After some reallocation, there were children waiting beside all four of them.Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and continued to work.The room inexplicably became quiet, except for the occasional ruckus that came from the children. However, they tried their best to suppress the noises as if they were afraid of disturbing the rest. The more Rosalie diagnosed and treated them, the heavier her emotions felt.During the first round, they simply took the children’s pulses and made an assessment of their physical condition. The remaining children who had some abnormalities would then undergo follow-up checks.It was the first time Rosalie was facing these abandoned children, and she felt great pity for them. Some of the children had mild symptoms and could be treated with acupuncture or holistic medicine. Some, however, had more severe symptoms and their hands were tied. The only thing they could do was to send the children to the hospital. The children’s treatmen
Seeing the child leave, the children’s eyes started tearing in unison.Rosalie lowered her head silently to hide her sadness.Xander’s voice sounded in her ears. "There are many such cases. We can only do our best to help them. It's okay to be sad, but don't be sad for too long."Rosalie naturally understood this truth, but it was still somewhat unacceptable when she was faced with it.What was more, the child just now was also so sensible.Xander did not say much and just added, "There are still children waiting."After saying that, he returned to his place.Rosalie took a few deep breaths and looked down at the children beside her leg. The children raised their heads one by one, staring at her eagerly. Their eyes were all red, and their initial fear was showing in their eyes again. They were worried about the child just now and were afraid that they would be next.Seeing that the children were afraid, Rosalie suppressed the sadness in his heart. She squatted down and looked
"Rosalie, it looks like the children like you very much."Leon sat down opposite her with a dinner plate, and Xander was with him.Rosalie smiled at Xander, then turned to respond to Leon's jeer. "I have more experience with children than you, and I specially prepared candy just in case. Fortunately, I did. They came in handy."If it were not for the candies, the children probably would not even cooperate so easily even if they liked her.After she said that, Xander, who was beside her, suddenly agreed. "It's a good solution. We can learn that for our free clinics in the future."Rosalie could not help but be stunned for a moment. She then pursed her lips and smiled. "I’ve raised children myself, so I have some experience.” Xander did not think much about it. He was just very concerned about her tolerance when she was diagnosing and treating the children. "There are still many children waiting to be diagnosed and treated in the afternoon. Dr. Jacobs, you should be feeling a litt
Lucius looked at her suspiciously, doubting the authenticity of her words.Even he himself felt that he was too obvious in the way he was targeting Rosalie just now. If it were anyone else, the matter would not possibly be brushed over so easily. However, the woman in front of him did not seem to really care.Seeing through his doubts, Rosalie explained lightly with a smile, "I've been in the business for some years. I've faced many challenges, and my attitude is even worse than yours. It's not that I haven't seen any of this before. So, I don’t really care if you question my medical skills. The only thing that makes me a little angry is your impatient attitude toward the children, but you’ve already apologized. I trust in every holistic medicine practitioner’s character, and I believe that the Lancers conducted a thorough inspection when they were inviting people.”When she said that, the gazes of the people around Rosalie gradually changed from that of curiosity to friendliness.
After the small interlude between Lucius and Rosalie, their meals could be considered a happy one.After lunch, the doctors of each respective room walked back together. The children also followed obediently. Many of the doctors were already getting along with the children. Rosalie was swarmed. Even Xander and the others could not really move.The candies in Rosalie's bag were practically cleaned out after they finally made it to the entrance of their room.When they were walking into the room, Lucius, who still had some candies in his hand, was even more popular than Rosalie. The children surrounded him, and their faces were full of smiles as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness from this morning.Seeing the children so close to Lucius, Rosalie's heart softened.She understood these children too well. Children never held grudges. No matter what you had done to them, as long as you showed them your sincerity, they would face you in the gentlest manner. Just like these chil
Xander turned around and instructed, "Have them send the supplies in."The staff member complied before turning around to head back out.Xander went out to take stock. Before he left, he rounded up Rosalie and Leon again.Soon, the car that was delivering the supplies drove in, followed by three ambulances.Don hopped off the truck at the very front and greeted the three of them respectfully.It was the first time Xander and Leon met him, but they could tell that Rosalie had already met him. Hence, they unanimously looked over at her and motioned for her to speak.Rosalie understood what they meant and nodded politely to Don, asking, “Mr. Juan, what’s this...?"Don smiled and replied, "President Quirke said that the children in the orphanage are very pitiful. Knowing that the Lancers are here carrying out a free clinic, he sent me over to deliver some supplies to the children. They’re nothing valuable, just some clothes, bedding, and the sort. We would have sent medicinal materi
