Family Rules

At 2:54 pm

As Rosie typed seriously inside her laptop, going through a patient file, her phone suddenly rang.

Rosie massaged her temples in slight anger and frustration. "Imma fu*king kill these people!" She grumbled. But when she saw the caller ID, she instantly swiped the receive button.

"Dad!"

"Hey, Rosie, your mother came to my company right now, she told me what you did." His voice sounded gruffy.

"Father, what did I do?" Rosie asked awkwardly, she never expected her mom to tattle tale on her, quite unexpected.

"Our family rules forbid sharing your body with different men, the man who defiled you is the one you shall be with for the rest of your life." His voice was so strict, without sugarcoating, causing Rosie to twitch her eyebrows.

Rosie sighed and closed her eyes in frustration. "Father, he is a call boy, I'm not sure he is a good candidate, how are we sure he will make a good husband?" Rosie asked quizzically.

For one thing, she dared not argue with her dad, he could easily have a heart attack, so Rosie tried to be as gentle and calm as possible while talking to him.

"Call Boy, poor boy, rich boy, gangster or not, it’s none of my business, you should have thought it through before making that mistake. Anyway, your mother ran a background check on him, and his background is clean, from our findings, you are the first woman he slept with, you can rest assured. You are no longer young, and can't be willful as you were in the past. I want to hear good news regarding this matter in two days, understand?" Her father is an authoritarian because he was once in the military.

"But faith…" He cuts her off.

"I don't need any excuses if your elder brother hears of this, It's not gonna be simple." He disconnected the call and Rosie stood up, she held her anxious heart, calming her anger.

Getting married like this was not what she planned, like every other woman, Rosie wanted to marry out of love. At this point, she started regretting her decision two days ago.

She banged her fists on the table, sending a few of the things falling off. "How unlucky." She was pissed.

The telephone in her office rang, and she picked it up without thinking.

"Hello?" The nurse at the other end offered the phone and felt shivers climb her skin and she knew instantly that her body was upset.

"Ms White, there is a patient who doesn't let someone of the opposite gender touch him, he said he hurt his genitals…" The nurse's voice was reduced by two octaves lower, she felt embarrassed, and her cheeks were hot and red already.

"Aren't there male doctors, nurses, surgeons etc? I employed male doctors for people with this kind of situation, why are they calling me for such a thing?" Rosie lashed, and the nurse shivered.

"Miss white… He… said you are the reason he is having problems in his genitals and wants you and nobody else to come check up on him." The nurse uttered the last part in a tiny voice.

"What??? Is there such a thing? Have the male doctor access him!" She blushed in anger and hung up the call.

Rosie felt that she might go crazy sooner or later.

Suddenly, the telephone rang again and she picked it up.

"Miss white, you have to hurry up, a male doctor forcefully tried to check up on him, but in return, the patient turned aggressive, hurry!!" The urgency in Doctor Joan's voice was undeniable.

"Sighs, I will be there in five minutes." Rosie stood up from her swivel chair and headed downstairs.

The scene she met downstairs was undeniably anger-provoking.

The patient grabbed a male nurse and was nearly strangling him while others were dumbfounded.

"Dang it! What are the security doing?" Rosie walked forward fearlessly, tapped the patient on his shoulders and he instinctively turned.

But the instant he turned, Rosie raised her palm and gave him a dirty slap.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Do you have a problem? How dare you embarrass, humiliate and beat up a doctor in my hospital? Who gave you such guts?" The instant she finished talking, she instantly saw the man.

She paused for a while in surprise and regained her memory.

"He tried to inject me forcefully with strange drugs first," James replied, his earlier cold and ruthless expression turned gentle in an instant.

Rosie looked at the other nurses and they shook their heads in acquiescence.

"Doctor Nathan, why will you go against his wish? If he doesn't want treatment you either report to me and get my verdict, what do you mean by all this? How do you expect him to react?" She rebuked the doctor.

"And you! Did you have to strangle him? you have quite a big temper don't you?" She pointed fiercely at James.

Her voice made everyone shiver, and from her tone, everyone could tell how angry she was.

After all, who doesn't know the calm but savage Doctor Rosie?

"Clean up this mess." She instructed the nurses and brought her gaze back to James. "Mr. Logan, follow me to my office." She dropped her orders and walked off instantly.

Doctor Nathan glared fiercely at Logan's back and hissed in pain. "Mother fu*ker." His words made Logan who had walked a few steps stop instantly, Logan turned and gave Red a murderous gaze, making him shiver, before walking briskly, following Rosie's footsteps.

Nathan could tell that he had yet another love rival, that's if it's what it was before. He suddenly smiled, at least his beautiful Rosie avenged him by hitting that monster. Red doesn't want anything that could jeopardize the hospital, so he would let this matter go, to avoid putting Rosie in a tight spot.

Logan walked at an even pace, easily catching up with the frustrated Rosie. As soon as they both entered the office, Rosie turned and looked straight into his piercing blue eyes.

"Are you trying to agitate me??" she whipped her hair backwards, her actions making his arms roll up because of their nearly intimate positions.

"Yes, while we were doing it, you bit my genitals hard, although at that moment, it was very exciting, it was painful later on. I want to be healthy for you, which is why I came straight to your hospital after learning about it." This man is very shameless, Rosie's cheeks burned hot.

"I bit you??" His words shocked her so hard that she stared stupidly at him. "Was I that wild that night?" She blushed very hard, her face turning red by 30 degrees.

The problem was that Logan's face was cold and so serious that Rosie believed all his nonsense.

Logan was inwardly pleased. 'At least my little girl is always stupid and gullible, otherwise, how will she marry him? This temper of hers hasn't receded one bit.' He suppressed the urge to chuckle and watched as shock crossed through her face.

It's just that Rosie's IQ seems to drop whenever James Logan is around.

She distanced herself away from James and sat back in her swivel chair.

"Me. Logan, when you said you were a virgin, was that true?" Rosie blinked her eyes thrice in quick succession.

"Mmn." He nodded and Rosie was once again shocked by his shameless answer.

"I need your help, Logan, my parents won't let me be if I don't marry you." Rosie held her forehead together.

"Hmm. Your parents are very sensible, we need to get married, create a family together, love each…" James counted.

"Keep dreaming then, creating a family now isn't my priority, I don't know how to be a mother. I don't believe in love again." She rebuked and felt like her sore spot was poked.

"Do you think you were the only one taken advantage of? I am also a virgin, if I was a Cinderella in glass shoes, it would have been me saying that." Rosie gasped as she uttered in one breath.

"What you said Is right. Besides, you are a rich doctor, if I were greedy, I would have asked for a huge compensation, but I'm not. I promised my late mom that I would marry the first woman I slept with." James shook his head reasonably and cleared all her doubts without a hitch.

"Hehe. I don't think that's necessary." Rose thought that he was joking.

As if he knew what she was thinking, he turned his head and said, "I'm not joking. I need to marry you. I am very filial and won't cheat, rest assured, I can be your husband and a gigolo if you want."

Rose was at a loss for words, only to start laughing the next second.

This man spoke as if marriage was a splendid thing.

"Ms. Rosie White, permit me to be your husband, that way I can be responsible for you too. I'm not wealthy, but I promise to take care of your needs and make life more comfortable for you." His righteous words sounded like an oath of loyalty, fidelity, and eternity to her ears, causing her to shiver and take a step back, as realization dawned on her.

'This man, is he a psychopath???' Rosie wondered, truly baffled.
