After Rosalie's checkup, the doctor reviewed the test results and said, "It's just mild food poisoning. It's nothing serious. You'll be fine after a few days of rest.""Is that so?" Theodore seemed disappointed when he heard that.When they arrived at the hospital, Rosalie had rushed to the restroom, and he clearly heard the sounds of her throwing up. At that moment, his heart had been heavy and filled with doubt. But now, the doctor was telling him she only had food poisoning.Breathing a sigh of relief, Rosalie forced a smile. "See, I told you it was nothing. It's just mild food poisoning. Let's go home."Theodore took the test report from the doctor's desk and examined it carefully. The results matched what the doctor had said."Then, give her some medication," Theodore said.After the doctor prescribed some medication for Rosalie, Theodore was ready to take her home. As they walked out, Rosalie saw Stephanie in the hallway. Dressed in a nurse's uniform, she was talking to som
"Just wait here for me, okay? What kind of man waits outside the women's restroom? Even if you're not embarrassed, I am," Rosalie said.Theodore remained silent for a moment, then let go of her hand. "Alright, I'll wait here for you."Rosalie immediately handed him the bottle of water, turned around, and walked away quickly."Slow down. Be careful not to fall," Theodore reminded her, his tone serious yet filled with concern.Passersby couldn't help but envy the couple.Rosalie slowed down. She clutched her chest tightly and frowned. It was a pity that his concern had come too late.She rushed into the restroom and closed the door. Then, she immediately knelt in front of the toilet bowl, forcing herself to throw up by shoving her fingers down her throat."Ugh..."A strong sense of discomfort surged from her stomach and throat, and she forcefully expelled all three pills she had swallowed. She flushed the toilet once she was done, then stumbled to her feet, unable to stand steadi
The words "Ms. Young" haunted Rosalie like a curse all the way back home.Feeling some discomfort, she wanted to lie down in bed as soon as she arrived. As she was walking to the bed, she stumbled and accidentally kicked the trash can. Just as she was about to steady it, she noticed a phone with a cracked screen in the trash can.Wasn't this Theodore's phone?Rosalie remembered having heard something fall in the room early this morning. It seemed to have been this phone.However, the floor of the bedroom was carpeted. So, even if the phone had fallen, it wouldn't make such a loud noise, nor would the screen have cracked like this. In fact, it looked as if someone had deliberately smashed the phone.-Since the argument in the car, Rosalie hadn't seen Theodore for four consecutive days. He seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the couple hadn’t been in contact with each other at all.Every day, Rosalie felt heartbroken. When she woke up every morning, she felt suffocated, bu
"This is Mr. Sebastian Carter, the primary shareholder of Ashwick University."Another round of thunderous applause erupted from the audience.A young man in a sharp suit elegantly walked onto the stage, nodding slightly to everyone before finally arriving at Rosalie’s side.Rosalie was somewhat shocked when she saw who it was. Wasn't he the gentleman she had shared a table with at the restaurant a few days ago?When Sebastian saw her, he also seemed slightly surprised but didn't show it. He accepted the degree certificate from the dean's hands.Rosalie stepped forward to receive her degree certificate. She bowed slightly, keeping her head lowered. The tassel on the right side of her mortarboard hung down. As per tradition, Sebastian gently moved the tassel from the right to the left. With that, the ceremony was complete.Looking up, Rosalie was about to express her gratitude when she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness that caused her to stagger. Sebastian immediately reached out
Sebastian seemed to have guessed something after observing the scene before him, but he didn't say anything.Rosalie struggled forcefully to break free from Theodore's embrace, feeling anxious under the scrutiny of so many eyes. She ignored her husband's grim expression, her concerned gaze falling on Sebastian."Mr. Carter, I'm so sorry. Would you like to go to the hospital?" she asked."I'm fine," Sebastian replied, his brow furrowed as he clutched his chest, clearly in pain.Just as Rosalie was about to approach to check on him, Theodore grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her back, his face terrifyingly cold."Let go of me!" Rosalie tried to break free from his grip, but the man was incredibly strong.Theodore wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. His hostility-filled gaze was directed at Sebastian. As he kept his hold on Rosalie, he pulled a check out of his pocket and stuffed it into the other man's suit pocket.Theodore’s voice was tinged wi
