Chapter 61

On Tuesday evening, Yvonne rode in Anna’s family car to the Lawson house.

As they walked toward the living room. Yvonne spotted the black dog from last time-the one that had eaten the

flowers she had grown. The dog was tied to a tree, its tail wagging furiously. If no one was holding it back, it

probably would have launched into the air.

Yvonne felt a bit nervous. She hugged her little kitten purse tightly, her eyes darting around, constantly keeping

an eye on the dog’s movements.

Seeing her unease, Fred crouched down and gently covered Teddy's mouth with his hands, then gave Yvonne a

reassuring look

Teddy, looking at her with longing, seemed to be drooling at the sight of her.

The living room was filled with people. When Yvonne entered, she felt a little shy.

At the center of the room stood an elderly man with gray hair, looking frail and supported by someone.

Yvonne recognized him immediately-this was Anna's grandfather.

She tightened her grip on her bag and softly said, “Hello.”

Grayson walked over. letting out a long sigh, guilt and do. | had to cto you.”

Yvonne's innocent gaze seemed confused, so Grayson’s expression softened as he said sincerely, “I won't take

Now Yvonne understood-he was offering her money.

She immediately shook her head and said in her sweet, high-pitched voice, “No, no! | don’t want money_

She opened her bag and pulled out the flowers inside, offering them one by one.

“These are for you, the honest little girl continued, not stopping until her bag was empty. Her large, sincere eyes

| don’t need any money. My family has plenty. I'll bring more tomorrow.”

Skylar opened his mouth to protest, but Anna immediately took Yvonne in her arms, her voice full of affection.

“Yvonne you're so kind to us!”

Yvonne grinned, holding Anna’s hand tightly.

She liked Anna and didn’t want her to feel sad

Seeing the deep bond between the two girls, Skylar, feeling moved, decided not to bring up the money again.

The child didn’t understand these things-he would have to talk to her father about it.

He picked up two vases and started placing the flowers Yvonne had brought into them, setting them next to the

fish tank.

While he was busy with that, Yvonne stood nearby, her eyes glued to the fish in the tank.

It was huge

Its appearance wasn't particularly beautiful-it was a bit frightening, actually. But what really caught her attention

was how miserable it looked. It wouldn't even eat the smaller fish swimming next to it, and its face was one of

utter exhaustion

Yet, when the flowers were placed nearby, the fish stirred. Its massive body floated up and down in the water, as

Grayson, watching this with a pained look on his face, immediately rushed to the fish tank, pressing his face

against the glass. to get a closer look.

“Old friend” he muttered, “what do you want? Save your strength, just rest. Letstick the flowers to the side

of the tank for you”

The fish couldn’t speak, but as soon as it regained sstrength, it began to thrash around, desperately trying

to jump out

Grayson instructed someone to grab stape. He pulled the flowers from the vases and one by one stuck

them to the side

of the tank

Yvonne, seeing all this, felt a deep pang in her heart.

She turned and noticed that Anna's eyes were already red, tears brimming as she looked at her grandfather

In all the tYvonne had known Anna, she had rarely seen her cry. Only these past two days, due to the fish's

condition, had she witnessed her tears.

Yvonne, feeling sad, stared at the fish that hadn’t eaten or drunk, her big eyes flickering.

“Anna” she whispered, leaning in close to Anna's car when the adults weren't paying attention, “I can try to save

it, but you can’t let anyone see?

Anru turned, her tear-filled eyes searching Yvonne's face. “Really?”

“Mm-hmm” Yvonne nodded earnestly.

| trust you!

Without another word, Anna ran straight to Grayson, standing on tiptoe to whisper something in his ear

Grayson’s eyes lit up with joy, and he waved to the people around the tank, signaling them to leave.

“Everyone, out! We all need to leave”

The people who had been placing the flowers in the vases stared at him, confused, but Grayson didn’t explain

further.

He ushered everyone out, then moved a chair to the table. He took Anna’s hand and left the room.

As the door closer behind them, Anna quickly returned, whispering to Yvonne. “Yvonne, it's okay even if the fish

isn’t saved. Just be careful, it might bite you

Once Annu left and the door was shut, the room fell dark

“Don’t jump out or bite me,” she said softly, setting her little hands on the edge of the tank. “I'm here to help

you.”

