Chapter 27 A Tacky Apology

• Lance, noticing Yvette's unusual expression, reached out and gently wrapped an arm around her slender waist. His voice sounded tender, but his eyes carried a warning. "Yvie, when do you think the wedding should be?"
• Yvette, covered in goosebumps, simply ignored him. She sighed softly and said to Edith. "I'm sure you've heard about Crystal's poor health by now, Grandma. She had a fever and was admitted to the hospital yesterday. Her condition can only be treated by a specialist I know. Until Crystal's health is completely restored, I really won't be in the mood for a wedding. I hope you can understand."
• Edith and the others immediately shifted their attention to Crystal's condition, expressing their concerns and asking detailed questions.
