Christopher didn't seem too happy, so Rosalie explained, “I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to reassure you.”“I’m very reassured by you. The request I made wasn’t targeting you. I just think that since your marriage with Seb isn’t real, it’s not good to drag things out for too long. It’s better for you both if you end it early. It’s not that I think you’re not worthy of my nephew. I can tell that you want a divorce soon, too.”Upon understanding Christopher’s intent, Rosalie nodded. “Yes, you’re right. I misunderstood you. I’m sorry about that.”Whether Christopher was looking down on her or if it really was as he explained, it didn’t matter to Rosalie. She trusted his explanation. He didn’t look like he was lying.“It’s alright. It’s understandable that you’d think that way. I didn’t make things clear enough, and caused you to misunderstand,” he said. Rosalie didn’t expect Sebastian to have such a kind and understanding uncle. Perhaps because of his status, he had seen a lot an
Rosalie patted the back of his hand. “It’s fine, it’s not your fault. You just woke up from a coma, and you don’t remember anything. It’s normal to be afraid. I understand how you feel completely.”Sebastian nodded. “Yes, I was very afraid first. I desperately wanted you to be by my side all the time. But now, I feel better. Although I still want you by my side, I want you to be happy even more.”“As long as you slowly recover, I’ll be happy.” A thought suddenly came to Rosalie’s mind. “Oh yes. Your uncle dropped by today. Do you feel like you remembered anything when you talked to him?”Sebastian thought for a moment. “Bits and pieces of my past, but they’re all fragments that I can’t piece together. I’m sorry.”“Why apologize to me? It’s not your fault, and it’s fine. Even if they’re in fragments, it’s good enough. There’s no need to panic or overdo things. Let nature take its course, and things might turn out better.”Sebastian nodded. “Honey, you’re the best. Can I hug you?”
“Rose, I’m serious,” Sebastian said to her retreating figure.Rosalie turned around. “If I went back and rested, I wouldn’t come back. Is that still fine?”“Why?” Sebastian asked in a panicked voice. “What did I do wrong this time?”“If you don’t want to do something wrong, then listen to me and be good. If I really left, are you sure your imagination won’t run wild?” That was what Rosalie was worried about—-that Sebastian might put up a front. He couldn’t bear letting her stay here and take care of him, but he would get scared if she actually left.Given his current condition, it wasn’t appropriate for him to be worried. Staying by his side would soothe his frazzled nerves, and help with his recovery. She didn’t mind that. The faster he recovered, the better it was for the both of them.Sebastian lowered his head guiltily. True, he had been letting his imagination run wild. His brain had been in overdrive throughout the time Rosalie was away, and he didn’t keep his emotions i
He sounded a little panicked as he threw away the covers and tried to get down from the bed.The nurse immediately stood up, and walked to him. “I’m fine. Please don’t get out of bed.”She pulled the sheets up for Yerick, and reminded him, “Don’t move. Lie down.”“I’m sorry. Did I scare you just now?” Yerick looked innocently at her.The nurse’s heart softened immediately, and the fear that rose up in her chest was instantly dispelled. “I’m fine, but how are you feeling?”“There’s just been so much going on recently. I’m so frustrated over how I can’t get out of bed after the operation. I didn’t mean to lose my temper just now. Please don’t be angry at me,” he pleaded. Yerick looked so pitiful, his expression as tears welling up in his eyes capable of breaking many hearts. The nurse’s heart softened even more. “I was a little scared just now, but I’m not angry. If there’s anything you’re upset about, feel free to tell me about it.”“No, I’m sure you’re not interested in my pr
She was eager to witness the battlefield."You're right! If they end up fighting each other, that would be perfect."That way, he wouldn't have to get his hands dirty.The nurse nodded. "Just wait. The opportunity will come. They’ll definitely fight over your friend. You don’t need to worry too much. You’re smart, so I’m sure she’ll have her own plans.""Exactly." Yerick's smile grew more radiant.However, for him, opportunities were never something one simply waited for—they were things he created with his own hands. If he wanted it, it would happen."Are you feeling better?" the nurse asked.Yerick nodded. "Much better."The nurse sighed in relief. "That’s good."Yerick’s lips curled into a barely perceptible, sinister smile. "Let’s keep our conversation today between us."The nurse patted her chest reassuringly. "Don’t worry! I won’t tell anyone.""Good, I trust you. But I really don’t like being lied to. If you do tell someone, then I’ll…" Yerick paused, as if contemplat
Yerick was being discharged today, and Rosalie had been bustling around early in the morning to take care of all the paperwork and arrangements for him.Rosalie walked Yerick to the hospital entrance. Though he was being discharged, he still needed time to recover and would require someone to look after him.She had already covered the cost of a caregiver to assist him until he was fully healed.At the hospital entrance, the car Rosalie had arranged was waiting. She released the wheelchair and moved to stand in front of Yerick. "Yerry, Chloe will take you home for now. She'll be there to take care of you, so don't worry.""Rose, thanks so much. I promise I'll pay you back." "There's no rush. Just focus on recovering. Don't think about the rest for now.""Thanks, you're so nice to me," Yerick said, his eyes brimming with tears; he looked as if he might start crying."Come on, Yerry. Don't cry, or I'll have to punch you," Rosalie said, patting him gently on the head. "You need
"You can't even handle a little scare. If someone actually tried to kill you, you'd probably pee your pants!"Yerick was curious to see how Chloe would react if faced with a real threat. The fear of death on this woman's face would surely be fascinating to observe.“You're so morbid, talking about killing and stuff. Even though you're my employer, I'm going to stop taking care of you if you keep scaring me. You'll have to find someone else,” Chloe said, genuinely upset.“Alright, I'll stop teasing you. After all, you're older than me. I should show you some respect.”Chloe rolled her eyes. “Respect? I'm only twenty-two, just four years older than you. I'm not that old!”Yerick's brows furrowed instantly, his gaze turning cold and distant.Chloe felt a chill from his grim look. Though he hadn't said a word, the eerie atmosphere seemed to suffocate her.“You're so timid,” Yerick said, pointing at her. “And you have the nerve to emphasize you're older than me?”Chloe pouted. “I'm
Rosalie snapped back to reality, and shook her head. "It's nothing. I'll be right back."She turned and walked away, with Theodore watching her retreating figure.Back in the hospital room, Rosalie explained to Sebastian that she needed to attend a wedding. She conveniently left out that Theodore would be accompanying her.Given Sebastian's current condition, mentioning Theodore's name would require further explanation. Rosalie feared such a revelation might be too much for Sebastian to handle, especially if he believed that all his memories were incorrect."Seb, I'll try to be back as quickly as I can. Rest well, and if you need anything, just give me a call.""It's alright, Rose. Just go. It's actually nice to see you busy with your own life," Sebastian replied, settling back into his pillows.Rosalie tucked him in. "I'll go now. I'll bring you some candy when I return."Sebastian chuckled. "Honey, do you think of me as a child?""Yep, I'm treating you like one. So, you'd bet