"Rose, did you need something?"Theodore didn't directly answer her question, but it was true. Cynthia was his junior."I need to fill out my preferences for my university entrance exams. Do you have any suggestions regarding majors?"Theodore continued working with his head down as he replied, "Choose something you're interested in.""Then, I'll choose...""Sorry to interrupt," said Cynthia from the office doorway. "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Johnson is online and waiting for you."Theodore hummed in response and closed the file he was holding. "I'll be right there."As he walked past Rosalie, he said, "I'm a bit busy. Let's talk later.""Oh, okay," Rosalie replied, looking somewhat disappointed as she lowered her head.Noticing the lack of movement behind him, Theodore stopped and turned around. Eventually, he approached Rosalie and grasped her shoulder."What's wrong?""It's nothing. You should go attend to your business," Rosalie said, fearing she would delay him further."Tell m
"Rosalie, how many times do I have to remind you? We're not divorced yet!""What..."What does it matter if they were divorced or not?That was what Rosalie wanted to say. But seeing her husband’s dark expression, she knew continuing to argue would only worsen the situation. She wondered when he had become so unreasonable.Suddenly, her stomach churned violently. Rosalie quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and rushed out before retching uncontrollably. Theodore quickly followed and knelt beside her.Rosalie clutched at her chest and took a few deep breaths. Fortunately, she hadn't eaten anything in the morning, or she surely would have thrown up even more."It's been days. Haven't you been taking your medicine?" Theodore asked as he gently stroked her back.Worried that he might suspect something, Rosalie turned her head and pretended to be angry. "It's all because of you! That sudden stop you did made me uncomfortable. I'm already prone to motion sickness."Th
"Oh, okay."Rosalie didn't say much about Theodore's answer. This was his home, and he could stay if he wanted to. Although it was such a normal thing, there was a faint sense of joy in Rosalie's heart.During lunch, Rosalie didn’t have much of an appetite. Seeing that she was mostly eating vegetables, Theodore kept putting meat on her plate."Why are you only eating vegetables? Have some meat."Even the sight of meat made Rosalie feel nauseous, but she forced herself to eat it to avoid suspicion. Fortunately, she had taken some anti-nausea medicine that was specifically for pregnancy symptoms beforehand. So, she could endure it for a while."What kind of job do you want?" Theodore suddenly asked.Rosalie looked up at him in confusion. "What?""Didn't I say I'd arrange a job for you after you graduate? What do you want to do?""Oh... It's fine. I'll find a job on my own.""You'll find one yourself? Aren't you going to work at SK Enterprise?""No." Rosalie smiled bitterly. "We
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
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
“I don’t know!” Rosalie exclaimed bitterly. “I don’t know if you’re guilty of that or not, but when he was lying unconscious on the bed at that time, you forced me to give up on him! That’s the truth!”A sharp pain suddenly pierced through Theodore’s stomach.He was still gripping the test results of his check-up. Compared to the pain in his heart, the pain in his stomach was nothing.“Rosalie Young, go ahead and hate me. I’m bent on sending Sebastian to jail in Melrine. I’ve got to make him pay for what he did.”Theodore didn’t want to explain any further. He felt exhausted.Since Rosalie was intent on defending Sebastian, there was nothing else to talk about between them.Rosalie wanted to stop Theodore from leaving. “Wait. Theo, I’m begging you. Let him off.”“He wants to kill me and you want me to let him off?”“He didn’t want to kill you. I promise you, he won’t dare do something like that again. He just wanted to find me. He really wasn’t thinking of killing you.”“Let m
After a moment's silence, Theodore said, "Don't tell my girlfriend about this for now.""Of course, Mr. Spencer.""I have some things to attend to. I'll come for the biopsy once I'm done with that."He had to settle things regarding Sebastian.After leaving the doctor's office and on the way back to Aurora, Theodore bumped into Rosalie.They were walking along the same corridor and were about ten yards apart as they looked at each other.After a long time, Rosalie continued walking on as if she hadn't seen him and was about to brush past him. There wasn't much to say between them."Say a proper goodbye to Sebastian," Theodore suddenly said. Theodore's words made Rosalie furrow her brows. She looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?""Sebastian's going to jail. You two don't have much time left with each other."Rosalie's face stiffened. "Why is he going to jail?""He broke into my house with his bodyguards to try to kill Aurora and I. Trespassing private prope
