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
Aside from herself, Rosalie couldn't give him anything else.She felt many things for Sebastian: gratitude, touched feelings, and guilt. However, her love had long since died.Sebastian closed his eyes in pain. Rosalie's silence was his answer. Everything was as he had expected, but the pain was still unbearable.He sighed softly, struggling with the heart-wrenching pain. "Alright, Rose. I won’t force you to answer. You don’t have to answer me, but I beg you to promise me that you won’t divorce me. I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do, but just this one thing—don’t divorce me. As long as you don’t divorce me, I will do whatever you ask.""Seb," Rosalie said hoarsely, "Is this a trade? If I agree to this, you’ll promise to protect my child when it comes down to it, right?""Yes. If that’s how you want to think of it, then it is a trade."Rosalie said, "You want me to exchange my marriage for this?""Rose, you can hate me or resent me, but I can’t control myself.
Rosalie wiped the tears from her face, and left his embrace. "Seb, maintaining this marriage might also cause you pain. Won't you regret it?"Sebastian took her hand and gently caressed her fingers. "I won't regret it. Being with you is my greatest happiness. I will treat you and the child well."Rosalie closed her eyes in pain and nodded resignedly. "Alright, I promise I won't divorce you."After saying this, Rosalie opened her eyes again. "But Seb, if one day you regain your memory and want to divorce me, you can tell me. You can change your mind."This statement sounded particularly harsh to Sebastian. How cruel Rosalie was, always wanting to divorce him.He had given so much for her, but she was unwilling to give him even a little love in return. Even the tiniest bit of love would be enough; just a moment where she considered him her true husband. Even if she was unwilling to share a bed with him, a kiss wasn’t too much to ask. But she wasn’t willing to give even that."Alrig
"Rose, what happened to the baby? What's wrong?" Sydney asked. "Mom, the doctor said my cervix is weakened, so I need to undergo a cervical cerclage procedure."Sydney sounded somewhat angry. "You should have told me about such a serious matter earlier!""I only found out today, and you weren’t answering my calls."Sydney sighed all of a sudden. "You said the surgery is the day after tomorrow, right?""Yes, it’s the day after tomorrow. Can you tell me where Theo is?" Rosalie was on the verge of crying again as she spoke.Sydney replied, "Rose, I wasn’t answering your calls because I knew you would ask about Theo. I couldn’t lie to you and say I didn’t know.""Mom, so you do know how Theo is now? Is he alive or dead? Please, tell me."Sydney was silent for a long time, seeming hesitant, but Rosalie’s anxious voice made her relent. "He’s still alive, but his injuries are serious. He barely survived. The doctor said that when he was brought to the hospital, he had an arrow lodg
“We knew you were kidnapped, and were very worried. Theo said you had been rescued and were safe, but he didn’t want to see you. When we asked him why, he wouldn’t say.”Rosalie wiped the tears from her face. “Mom, please, tell me where he is now. I need to see him before my surgery. I have something to tell him. Please, I’m begging you. I won’t be able to relax for the surgery otherwise.”Sydney was silent. After a long pause, she said. “What if Theodore still doesn’t want to see you?”“I don’t know. I just have to find him now. Please, Mom, for the sake of the baby.”Just then, a voice came from outside the door. “Rose, where are you?”Rosalie was startled. Sebastian had woken up.She quickly told Sydney, “Mom, text me the address. I’ll go find him myself.”“Do you want me to come pick you up?” Sydney asked.“No, I’ll go on my own. Just send me the address.”“Alright.”After ending the call, Rosalie opened the door and stepped out.Sebastian was anxiously looking for her i
