Chapter 658:
Charli’s emotions bubbled up. She hugged Yelena tightly and cried—a release long overdue.
She had kept her emotions bottled up for so long, but now, finally, they overflowed.
From the moment her mother fell ill, Charli wore a brave mask, pretending everything was okay. But deep down, she was overwhelmed with sorrow. Charli had always leaned on her mother for strength, and every effort she made was fueled by the dream of creating a brighter future for both of them.
Now, with her mother unwell, Charli felt like a lost child, adrift in a world without direction.
Yelena held Charli in her arms, offering a comforting embrace that spoke words Charli couldn’t voice.
The next day, Yelena performed the surgery on Charli’s mother. It stretched on for over ten hours, but in the end, it was completed successfully.
When Charli saw Yelena emerge from the operating room, she rushed over, her heart pounding. “Yelena, how’s my mom p>
“The surgery went incredibly well p>
“Ooh…” Charli wrapped her arms around Yelena in a tight embrace, her tears flowing freely, her sobs soft and rhythmic. “How can I ever thank you p>
Yelena smiled gently, her gaze steady. “Now you have the chance to p>
Charli’s tears subsided, but her gaze remained fixed on Yelena, her anticipation growing. She shifted nervously, waiting for Yelena to speak again.
Yelena tilted her head thoughtfully. “If only there was a hot cup of coffee right now, a cappuccino would hit the spot p>
Charli blinked, surprised. She had expected Yelena to ask for something grander—something more meaningful—but a cappuccino?

It seemed so simple. Yet, it was something she could easily provide.
“Are you sure that’s all you want?” Charli asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yelena gave a small nod, her expression serene. “If you could grab me something to eat too, I’d be grateful p>
She placed a hand on her stomach with a playful smirk. “I’m a bit hungry p>
Charli laughed softly, her initial worry easing. “Alright. I’ll get it right away p>
But just as Charli stepped toward the elevator, Yelena’s voice stopped her mid-step.
“You don’t have to rush for me,” Yelena said warmly. “Go check on your mom first. I can manage. You can treat me later p>
Charli’s heart surged with relief. Her mother was her first concern, and Yelena’s kindness gave her one less thing to stress about. With that thought, she began running toward the ward.
Halfway there, Charli came to a halt, her brow furrowed in thought. She spun around, the corners of her lips twitching with a smile. “Hey, Yelena,” she called back. “Let’s grab a meal sometime. My treat, of course p>
Yelena met her gaze and gave a simple nod. “Sure p>
With a quiet chuckle, Yelena headed toward the vending machine, her mind clear and calm. As she approached, she noticed a woman standing in front of the coffee machine, shifting awkwardly, unsure of how to make a purchase.
“Hey, could you help me with the purchase?” the woman asked someone beside her for help.
“I don’t have any cash,” the woman muttered, her tone tinged with embarrassment.
“Then use your phone or your credit card for the payment. It’s not rocket science.” The person shot an irritated glance at the woman. “Well? Are you buying something, or just here to clog up the line p>
