“Yerick, you’re already eighteen years old and of age now. How could you behave like a child?”Rosalie scolded him as if he were a child. In fact, she was merely three years older than Yerick.Yerick bowed his head, looking pitiful. “I’m sorry, Rose. I was wrong.”“Don’t act pitiful. Do you think that will make me give in to you?”Sebastian suddenly chuckled. It was great that Rosalie saw the true colors of this pretentious two-faced brat.“What’s so funny?” Rosalie immediately turned her attention to Sebastian. “Are you very proud of what you’ve done?”The smile on Sebastian’s face faded. “I didn’t mean that.”Rosalie was too much. How could she bring him down like this in front of Yerick?“If that’s not what you mean, why did you laugh? Weren’t you as immature as he was? Pretending to have a headache and collapsing weakly on the floor. Why don’t you go be an actor, since you have such great acting chops?”Sebastian forced a smile. “Rose, my head really hurts! Ouch…”He star
Seeing Yvonne, Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, here came someone sensible!She shook her head. “It’s a long story.”Realization dawned upon Yvonne. “I think I might have figured it out.”Rosalie approached Yvonne. “I need some fresh air.”“No problem. I’ll go with you. Let me bring in a wheelchair. Hang on.”“It’s alright. I don’t need a wheelchair.”“You do,” Yvonne insisted. “You’re going for an operation tomorrow, you can’t afford to tire yourself out. Sit on a wheelchair, and I’ll wheel you outside. The baby in your belly is of utmost importance.”Rosalie nodded. “Alright, then.”“I’ll go with you,” Sebastian offered.“Rose, I’ll go with you too,” Yerick volunteered.“No need. You two should just lie down here,” Rosalie said.Very soon, Yvonne came back with a wheelchair.Before leaving, Rosalie instructed a nurse, “Watch the two of them. They must lie in bed until I return. Tell me if any one of them gets out of bed. Don’t be bribed by them. Remember, however
“I’m due for an operation tomorrow, and the doctor advised me not to run around and tire myself out. It’s also not good if it affects my baby. I can’t put my baby on the line right now,” Rosalie explained.Her worried look told of her strong desire to go visit Theodore, no matter what it took.She could very well do so, but she was carrying his baby in her womb, and she had to consider the baby’s well-being.“Does Seb know that you wanted to visit Theodore today?” Yvonne asked.Rosalie nodded. “He knows. He knew about it last night. He wanted to bring me there today, but we couldn’t after hearing the doctor’s advice.”“I see.” The gears in Yvonne’s head shifted as a thought came to mind.Why did something sound strange?The more Rosalie thought about it, the more upset she was. “I wonder how tomorrow’s operation will go. I really want to see him. If only he would answer my call.”“Rose, you know where Theodore is right now, don’t you?”Rosalie nodded. “I do.”“Why don’t I dri
Sebastian and Yerick laid in bed, waiting for Rosalie, who never came back.Where did she go?Sebastian wanted to call her, but his phone was left on the couch.He wanted to stand up and get his phone, but the nurse walked over and said sternly, “You’re not allowed to get up.”His brows furrowed, he said, “I pay you your salary. You have to do what I say.”“Your wife is now the one paying me my salary.”Rosalie made herself very clear before she left.“Let me get up. My wallet is on the couch. I’ll give you all my money. We’ll do this under the table and keep it a secret from Rose,” Sebastian said.“I’ll tell Rose about it,” Yerick said as he gripped the sheets tight. “Get up, and I’ll tell her what you did. I’ll also tell her how you bribed the nurse.”“Yerick, do you have a screw loose? Do you really want to keep lying in bed?”Yerick smirked. “What’s wrong with that? It feels quite comfortable. The bed is nice and soft. The VIP ward is exceptional indeed, I feel more comfo
Yvonne drove Rosalie to the hospital. Rosalie kept checking the time, feeling anxious. "Vonnie, can you drive faster?""Rosalie, I know you want to see him, but calm down. There's a speed limit. If I go too fast and we get stopped by the traffic police, you won't be able to see him."Rosalie took a deep breath. She was indeed too anxious. She was about to see Theodore, and the closer the moment came, the more anxious she felt."The weather was fine just a moment ago, and now it's raining again," Yvonne remarked as she noticed the water droplets on the windshield. She turned on the wipers.Rosalie turned her head to look at the rain hitting the window, and a wave of sadness suddenly washed over her. She even felt a strong sense of unease."Rose, when you see him, what do you plan to say?" Yvonne asked.Rosalie shook her head. "I don't know. My mind is a mess. Right now, I just want to see him. I guess the first thing I'd do is apologize.""But what if he doesn't accept your apolo
Yvonne drove to the address Rosalie had given her, which was a high-end private hospital.By the time they arrived, visiting hours were over. When Rosalie tried to go to Theodore's ward, a nurse stopped her and wouldn't let her in.Rosalie had no choice but to call Sydney, who then contacted the hospital to allow Rosalie to enter. After receiving Sydney's call, the nurse no longer stopped Rosalie.After much hassle, Rosalie finally reached the door to Theodore's ward. She took a deep breath, feeling incredibly nervous.Seeing Rosalie's worried and fearful expression, Yvonne asked, "Do you want me to knock for you?""No, I'll do it myself."Yvonne nodded, and pushed her wheelchair forward.Rosalie gathered her courage, and gently knocked on the door. Theodore was right inside, just one door away from her. Rosalie's heart raced.There was no response. Could it be that Theodore had already fallen asleep? Should she not disturb him right now? But she had already come all this way,
"Theo, I have resented you, and I have been angry with you. I was once deeply disappointed in you, but now all I want is to see you. Nothing else matters anymore. Please, let me see you. Just feel your child."Rosalie spoke at length, but there was no response from the room—just complete silence.Beginning to feel anxious, she tried to get up from her wheelchair.However, Yvonne immediately pressed down on her shoulder and said softly, "Sit down. Whatever you want to say, you can say it while sitting."Rosalie had promised Yvonne that she would listen to her. Left with no choice, she remained seated in her wheelchair."Theo, please, even if you don't want to see me, can you at least respond to me? You're going to be a father. I understand that finding out now might make you very angry, especially since you have a right to know, and I kept it from you for so long. I'm sorry.""Theo, please, can you at least say something? Even if… Even if you hate me, the child is innocent. I know
The rain had stopped, but inside the car, Rosalie continued to cry, unable to hold back the overwhelming sadness in her heart.Yvonne kept comforting her, but it was no use. "Stop crying. It's not good for the baby.""I know, but I really can't hold it in," Rosalie sobbed."Rose, I understand how you feel, but you've already said everything you needed to say. Now, it's up to fate. You can't control what he thinks, but you can control yourself. You have surgery tomorrow, so focus on that first. We can deal with everything else later. The most important thing right now is your baby."Rosalie wiped away her tears. "I understand. Thank you, Vonnie. You've done so much for me, bringing me all this way to see Theo. At first, I thought you disliked him and didn't want me to see him. I never expected you'd end up helping me."Yvonne responded, "We're good friends, after all. Seeing you like this, of course, I'd help you however I can. Even if I don't like Theodore, I care about you.""Th
