Rosalie nodded. “He hasn’t, but I’m sure he didn’t do it on purpose. He seldom tells me about his family, and I only found out he had a sister when I met her in person.”

She was afraid Christopher might be upset, so she tried to offer an explanation.

Christopher took a sip of his tea. “Don’t be so anxious to explain things to me. It’s fine. I don’t really mind that Seb didn’t mention me to his wife. Since you two are together now, it’s a matter of time before we meet. Aren’t we both seated here at the moment? It’s not too late for us to get to know each other.”

Rosalie smiled politely. “Yes. I never knew he hau an uncle like you before this.“.

“An uncle like me?” Christopher asked curiously. “What sort of uncle do you think I am?”

“I know that you’re of high status, but keep a low profile.”

“I’m not someone important, just a government worker. At the end of the day, no matter how high–ranking I am, I am but a civil servant. It’s just a matter of address,” Christopher said indifferently.

Rosalie kept her polite smile on her face!

Christopher was merely being humble. He was no ordinary civil servant. If he asked for it, even the mayor had to do his bidding.

“I’m just an uncle to Seb. I treat Seb and Vonnie as my children, since I don’t have any of my own.”

Rosalie was surprised to hear that. “You’re not married?”

“I’ve been so focused on my career, I’ve neglected key milestones in my personal life. I’ve slowly gotten used to being alone. It’s also safer for me to be alone in the mercenary environment I’m in. With a family in the picture, it’s easy for me to get threatened or enticed by certain terms. Things can get very complicated. It’s good being alone,” he replied.

Rosalie understood what Christopher meant. Hearing him saying that he treated Seb and Vonnie as his children made her conclude that he really wanted children, but ended up having none.

Come to think of it he went on, “aince treat them as my children, I naturally want to know about their other halves. That’s why I wanted to talk to you and Get to know you Can you understand where I’m coming from? Perhaps you might think I’m just his uncle and not his father, so I have no right to know

more about you if that’s the case, I’m fine with it.”

Of course not! Rosalie explained hurriedly. “I don’t mean that. What you said makes perfect sense. I trust that you’ve done much for Seb over the years. It also looks as though Vonnie respects you a lot as her uncle.”

“You have such a sweet tongue. No wonder Seb likes you so much. You look. so hail and weak, but you have a mind of your

Many times, Rosalie simply chose to follow her heart and wasn’t thinking of achieving any particular goal

“Were you immediately adopted by the Spencers after your parents‘ accident?” Christopher asked. He did know a thing or two about Rosalie, and had checked her background, but he needed a conversation starter.

“I lived with my aunt for a year before the Spencers adopted me,” Rosalie said.

“Why didn’t your aunt continue taking care of you? Given the accident, you should have received quite a handsome sum of compensation. Your aunt would have had oversight over the money,” Christopher went on.

“She did get it, but…” Rosalie said helplessly, “she spent it all, and ended up. unable to take care of me financially. She left me at the entrance of a company building. Thankfully, Mr. Spencer saw me and took me to the Spencer residence. I lived there until I got married to Theodore.”

“Were they making you a child bride for their family?” Christopher asked, brows. furrowed.

Rosalie wasn’t sure if she heard it right, but she thought she heard his voice. turning cold.

She immediately explained, “No! Grandma didn’t take me as a child bride, but. treated me like her own granddaughter. She treated me very well, and I married Theodore willingly. No one forced me into it.”

“So you married him for love, and not because you were kindness?” Christopher pursued further.

“Yes, I married him because I loved him. The Spencer family is powerful and rich, with hoards of women fighting to marry into it. Why would they force me?”

She could be frank with others and say that she loved Theodore, but couldn’t to tell it to his face.

What’s more, she didn’t want others misunderstanding the Spencers, who had done so much for her.

Her serious expression made Christopher nod. “That’s good. Did the Spencers really treat you well?”

His tone had softened.

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, they did. They treated me like family, and didn’t let me suffer one bit.”

She had always been grateful for them.

Christopher stared at her in a daze. “You’re such a sweet girl. How could they bear to make you suffer? Your aunt was really too much to have made you suffer at that point.”

