Yvonne drove Rosalie to the villa she lived in with Theodore before they got divorced.The butler was shocked to see Rosalie. “Mrs. Spencer, are you alright? I saw what happened on the news.”“I’m fine. I’m safe right now. Where’s Theo? Did he come back here?”“Mr. Spencer didn’t. He hasn’t been back the past few days.”“Did he contact you?”“He didn’t come back here, and didn’t contact me either. Mrs. Spencer, do you know where he went?”Rosalie almost lost her balance, had Yvonne not caught her just in time.‘Impossible,’ she thought. ‘Theo must still be alive! He had to be!’“Anthony, if Theo comes back, call me at once.”He nodded. “I will.”After Rosalie left, she said to Yvonne, “I’ve got to buy a phone and register for a new card, or they wouldn’t be able to reach me even if they tried.”“Sure. I’ll take you somewhere to get that done.” Yvonne drove Rosalie to a phone shop to buy a new phone and register the same mobile number. After that, she drove Rosalie to many
When the servant pushed a door open, Rosalie was shocked to see someone kneeling on the ground. It was Laila!Laila was tied up with a rope and severely injured, but she was still alive. The moment she saw Rosalie, she screamed in agitation, “Rose, save me! Save me!”The servant said, clearly frightened, “Mrs. Carter, there was a note found on her.”The servant handed the note to Rosalie.Rosalie saw the words written on it. ‘A gift for you.’“Mrs. Carter, should we call the police?”“No need. Leave us.”There was no point calling the police. Whoever did this vanished without a trace after blatantly throwing Laila here, and no one found him out.“Rose, what’s going on?” Yvonne asked.“She’s my aunt. I’m bringing her to the hospital,” Rosalie said.She had to figure out what was going on. Was Laila telling the truth? Was she really adopted by her parents?If so, who were her biological parents?“Alright. I’ll drive you two there.”Yvonne had to stay by Rosalie’s side, o
Worried, Rosalie asked, “Will these tests harm the baby?”The doctor comforted her and said, “Don’t worry. These tests are very safe and conventional. They won’t harm you or your baby. We’ll try our best to reduce unnecessary pain and discomfort.”Rosalie looked down and caressed her belly, her body trembling slightly.Yvonne wrapped her arm around Rosalie’s shoulders and comforted her. “Medical science is so advanced right now. You’ll be fine. Let’s do the tests first.”Rosalie nodded and, with Yvonne’s help, left the consultation room.The moment they opened the door, Rosalie saw Sebastian standing right outside. He asked anxiously, “Rose, how are you feeling?”Rosalie frowned. “What are you doing here?”She approached him and asked, “Did you find Theo? Quick, tell me where he is.”The anxiety on Sebastian’s face gave way to cold indifference. “I haven’t found him yet. I was worried about you, so I came looking for you.”Rosalie’s hopes were dashed upon hearing Sebastian’s w
“Doctor, how’s my wife?” Sebastian asked, his face etched with worry.The doctor looked through the test results, and said, “Ms. Young, you have cervical weakness. You can’t take the weight of the baby.”“Is it serious? Will it harm the baby?” Rosalie asked.The doctor said, “Given that you’re currently 19 weeks pregnant, cervical weakness might result in premature dilation, which would be a huge risk to the baby’s life and might result in miscarriage.”Rosalie’s heart almost leaped out of her throat. She asked anxiously, “What should I do? What can I do to save my baby’s life?”“Don’t panic,” the doctor comforted her. “Although your cervix is effaced, it can be treated through surgery.”“What kind of surgery?” Sebastian asked.“Cervical cerclage involves stitching around the cervix to strengthen it and prevent premature labor or miscarriage of the fetus.”“Is this the best option available?”The doctor nodded. “It is. It’s the safest and most effective option right now.”“Wh
Rosalie was very firm, even appearing somewhat unreasonable.“Miss Young, calm down. Of course, you can sign the consent form. I’ll arrange the surgery for you right away.”Although that was the law, in general, hospitals would still seek the consent of the family to avoid medical disputes. However, since Rosalie was so resolute and had even mentioned a lawyer, the hospital had no choice but to comply.Rosalie was staying in a VIP ward of the obstetrics and gynecology department, with Sebastian accompanying her all the way. He covered Rosalie with a blanket.“Seb, you can leave now,” Rosalie said coldly.Sebastian was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”Rosalie turned to look at him coldly. “You don’t want me to have the surgery because you don’t want me to keep this child, right?”If she hadn’t been so adamant, would Sebastian have opposed the surgery? In that case, her child would be in danger.“Why would I do that, Rose? This is also my child. How could I not care about him?”“No,
“Seb, I’m sorry,” Rosalie said sadly. “I panicked. I care so much about my baby, I spoke without thinking. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”Sebastian wiped the tears from his face, and turned around. “Rose, I know how much you care about this child. I wouldn’t dare to think that I was more important than your child. But please, consider my feelings as well. Don’t doubt my love for you.“I’m willing to do anything for you, even give up my life. Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m just so worried about you, because all I think about is you. I admit the fact that this is Theodore’s child makes me uncomfortable, but I love you so much that I will care for your child. I won’t harm him in any way. I will raise him well and make sure he never suffers!”Every word he said was genuine; he could truly love the child as if it were his own because he loved Rosalie. Yet, his pain was real too. Rosalie’s cold words had wounded him deeply, and he was in agonizing pain.Rosalie couldn’t help but cry.
“If such a situation really arises, I will die with my child,” Rosalie said softly as she wiped the tears away from Sebastian’s face.Her actions were gentle, but her words were cruel. “Seb, remember this: if the child lives, I live; if the child is gone, I am gone. I’ve already given up Theodore, so I cannot give up this child.”Seeing Rosalie’s resolute gaze, Sebastian knew there was no room for negotiation. He felt a mixture of hatred, heartache, and a tumult of painful emotions.Finally, he couldn’t help but pull Rosalie into his arms, holding her tightly. “Rose, you’re cruel! I hate you!”Rosalie closed her eyes in pain, tears flowing uncontrollably. She knew her words were harsh and would hurt Sebastian, but for the sake of her child, she had to do this. She couldn’t afford to take any chances.There was no such thing as a perfect person in this world. It was impossible for a person to be free of wicked thoughts.“Seb, I’m sorry. I know it’s my fault. I’m truly sorry. If yo
“Rose, promise me you won’t divorce me, okay? I’m begging you!”“Seb, this isn’t fair to you. The child I’m carrying isn’t yours, and we didn’t marry each other under normal circumstances. You’ve lost your memory now, but I believe when you regain it, you’ll understand. You might even want to divorce me yourself.”“Let’s discuss that after I regain my memory. But until then, I beg you, don’t divorce me. Let me be your husband, okay?”“But Seb, this really isn’t fair to you. You don’t remember the past. Have you considered that you might not have loved me before?”“I love you,” Sebastian almost shouted, “Rose, I love you, so stop saying these things.”“No, Seb. You’re wrong! You don’t love me, but someone else. You love…”“I don’t care,” Sebastian said emotionally. “I don’t want any other woman. I only want you. Don’t talk to me about other women.”“But there is another woman. You’ve said so before.”“That was in the past. Rose, I don’t care what I said before. All I know now is
