After handing out all her invitations, Yolanda felt a wave of fatigue.
Her health was stable now, but having undergone major surgery, she was still weaker than the average person.
Weary of socializing, Yolanda left with her assistant.
Just as she stepped into the elevator, her phone rang.
Yolanda, seeing an unfamiliar number on the screen, hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Hello?”
“Yolanda. It's Oscar. Don't say anything, just listen to me.” Oscar's deep, hoarse voice came through the phone.
Yolanda remained silent, her thin lips pressed together as she clutched the phone.
“Yolanda, I might never get to see you again in this lifetime. I miss you so much, I miss the times we spent together when we were young... From now on, in the days I'm not around, you have to take care of yourself. Live a happy, joyful life. Yolanda, I love you...”
Oscar's voice was choked with emotion, and then the line went dead, leaving only a dial tone.
Yolanda's exquisitely made-up face remained perfectly calm. After ending the call, she simply put her phone back in her purse.
Her father had told her about Oscar's prison break just yesterday.
Although her father had arranged for people to help Oscar escape, it would be difficult for him to get out of Istra. He would be caught sooner or later.
The reason her father went to such lengths was that he believed Oscar dead on the outside was safer than alive in prison.
George was a prime example—only the dead can't talk.
Her father had also told her that the Rogers family was finished, and so was Oscar. He advised her to forget about Oscar, warning that indecision would only lead to more trouble.
Yolanda felt her father was right.
