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
Rosalie and Sebastian were cousins. Yvonne didn't know how to break this news to her.Rosalie was part of the Spencers now, but if she found out that she was an illegitimate child of the Jackson family, how would she react? Yvonne couldn't even begin to imagine."Vonnie, what's wrong with you?" Rosalie asked.Rosalie wasn't upset that Yvonne had raised her doubts. She just found it strange because Yvonne had always seemed to support her and Sebastian being together, but now, she appeared reluctant. Something must have happened to change Yvonne's view."It's nothing. I'm just wondering… If my brother refuses to divorce you, will you really stay married to him for the rest of your life? Will you two become a real couple?"The more Yvonne thought about it, the more uneasy she became. At first, knowing that Sebastian liked Rosalie made her feel incredibly happy. Every time she saw the way Sebastian looked at Rosalie, she felt warm and fuzzy inside. She practically fed off their happin
In the ward, Sebastian kept yawning.Where had Rosalie gone? Why hadn't she come back yet? Where exactly had Yvonne taken her?The more Sebastian thought about it, the more worried he was. He was afraid that Rosalie had gone to see Theodore. If she met Theodore, would he tell her what really happened at the scene back then? Would Rosalie believe him?Sebastian was so nervous that his heart pounded.The caretaker outside the ward was dozing off. Sebastian glanced at the phone on the couch, and carefully tried to get out of bed.Suddenly, a large hand grabbed his arm. Yerick flashed him a smile. "Don't move around. I'll tell Rose if you do.""You brat! Let go of me," Sebastian said angrily.The caretaker at the door suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straighter."Alright, I'll let go." Yerick loosened his grip. "But if you get up, I'm telling Rose. I'm her most beloved friend, so I'll take her side."Yerick's defiant look made Sebastian want to punch him."I just need to use t
Yvonne's words seemed like she was criticizing Sebastian, but she was implying that if Yerick hadn't misbehaved, Sebastian wouldn't have gotten so angry. Sebastian wasn't the type to hit someone for no reason, so Yerick must have pushed him too far.Sebastian glanced at Yvonne, and let out a soft sigh. Before Rosalie could speak, he turned to her and said, "I'm sorry, it was my temper. I shouldn't have raised my hand. Don't hold it against me."Yerick pursed his lips, then glanced at Rosalie and muttered, "Rose, since he's already apologized, why don't you forgive him? Even though he scared me, you arrived in time, so I didn't get hurt."Yerick's sweet words sounded like he was forgiving Sebastian, but in fact, he was subtly describing how terrifying Sebastian was and how fortunate it was that Rosalie had come back in time.Rosalie sighed softly."Seb, Yerick, since you two clearly don't like each other, I won't force you to meet again. I think it's best if you don't act like best
In the car, Yerick sat quietly in the driver's seat. Yvonne turned to glance at him. "Is it alright if I call you Yerry?""Sure," Yerick replied with a smile. "Miss Carter, you can call me whatever you like.""You're calling me 'Miss Carter?""Yes," Yerick nodded. "Otherwise, would you prefer 'Madam Carter?"Hearing Yerick's sweet tone, Yvonne said, "You can call me Yvonne.'""I don't do first name basis that casually," Yerick said stubbornly, turning to look out the window.Yvonne curled up the corners of her mouth. "So, it seems that you will only be on a first-name basis with Rose.""That's for sure. There's only one Rose, and I can't be on a first-name basis with everyone, or I'll be called a playboy," Yerick said with a sweet smile. "Rose is so nice; I really like her. Only her.""Then, do you like my brother?"Yerick suddenly fell silent and looked at Yvonne in confusion. "Why should I like your brother?""Does that mean you don't like him?"Yerick pouted. "I'm not tel
Rosalie nodded. "Yes."Sebastian felt a pang of distress. Since she had met Theodore, what exactly did they talk about? Would Theodore have said bad things about him? If he revealed that matter…Sebastian struggled to find an excuse, and how to explain this to Rosalie. He mustn't let Theodore harm their relationship."Rose, what did you talk about?"Sebastian tried to keep his tone calm. He couldn't appear too anxious when he didn't have all the information. If he seemed too eager, it would make him seem guilty. He was not at fault. Theodore deserved it!Rosalie looked up at him with sadness. "Even though I went to see him, it's like… I didn't see him at all."Sebastian was taken aback. "So, did you meet him or not?"Rosalie looked exhausted. "I went to find him, and when I reached his ward, he didn't want to let me in. I could only speak to him through the door, but he didn't respond for a long time. In the end, I could only leave after telling him everything I wanted to say."