His solemn face when he talked about her aunt made Rosalie wonder why he

was so upset over her words. It almost seemed as though he was infuriated that someone had hurt her. Conversely, he heaved a sigh of relief when others treated her well..

Was she thinking too much? She felt like Christopher cared a lot for her, and it didn’t seem like simple concern for his nephew’s wife–or even his son’s wife. Rosalie didn’t want to talk about her unhappy childhood memories. It was true she had suffered during the time she was with her aunt, but that was all in the past. So many years had gone by. She didn’t even really hate her aunt; the past no longer hurt her.

“That’s all in the past. I’m doing very well now.”

Christopher kept staring at Rosalie until he looked a little lost. Feeling rather uneasy, she chuckled awkwardly.

“Pardon me, but you really resemble an old friend of mine. Looking at you reminds me of her when she was younger,” he explained.

“Is that so? Are you still in contact with that old friend of yours?”

He shook his head. “We haven’t been in contact for ages. I have no idea where she is right now. Probably overseas in some other country.”

Rosalie nodded with a smile, and said nothing further.

Very soon, the waiter served Christopher’s dinner before taking his leave. Rosalie could sense he was in a bit of a daze when he mentioned his old friend.

Christopher took a sip of his soup, then said, “I heard a little about what happened to you from Vonnie. It seems your ex–husband didn’t treat you very well.”

He didn’t mistreat me, it’s just…” Rosalie paused for a moment, suddenly at a loss for words,

“Just what?” Christopher pressed further. “If he treated you well, why did you two divorce? I heard the mistress he had an affair with and Seb are currently in the same hospital.”

Rosalie put her hands on her knees, her fingers intertwining with each other uneasily.

“I can chase that homewrecker away,” Christopher said, wanting to do something for her.

Rosalie didn’t expect Christopher to go to such an extent for her. It seemed he really doted on Sebastian, and in turn her.

She squeezed out a smile. “Thank you, but there’s no need for that. I don’t care

for that.”

“Really? Theodore Spencer betrayed you for another woman, and divorced you. Knowing that his mistress and your husband are in the same hospital right now, don’t you feel upset? You have the Carters backing you up now. I can help you. You don’t need to take this lying down. You can pay back those who have hurt you tenfold.”

Even Christopher was getting upset.

Rosalie shook her head.

“No, I’m not upset. It’s not because I’m tolerating it, but because I really don’t care anymore. I might have felt angry or indignant before the divorce, but now, I don’t feel so strongly about these things. After all, I’ve started my new life afresh. I don’t want to waste my time and emotions on people or things of the past. Also, I think dealing with a woman like Cynthia isn’t worth your time or effort.”

Every word she said came from the depths of her heart.

Christopher nodded. “Since you insist upon it, I won’t force you. If you need any help, just tell me.”

Rosalle nodded. “Thank you for your condemn. I’ll tell you if I need any help. You’ve already helped me so much.”

When she was surrounded by the patients‘ kin at the hospital before, Christopher was the one who came in the nick of time to rescue her.

“We’re family now. Please don’t stand on ceremony with me when you encounter any issues in the future. I know Seb’s father isn’t easy to deal with. You can look for me if he makes things difficult for you.”

“Alright, I got it.” Rosalie was polite, but he was clearly trying to keep her

distance

Christopher knew that despite her verbal assurance

wouldn’t be the first

person she asked for help if she needed it. He admitted he might have been impatient in suddenly being so enthusiastic around her, which would surely raise her suspicions.

Worried that she might feel uneasy, he changed the subject.

“This soup tastes pretty good, and it’s very nutritious. Do you want some? I know you’ve had dinner, but I’m sure a bit of soup is fine. You don’t look too good, and you look like you need some nourishment. I’m sure it’s been tough taking care of Seb recently.”

Rosalie lifted a hand, and caressed her cheek. Just now, Theodore kept saying that she didn’t look too good. Was it so obvious?

Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy.

She had to provide nutrients for the baby. If she wasn’t sufficiently nourished, it might compromise on the baby’s nutrition as well. Even if she didn’t feel like it, she had to eat.

“Alright, then.”

She would drink the soup for the sake of the baby, even if she didn’t want to.

Christopher immediately asked the waiter to serve her a bowl of soup. The soup was fresh and tasty, and she finished every drop of it.

