Imaging results:Tumor located in the stomach: A tumor was observed in the stomach, located at the anterior stomach wall and around 5 centimeters away from the pylorus. Regular in size and shape with distinct borders. Measures around 1.5cm x 2cm.Imaging features: Tumor in a low-density area relative to that of surrounding gastric walls. No clear compression observed in surrounding structures.Internal characteristics of tumor: Homogeneous density within tumor, no cysts or additional features observed.Lymph node involvement: No irregularities or swelling observed in surrounding lymph nodes"What's this?" Rosalie looked up as shock registered in her eyes. In disbelief, she stammered, "You…you have a tumor in your stomach?"She felt as though she had been struck by lightning.Theodore immediately snatched the report back and turned to leave. However, she grabbed his arm."Wait, explain yourself! What's with this report? You're ill?""None of your business." Theodore tightened h
Her concern only worsened the excruciating pain he buried deep in his heart.He felt very conflicted. He desired her concern, but at the same time, he wished she would leave.Theodore looked at her with tears in his eyes, trying his darndest to keep himself calm as he said things that made his heart ache, "Rose, don't show me any more concern. Your care and concern only bring me more pain and hopelessness. No matter how much concern you show me, things between us will never return to the past. You're only adding to my pain.""Theodore Spencer, I don't understand. I really don't!" Rosalie said through her tears. "If you think that my concern only adds to your pain, why did you let Aurora get pregnant with your child?"Rosalie looked at Theodore with eyes filled with anger and sorrow. She suppressed the pain in her heart as she decided to ask him for some answers."Theo, are you taking Aurora as my replacement? Do you find everything I've given you from her?"Anger and sorrow tinge
He handed the thumb drive to Rosalie. "All his actions were captured and stored in this thumb drive. Rosalie Young, I'm giving you one chance to watch the entire thing. If you still think Sebastian didn't want to kill me after watching it and want to beg me to let him go, I'll agree to it!"Rosalie stared at the thumb drive in Theodore's hand, filled with doubt.She was curious about the footage inside. Since there was evidence, there was no harm in checking it out.Rosalie wiped her tears away. "Okay, I'll watch it. I want to know what happened, too."It was Theodore's words against Sebastian's at that time. She didn't know whose words to believe.Theodore grabbed Rosalie's wrist. "Come with me."He brought Rosalie to somewhere quiet and had someone bring his laptop over.He then inserted the thumb drive into the laptop and clicked open the video files inside.Rosalie sat before the laptop and saw Theodore navigate through the files and click on a video.However, he didn't
Rosalie pushed Theodore's hand away. "In that case, I must know what happened."Since Theodore got his hands on the so-called evidence and laid it right before her, there was no reason for her not to watch it. A few minutes wouldn't make a difference.Rosalie took the initiative to play the video.She sat quietly before the laptop, her eyes fixed on the video playing on the screen.The originally calm expression on her face slowly grew solemn, then turned into shock and disbelief.She couldn't believe that the man she once trusted so much could be capable of something so cruel.In the video, Sebastian broke into Theodore's house with a bunch of armed men.After they entered, they scoured the place for surveillance cameras and damaged whatever they could find.When Theodore and Aurora came back, they intercepted them and ruthlessly threatened them with their lives. They pointed their guns at Theodore, the vicious look in their eyes filled with ruthless cruelty.Sebastian pointe
Upon seeing how much pain and shock Rosalie was in, Theodore sighed."Now that you've seen it for yourself, do you still think I'm lying and making a mountain out of a molehill?" he asked. Rosalie stayed silent. "Do you really think Sebastian didn't intend to kill me with all those bodyguards he brought in tow? Had I not snatched his gun away, the odds wouldn't have been in my favor. The video made things very clear. Are you still going to speak up for him?"He was waiting to see how Rosalie would justify Sebastian's actions.Rosalie shut her eyes, trying her best to keep the pain and shock she was feeling in check.After a long while, she looked up at Theodore."I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. I thought…I thought things weren't so bad. I thought…"Rosalie's throat hurt—she couldn't speak any further. As it turns out, she had thought wrongly and Sebastian had indeed done what Theodore said he did.Instead of killing Sebastian under those circumstances, Theodore chose to
