Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 582 A Vengeful Act

"Yozan!" Cecelia exclaimed as she rushed over to him.

She quivered with fear when she felt the back of his head. Her palm had been dyed red.

Though she repeated his name a few more times, he didn't respond at all.

"What should I do…" Cecelia was so overwhelmed that she couldn't think straight. All of a sudden, a

hand pressed down on hers and a weak voice called out, "Help me call 911." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Cecelia smacked herself. Hang on. We're right outside the hospital! Why would I need to call 911?!

She looked around and spotted a doctor in the distance, so she immediately walked up to him and

tugged his sleeve to get him to follow her. "Doctor! There's an injured person over there. Come quick!"

The doctor was startled and confused but he followed her anyway. He only realized the severity of the

situation when he saw Yozan slumped under the tree.

He quickly called a few people over and they brought Yozan to the emergency room.

Throughout Yozan's treatment, Cecelia remained on the side with a look of guilt.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you."

"I know. It's fine," Yozan responded evenly with an unreadable expression.

"I…"

Cecelia felt remorseful, so she softly asked, "What can I do to make it up to you?"

"Marry me," Yozan replied.

Cecelia was struck dumb. She didn't respond. It was clear that she was displeased by his answer.

"Just stay here and take care of me."

This option was… a little more bearable.

"Fine. Since I'm the reason why you got hurt, I'll look after you for the time being while you're at the

hospital."

Before Cecelia could say anything else, Yozan's phone rang.

His expression shifted slightly when he heard the voice that came through.

"I'll ask for permission to take some time off work." Cecelia was about to make the call when Yozan

stopped her.

"You don't need to stick around and take care of me. Just go home."

Cecelia thought she'd pissed him off somehow, so she asked, puzzled, "Why not?"

Yozan smirked. "What's the matter? Are you so keen on taking care of me?"

"No, but I did cause your injury."

Yozan's eyes flashed darkly. "In that case, I don't need you to take care of me. Just go."

Cecelia didn't move. She bit her lip and checked, "Are you sure?"

Yozan waved her away. "Hurry up and leave before I change my mind."

Cecelia took one last look at him before walking off.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Yozan called out.

Elspeth came in, and when she saw Yozan lying on the hospital bed, she forced herself to rein in her

fury.

"What a coincidence. I just so happened to be injured and you just so happened to come and meet

me."

"I'm not here to chat with you today." Elspeth sat down on the seat. Her voice was crisp and curt as she

questioned, "Why did you give all that information to the McGraths?"

Yozan cocked his eyebrows and queried in confusion, "What are you talking about? What do you mean

that I gave information to the McGraths?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Yozan. The McGraths wouldn't have had such a clear grasp on everything if

you didn't pass the information to them."

Elspeth had it all figured out.

Yozan was the only person apart from her who knew all this information.

Thus, it had to have been him who spilled to the McGraths.

"Fine. Since you figured it out, I won't attempt to hide it any longer."

Yozan looked pale but his words were as infuriating as ever.

"I just wanted to make life hard for Welson Harley."

"There are plenty of ways for you to cause trouble for him. Why did you choose to hurt my mother?"

Elspeth was furious. She wanted to cut Yozan's head open to see what was inside.

Yozan's emotions were getting the best of him too. His expression was harsh as he raised his voice

and fired back, "He has always been a careful man. I've never seen him care about anyone else as

much as he cares about your mother. After all these years, she's the only person who proved to be a

worthwhile target. Why shouldn't I make use of this opportunity? Do you know how he treated my

mother?! He called her a b*tch and a sl*t who only knew how to climb into a man's bed!"

Ever since he was a child, he heard these words repeated to him time and time again, and due to this,

his personality grew volatile too.

After seeing the importance Welson placed on Elspeth's mother, he was so enraged that he came up

with this plan.

"So, that's why you chose to harm an innocent woman, right?"

Elspeth could empathize with Yozan's feelings, but she couldn't accept what he'd done.

"I…"

Yozan snapped out of his emotional outburst. He couldn't defend himself as he knew he was the one in

the wrong.

All was silent as neither one of them spoke.

In the end, it was Yozan who broke the silence.

"How's your mother?"

"She's fine at the moment," Elspeth responded curtly.

"That's good to hear… Apologize to her on my behalf. I know I'm at fault for this. If there's anything you

need, feel free to tell me. I'll do whatever I can to help you."

"I don't need your help. Since you're willing to admit your fault in the matter, I won't hold it against you."

Elspeth couldn't blow up at Yozan when he was injured and lying in a hospital room.

"I'm really sorry."

Yozan had regretted what he'd done as soon as he did it, but he didn't know how to tell Elspeth about

it.

The look on his face right now reminded Elspeth of her earlier conversation with Callum.

"Actually, Yozan was the one who told me about this."

"Yozan?"

"Yeah. He suddenly called me up today and told me that your mother had been kidnapped."

"How did he know about it?"

"I don't know."

"What else?"

"He told me that you would've most likely gone over to rescue her yourself, so he urged me to hurry up

and find you."

Elspeth snapped back out of her reverie and sighed when she turned her eyes back onto the

unspeaking man in front of her.

"At least your conscience came back just in time. If it weren't for you, it might've been too late by the

time they found me."

In a way, he'd made up for his mistake.

"It was still a little too late…" Yozan said with some difficulty as a complicated look flashed across his

eyes.

"That's enough now. You don't need to beat yourself up over it. Mr. Harley will soon find out about what

you did."

Welson was a shrewd man. He was bound to figure things out when even Elspeth managed to do so

this quickly.

After recalling the way Welson treated Yozan, Elspeth had a feeling that Welson would be even more

incensed this time.

"It's fine. This time, I'll accept whatever punishment he decides to dole out."