“Do you want another bowl?” he asked.

She shook her head. “No thanks, I’ve had my fill. Perhaps next time.”

Christopher didn’t force her. After dinner, the two of them left the private room.

Til head back to the hospital,” Rosalie said.

Let me send you back.”

“No need. It’s just a few minutes away. I can walk back by myself.”

Facing her insistence, Christopher nodded. “Alright, then. Take care on your way back.”

Rosalie nodded as well; she was about to walk off, when a wave of nausea suddenly struck her.

She hurried over to a waiter. “Where’s the washroom?”

The waiter pointed in a direction. “Over there.”

Rosalie hurried to the washroom. Rushing in, she immediately vomited, puking out all the soup she drank.

She didn’t suffer from severe morning sickness, but would sometimes feel nauseous. Thankfully, she didn’t feel nauseous when she was with Grandma earlier today.

After rinsing her mouth, she left the washroom, only to see Christopher still waiting for her at the entrance.

“You’re still around!” Rosalie exclaimed as she approached him.

Christopher surveyed her from head to toe. “What’s the matter? Do you feel unwell?”

She shook her head. “No, I just suddenly needed the washroom.”

Christopher stuck his hands in his pocket, and looked at her doubtfully. “I heard you vomiting.”

“It might be something I ate.” Rosalie smiled awkwardly. “Please pardon me, I have poor gastric.

“Has it always been like this?” he asked; it was clear he didn’t believe her.

He looked at her stomach. If he looked closer, he would be able to notice her bump. Feeling slightly guilty, Rosalie quickly covered her stomach with her hand.

Christopher furrowed his brows. Rosalie feeling unwell and the sound of her vomiting gave him a thought.

“Are you pregnant?” he asked.

Rosalie’s heart leaped, and she replied frantically, “I’m…I’m not.”

However, her anxious expression confirmed his guess. “If it’s true, you can’t keep it under wraps forever.”

Rosalie’s eyes turned red. “…”

Christopher took a step forward. “You don’t need to feel pressured. I’ve said it before, you can just ask me for help if you need it. If you don’t want me telling anyone about it, I won’t.”

He looked around at the people around them, and whispered, “Let’s go

somewhere quieter.

Rosalie nodded, and the two of them left the restaurant. Christopher led her to

the car.

The moment they got in, she pleaded, “Don’t tell anyone about this, please.”

“Seems like it’s your ex–husband’s baby,” Christopher said. That wasn’t hard to guess. If it were Sébastian’s baby, Rosalie wouldn’t have kept it a secret.

Rosalle nodded. “Yes.”

“How many months along are you?”

“Slightly over three months.”

“In that case, you had his baby before you divorced your ex–husband, and he’s completely clueless about it.”

How much could that man not care about his wife?

“I didn’t tell him about it. I wanted to at first, but he suddenly asked for a divorce, so I didn’t say anything.”

Christopher frowned. “Why didn’t you tell him? If you did, he might not have divorced you.”

Rosalie smiled bitterly. “I don’t want to trap him with a baby. A marriage sustained solely for the sake of children will only be bad for the children. I thought he didn’t love me at that time, so I didn’t mention it.”

“You thought he didn’t love you?” Christopher deciphered the hidden meaning in her words. “Do you mean that he loves you now?”

Her silence was an affirmative reply to him. “So why aren’t you telling him about it now?”

“Seb and I are married now. How could I say something like this? You know his situation. He lost all his memories. If he found out that I’m pregnant with my ex- husband’s baby, he wouldn’t be able to accept it. I can’t lie to him and tell him it’s his, either. With things as bad as they are right now, I don’t want to add fuel to the fire.”

Christopher sighed.

“It’s tough on you. You must have been under a lot of pressure, what with everything that happened. These men have really caused you a lot of trouble.”

His eyes turned cold as he spoke.

“Don’t tell anyone about this, okay?” Rosalie pleaded.

Chapter 535

Tor how long are you going to hide it?” Christopher said. “Your stomach is already showing, and you eventually won’t be able to keep it under wraps.”

Tl take it a day at a time. I’m waiting for Sebastian to make a full recovery before telling him about it. He knew about everything, but it’s a pity that he lost. his memories. I wonder if he’ll be able to regain them,” Rosalie said.

