“Yeah. And after she wakes up and hears the bad news of Eminent Honor being on the verge of bankruptcy, perhaps she’d drag her thin and frail body everywhere to help you bring in some business?”Zayne appeared to be on pins and needles.“If you want what’s good for her, then you should be more committed as Severe Enterprise’s current overseer so that there’s less for her to worry about.”Zayne stood up abruptly and gave Jay a thumbs-up. “You’re amazing, Master Ares. I’m leaving now! Take care of my little sister.”Jay waved at him. “Take it slow. I won’t be sending you off.”After the noise of Zayne leaving faded away, the ward became quieter.Jay listened to Rose’s breathing sound attentively.There had never been a moment like this before. Hearing her breathing getting deeper made him feel particularly at ease.At noon, the doctor came over with Rose’s blood test and told Jay, “The patient’s condition is very stable now, so she can be discharged as her condition permits it. A
Jay hugged Rose in his arms after she was discharged, and women of all ages focused their attention on him along the way. Jay’s complexion appeared ashen, but she was secretly breaking into laughter.“Don’t laugh.” Jay glared at her.Rose glanced at the woman sitting on the opposite chair who was drooling as she smiled and stared at Jay like a love-struck fool.Rose teased him, saying, “She seems to like you, Sir Ares.”He retorted coldly, “Are you sure that’s not a patient with dementia?”Rose proceeded to laugh out loud. This guy’s poisonous tongue indeed should not be provoked.At the entrance of the hospital.A group of people had surrounded Jay’s Rolls-Royce. The traffic officer was yelling out anxiously, “So what if you’re loaded? Does that mean you don’t have to obey the traffic rules? You can block the whole road just because you have money?”When Jay walked over, the traffic officer was abruptly silenced when he saw Jay.He could not recognize the Rolls-Royce, but he
“I have something to discuss with James, so you can go and help us prepare breakfast.”Rose glanced at the guest secretly and said with a grimace, “Three portions?”Jay smiled back. “No, just two.”He would not allow her two hands to do anything for any other people.Hearing him, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Good.”Then, Jay brought James to the study room.At first, the atmosphere was fairly relaxed.“Jay, do you really like Rose Loyle?”Jay nodded.“Uncle James, with my current status, there’s no need to force myself to do anything. There’s only one reason needed for me to marry her, and that’s because I love her. So, I ask that Uncle James be a little bit warmer and mindful toward Rose in the future.”James’ face sank as he continued quietly, “You know it yourself that you have great qualities. You could’ve gotten any debutante out there, yet you had to marry the illegitimate daughter of the Loyle family. You’re utterly blind!”“Uncle James, I don’t think you’re here t
“I think your kitchen utensils don’t welcome me here, Sir Ares. It seems like I shouldn’t be here often in the future!” After some time, Rose finally raised her little head.Jay was filled with laughter. Rose had the expression of ‘I’m not going to cook ever again’ written all over her face!“Let me do it.” Jay walked over and took the flour from her hand. Then, he started to get busy.Rose, who was bored, started chattering endlessly. “You can cook, Sir Ares?“It doesn’t make sense. My friends told me that a man who can cook is a man who can’t make money.“But it seems like you’re only able to cook basic European cuisine. To be frank with you, European cuisine doesn’t always match everyone’s palate. Furthermore, constantly eating them will make you bloat like a balloon…”It was because she disliked European cuisine!Jay was quickly frying up some bacon and eggs while she babbled away.Rose saw the golden brown bacon and licked her lips.“Can I eat it?” Rose asked somewhat pit
“You were dragged out of the emergency room yesterday. Don’t you consider yourself a patient?”Rose’s mouth widened in shock.“I went to the emergency room last night? Why don’t I remember this?”“You were blackout drunk.” Jay closed his book, his face becoming cold and stern. “Women who come from good families won’t get blackout drunk outside. You’ve gotten a bad influence from Josephine.”Rose opened her mouth in bewilderment and stuttered, “I was the bad influence!”“You still have the nerve to utter those words out loud?”Rose bowed her head.When Josephine was mentioned, Rose became incessantly concerned. “By the way… Is Josie okay?”Jay replied, “In which aspect?”Rose, “...”“She didn’t go to the emergency room, right?”“She’s fine.”Rose was not at ease. Hence, she stood up from the swing. “I’d better go ask her.”She entered the house and dialed Josephine’s phone.After waiting for a long time, Josephine finally answered.“I’m sorry, Rose. Your trust limit in
When Rose got dressed and came out, Jay had already brought out the car.“I’m heading to the company, so I’ll take you on the way there.”He was occupied with starting the engine while talking, so he naturally did not notice the puzzled look on Rose’s face.When she opened the door to the back seat, she heard Jay mutter, “Sit in the front and talk to me.”Rose could not help but wonder. A person who barely spoke had taken the initiative to find someone to chat with him. Perhaps there was something wrong with his brain.However, she obeyed him and sat in the front seat with him.“Can you drive?” Jay raised his gaze and looked at her.Rose hesitated for quite some time before shaking her head. “No.”Angeline could drive, but Rose could not!“I’ll teach you,” Jay stated.Rose’s gaze fell on his car key, and she realized that it was a new car. Although the Maserati’s body was slightly smaller, the interior was still luxurious and the appearance was streamlined.It was a car that
Josephine took off the instrument in an exasperated manner. When she saw Rose, she pulled it over her eyes once more. She asked angrily, “Why are you here?”Rose sat beside her and sighed quietly.“What’s gotten into you, Josie? You must at least give me a reason for why you’re angry at me.”Josephine grabbed the mask open again and said to the beautician, “You may leave for now.”The staff got up and left.Rose noticed how swollen Josephine’s eyes were that she could no longer keep them open. She immediately felt a stab in her heart.How long would it take for someone to cry to become like this?“Didn’t you say that nothing’s going on between you and Zayne, Rose Loyle?”“Of course!” Rose nodded.Josephine was so angry that she lifted the pillow and threw it over. “You’re a liar. When you entered the emergency room yesterday, Zayne rushed over to see you. He was so worried about you that I could tell he cares about you even if I’m an idiot!”Rose was dumbfounded.Why did Zay
Rose did not speak for a long time…Starting from her life experience, the mysterious car accident, secrets in the attic… She had no idea where to begin…“Josephine, I’m not Rose Loyle!” Consequently, she struggled to share the secrets that she had kept for so many years.Josephine looked at her in surprise. “What do you mean?”“You’re not Rose Loyle? Then who are you?”Rose hesitated for a moment. Then, she continued with great difficulty, “I’m Angeline Severe.”Josephine’s pupils dilated in shock. “What did you just say?” She was somewhat in disbelief.She scanned Rose from top to bottom several times before asking curiously, “But you’re obviously Rose Loyle?”Rose shook her head. “I’m in Rose Loyle’s body, but it’s Angeline Severe’s soul.”“Huh? Josephine exclaimed aloud.“Did you have plastic surgery?” Josephine could not think of any other reasons besides this.Rose shook her head again and said faintly, “Seven years ago, I woke up from a car accident and became Rose Lo