It was not until the evening that the free clinic was over. All the children in the orphanage had received diagnoses and treatment. All the doctors were exhausted.Rosalie also felt her back hurt a little, but when she thought about how the children’s conditions had improved and that those with severe symptoms had been sent to the hospital, she felt so much more relieved.She had almost forgotten her purpose for coming here at the end of the day as she only had thoughts about the children in her mind.The children were already waiting in the courtyard when all the doctors came out of the rooms. Seeing them come out, the children, who were led by the dean, bowed neatly to them. "Thank you, Misters and Misses!"All the doctors were unanimously stunned.It was the first time all of them came to this type of place and set up a free clinic for the children. It was also the first time they witnessed such a scene.Rosalie's eyes were slightly red. She clenched her palm hard and suppress
Xander had to stay behind to preside over the follow-up work and bade the two people goodbye.Rosalie and Leon left the orphanage side by side.Leon looked at her with a deep smile. "How do you feel about the free clinic today? Judging from Young Master Lancer’s attitude just now, you should have achieved your goal."Hearing this, Rosalie then finally came to the realization.She had been so focused on the children today that she had forgotten that she came here to win favor from the Lancers today. Even when she thought about it, she still felt that the children were more important.Looking at it now, however, she had not only helped the children, but she had also gained Xander’s favor.Xander’s attitude just now explained it all!Realizing this, Rosalie's eyes sparkled with excitement. She turned back to face Leon and thanked him deeply, "Speaking of which, thank you for being here today, Leon. You were a great help.”Leon raised his brow with amusement. "I don't remember he
The immense pain caused Violet to become delusional. Besides the heart-piercing howls, she suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.She bit her lip until her mouth were filled with blood. Her face was grim and distorted and her eyes bulged out of the sockets.She stared at Rosalie viciously and sneered in a sinister way. "Rosalie Jacobs, so what if I poisoned your mother to death? Who made her a b*tch, unwilling to divorce obediently, and kept taking money from Gordon. She isn’t that great! Hahaha...""......" Rosalie's blood boiled. The seventh silver needle appeared in her hand.At this time, Byron quickly walked to her side and grabbed her.‘If my wife is overtaken by her emotions and takes a step forward, she would be a murderer for sure.’He hugged Rosalie, not letting her go any further.Sophie saw her mother in such pain. She stared at Rosalie with red eyes and kept yelling. "Rosalie, how dare you treat my mother like this? I will kill you! I will definitely kill you..."
When Violet heard Rosalie's concrete words, her face was horrified, and her eyes darted quickly."Rosalie, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever done something like this? Don't try to slander me!" She nervously argued.As everyone knows, she had fallen into Rosalie’s verbal trap."You haven't done it? Didn't you ask Ethan to help you poison Mama? It's mercury. Just a little bit could affect my mother slowly. Just two or three times a month is enough. The long-term accumulation of toxins was enough to shorten my mother's life to a few years. Ethan was so young then and you are willing to use him. Aren’t you afraid that he would accidentally ingest it?"Rosalie's angry face and hateful eyes made Violet look away in fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Violet, you still insist on arguing until now. I really couldn't do anything about you a few days ago. However, I can come to you now, which means that I have enough evidence to prove that you used your good son Eth
The chainsaw roared, and the iron chain was severed in less than thirty seconds, followed by two iron doors which collapsed to the ground.Byron and Rosalie walked in through the iron gate.The frightened Sophie rushed downstairs first. When she saw the couple, she panicked and shouted. "What are you trying to do? Breaking into a private house is illegal. I'll call the police immediately!"With that, she took out her mobile phone and feigned intimidation.Rage shot to the top of Rosalie’s head. She rushed over, snatched Sophie's phone, and smashed it to pieces on the ground.How refreshing to be the bad guy.For the past twenty years or so, Rosalie had been a pro at being a good person. She always suffered losses from being kind.The best way to deal with shameless people was to be even more shameless than them. In this way, there was nothing the opponent could do.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds, but she could not stop Rosalie at all."Where is Violet? Get the hell out n
