Chapter 1318 Finn’s Illness (III)

• Yeah, the uninvited guest was Yasmin. After pacing all night, she watched Finn’s fever break, but the kid still stared blankly, empty-eyed. Yasmin felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff, one breath from free fall. She’d hit a dead end. Give her the tiniest sliver of hope—Donnie Burns, whoever—if they could help Finn get better, she’d beg without a second thought.
• So she shoved aside everything between her and Chad, and came only as a mother to ask him for help. But she still had to face reality. Chad was dating Madison now, and there was also Mr. Chadwick Fullner’s father to consider. Yasmin hadn’t figured out how to get Chad to help Finn again, to pull him back from the edge. Was she supposed to do it like before—have him pretend to be a father? That would mean steady company and time, and no matter what, it would smash right into Chad’s life as it is. So Yasmin decided to start with Emily, learn more about where Chad stood, then make a careful plan.
• Yasmin forced a thin smile. “Hi, Emily.” She paused, then said slowly, “I’m here to ask a favor.” She told Emily what was going on with her and Finn.
