. She looked at me and said,
“Yvette, you’ve been quite busy lately. It’s perfect timing. Let’s go together. I’ve heard
that the resort Iddy has developed has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. It’s much
warmer there than here in Lake City.”
I nodded with a smile, not finding any excuse at that moment.
Perhaps because Madam Young was in good spirits, the atmosphere in the room was

Instinctively, I paused and looked up.
Facing Idris’s cool expression, he spoke softly. “Try it, it’s sweet.”
His actions and demeanor seemed too natural, and for a moment, I could not find words to
refuse. I accepted the apple, and Madam Young, seeing this, smiled with pursed l*ps.
I felt somewhat awkward, but it was not appropriate to say anything.
Fortunately, Liam knocked and entered the room. Seeing everyone there, his gaze fell on
Idris and paused slightly. He seemed to have something to say, but instead, he turned to
inquire about Madam Young’s condition.
Madam Young cheerfully responded and started talking about his daughter.
Liam responded to everything, and after chatting for a bit, he suddenly turned to Idris and
said, “Oh, by the way, Iddy, Mr. Zachary is outside. It seems there’s something urgent. You
might want to check on it.”
Before Idris could respond, Madam Young frowned and asked, “What’s the matter? He’s
only been here for a few minutes, why is there another issue? What can’t Mr. Zachary
handle that requires Iddy’s attention?”
