However, the blue cat seed to dislike Yvonne Donovan’s touch, as it imdiately broke free from her arms and ran into the backyard garden.
Yvonne’s expression dimd, "Mimi, are you mad at ?"
But Old Master Donovan comforted her, "It’s just an animal. How could it know about being angry? Just ignore it and go to your original room to change clothes first."
"Dad, what exactly are you going to announce? And also, you..."
Richard Donovan didn’t receive a reply for a long ti, and Old Master Donovan continued instructing Yvonne to change clothes in her original room. He couldn’t help but worry that this maneuver would make July Quinn’s familial affection reach a freezing point again.
Of course, he did consider Yvonne’s feelings to so extent, as she was the child he watched grow up, which is why he wasn’t too explicit in saying things.
Nonetheless, even if he didn’t say it directly, both Yvonne and Old Master Donovan knew what he was concerned about.
But Yvonne just looked downcast and didn’t say much.
Because she knew that in this family, she no longer had a voice.
Then Old Master Donovan said, "You’ll find out later. For now, go call your brother and the others."
"July, Dad will go over first! Don’t leave yet; I still have sothing to discuss with you."
Richard had no choice but to comply with Old Master Donovan’s orders.
But he was worried that July Quinn might leave in anger because of Yvonne, so he specially instructed before leaving.
July nodded.
Once Richard left, Old Master Donovan started instructing Yvonne to change clothes upstairs and then co downstairs to eat the pastries.
Of course, those prepared pastries were to Yvonne’s taste.
"The flowers you planted in the yard have all withered. I don’t know if they were frozen or if the caretaker didn’t look after them properly."
"Maybe it’s been too cold lately. How about I plant so new seeds later?"
"No need. Taking care of these plants is quite tiring. In the future, whatever flowers you like, I’ll have the flower shop send them to you directly."
They chatted casually while eating pastries.
The topics were ones July couldn’t join in on. Naturally, July had no intention of joining in, as she was busy browsing her phone for ssages she hadn’t had ti to reply to.
Compared to their cheerful conversation, July seed more like an outsider here.
"Your legs have been hurting a lot recently, right? The other day at my part-ti job, soone ntioned that moxibustion could relieve such symptoms. Once I earn so money, I’ll buy you a set of moxibustion products."
"Our Yvonne is so thoughtful, unlike so people."
During their casual chat, July hadn’t planned to respond.
Until she heard the word "moxibustion"...
"So things shouldn’t be used recklessly, or they might worsen the condition."
As a doctor, she had to give a reminder.
Because she had previously considered helping Old Master Donovan with his leg, she had specifically observed his leg and reviewed his daily dietary habits.
Thus, July already knew what treatnt Old Master Donovan needed, and she knew that using moxibustion would have the opposite effect on him.
But the truth that honest words are unpleasant is indeed accurate.
See, July rely ntioned that moxibustion shouldn’t be used casually, and both Old Master Donovan and Yvonne reacted with indignation.
"If you don’t care about this old man, fine, but don’t make sarcastic remarks!"
"July, I only wanted to express a bit of filial piety to Grandpa Donovan to the best of my ability. If this makes you unhappy, I’ll leave now."
In fact, this tactic of clashing with July and threatening to leave whenever possible was taught to Yvonne by Jenna Sawyer.
With Old Master Donovan having previously compromised under Jenna Sawyer’s machinations, Yvonne felt more confident about these tactics.
Indeed, as soon as July expressed her stance, Yvonne started using it.
And it wasn’t just talk; she imdiately got up to leave.