“Were you planning to keep the baby right from the start?”

She nodded. “It’s my baby too, and I’ll deliver it no matter what. I know you might not feel comfortable knowing that I married your beloved nephew while pregnant with my ex–husband’s baby, but Seb knew about it before we got married. Though, he’s now.

“Rose,” Christopher cut her off mid–sentence. “Don’t worry, I’m not blaming you for anything. I’m just worried you won’t be able to take all the pressure by yourself without anyone helping you. Your ex–husband has already caused you so much trouble, and now, Seb has become a burden you have to bear.”

Rosalie was in disbelief over Christopher’s words. He didn’t blame her the slightest bit, and was even considerate of her plight. He seemed almost impossibly nice, but his words were quite harsh.

“Seb isn’t a burden. He took care of me in the past, and now, it’s my turn to take care of him. I just want to take care of him until he fully recovers,” she said.

Christopher heaved a sigh of relief. “Actually, I know your marriage with Seb

isn’t real.”

She turned around, and looked at him in shock. “Who told you that?”

“Vonnie told me about it, but she didn’t leak it carelessly. Things were in a mess, and Seb had that accident. I wouldn’t tell anyone about this, so don’t blame her.”

Rosalie looked down, despondent. “Although the marriage between Seb and me isn’t real, our friendship is. My desire to take care of and stay by his side is genuine.”

“I know it is,” Christopher said. “You’re more genuine than anyone I know. I can tell you really care for Seb, so much so that you’re willing to marry him.”

I didn’t have a choice at that point, she said. “His father was forcing him to Married Seb was miserable, and I actually met that lady before. She takes

“if it weren’t because you had no other choice, you wouldn’t have resorted to this. Your marriage with him did solve the problem. If not, something bad might really have happened to Seb.

remembers. You’re the most important person in his life, and he trusts you more than anything.”

Christopher’s words made Rosalie feel terrible. It she had a say in the matter, she wished she wasn’t the only one Sebastian remembered.

“Don’t worry about this. I won’t tell anyone about it. But if Seb is unable to regain his memory his entire life, are you going to stay by his side forever as husband and wife?”

“…” She was at a loss for words.

“Just feel free to tell me what’s on your mind. I promise, no one else will know about our chat today. I’m a man of my word,” he assured.

Rosalie looked at Christopher, who seemed like a mature and trustworthy man.

It did feel bad keeping everything to herself.

“I’ll try my best to help Seb regain his memory. If he really can’t, at the very least his body will be fully recovered. As my stomach grows, I have to eventually tell him the truth. I can’t lie to him that the baby is his, that’s too unfair to him. But I’m worried that if we got d ced, his father would try to control his marriage again,” Rosalie said,

“It’s not that I don’t want him to get remarried, I just don’t want his father to dictate his marriage. I don’t want to see Seb miserable. He thinks the same, too. If he can be with a woman he wants to marry, I’d naturally give him my blessings.

“Seb grew up in a strict household. I know his father, and how that man prioritizes financial interests. Nothing else matters. He wouldn’t even show mercy to his own son. Seb was often beaten up by him when he was young, and his father would destroy anything he liked,” Christopher explained.

Rosalie’s heart leaped at Christopher’s description of Sebastian’s father. “Seb. must have faced so much pressure to grow up in an environment like that.”

Christopher nodded. “Yes. I think he might have lost his memories so he could forget all those bitter memories of the past, leaving only good ones in his mind.”

Rosalie fell silent. After a while, she looked at him. “Oh, yes. Didn’t you say you could help? I do have something I need your help with.”

“Sure,” he said, agreeing without even asking what it was about. “Just tell me, and I’ll do it for you no matter what.”

“It’s like this,” she said. “You already know the reason why Seb and I got. married. You should understand that although our marriage can help him for the time being, it also restricts him in other aspects. We can’t possibly maintain our status as husband and wife only in name forever. That’s too unfair for him. But I’m also worried that if we divorced, he’d be forced to marry someone else.”

She paused for a moment, trying to think of a way to persuade him on what she was about to say next.

Christopher, however, instantly knew what she was trying to drive at. “You want me to talk to his father, right?”

