Chapter 264
Chapter 264
Jasper was stunned. He quickly said, "Mom!"
Jasper did not expect that. Coralie, on the other hand, had long expected that Amenda would hate her.
Coralie's biological mother, Madison, gave birth to Coralie after having an affair with Houston. Although
Madison did not know that she was being a mistress while seeing Houston, still, it wasn't something to
be proud of after all.
"Why did you ask her to come here? What do you want to tell me?"
Amenda looked at Jasper, annoyed.
She always had a fiery look. It was even more frightening when she looked irritated.
Although she did not look furious, Coralie could tell that it was merely a disguise. A storm was about to
happen.
"Auntie Amenda, please take back what you just said. It's not my mother's fault that she gave birth to
me with Uncle Zac!"
Coralie had been contemplating her line to word it so it would not have triggered Amenda.
Although Madison passed away after giving birth to Coralie, she was still her biological mother after all.
Coralie couldn't ignore the fact that her mother was being insulted.
"Isn't that so? Didn't you know that she's a mistress?"
Amenda pursed her lips, unladylike at all.
"I believe my mother would definitely not have had any relationship with Uncle Zac if she had known
that he was married."
"You're not your mother. How would you know?"
"If my mother was that kind of person, she wouldn't have left us behind after finding out that Uncle Zac
had a family."
Coralie tried to reason with Amenda!
Although Coralie only learned what happened from others after Madison passed away, she believed
that Madison was a virtuous person.
"Was not knowing about it a legitimate excuse for her to be a mistress?"
Over the years, Amenda's hatred toward Madison had never reduced because of Madison's death. She
had always despised Madison. She felt that it was Madison who seduced Houston, to begin with.
"Auntie Amenda, how is it her fault when she didn't know Uncle Zac was a married man? How is that
an excuse?
Coralie realized that Amenda had been blinded by hatred. She was being unreasonable.
Listening to the arguments between Coralie and Amendia, Jasper never expected that this would
happen. He finally understood why Coralie said in the car that he did not understand women.
Coralie had already known things would have turned out that way.
"Mom, let bygones be bygones. After all, Coralie is still Dad's daughter."
Jasper tried to calm Amenda down.
However, it angered Amenda instead. "So what? Do you expect me to accept her?"
Jasper lost his temper.
Things seemed to be getting worse.
"Auntie Amenda, don't worry. The Zac family is out of my league."
Coralie knew that she did not belong to both the Zac and Holland families. Nor did she have any
interest in them too.
"Jasper, tell me, why did you bring this woman here today?"
Amenda looked at Coralie. She really did look like Madison.
She had met Madison before. Although Coralie looked delicate and weak, she was as strong and
stubborn as Madison.
"Valerie injured her leg because she wanted to save Coralie. I wanted to bring her here to tell you that."
Jasper had always been a domineering president. However, in front of Amenda, he looked like a
powerless pawn.
"The Zac family doesn't need a handicap."
Amenda went upstairs immediately after she dropped this line.
After Coralie got out of the Zac family, Jasper snapped, "Coralie, I wanted you to help me but why did
you quarrel with my mother instead?"
"Mr. Zac, I told you, your mother wouldn't like me."
Coralie looked at Jasper, shrugging her shoulders. "She was convinced that my mother was a mistress.
How would she like me?"
"I know. This is my father's fault."
He frowned.
"Mr. Zac, it's hard to change one's mind when they are obviously sticking to the views they have
already formed. Just like you who are certain that I'm a woman who's after money and luxuries. It's
hard to change your mind too."
Coralie knew that the reason Jasper had always looked down on her was that he felt that Coralie was
only after money when she was with Skylar and Yohan.
Of course, she never wished Jasper to change his opinion toward her.
......
After leaving the Zac family, Coralie went back to the hospital directly.
Hera was not awake yet, still.
"Miss Chariott, hello."
Coralie bumped into the youngest specialist from the team at the door of the ward. He was also one of
the few local doctors in the team.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
"Here's the thing. I'd like to know Hera's preferences, such as her favorite songs or any other things
that matter to her," he proposed.
"I want to perform a stimulation therapy based on these."
"Ok, let me know what you'll need. I will ask my younger brother if I don't know, or I'll think about it."
Coralie agreed to it immediately.
Out of so many methods, she felt that what he mentioned was the most reliable.
While discussing Hera's condition with him, Coralie got to know that the specialist's name was Kayden
Forbes. He was an interesting person.
After Kayden had made some modifications to the stimulation therapy, he started the treatment on
Hera instantly. Hera showed an immediate response to it. She would open her eyes when her family
members called out to her, and her eyes would move with people's motion. It meant that she had
started regaining consciousness.
After a month, Hera had finally regained her complete consciousness. Although she couldn't speak
very well yet, she could already eat normally and walk with support.
That day, after feeding Hera dinner and chatted with her, Coralie left the ward.
Yohan stood by the door and said to Coralie, "Now that Hera is awake, we should pick a wedding date."
Coralie did not expect that Yohan had been thinking about that all this while. However, she did mention
that they would only get married after Hera was able to walk.
Of course, she couldn't break her promise. It was Yohan who invited this team of specialists.
Otherwise, Hera would not recover too.
"Ok, let's do it."
Coralie nodded.
"We will have the wedding after two weeks then. I'll get the designer to take your measurements and
customize a wedding gown for you." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Ok."
Coralie could only agree.
That time, she had no reason to reject Yohan anymore.
They were really getting married.
......
On the next day, Yohan brought Coralie to his house at A City and then got the designer to take her
measurements.
The designer drafted a design on the iPad based on Coralie's measurements and put it in front of
Coralie. "Miss Chariott, please take a look. This is a draft of the wedding dress. I'll edit it if there's
anything that you're not satisfied with."
Coralie took the iPad. The dress looked gorgeous even though it was just a draft. It had a pair of
bubble sleeves, just like what the Disney princesses would wear.
"What do you think?"
The designer asked Coralie as saw her staring blankly at the draft.
"Did Mr. Leonardo give his opinion on this gown?"
"Wow, you could even tell that? Mr. Leonardo mentioned that he wanted a white wedding gown, just
like the one Snow White wore."
Coralie was not as surprised as the designer.
It was because she knew that from Yohan's point of view, she was still a little girl who was fond of
princess dresses. He never thought that Coralie would change, and this included her likings.