"Is that so? Did he tell you that?" Theodore questioned Rosalie back with a sardonic look, as if mocking her for being naive.Rosalie nodded. "Yes.""Rose, are you still going to believe him now? He clearly has a guilty conscience and is looking for an excuse to flee. Otherwise, why would he choose today of all days to flee when I was ready to give the evidence to the police? How could such a huge coincidence be possible?""I find it a huge coincidence too," Rosalie said. "But how would Sebastian know that you have the video? The footage clearly shows that he thought he destroyed all the surveillance cameras in the villa. How would he know you had a pinhole camera? Had he known, he would have fled earlier. Why did he wait till today?""I want to know the answer to that, too. Why did he find out today, of all days?"Theodore was fuming. He unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt, his chest heaving and almost panting due to his anger."Someone must have tipped him off. For al
"I don't know," Rosalie said. "Do as you deem fit. It's not my place to comment on this any further."Sebastian had done something so awful, Rosalie felt she couldn't even ask Theodore for forgiveness."I can't just let this go, Rose. I can tell you the truth. Since Sebastian has gone back home, I've decided to pass the video to the Melrine police. As for whether they can catch him, that's their business. Consider this a chance I'm giving Sebastian. If he continues staying where he is, he's safe. But once he comes back to Melrine, he'll get caught. What do you think?"Rosalie nodded. "Okay."She had no reason to oppose Theodore's suggestion. Sebastian had done something like this, so even if Theodore insisted on punishing him, she couldn't stop it.Theodore was being very reasonable, despite the high likelihood that the Melrine police wouldn't be able to find Sebastian now that he had returned home.Rosalie felt very conflicted. On one hand, Sebastian hurt Theodore and almost kil
Sebastian was probably still on the plane with her baby. She had put her son in Sebastian's hands.Rosalie didn't dare to think too badly of Sebastian. He was very good to her and sacrificed a lot for her. However, the Sebastian she saw in the video looked like another person—cruel and vicious through and through. Now that her son was with Sebastian, Rosalie felt scared and didn't dare to do anything that would provoke him.Had she known this earlier, she would never have let Sebastian take her son back home. She would insist on leaving the baby with her here.Why didn't Theodore tell her about it earlier?He had the evidence. If he had told her about it right from the beginning…Yet why…'Forget it,' Rosalie thought with a sigh. It was meaningless to ask hypothetical questions.She tried her best to believe that Sebastian wouldn't hurt her son. Despite that, she still didn't care to provoke him.Rosalie entered Justin's ward morosely, looking very troubled."Did something
Theodore wrapped all of them up in his long arms.Under the golden sunshine, the family of four was wrapped up in each other's embraces. Sunlight shone on them, encasing them in a warm, golden glow. Everything felt calm and peaceful. The children snuggled in their parents' arms, innocent smiles lighting up their faces. They could feel the warmth of the sunshine as they found the safest and warmest haven in the entire world in their arms.In the evening sun and gentle breeze, they finally found happiness in each other's embrace.-In the deep of the night, Rosalie had a dream.Both Justin and Grandma came to her in her dream.Grandma and Justin were playing cards, surrounded by beautiful birds and flowers. They seemed to be in heaven, having the time of their lives with a look of tender love in their eyes.Grandma was very happy that she had reconciled with Theodore.Justin told Rosalie, "Rose, I'm so happy to see you happy.""Justin, do you hate me?""Silly girl, why would
Theodore made Rosalie feel like love was possible once more, and gradually opened her up.Love was ever-changing with time and the experiences they went through.Rosalie missed Justin dearly, but she also learned to treasure the people around her and every present moment of happiness. She learned how to accept the past and treasure the present amidst all her relationships.Justin would be her one and only in her heart, but Theodore also found his place in her heart amidst the unique position Justin was in.This was how their affections and love for each other grew and changed with time.Justin was dead, and Rosalie couldn't keep living in the past. She would carefully preserve her love for Justin in a corner of her heart.She would spend the rest of her life loving Theodore and their children."Chelsea," Rosalie said as she pulled Chelsea over. "Your daddy loves you very much, but he didn't get to see you come into this world. But you must remember his name. He is Justin Lynch."