She nodded. “Yes. Is that possible? I think he’ll listen to you.”

Christopher was no ordinary man, and Geoffrey would certainly respect him.

“Of course,” Christopher said without hesitation. “I“” talk to his father about this. Had I known about this right from the start, I..ould have stepped forward to stop it from happening.”

She heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you, I trust you can persuade him. Seb’s accident might change his mind.”

He smiled helplessly. “His father has been through many things, and has probably gotten used to it. Don’t worry, I’ll talk things through with him. Promise me one thing, won’t you?”

Out of curiosity, she asked, “What is it?”

“After Seb recovers, even if he still hasn’t regained his memories, tell him the truth and divorce him as early as possible.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t cling onto Seb, and I’m not in a hurry to find a father for the baby,” she said.

He furrowed his brows. “Do you think that’s what I think of you? I’m not that superficial.”

Whether Christopher was looking down on her or if it really was as he explained, it didn’t matter to Rosalie. She trusted his explanation. He didn’t look like he was lying.

“it’s alright. It’s understandable that you’d think that way. I didn’t make things. clear enough, and caused you to misunderstand,” he said.

Rosalie didn’t expect Sebastian to have such a kind and understanding uncle. Perhaps because of his status, he had seen a lot and wouldn’t freak out over every little thing. His foresight and perspective naturally differed from ordinary people.

Christopher was wise to the ways of the world. Whatever that was happening between her and Sebastian was probably nothing to him.

“No matter what, thank you,” she said.

“No need to thank you. I’m not doing a lot for you two, anyway,” he replied.

“Not telling others about it is good enough.”

As their senior, Christopher could very well point fingers at and blame them. “What can I even say?” Christopher said with a chuckle. “You and Seb are full- grown adults. Whatever decision you two make is your choice. You two may not find it a problem and others have no right to say anything, but in the same. vein, you two will have to bear the consequences of your decision.”

Rosalie nodded. “You’re right. No matter what the outcome is, we’ll bear the consequences.*

She glanced at her watch. “171 make a move first.”

“Let me drive you back, Christopher offered. “Don’t get out of the car.”

“No need.”

“It’s alright, I’ll drive you back. I brought you here, and I’ll only feel at ease if t fetch you back safely. You’re not the only one at risk here,” he said as he glanced at her belly.

Christopher drove her back to the hospital, and watc sight before finally driving off.

Before Rosalie went to Sebastian’s ward, she went to Yerick’s ward first. However, she didn’t go in and simply snuck a peek from outside.

The nurse was taking care of Yerick, who was looking at his phone and chuckling to himself, as if he was watching something hilarious. She didn’t go in and interrupt him, and simply went straight to Sebastian’s ward.

“Rose, your back.” Sebastian’s eyes lit up, and his countenance brightened instantly upon seeing Rosalie.

“Sorry for coming back so late, Seb.” Rosalie sat on the chair by the bedside.

How

“I’m good, don’t worry.”

Sebastian’s attitude this time was starkly different from how he was

previously. He wasn’t as sad over her leaving.

“That’s good. I was worried I might see you crying like a child when I came back,” Rosalie half–joked, not upset by it at all.

Sebastian lowered his head. “It was my fault last time. I behaved like an immature brat. I won’t do it ever again. You have your own things to deal with. You can’t spend all your time with me. I can’t be so selfish.”

hapter 538

Rosalie patted the back of his hand. “It’s fine, it’s not your fault. You just woke up from a coma, and you don’t remember anything. It’s normal to be afraid. I understand how you feel completely.”

Sebastian nodded. “Yes, I was very afraid first. I de rately wanted you to be by my side all the time. But now, I feel better. Although I still want you by my side, I want you to be happy even more.”

“As long as you slowly recover, I’ll be happy.” A thought suddenly came to Rosalie’s mind. “Oh yes. Your uncle dropped by today. Do you feel like you remembered anything when you talked to him?”

Sebastian thought for a moment. “Bits and pieces of my past, but they’re all fragments that I can’t piece together. I’m sorry.”

“Why apologize to me? It’s not your fault, and it’s fine. Even if they’re in fragments, it’s good enough. There’s no need to panic or overdo things. Let nature take its course, and things might turn out better.”