Rosalie lowered her head, and caressed her belly. "What if… What if he doesn't call me?"A glimmer of determination flashed in Sebastian's eyes as he said sadly in her ear, "If he doesn't call you, it means he really doesn't want the child."Rosalie's tears fell immediately.Feeling her body tremble, Sebastian quickly pulled her into an embrace. "Don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm clumsy with words. I really believe he will call you. How could he not? I'll wait with you. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side."Sebastian gently stroked the back of her head as he smiled slyly.He suspected that Theodore hadn't heard what Rosalie said last night. Otherwise, given Theodore's obsession with Rosalie, if he knew she was pregnant with his child, how could he have had no reaction at all?If his guess was correct, then Rosalie wouldn’t receive a call today. He needed to give her hope and make her believe Theodore would call. Despair was what would make Rosalie completely give up on Theodore.
Seeing the doctor's solemn expression, Rosalie asked uneasily, "Doctor, what's wrong?"The doctor hung the stethoscope around his neck, and then said, "Your heartbeat is a bit slow. Please lie down so that I can examine you thoroughly."Rosalie nodded, and lay down on the bed.The doctor gently touched her belly and then pressed on a specific spot."Ah!" Rosalie let out a cry of pain. "That hurts!"The doctor asked, "Do you feel like you were pricked by a needle when I pressed down here?"Rosalie nodded. "Yes. What's wrong?"The doctor's expression grew even more serious. "Your condition has worsened. You need surgery immediately.""What?" Sebastian immediately tensed up. "Why?"The doctor turned to Sebastian and asked, "Did the patient get proper rest last night?""Well..." Sebastian glanced at Rosalie, but didn't answer for her.Rosalie spoke up. "I went out last night, but I was in a car and a wheelchair. I didn't do any physical activity.""Miss Young, I reminded you no
In the middle of the night, Theodore lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling until there was a knock on the door."Theo." It was Aurora's voice.Theodore sat up from the bed, pulled back the covers, and then got up to open the door. "You're here.""Theo, did you need something from me?"Theodore had someone bring Aurora here.Aurora was worried that Theodore was going to ask her to have an abortion again, but the doctor had been very clear—she couldn't have an abortion. After her heart transplant, having this child was already a great miracle. An abortion would cause her health severe harm."Aurora, the child can't grow up without a father. Let's get married. We'll have the wedding next week. It's better to do it as soon as possible," Theodore said.Aurora was stunned, looking at him in disbelief. "Theo, what did you say?"It was the dead of night, and she thought she was dreaming.When Theodore had sent someone to find her, Aurora thought she was dreaming and even pinched herself.
"Theo, you're a father now. How can you do this?" Rosalie started crying. "You're doing this on purpose. You're resorting to extreme measures to force me, aren't you? Theo, you're a coward! I hate you!"Rosalie covered her mouth and cried uncontrollably. Her sobs grew more frantic, almost taking her breath away.The shards of glass cut Theodore's fingers, and drops of blood fell onto his shoulder. Hearing Rosalie's crying voice snapped him out of his trance and pulled him back from the edge."Rose, are you crying?" She was actually crying for him. "Please don't cry. I'm begging you. Don't cry, okay?""You can't stop me from crying! Theo, if you want to die, go ahead. I'll hate you for the rest of my life! Grandma also won't get to rest in peace!"Theodore's hand grew weaker and weaker, and finally, the shard of glass slipped from his palm."Rose, I won't do anything foolish anymore."Rosalie let out a sigh of relief.The two of them suddenly fell into silence. After a long time, Rosali
"Rose…" Theodore stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud, spilling the alcohol from the bottle onto the floor.Rosalie heard the noise on the other end of the phone and became worried."Theo, do you really have to drink? I know I can't do anything about it because it's your choice, but this won't change anything. It only makes me look down on you!""Rose, I'm sorry." Theodore lowered his head, the pain evident in his voice. "I'm really sorry. Please, don't be with Justin. Come back to me. Let's remarry, okay? I promise there won't be any other women around me. I'll replace all the secretaries, assistants, and servants with men. Please, I'm begging you.""Weren't you the one who told me you were going to marry Aurora? Why do you want to remarry me now? Can you be trusted when you keep changing your mind like this?""I said that out of anger. I don't want to marry her, Rose. I want to remarry you. Please come back to me. I'll do anything you want.""Theo, did you also say that Auror
"Where's Aurora? Isn't she with Theodore? Didn't they say they were going to get married?"The butler was stunned. "Are they getting married? I didn't know about that. Mr. Spencer never mentioned it."Rosalie guessed that Theodore's earlier words were likely said in a fit of anger. She then asked, "Is Aurora really pregnant with his child?""Yes, she is. It's his child. He took her to the hospital for a checkup."Rosalie was silent for several seconds before saying, "If that's the case, then why didn't you tell Aurora? What good does it do to call me?""Miss Young, you know that what you say holds more weight than what Miss Payne says," the butler replied.Finally, Rosalie sighed. "Give him the phone and tell him I need to speak with him.""Alright." The butler quickly ran to Theodore with the phone in his hand.Theodore had just opened a bottle of alcohol and was about to down it when the butler spoke from behind. "Mr. Spencer, Miss Young wants to speak with you."Hearing "Miss Young,
Did Theodore still think she was his wife? How could he be so self-centered?Justin said nothing. At this point, whatever he said would only make things worse. He hadn't expected Theodore to suddenly show up as well.Theodore suddenly laughed bitterly. "Alright, I'm going to find Aurora now. By the way, let me tell you some good news."Theodore had lost all sense of reason and was completely driven by his emotions. "She's pregnant with my child. This time, it's real. I took her to the hospital for a checkup. I've made my decision. I'm going to marry her! From now on, I won't care about you. I'll take care of my wife and child!"Theodore laughed maniacally."Good," Rosalie gritted her teeth. "Then go get married, become a father, and stop bothering me!"Tears welled up in Rosalie's eyes. So, Aurora was finally pregnant with his child.He had previously said that he wanted to break up with Aurora, yet she was already pregnant with his child so quickly. Theodore had never changed."Fine.
