Chapter 324:
Katelyn’s frustration was palpable as she practically seethed, grinding her teeth. “The proof is right in front of us, and yet you still defend her? Overindulgent parents raise spoiled brats. Do you really want Yelena to turn out that way p>
She spoke with such feigned concern, one would almost believe she was truly looking out for Yelena’s best interests.
Yelena’s gaze was icy, her eyes like icebergs. She didn’t flinch.
“And what exactly are you trying to say with all this? Maybe you should worry about your own daughter before pointing fingers.” She cast a pointed look at Bernice.
She had no need for this kind of hollow concern. Bernice shrank under the weight of Yelena’s stare, her nervousness evident as she lowered her gaze.
“You… you’re impossible, Yelena. Just impossible.” Katelyn’s face flushed with anger, her finger shaking as she pointed at Yelena.
As Katelyn’s finger neared Yelena’s face, Yelena brushed her hand aside with ease. Almost instinctively, her fingers lightly pressed against Katelyn’s wrist, taking her pulse.
Just as Yelena was about to let go of her grip, her brow furrowed slightly, her expression turning thoughtful. Katelyn, noticing Yelena’s momentary distraction, yanked her hand back and glared.
Before Katelyn could unleash her fury, Yelena’s voice cut through, calm and matter-of-fact. “You have breast cancer. You should go to the hospital for a thorough check-up p>
The room froze in stunned silence. Katelyn’s face twisted with outrage. “How dare you! I’m your aunt, and you have the audacity to curse me like this p>
Bernice was quick to jump in, her voice rising in indignation. “That’s beyond rude! How can you say such a thing about my mother? You’re completely out of line. Just wait until Grandma hears about this—you’ll regret it!” Her words were drenched in venom, painting Yelena as a malicious instigator.

Yelena’s icy gaze flicked to Bernice, her voice sharp and unyielding. “Out of line? I’m merely stating a fact. If you can’t handle the truth, that’s not my problem p>
Katelyn’s expression darkened further, her tone biting. “I had a full health check last year, and I’m perfectly fine. Stop spouting nonsense p>
Donna, standing to the side, looked uneasy. “Yelena…” she started hesitantly.
No matter how sharp Katelyn’s tongue was, such words towards her still seemed harsh.
Yelena placed a reassuring hand on her mother’s arm, her tone steady and resolute. “Mom, I’m serious. Her pulse indicates breast cancer, likely in the middle to late stages. She needs surgery as soon as possible to save her life p>
Turning her piercing gaze back to Katelyn, she added, “If you don’t believe me, get checked at the hospital. But if you wait too long, not even a miracle worker will be able to save you p>
Donna’s expression shifted, her faith in her daughter unwavering.
Her face softened with genuine worry as she turned to Katelyn. “Perhaps you should get checked. Just in case p>
“Are you out of your mind, Donna? How can you believe this? She’s just a young lady, not a doctor. What could she possibly know about diagnosing illnesses?” Katelyn crossed her arms, scoffing in disbelief.
Bella stepped in, her voice soothing yet skeptical. “Yelena, how would you know anything about medicine? Aunt Katelyn is healthy. There’s no way she has such a condition. Please stop saying things like this p>
Yelena’s lips curved into a faint, almost dismissive smile. “Suit yourself,” she said lightly. “But if you don’t get the surgery in time, you might not see the next year. Let’s find out together if it’s a curse—or the truth p>
Katelyn froze, her retort caught in her throat as she met Yelena’s unwavering gaze.
Could there really be something wrong?
“No, that’s ridiculous,” Katelyn told herself. If she were sick, surely there’d be symptoms—aches, fatigue, something she’d notice. But she felt fine. Perfectly fine. It had to be nonsense, Katelyn assured herself. Yelena was just stirring up trouble, nothing more.
