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
After Rosalie agreed, the medical staff immediately wheeled her bed away. Sebastian, holding her phone, slipped it into his pocket and held her hand tightly all the way."Rose, don't worry. I'll be waiting right outside the door. I'm not going anywhere. Both you and the baby will be safe.""Seb, don't forget what I told you. No matter what happens, make sure the baby is safe. As long as I'm still alive, the baby has to stay in my womb until it's born.""Rose, I promise."Sebastian cupped her face, and when they reached the operating room, the doctor told Sebastian to stop."Doctor, wait a moment."After Sebastian spoke, the medical staff stopped pushing the bed. Sebastian bent down, and gave Rosalie a gentle kiss on the forehead.Tears streamed down Rosalie's face. Sebastian was always by her side whenever anything happened. She felt she could never repay him.Sebastian gazed deeply at her. "I'll be waiting for you."Rosalie nodded gently.Then, the medical staff wheeled her
