Sebastian asked eagerly, "Did I propose to you? Can you tell me if it was a romantic scene?"After some thought, Rosalie said, "Yes, it was very romantic." It seemed like Sebastian had truly forgotten."That's good. Rose, the fact that you chose to marry me means you love me very much, right?"He gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. Every action of his was filled with affection.Rosalie suddenly felt nervous. The situation was spiraling out of control. Sebastian had lost a part of his memory, leading him to believe that their marriage was based on love."What's wrong?" Seeing Rosalie in a daze, Sebastian grew anxious. "Did I say something wrong? Don't you love me?"He grew increasingly panicked. "Rose, tell me the truth. What is going on?""Ugh!" Sebastian suddenly groaned, clutching his head and turning to the side in pain."Seb, what's wrong? How are you feeling? Do you have a headache?" Rosalie asked urgently.The heart rate monitor suddenly started to beep
"I've already asked the authorities to expedite the investigation, but we still don't have any leads. A lot of the surveillance footage wasn't retrievable. We don't even know where your brother went," Christopher said.Yvonne was stunned. "So the surveillance footage was deliberately destroyed? Who could have such capability?"Christopher nodded. "Yes, this person must be quite powerful to destroy all evidence.""Could it be Rose’s ex-husband?" Yvonne asked. "He’s been bothering Rosalie for some time now, and had multiple fights with Seb. Was he the one who deliberately harmed Seb? If he wanted to do this, he certainly could! Someone like him could definitely mobilize some forces to help him."Christopher frowned, and mused for a moment before saying, "He has a mistress who’s seriously ill and needs a heart transplant. Coincidentally, Sebastian's heart was a match, but the surgery didn't succeed. Soon after, another suitable heart became available.""Yeah, that's right!" Yvonne ag
Seeing Sebastian get increasingly agitated, Rosalie remembered the doctor's advice and said, "Seb, please don't act like this. I'm begging you.""No, Rose. I can't allow you to be harmed. I need to remember what happened."But each time he tried to recall, his headache would become unbearable."Seb." Rosalie embraced him, holding him close and caressing his face. "It's okay. Don't think about it. The most important thing right now is for you to focus on your recovery. You can think about it later when you're better."Look, there are so many bodyguards outside protecting us. I'm not in any danger. You've just woken up. If something happens to you now, what would I do? For my sake, please stop thinking about it, okay?"The warmth of her body calmed the agitated Sebastian significantly. In her embrace, he was as docile as a kitten, and he slowly closed his eyes.A wave of fatigue overcame him; he wrapped his arms around Rosalie's waist, holding her affectionately.Rosalie furrowe
Rosalie was stunned, as if a bomb had exploded in her head.The warmth of Sebastian's kiss still lingered on her lips, leaving her at a loss for what to do.He had kissed her so suddenly. However, seeing how satisfied and happy he was as he lay in her embrace, like a child who had just eaten candy, she couldn't bring herself to blame him.It wasn't Sebastian's fault. After all, he truly saw her as his wife, and it was normal for a husband to kiss his wife. If she reacted too strongly, it would surely upset him.Rosalie glanced at the time, and lowered her head. "Seb, you must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat. What would you like?"Sebastian thought for a moment, and replied, "I don't remember what I like to eat, but I love whatever you prepare for me." He smiled like a golden retriever.Rosalie nodded. "Then whatever I bring you later, you must eat it all and not be picky, okay?"She spoke to Sebastian like a gentle mother speaking to her child.Sebastian nodded obedien
"Really? He's awake?" Yerick asked excitedly. "That's great! Now you won't be sad anymore. I'm so happy!"He opened his arms. "Can I have a hug?""Alright, now." Rosalie lifted her hand and patted his head. "A hug? It's broad daylight, and I'm a married woman.""So what? I'm your brother," Yerick grumbled."Well, you're still an adult man."Yerick grinned happily."Why are you grinning like that?""You said I'm a grown man. I'm so happy! It means I'm not a kid anymore," Yerick said."Yes, you're not a child anymore. You're a little genius," Rosalie said, giving him a thumbs-up."Now that I know you're okay, I'm relieved. I'll leave now so I don't disturb you. We should have a meal together next time. We still haven't had that meal we talked about," he said."I'll treat you to a meal once this busy period is over," Rosalie said. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Bye!" Yerick waved goodbye.Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly doubled over, clutching his stomach and letti
To Sebastian, every minute and every second without Rosalie by his side was a torture, and he would count the seconds till he would see her again.Finally, the door to the ward was opened. Sebastian felt a surge of joy in his heart, thinking it must be Rosalie. He turned his head, looking glad, but saw his bodyguard coming in with food instead.His face fell immediately.“Mr. Carter, this is food we bought for you. Let me serve it to you.”There was a foldable table by the side of the bed which could be opened up with just the press of a button. The table opened up flat on the bed, so patients could eat on it.“Where’s Rose? Why did you come in?” he asked. The bodyguard explained, “Mrs. Carter said she had something to attend to and can’t come, so she asked me to prepare some food for you to eat. She wants you to rest well after the food. She’ll rush over once she’s done.”“What is she busy with?” Sebastian pressed further. “Where is she right now?”The bodyguard shook his hea
Rosalie waited outside the operating theater until it was nine at night.The doors to the theater finally opened after five arduous hours of surgery drew to a close.When the doctor came out, Rosalie rushed forward and asked, “Doctor, how is he?”“The patient’s appendix ruptured. Given his condition, we couldn’t do laparoscopy surgery and had to operate on him by the traditional method of open gastric surgery. When we did so, we found gastrointestinal perforations and adhesions, but the operation was a success. He needs a lot of rest and recuperation to prevent infection,” the doctor explained.“This means he’ll recover, right?”The doctor nodded. “Yes, he will. Make sure he gets lots of rest and he’ll recover.”Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief. “Got it. Thanks, Doctor.”Yerick was pushed out of the theater. He was still unconscious from the anesthesia, and Rosalie followed him back to the ward.Yerick needed someone to take care of him, but Rosalie couldn’t keep staying with hi
“Oh, is that so? Seems like Sebastian doesn’t care much about you. He’s not even bothering to bring you to the doctor for a check-up and see what’s wrong. You always look so weak and frail each time I see you, as if something is sapping all your energy,” Theodore said. Rosalie ignored him, and continued walking upstairs.Despite that, Theodore went on, “I’m serious. Something seems wrong with you. You clearly look weak, but you also put on weight. You really should go for a thorough check-up.”If they were still married, he would have many reasons to bring her for a health check-up. However, they were now divorced. He couldn’t force her, no matter how much he wanted to.Rosalie felt a little guilty. She was now slightly past three months pregnant and it was normal for her to put on some weight, but she was worried that Theodore would be suspicious.So she said, “Is that so? I weighed myself yesterday and lost a couple of pounds. Maybe I’m bloated.”Theodore found it even more su
