Chapter 774
Chapter 774:
The doctor quickly assessed the woman’s condition and realized it was serious. There was no proper medication available on the ship, so she needed to be taken to a hospital.
Once Yelena saw the woman’s condition was under control and that the subsequent responsibilities were no longer hers, she decided to head to the banquet hall to find her family.
At that moment, Cayson, phone in hand and looking worried, spotted Yelena and hurried over anxiously. “Yelena, why did it take you so long in the restroom? Are you alright? Are you feeling sick p>
Yelena said, “I’m okay. I just had an accident p>
“Hi, Cayson,” Austin said, greeting him warmly.
It was only then that Cayson noticed Austin. His eyes narrowed as he glanced at the suit jacket Yelena was wearing. It seemed like he had put two and two together, and his expression shifted instantly.
Cayson pulled Yelena behind him and said to Austin in a stern tone, “What happened? What did you do to my sister p>
Softly, Yelena tugged at Cayson’s sleeve, murmuring, “He’s not to blame p>
Cayson gave Yelena a puzzled look. He was aware that Yelena hadn’t known Austin for long, yet she was quick to shield him. He wondered what her actions would be if their relationship deepened.
“There’s no need to protect him. I won’t excuse anyone for causing you distress p>
Austin, looking remorseful, said, “I apologize; it was my oversight.” Austin’s apology seemed heartfelt, as though he was accepting fault without contest.

Cayson’s initial fury simmered down despite his readiness to lash out. Yelena glanced at Austin, finding his apology somewhat perplexing. It wasn’t his fault, so why was he taking the blame?
Perceiving her thoughts, Austin explained, “Had I been more attentive, or had I accompanied you, you might have avoided this situation p>
Cayson hesitated, then turned to Yelena, asking, “What exactly happened p>
Yelena quickly explained to Cayson what had just happened, though she chose to gloss over the risky details. She didn’t mention that she had climbed out of the window and nearly fallen into the sea. Cayson, sharp as ever, suspected there was more to the story. He eyed Yelena with concern, relieved she was unharmed. The thought of a worse outcome was unsettling.
Cayson assured her, “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Whoever locked that door and posted the sign will be found p>
Yelena reassured him, “If it was done deliberately, there will be evidence. We’ll uncover the truth p>
Cayson acknowledged her confidence and mentioned, “Jaxson has arranged some fresh clothes for you. Go change p>
“Alright p>
Yelena retreated to the room to freshen up and change, which would take some time.
Cayson guarded the door, and surprisingly, Austin stood there too, both positioned like guards.
Cayson glanced at Austin, his eyebrows twitching in slight disapproval.
He didn’t seem pleased to see Austin standing there.
