When Yelena heard that, her mind was immediately made up as she readily agreed.
“Alright, I’ll go back with you.” Slevin was a little surprised.
“That was quick.”
The woman snapped in irritation, “Stop spouting nonsense.”
Although she sounded decisive, she still felt troubled and as for Federick… she would deal with him later.
Yelena returned to Damoria overnight.She had initially planned to call Federick to tell him about her situation.
However, she felt a little angry when she thought of his temper tantrum when he left.So, she threw her phone back into her bag.
Forget it.She shouldn’t be calling him.
When she arrived at Damoria, Slevin caught sight of the uneasy look on her face and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yelena, I don’t know what you’re so anxious for.You’re clearly the one who got dumped.Shouldn’t you be the one demanding an explanation?”
“Why should I be the one going through all that fuss?”
Yelena clenched her hands as she spoke, keeping her voice as calm as possible.
“You women are really strange.Truly beyond saving,”
Slevin shook his head and sighed.
Then, he turned and drove away quietly.It wasn’t until they reached the Damazio villa that Yelena realized something.
“Hey, didn’t you say that you didn’t want to bother with the Damazios? So, why did you come here?”
“Of course, I have my own reason for being here.Why? Are you the only one that can come while I can’t?”
Slevin got out of the car and went to the passenger seat to open the door for her.
“Get down.Let’s head in together.Take it as a token of courage.”
Yelena dubiously got out of the car and raised her hand to knock on the door.
Although she was already right here, she still couldn’t make up her mind.
“You’re really taking your sweet time,”
Slevin muttered, shooting her a bland look.
Then, he raised his hand and rapped on the door.
“Who is it?”
A voice from inside sounded, followed by the sound of footsteps.
The moment the door opened; Yelena was dumbfounded.
The person right in front of her was Hank’s mother, Simone.
Simone looked at Yelena, and a trace of awkwardness flashed in her eyes as she spoke, “Yelena? Is that you?”
Yelena replied, “Mrs.Damazio, I’m here to see Hank.I heard that he’s very sick.”
She held an inexplicable affection for Simone since she treated her like her own daughter.
Alas, Fate was a fickle woman and their relationship eventually fell apart over time.
Now they were nothing more but familiar strangers.
Simone’s face twisted into an uncomfortable expression after hearing Yelena’s explanation.
“Yelena, you should know that Hank is sick from the pandemic going around.What if you get infected after visiting him?”
Yelena shook her head, “I’m not afraid.It doesn’t matter even if I get sick.”
Simone’s heart softened upon seeing her gentle yet earnest demeanor.She’s such a wonderful girl.It would’ve been great if Yelena could be Simone’s daughter-in-law.What a shame…
“My child, I know you really love him,”
Simone looked at her red eyes, feeling distressed.
“But you have to know that the two of you have broken up.I know that you’re very reluctant to part with him.However, it’s not appropriate for you to barge into his life like this any longer.”
Yelena suddenly felt a rush of emotions and stepped forward to hold Simone’s hand.
“Mrs.Damazio, I know what you mean, and I know that since we’ve broken up, I shouldn’t ask about his private life or his situation.But you know that I’m always worried about him.Will you please let me meet him?”
At this point, Simone honestly didn’t have the heart to stop her and could only allow her entry.
When she turned to look at Slevin, Simone looked at his familiar face in bewilderment.
“May I ask who this is?” Slevin smiled pleasantly.
“Hello, Mrs.Damazio.I’m Yelena’s friend.You can call me Slade.”
Even Slevin himself couldn’t understand what urged him to give Simone a fake name instead of his real one.
When Simone heard his reply, she figured that she was getting on in years, seeing things when there wasn’t anything to see.
So, she nodded and let him in.
Simone motioned to the innermost room upstairs.
“He’s in that room, but you need to prepare yourself.He might not open the door for you.”
Yelena’s eyes filled with tears.
“I understand.Thank you, Mrs.Damazio.”
With that, Yelena headed quickly to the room and knocked on the door gently.
“Didn’t I tell you? I don’t want to eat lunch today.”
When Yelena heard the familiar voice, she almost choked up on her emotions.
She hesitated for a moment before mustering her courage, saying, “Hank, it’s me, Yelena.”
“Oh, it’s you.”
Hank didn’t find her appearance suspicious.
Instead, he replied disdainfully, “I really didn’t expect you to be this shameless.”
It was straight-up ridicule.
Yelena’s face paled.
“I’m not shameless.I just wanted to see how you’re doing.”
Hank coughed harshly and continued to answer casually, “What about me? Does it have anything to do with you?”
Yelena hesitated.
“I know that it doesn’t…”
