Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 241

"Mom, is this the plan you mentioned?" Xavier asked.

Selena gave him a sideways glance, "Didn't you hear? Helen agreed to this herself. She doesn't want to make

you orsad. Besides, she has a psychiatric evaluation report, so she won't be convicted. I'm doing this for

your child!"

Xavier looked at Helen in distress in the courtroom. She was his sister, the one who used to seek revenge for any

grievance, and now she's being forced to plead guilty.

Helen continued, "I've always held a grudge against Yasmine. It's not something new, and most people here

know about it. We've had numerous run-ins even back at Aurelith University. Before this incident, there were

already significant tensions between us. The villa incident was premeditated. | orchestrated everything just to

ruin her, and | wanted to see her break down." She spoke these words calmly, as if she wanted it to seem real.

Yasmine knew her words were a mix of truth and lies. At least the first part was true, but the latter part seemed

to be Yvette's thoughts playing out.

The lawyer listened with satisfaction to her answer, and Yvette faced the judge with a subtle smile. She believed

that with what Helen had said, the judge would be convinced that none of it was her fault from the beginning.

"Request to cross-examine the witness!" Yasmine's lawyer stepped forward. Once the judge granted permission,

the lawyer approached Helen and asked, "Helen, how do you explain Finnian's testimony?"

"Finman? Well, | really don't understand why he would lie. | was clearly the one who did it." Helen said.

Finnian sat on one side, glancing behind him.

The lawyer asked seriously, "So Helen, are you certain it was you who did this?"

""Yes." She nodded.

The lawyer looked at the judge, "Your Honor, | submit new evidence."

Yvette slightly furrowed her brows, unsure of what Yasmine had up her sleeve.

The lawyer played a video on the large screen. As soon as Selena saw the scene in the video, she fell apart. It

was from the mental hospital. The first video showed her first attempt to persuade Helen to take the blame, and

the second was before the trial. "Helen, just do it for Yvette! Take the blame! ... After all, that woman wasn't

really hurt. The sentence won't be harsh. Then we can have your brother put in seffort, maybe it'll be even

lighter... If you don't confess, don't callmom anymore."...

As the video played, several reporters in the courtroom couldn't wait to capture everything. Yvette's face was

pale, unable to believe these videos were actually being shown.

Selena's face turned ashen. How could she have forgotten?

The lawyer said, "Your Honor, as you can see, in the two segments of surveillance played, Mrs. Flynn was

persuading Helen to take the blame. After the first attempt at persuasion, Helen attempted suicide, which the

hospital has verified. Instead of reconsidering after the suicide incident, Mrs. Flynn continued her various

attempts to persuade Helen, as clearly shown in the second video where she even threatened suicide herself. All

the surveillance videos have sound. This clearly indicates That Helen & intention to confess was not evident, and

that she was being forced to take the blrather than confessing voluntarily

In the end, Yvette was sentenced to two years. Since she was pregnant, she would be under house arrest until

the baby was born. Yvette almost couldn't stand, but she knew this was the best outcome. After the baby is

born, she could apply for a reduced sentence. Selena glared coldly at Yasmine, her plan flawless. Helen didn't

expect this outceither and was taken back to the psychiatric hospital.

Soucrity Hospital. Yonas had been lying in the ward for five whole days when Chuck brought soatmeal.

Yonas looked at him displeased, "Why is it you again?"

Chuck nearly jumped, "Who else would it be if not me? What happened with you and Ms. Sanchez? Why isn't she

talking to you?"

Yonas shook his head in confusion, not even understanding himself. The only explanation was that Yasmine might

have overheard what he said to Irene that day. He tried calling Yasmine, but he was blocked. With his leg like

this, he had no way to go to her. Meanwhile, Yasmine was in her counseling room meeting with a student. The

girl seemed to be around twenty years old and her nwas Teresa. She looked nervous and avoided making

eye contact with Yasmine.

"Is there something troubling you?" Yasmine asked.

Teresa's eyes immediately welled up with tears, "I-1 want to die."

Yasmine's expression turned serious as she looked at the young girl, and she gently inquired, "Has something

happened?:

"Miss, | feel like | should just die," Teresa said. Most people struggling with depression think they should end their

lives, yet they're here because of that remaining sliver of will to survive. "Do you think that when people die,

they disappear completely and are relieved from all their problems?" Teresa asked, her face a blank slate.

Yasmine carefully considered her words and gently replied, "Where did you get the idea that death brings relief?"

"Everybody says that, and online too..."

"No one has ever experienced death, and the dead can't tell us about it. Since no one narrates the world beyond,

death remains unknown to us, much like Schrédinger's cat. Before the mystery is unveiled, no one knows if the

cat is alive or dead. But who can say for sure at that moment of revelation? No matter what, death is an

irreversible action. If you make a steadfast decision to act recklessly, how can you be certain that happiness

awaits on the other side?" Yasmine said softly.

Even though Teresa might have heard all these theories, Yasmine still wanted to share them. Yasmine thought for

a moment and asked, "This is a chart with a total of seventy-two cells, each representing an hour. You have three

days left to live. Even if you don't sleep during these three days, tell me, what's the one thing you really want to

do? Write it down."

Teresa spread out the chart on the table, pen in hand, as she stared blankly at it. In the last three days of her life,

she would want to do something meaningful, right? But what counts as meaningful? If she were to die, in that

final moment, what would she want to do? SEND GIFT