Sebastian nodded. “Honey, you’re the best. Can I hug you?”

He looked exactly like a child asking for candy.

“Uh…”

At Rosalie’s lack of response, Sebastian asked in confusion, “What’s the matter? Did I do something wrong?”

She shook her head. “No.”

“Then why won’t you give me a hug?” he asked cautiously, for fear of sounding harsh.

Rosalie wasn’t able to answer his question, and the disappointment in

Sebastian’s eyes was obvious. Eventually, she leaned down and hugged him.

The disappointment vanished from Sebastian’s face, and he smiled. He

wrapped his arms around her with a satisfied expression.

“Honey, don’t worry! I won’t ever let you get sad. I’m sure I’ll slowly remember the things I’ve forgotten. Even if I can’t remember there

“Seb, I trust you.”

Rosalie released him, stood up, and pulled up the covers for him.

The hug was short, lasting only a few seconds. Sebastian felt as though there was something missing in the hug.

He held her hand, his thumb gently caressing the back of her thumb. “Rose, go home.”

“What did you say?” Rosalie thought she heard him wigly.

He looked straight at her, the disappointment in his eyes clear. “Rose, I know it’s tough for you to take care of me. You’ve been under a lot of pressure during this period because of me, and you haven’t had time to rest. Go back and take. some time to rest. Don’t bother about me for now.”

She sat back on the bedside. “What’s the matter? Did someone say something to you?”

Did Christopher say something to Sebastian?

Sebastian shook his head. “No, it’s just that I can’t bear to see you like this. I can take the time while I’m alone to think through things quietly, too. You shouldn’t waste all your time on me.”

“How is it a waste of my time? I have the responsibility to be with you!”

“But I also have the responsibility to make sure my wife has ample rest.” He looked at her seriously. “Although I really want you by my side, I can’t bear to let you keep staying with me. You should go home for a good rest. There will be someone here taking care of me. You don’t need to worry.”

Rosalie shook her head helplessly. “Seb, I don’t even find it tough. Why do you think that way?”

“But you don’t look very good,” he explained. “It’s probably because you lack rest from taking care of me.”

Then I’ll go rest right now. Let me take a bath.”

She pried his fingers away gently, and headed to the washroom

Chapter 539

“Rose, I’m serious,” Sebastian said to her retreating figure.

Rosalie turned around. “If I went back and rested, I wouldn’t come back. Is that

still fine?”

“Why?” Sebastian asked in a panicked voice. “What did I do wrong this time?”

“If you don’t want to do something wrong, then listen to me and be good. If I really left, are you sure your imagination won’t run wild?”

That was what Rosalie was worried about- at Sebastian might put up a front. He couldn’t bear letting her stay here and take care of him, but he would get scared if she actually left.

Given his current condition, it wasn’t appropriate for him to be worried. Staying by his side would soothe his frazzled nerves, and help with his recovery. She

didn’t mind that.

The faster he recovered, the better it was for the both of them.

Sebastian lowered his head guiltily. True, he had been letting his imagination run wild. His brain had been in overdrive throughout the time Rosalie was away, and he didn’t keep his emotions in check.

“Seb, don’t worry. I sleep here just great, and I’m glad to see you well and fine. If I went home, I’ll be worried about you. I definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep. well the entire night. I feel more at ease by your side.”

Sebastian wanted to say more, but Rosalie had already entered the washroom.

He stared at the door of the washroom in a daze, a small smile on his lips. Although he wanted Rosalie to go back and rest, in the depths of his heart, he actually wanted her by his side. It might be a little selfish of him, but he needed her.

Yerick was initially smiling as he looked at his phone while seated on the bed, but after a while, he saw something that made his face tense.

The nurse sat on a chair, keeping him company while knitting, since there was nothing much she needed to do.

The nurse was a young lady slightly past the age of 20, similar to Rosalie.

+15 BONUS

Seeing Yerick’s face turn solemn and his brows furrowing, she put down her knitting.

“What’s the matter?”

She had clearly seen Yerick smiling just a second ago.

Yerick ignored her, and continued staring at the screen.

