“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
Theodore nodded. “Alright. You look great in that outfit. You look good in anything.”In fact, he wanted to say that she would look even better if she weren't wearing anything and that he was the only one who could see her naked. Unfortunately, he no longer had that opportunity.What used to be easy for him to experience and enjoy, he now couldn't even express. Theodore couldn't help but think of Rosalie and Sebastian, wondering whether that man had seen Rosalie without anything on.Noticing the flicker of concern in Theodore's eyes, Rosalie asked, “What's wrong? Is there a problem?”Theodore shook his head. “No, it's nothing. Let's go.”He pressed the elevator button, and when the doors opened, they both stepped inside.Not far away, Yvonne ran over and repeatedly pressed the elevator button, but it was too late; the elevator was already descending. From a distance, she had seen Rosalie and Theodore standing together and stepping into the elevator, seemingly headed somewhere t
A trace of sadness flickered in Yvonne's eyes.What to do?Sebastian and Rosalie were cousins, but now, Sebastian had amnesia. He thought Rosalie was truly his wife, and had fallen for her. It was hard to imagine how he would react when the truth came out."I wish I could go with Rose to the wedding. I can't even accompany her to see her grandmother. I'm really a useless husband."Hearing Sebastian's sighs, Yvonne tried to comfort him. "Seb, don't say that. Once you're better, everything will be resolved.""Yes, but… I might never remember." Sebastian said, his gaze falling. "I don't know where Rose is now, or what kind of wedding she's attending. I really wish I could be there with her. If she's alone there and people ask where her husband is, what will she say? I really wish I could do something for her."He sighed deeply, and turned his head. "Thank you for coming to see me, but I'd like to be alone for a while, if that's alright."Yvonne nodded. "Of course. I won't disturb y