It was understandable for Justin to forget about it. His health wasn't in optimal condition right now, after all.Rosalie herself would forget what she wanted to say sometimes. Perhaps what he wanted to say wasn't that important, or he wouldn't have forgotten it so easily.Seeing her staying by his side and taking such great care of him, Justin had a lot to tell her. That included the words he wanted to tell her before Sebastian came in.'Rose, what if I like you?'That was what he wanted to say.Emotions roiled in his heart at that moment and he almost couldn't keep them under control. However, Sebastian's arrival had cut him off.After Sebastian left, he realized that it was pointless even if he said what he wanted to say. Rosalie had a husband and a child, and a happy family.He, on the other hand, was an outlaw. He had no right to like anybody.He couldn't even protect his kin. What right did he have to fancy another woman?It was enough for him as long as she was happy. H
Rosalie sighed. "Seb, don't worry. I won't meet him in private. He has Aurora by his side now. How could I possibly have any interaction with him? Go back with peace of mind.""Rose, promise me that you won't trust Theodore again. I'm really worried that he'll hurt you again."Rosalie nodded. "I got it. I've seen through him. Don't worry about me. Go be busy with what you need to do."Sebastian hugged her and bade her farewell.The plane was about to take off.He soon left with the baby in his arms.Rosalie watched them as they vanished out of her line of sight, and couldn't hold back her tears. She couldn't bear to leave her baby, and really wanted to fly back home with them.However, she couldn't leave an injured Justin behind. She also had her studies to complete, so she had to make the difficult decision of staying in Melrine for a few more months.Rosalie returned to the hospital feeling despondent.Justin saw her return, and shot her a warm smile. "You're back."Rosalie
Sebastian appeared very genuine. His eyes were filled with guilt when he looked at Justin."It's fine. As long as you desire to protect Rose," Justin said flatly.Sebastian's eyes narrowed, flashing briefly.What did that mean?Of course he desired to protect Rosalie! However, it wasn't Justin's place to comment on that.Rosalie was his wife, how was she related to Justin? What was this man thinking, trying to lecture him?Even so, Sebastian didn't say much. He simply smiled and said, "Have a good rest. I'll be off."Although it was only for a mere instant, Justin keenly caught the look in Sebastian's eyes. Despite that, he remained unperturbed.-Rosalie followed Sebastian back to their accommodation.The baby was still there.Rosalie kept holding him in her arms, unwilling to part with him. Throughout their journey to the airport, she kept carrying the baby, feeling terrible inside."I'm sorry. Mommy didn't take good care of you, and now I'm saying goodbye to you. But don
"It's not that, Rose. There's been some issues at the company, and it's quite urgent. I have to go back to deal with it.""Really? What happened?""Some shareholders are causing trouble. I won't know the details until I get back, but my dad asked me to go back as soon as possible. It might be because of what happened to me recently, and now people at the company think I can't take over. They're starting to cause a ruckus and trying to seize power."Rosalie frowned, her expression becoming more serious. "Seb, does that mean you have to go back? When will you leave?""I'm leaving right now.""Right now? So soon?"Sebastian nodded. "Yes, the plane is already ready. I need to leave immediately. Rose, do you want to come back with me?""Seb, I can't go with you. I still need to stay here and take care of Justin. Plus, I haven't finished my studies yet."Sebastian sighed. "I figured as much, but I really have to go back now.""Then you should go back and deal with the situation first. Don't
"Thank you for not giving up on me, thank you for steadfastly staying by my side, and thank you for praying for me."He seemed very haggard, as though he had endured endless torment. Yet, he still exuded a captivating handsomeness.Though his eyes appeared dim from exhaustion, they radiated determination. His deep, dark pupils seemed like a mystery, hiding countless untold stories.Rosalie was surprised. "How did you know I prayed?""I guessed," he said with a gentle smile, the corner of his mouth curving into a soft, charming arc.Rosalie smiled back at him. It wasn't too hard to guess, actually."Anyway, I'm glad that you're awake now. I'm sorry Theodore and Sebastian hurt you. They didn't know and thought you were a bad person. They were just too worried about me. I apologize on their behalf. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you. I'll cover all the medical bills and any future compensation and care. You don't need to worry about anything.""Those two men seem very concerned