Mama’s last will intermittently recorded the last three years of her life.When Rosalie finished reading her mother’s last word, the dam had broken, and she burst into loud sobs.The heart-piercing grief lingered in her chest. She kept murmuring under her breath. "Mama, my Mama...hurts so much in her life. She was in so much pain!"She tearfully looked at her husband. At this moment, Rosalie was like a frightened little animal, her entire body trembling helplessly.Byron read the will with her. The typically calm and introverted Byron felt his eyes burning and tears streamed down his face.Immediately, a monstrous anger appeared on his face. He exuded a deadly aura all over. He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Honey, we must avenge Mama. Violet is not human. She is just a beast clad in human skin!"Rosalie cried bitterly while hugging Byron, inconsolable for a long time.Finally, Detective Carter read the contents of the will and remained silent for a long time.The con
[My dear daughter, my beloved Rosalie, I wonder how many years later will you see this written will? Ten years, or twenty years? Or you may not see it at all."[Darling, Mama loves you very much, I love you too much. So, it is you who gave Mama the courage to accept my fate at this moment. I know very well that my life is slipping away bit by bit, but I don’t feel afraid at all!][However, Mama don’t know why such bad luck happened to you. You were only three years old and just learned to run and jump around, and you’ve just learnt to pronounce the word Mama properly. Despite that, death is around the corner, knocking on my door. Mama feels reluctant, this is such a waste! Mama prays to God, I’m willing to accept anything as long as you live, even if it means falling into hell.][You were suffering from a congenital genetic disorder. I took you to many hospitals and finally found a solution. However, the treatment cost is as high as one million dollars. Mama can't afford this at all
Byron, who has always been calm in dealing with things, felt anxious this time.The car continued to accelerate. There was no time to lose. He needed to verify personally whether the heirloom left by his mother-in-law were really hidden in the frame of the wedding photo.Rosalie also looked solemn, and her heart was beating fast.Violet cared so much about Mama’s heirloom. She was still looking for it even when she could not find it after more than ten years, which shows that this heirloom was of great importance.Perhaps, there was enough evidence in it to prove that Violet harmed her mother.Rosalie truly wanted to know; how did Violet manage to poison her slowly? At that time, she had no contact with Mama at all!In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the Jacobs old house.Early in the morning, Detective Carter still led his bodyguards to search around, knocking on every wall, trying to find some hidden storage space.Upon seeing the eager faces of the young couple, Detect
That voice seemed to unveil Rosalie's dust-sealed memory like an old chest.An image from that year flashed across her mind in an instant.Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Mama and Aunt Lou were eating cakes, chatting and laughing over tea. As the sun set, Rosalie came from the kindergarten on the corner of the street, lugging her schoolbag as she rushed home, less than a hundred meters away.Then, she exclaimed. "Mama, I'm home!"At that time, Mama was so healthy. Her eyes were always joyful, and she was as beautiful as an angel.Aunt Lou was also very young at the time, she had just married and had no children. She liked to ask her Mama for advice on family life issues.How wonderful it would be if life could stay that way forever!Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Gordon.Rosalie’s thoughts were raging. It took a long time before Rosalie came back to her senses and told Aunt Lou that she had returned to Coast City, and everything was fine.Aunt Lou continued to
On the second day of the wedding, Mary woke up and habitually thought that it was her home. She was about to go out in her pajamas.Fortunately, Andrius carried her back to bed just as she pushed the door open.Mary woke up from her confusion and realized her new identity, the daughter-in-law of the Quirke family.The husband held her, but suddenly refused to let go. His hands began to wander naughtily.Mary was astonished. They were keeping each other up until late last night. It was only a few hours apart."Is there any custom ceremony that has not been completed? Does your family need us to greet the elders on the first day after marriage?" She suddenly became flustered, and she was short of breath.She wanted to quickly change the subject, so her man would not continue his passionate torment.It would be really embarrassing if they made any noise this early in the morning.Andrius shook his head, and moved his lips closer, wanting to attack.Mary resolutely covered his lip
In the Jacobs’ old family home, Detective Carter kept receiving calls from the bodyguards, and knew the movements of Violet's family like the palm of his hand."Sure enough, it was a bait and switch. On the surface, two cars set off; one came to us and the other was headed to the airport. In actual fact, they escaped from the basement in a taxi. However, they were indeed unable to escape."Detective Carter summarized his updates and reported to Byron and Rosalie.The detective was shocked. The bodyguards that Byron arranged for him had excellent professional skills and strong execution ability. These men were obviously carefully cultivated.Byron nodded calmly.He sighed secretly in his heart. Sophie reacted exactly the same way as Xander Lancer back then, she chose to escape by water.Indeed, travel transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rails have rigid, fixed schedules and are relatively easy to be discovered.Rosalie's mind was not present at all. As long as the hus