Justin was caught off guard as Theodore's fist landed on his face.Rosalie was shocked. "Theo, are you crazy?!""You bastard!" Theodore's eyes reddened as he charged toward Justin in a frenzy."Don't!" Rosalie rushed forward to stop him."Stay back!" Justin was worried that Theodore might accidentally hurt her.The two men began to wrestle.If it were anyone else, Justin wouldn't have hesitated, but Theodore was Rosalie's ex-husband. He knew that if anything happened to Theodore, Rosalie would be affected, so he didn't use his full strength.Rosalie was furious. "Theo, what are you doing? Stop it right now!"Theodore was already seething with rage, and now Rosalie seemed more concerned about stopping him when he was fighting with Justin. She was clearly siding with Justin.This drove Theodore into a complete loss of control.With a loud thud, Justin's gun fell to the ground.Quick as lightning, Theodore grabbed the gun and pointed it at Justin. "You bastard! You deserve to die!""Theo!
Chandra suddenly sighed deeply."Alright. Call someone to clean this up," she said, turning to sit down on the chair. As she did, she noticed something on the floor next to the broken table.She bent down to pick it up and discovered it was a small charm, probably from Rosalie's bag.-Justin drove Rosalie back home.Rosalie didn't get out of the car, but instead turned to him and said, "Justin, you should leave.""What?" Justin furrowed his brow. Just as he was about to ask why, he suddenly recalled something and could guess the reason for her request."The conflict today was too dangerous. I'm worried the police might come after you. You should leave for a while and lay low," she explained. "If I leave, what will happen to you?" Justin asked, his concern clear in his voice."I'll take care of myself. You don't need to worry. Just leave quickly and take the car with you.""Rose, I can't leave you alone. What if something happens to you?""If you leave, I won't have any problems. Plea
Xyla was stunned. She couldn't understand why Chandra had abruptly shifted her stance.The police officers seemed equally puzzled. "Miss Fisher, is that really the case?" one of them asked."Of course," Chandra replied, her eyes flashing with authority. "Do you think I'm lying? My subordinates got into a fight. I'll deal with them myself. You officers are busy with more important matters, so there's no need for you to handle such trivial issues."The police exchanged uncertain glances before one of them spoke up, "We received a report that there were others involved, not just you. Where are the others?""They were my guests," Chandra said curtly. "After this embarrassing scene with my bodyguards, I couldn't very well ask them to stay, so I asked them to leave. Is there anything else you need?"The officers sensed that the situation wasn't as simple as Chandra made it out to be. However, given her status, they knew better than to push the matter. Clearly, she didn't want this incident
"You..." Chandra's eyes bulged in fury. "I'll remember this!""That's exactly what you should do," Justin replied coldly. "So you won't pull another foolish stunt next time. I'll count to three. If you don't hand over the child, I'll blow your brains out!""Three...""Mom, just give the child back to her! Hurry!" Xyla pleaded desperately."Two..."Chandra seethed with rage, but her survival instincts kicked in. The man in front of her looked like someone who wouldn't hesitate to follow through on his threat. Just as Justin was about to say the final number, she reluctantly handed the child over.Rosalie rushed forward and snatched Steve back, holding him tightly. She cooed softly, "Steve, don't be scared. Mommy's here."From outside, the wail of police sirens broke through the air. Hearing the commotion in the private dining room, the restaurant staff had called the police."You need to leave now," Xyla urged. "I'll explain to the police."Slap!Chandra slapped Xyla hard across the fac