Theodore and Rosalie brought both children to Justin's tomb.Before they left, Rosalie said that she and Chelsea wanted to spend some time alone with Justin.Theodore brought Jake to the car to wait for them.Golden sunlight shone on the land, feeling warm and toasty and giving the earth a beautiful glow.Rosalie caressed the tombstone. "Justin, I'm sorry for not coming to visit for such a long time."The last time she came back was a few months ago, during which she snuck a peak at his tombstone.Rosalie pulled out a bone fragment. "That's because you're always by my side, which is why I think that I can bring you everywhere I go. You're not just here at this tombstone."Justin, Theo and I have reconciled. He did so much for me, even sacrificing his own life for me. I can't just stand idly by and do nothing about it. I can't bring myself to reject him ruthlessly again and again."You can say that I'm moved, or that I fell in love with him once more. He's just too good, and I c
Jake had so much fun today and was exhausted by the time he reached home. After his shower, he crawled into bed and fell right asleep without any coaxing whatsoever. Jake would sometimes sleep in the bedroom with Chelsea, and sometimes they slept separately.At night, when Rosalie went to Chelsea's room to tuck her in and tell her a bedtime story, she asked, "Chelsea, how was your day with Theodore?""Hmm, it was alright," Chelsea said. "But Mr. Spencer was so silly, he burnt the food. I only got to eat lunch very late.""Is that so?" Rosalie burst out laughing. "How silly of him indeed.""But Mr. Spencer is quite nice," Chelsea said. "I like him. He said that I can call him Daddy."Rosalie's eyes lit up. "Do you want to call him that?""I do," Chelsea said with a nod, "but I'll do that tomorrow."Chelsea yawned. She felt tired, too.Rosalie caressed her cheek. "Goodnight, my darling. Go to sleep."-Rosalie returned to her room, took a shower, and laid on the bed. Theodo
Their parent-child bonding efforts officially began the next day.Rosalie brought Jake to the theme park. In the beginning, Jake felt rather stiff and reserved. It was his first time alone with his mom, after all.As time went by, Rosalie's earnestness, concern, and gentle patience with him slowly opened him up.They sat on the carousel, drove the bumper cars, rode on the Viking ship, zoomed down slides, bounced on the trampolines, and sailed on mini-boats. They had a whale of a time.Jake was covered with sweat, but he was so happy, he didn't want the day to end.He had grown closer to his mom, so much so that he would jump into her arms, hugging her and asking for kisses.Rosalie did not hold back from expressing her love for him and even carried him on her back as they continued exploring the park.Jake was very obedient and came down very soon, for fear that Rosalie might get tired. They moved on to the next attraction hand-in-hand.Rosalie found out one thing from Jake, wh
Some time later, Rosalie realized that Jake was being rather sullen.Each time she asked him whether something was wrong, he would brush her away, claiming that he was fine before running off.It was a Saturday, and Rosalie didn't need to go to work. She was seated on the couch with a book when Chelsea ran over, her braids swaying behind her. "Mommy, can you give me a hug?"How could Rosalie say no to her adorable little daughter? She shut the book and said, "But of course. Come on over."Rosalie opened her arms, very willing to show Chelsea affection.Chelsea crawled up onto the couch happily, sitting on Rosalie's lap and diving into her embrace.Jake happened to see it all.Rosalie noticed Jake standing a short distance away and was about to say something to him when he ran off.The smile on Rosalie's face faded as a look of worry took over.At night, Rosalie put Chelsea under Theodore's care and went to Jake, wanting to speak to him alone."Jake, what's with you recently
A gentle breeze lifted the curtains slightly in the deep of the night.Rosalie laid in Theodore's embrace, panting slightly. Her cheek leaned against his chest, feeling his heart pounding heavily, and her cheeks flushed.She never expected this day to come between her and Theodore, yet everything happened in a flash. He went to bed with her just like that, bewitched and completely infatuated with her.Although they were once husband and wife and had been intimate countless times, this felt different from the last. Things felt more intense this time around."Rose, are you happy?"Although Theodore's liver had been doing well over the last three months of recuperation, he was still worried that his fitness level might be affected before his liver was fully recovered.Rosalie gave him a slight smile. "Of course, I am. You almost crushed me."Her face flushed the moment she spoke those words. She hugged Theodore tight, feeling safe and secure.She could sense that he was telling th
"Theo, have you had a woman over the past five years?" Rosalie asked very frankly.They weren't naive young men and women but mature adults with experience in this matter.Theodore was a red-blooded young man who had his needs. Suppressing his desires, which were absolutely normal, would only jeopardize his health.Theodore was getting angry. "Am I someone like that to you, going to bed with a woman I don't love just to satisfy my physical needs?""Aren't men all like that?" Rosalie said. She didn't mean it in a scornful way but simply highlighted it as a typical observation.Lonely men and women in the city were bound to seek companionship in some places and part ways after the night.Someone as powerful and influential as Theodore wouldn't even need to go searching for someone else. Women flocked toward him like bees to honey."Why can't I be an exception?" He was in no state whatsoever to find another woman over the past five years and would always deal with his sexual desire
Time flew by, and three months later, Rosalie was fully recovered and back at work.Her colleagues welcomed her back with a bash.Everything seemed to have returned to normal.To keep Jake company, Rosalie would go back to Theodore's house every day after work. She was practically living there.Rosalie and Jake's relationship had improved over time, and they were looking more and more like they were truly mother and son.Everything was going well.At night, the four of them sat around the dining table and chatted happily with each other.After dinner, Rosalie and Theodore sat in the living room chatting. She suddenly noticed a book on the table. It looked so familiar that it caught her eye.It was the book she had written. Over the past five years, not only was she busy learning and working, but she also managed to write the book she had conceptualized and even gotten it published. However, this book was only available in Briusian and not exported to Blencalgo.Rosalie's book