Rosalie was doing all she could to take care of Sebastian, insisting on staying despite Sebastian letting her leave. She treated him so well. What in the world. did he do to deserve that? He was just another basta

Yerick was beginning to regret allowing Sebastian to wake up from his coma. On second thought, he had done it for Rosalie. There was nothing to regret if it made her happy.

However, there came a slew of problems after Sebastian woke up. He and Rosalie were now inseparable.

“Sebastian’s so annoying. He’s taking advantage of Rosalie, and even asked her for a hug. He’s so old, but he’s still behaving like a child and demanded. hugs. Shameless man,’ thought Yerick.

He was growing increasingly frustrated.

If only Sebastian died! But if he did, Rosalie would be sad.

Seeing Yerick gripping his phone so tight, the nurse got worried. She stepped forward, and poked her head toward him. “What are you looking at?”

“Scram! Who asked you to come over?” he growled.

The nurse jumped back in fright. Upon seeing Yerick’s fierce expression, she took a few steps back and collapsed on the floor with a thud.

She never expected such a polite boy to be capable of looking so vicious. He looked like a completely different person, his usual courteous and genteel manner gone without a trace.

Yerick’s gaze landed sharply on her. His eyes flashed viciously, but very quickly, he composed himself.

“Are you alright?”

Chapter 540

He sounded a little panicked as he threw away the covers and tried to get down from the bed.

The nurse immediately stood up, and walked to him. “I’m fine. Please don’t get out of bed.”

She pulled the sheets up for Yerick, and reminded him, “Don’t move. Lie down.”

“I’m sorry. Did I scare you just now?” Yerick looked

ocently at her.

The nurse’s heart softened immediately, and the fear that rose up in her chest was instantly dispelled. “I’m fine, but how are you feeling?”

“There’s just been so much going on recently. I’m so frustrated over how I can’t get out of bed after the operation. I didn’t mean to lose my temper just now. Please don’t be angry at me,” he pleaded.

Yerick looked so pitiful, his expression as tears welling up in his eyes capable. of breaking many hearts.

The nurse’s heart softened even more. “I was a little scared just now, but I’m not angry. If there’s anything you’re upset about, feel free to tell me about it.”

“No, I’m sure you’re not interested in my problems,” Yerick said in disappointment as he looked down.

The nurse pulled a chair next to the bed. “Tell me. My job is to take care of you, not just physically but mentally as well. If you don’t mind, I’d love to help you.”

Yerick stared at her in silence for a long time.

“What if you tell others after I tell you about it?” he said, unconvinced.

“I won’t tell anyone, don’t worry,” she said with absolute sincerity.

“Really? You’re not lying to me?”

She nodded. “I’m not lying to you, really.”

“Alright, I’ll tell you then.” Yerick leaned against the headboard. “I have a friend who’s awesome, and treats me well. It’s a pity she keeps getting mistreated by

men.”

“Did you try persuading her from it?” she asked.

“She’s way too opinionated. As her friend, I can only step aside and anxiously. watch things unfold. There are now two men who have bad intentions with her, but she still treats both of them very well

The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

“Sounds like your friend trusts men way too easily.”

Yenick shook his head. “Not entirely. These two men are too good at pretending, and my friend is too kind. They’re bullies to my friend! I’m so mad!”

“Do you want to help your friend?”

“I do.” Yerick nodded firmly. “I really want to teach them a lesson, but if my friend found out, she’d be very upset. To her, I’m a good friend who’ll never do anything bad. I don’t want my friend to be worried about me, or get angry at me.”

“You’re such a wonderful friend,” the nurse said, giving him a thumbs up.

“Yeah, I’m so good.” Yerick looked down, and continued morosely, “I’m so angry! I can only stand by and watch while my friend gets lied to by bad men.”

The nurse thought about it before asking, “Have you considered teaching those men a lesson in secret?”

“I did, but it’d only make my friend sad.” Yerick was very considerate of Rosalie. He didn’t want her upset.

“Well, what if those two men opposed each other?” the nurse went on. “Your friend would then see how unreliable both of them are, and leave

automatically.”

A light bulb lit up in Yerick’s mind.

“Right! Why didn’t I think of that?”

“I helped you come up with an idea,” the nurse said. “Sounds like your friend’s very popular. Since they’re both bad men, they’ll teach each other a lesson one. day.”