Although the fish probably couldn't understand her, she said it anyway.

She stretched up on tiptoe, trying to direct her magical power into the water.

After a long while, Yvonne's arms began to ache, and her legs wobbled with fatigue.

She stopped, looking up at the fish.

“How do you feel now?” she asked with

The fish swam a circle in the tank as though it understood her. It flapped its body, sending a splash of water

flying from the

tank.

And, just her luck-it all splashed straight into Yvonne's face.

With a loud splash, her hair and clothes were instantly soaked.

Yvonne remained calm, carefully stepping down from the chair. Once she had steadied herself on the floor, she

muttered, “So, you have the energy to splash water now. That's a good sign, right?”

The fish splashed her again.

Yvonne wiped the water from her face and skipped to the door, calling for it to be opened.

The people waiting anxiously outside froze when they saw her drenched appearance.

Yvonne, what happened?” Anna asked, her eyes wide with worry, as she rushed to wipe the water from Yvonne's

face. “Did you fall in the fish tank?”

Yvonne looked up with a smile, her eyes twinkling. “No, | didn’t fall in. It was the fish.”

Hearing this, the Lawson family entered the room.

The once-listless fish swam a loop in the tank, and upon spotting Yvonne, it flicked its tail again, sending more

water toward

her.

This time, the quick-witted Yvonne saw it coming and hurriedly ducked out of the way.

Seeing the fish so lively again, Grayson'’s face broke into a joyful smile as he hurried over to the tank, pressing

his hand against the glass with tears in his eyes.

Skylar, turning to Yvonne, quickly instructed Anna, “Anna, take Yvonne to your room to change.”

Anna happily took Yvonne's hand. “Yvonne, I'll take you.”

Back in her room, Anna wiped away her

After changing into dry clothes, Skylar arranged for a driver to take Yvonne home. Meanwhile, the Lawson family

“Dad, your heart problem’s fixed now. You should go to the hospital for a few days, Skylar teased.

Grayson reluctantly shifted his gaze from the tank. “T’ll go, but just for three days. | need to get back to check on

my fish.”

“Fine, three days it is.”

The next morning, before heading to work. Skylar personally drove him.

By 5 PM. the roads were relatively clear. A convoy of large trucks passed them, and Skylar, not in a rush, waited

for them to clear.

But just as he was about to step on the gas, a small white car coming from the opposite direction suddenly lost

control and veered straight toward them.

Skylar swerved the wheel, trying to avoid the out-of-control vehicle.

But it was too late. The car crashed into the passenger side, and Grayson was knocked unconscious, his head

bleeding. heavily.

As they waited for the ambulance, bystanders helped move Grayson to the side, and the driver of the white car,

who had caused the crash, reeked of alcohol.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and Grayson was lifted into it.

Inside, the doctors worked swiftly, wrapping the heavily bleeding areas with bandages and gauze, while

continuously performing chest compressions. But Grayson’s face grew paler and paler with every passing

moment.

Skylar felt a sinking feeling in his chest, realizing the gravity of the situation. He immediately called home.

In the emergency room, he sat outside, his phone buzzing incessantly in his hand. Family members were rushing

over.

When he saw it was a call from home, he quickly answered.

Keenan's voice, panicked and grief-stricken, crackled through the phone. “Sir, Grayson’s fish... the one he kept...

it just jumped out of its tank and died.”

Skylar froze, his entire body shaking as if struck by a bolt of lightning. His already pale lips quivered, but no

words came

Half a minute passed, and Skylar remained motionless, still holding the phone to his ear, lost in disbelief.

Just then, the door to the ER swung open with a sharp ding, and several doctors emerged, pushing Grayson's

bed. The patient has stabilized, and his consciousness is returning. Please assist in transferring him to a ward,”

said a doctor. For a moment, he couldn't think straight. Was it a good or bad thing that Yvonne had saved the

fish?

If she hadn't rescued it, the fish might've lived a little longer. But now that it had been saved, it had enough

strength to leap from the tank, once again shielding Grayson from danger.

For them, it seemed like a stroke of luck. But for Grayson, Skylar feared it might be something he would never be
