Chapter 987:
His warm breath brushed against her neck, sending a shiver through her body.
Maggie’s voice gently interrupted as she walked over. Spotting Yelena and Austin in a close embrace, she quickly turned away, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “Oh, I’m sorry for interrupting!” Her excitement bubbled higher than even Yelena and Austin’s as she cherished seeing them together.
Realizing her mistake, Maggie whispered to herself, “Oh dear, my phone! I should’ve recorded that p>
Pausing briefly, she added, “I’ll just go get it p>
Although she spoke under her breath, both Yelena and Austin caught her words.
With a playful nudge, Yelena pushed Austin slightly.
He looked at her with a feigned expression of despair. “Mom’s trying to give us a moment p>
Yelena knew this, yet the sudden interruption made her cheeks warm with a shy blush.
Switching topics, Austin asked, “You mentioned a new treatment plan today. How’s Grandma feeling p>
Yelena nodded, her lips curving into a smile.
“Don’t worry; it’s showing promise. And believe it or not, I have Leanna to thank for that p>
Confusion flickered across Austin’s face.
“Leanna has a cure? How come I didn’t know p>
Yelena laughed lightly. “Just a figure of speech. She wore all her designer clothes at once today. Each piece was gorgeous on its own, but together, they clashed horribly p>
Continuing, she explained, “It was a revelation. I’ve been too cautious, stacking treatments that only compounded Aitana’s discomfort. By streamlining them, I’ve made her more comfortable. It’s about taking small, thoughtful steps, which are gradually improving her condition p>
Gratefully, Austin squeezed her hand. “Thank you for all that you’re doing p>

“It’s really nothing,” Yelena replied, brushing off the praise.
She then shared another piece of her day. “I bumped into a friend who invited me to her place tomorrow p>
Interest lit up Austin’s eyes. “Should I come with you p>
He was eager to join her, unwilling to let her feel isolated despite his hectic schedule.
Yelena gently refused. “There’s no need; she’s a close friend p>
Accepting her decision, Austin added, “If she needs any help, though, just tell me p>
In Kheley, Austin’s word could resolve almost any problem.
Yelena valued his offer, recalling Donna’s advice that even the strongest should occasionally show vulnerability to strengthen their bonds with people around them. With a warm smile, she agreed. “Okay p>
Following the directions Ryann had given, Yelena found herself at her office the next day.
The office buzzed with the hum of construction, a hive of activity as workers put their finishing touches on the renovation.
Ryann caught sight of Yelena and immediately made her way over to greet her.
“Yelena, you’ve finally graced us with your presence! Take a look at this layout—something feels off, like there’s a piece of the puzzle missing. And don’t even get me started on the decor. I can’t seem to land on a direction,” Ryann confessed, her nerves clearly frayed.
Yelena took a thoughtful moment, scanning the space with a discerning eye before offering her insights.
