Rosalie patted the back of his hand gently. “Trust me, okay? Just relax. I’m right here with you. No matter what happens, I’ll be with you. You won’t be alone, so don’t worry. Can you do that for me?”

Her soothing voice was like a warm current flowing into Sebastian’s heart. Instantly, he felt reassured and nodded obediently. “Alright, I trust you. I’ll wait.”

Rosalie smiled slightly. “Eat up before the food gets cold, Seb.”

He nodded, and soon, the two finished their dinner.

After clearing the table, Rosalie stayed by Sebastian’s side. They watched two movies back–to–back, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was harmonious until Sebastian yawned, showing signs of

tiredness.

“Feeling sleepy, Seb?”

Sebastian nodded. “Yes, but I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”

“Let me help you to the bathroom.”

Rosalie walked to Sebastian’s bedside, helped him out of bed, and carefully guided him into the bathroom, where she squeezed toothpaste onto his brush.

“Seb, I’ve called a male caregiver to help you with your bath. I’ll step out for a bit.”

Although Rosalie could help Sebastian with many things, such as getting out of bed and brushing his teeth, she couldn’t assist with his bath.

Therefore, she hired a professional male caregiver to be there while Sebastian bathed to prevent any accidents.

She didn’t really explain, and just arranged for help. She had planned to tell Sebastian she was a bit tired these couple of days, so she had arranged for someone else to help him, but he didn’t question her.

He quietly accepted the caregiver’s help but didn’t say a word, just silently accepting the assistance. He was worried she was tired too, so he didn’t want her to do too many things.

Rosalie felt a warm glow inside her. Sebastian was so considerate; even though he had amnesia, he always worried about her.

After he finished washing up, he returned to bed and she tucked him in. “Sebastian, go to sleep.”

“You should get some rest too,” Sebastian murmured.

“Okay. I’ll go to bed once you’re asleep.”

Sebastian nodded and soon closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep. However, Rosalie wasn’t feeling sleepy and decided to take a walk.

As she left Sebastian’s room and headed for the hospital lobby to take a breather, a stretcher was hurriedly pushed past her.

A woman lay on the bed, covered in blood, screaming in agony, “Ah, it hurts so much! It hurts!”

Rosalie glanced at the woman on the stretcher. As it approached, she moved aside but then noticed something. She stared at the bloodied woman, who had been screaming in pain, but when she turned her head and saw Rosalie, their eyes met, and an intense sense of familiarity hit her.

Suddenly, the woman screamed, “Rose, Rose!”

Hearing her voice, Rosalie immediately recognized her

“Wait, wait!” the woman began to scream frantically. “That’s my niece! That’s my niece!”

The medical staff turned to Rosalie. “Are you h

Rosalie never imagined she would encounter her aunt, Laila Young, here.

Since the day her aunt abandoned her at the doorstep of SK Enterprise, Rosalie hadn’t seen her again. After Laila was wheeled away, a doctor approached Rosalie. “What are you standing there for? Is she your aunt?”

Rosalie nodded mechanically. “Yes.”

“Then hurry up! She’s seriously injured and needs surgery. Come and sign the consent forms!”

Rosalie’s mind was almost at a standstill, but she followed the doctor under his urgent prompting.

A few hours later, Laila’s surgery was over.

It was now the dead of night, and Rosalie was exhausted. When the surgical bed was pushed out, she didn’t rush to her aunt. After all, she had no affection for the aunt who had abandoned her all those years

ago.

She stayed because Laila was her father’s sister, and that was all.

“Doctor, how is she?” she asked as she stood up.

The doctor replied, “Her leg was broken, and she has multiple injuries from what appears to be a violent assault. We’ve set her leg and dealt with the internal bleeding. She’s out of danger now, but needs a lot of

rest.”

Rosalie was stunned. She didn’t know what had happened to her aunt, but upon reflection, it wasn’t surprising. She knew what kind of person her aunt was an avid gambler. This probably had something to do with that.

“Alright, I understand.”

Rosalie felt extremely conflicted. So much had happened today; and now, she had encountered her aunt, whom she hadn’t seen in years.

After Laila was settled in a hospital bed, Rosalie paid all the fees and completed the necessary paperwork. Exhausted, she dragged herself back to Sebastian’s room, carefully washed up, and went to sleep.

The next morning, Sebastian woke up. After breakfast, Rosalie wheeled him outside for a bit of sunshine. The fresh air lifted his spirits.

Worried that Rosalie might be tired, Sebastian soon suggested returning to the room. When they got back, they found Yvonne waiting for them.

“Vonnie, you’re here,” Sebastian said with a warm smile.

Seeing Sebastian’s smile, Yvonne was delighted. “Seb, do you remember?”

Sebastian shook his head. “No, but you’re my sister. You feel familiar.”

Yvonne felt a bit of relief.

Sebastián looked at Rosalie. The two of them had fought the day before, and there was tension between them as they stared at each other.

He noticed that something was wrong, and glanced at the two ladies. “What’s going on between you two? Is there something I should know?”

“Seb, can I talk to Rose alone for a moment? It won’t take long,” Yvonne said.

Sebastian chuckled. “Why are you asking me? You should ask Rose herself.”

Yvonne looked up at Rosalie. “Is that okay?”

Rosalie nodded. “Sure.”

The two of them stepped out of the room.

Outside the room, Rosalie began, “Vonnie, about yesterday, I know you have some misunderstandings. This situation is complicated, and sometimes, it’s hard to explain everything. You need to experience it to really understand-”

“I didn’t come to talk about that,” Yvonne interrupted. “I came to apologize to you.”

Chapter 573

Chapter 573

#Rosalie’s lips twitched in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Yvonne took a step closer. “I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that yesterday, and I shouldn’t have followed you. I’m sorry.”

Yvonne’s sudden apology left Rosalie at a loss. “Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”

+25 BONUS

Yesterday, Yvonne had been so self–righteous. Plus, she didn’t seem like the type to easily admit fault.

“I thought about it afterward,” Yvonne said. “I was wrong. We’re friends, and I shouldn’t have doubted you like that. You’re not someone who plays both sides. I should have trusted you. I was just worried because Theodore hurt you before, and I was afraid he might hurt you again. So, I… I got a bit worked up and said some things I shouldn’t have. Can you please not take my words to heart?”

Rosalie smiled faintly. “Vonnie, I was a little upset at first, but after thinking it over, I know you were worried about me. I was wrong too. If I had told you from the start, there wouldn’t have been any misunderstanding.”

Rosalie stepped forward, and took Yvonne’s hand. “We’re still good friends. This won’t change anything

between us.”

The fact Yvonne apologized was already a big step. As a wealthy heiress, she was very proud and wasn’t one to easily admit her mistakes, let alone so quickly. It showed she genuinely cared for Rosalie as a friend.

“Really?” Yvonne asked anxiously. “You’re not angry at me?”

“Of course not. I’m not mad. I’m happy you came to apologize. I made mistakes, too. Now that we’ve cleared things up, we’re still friends. Let’s not dwell on what happened yesterday.”

Yvonne sighed in relief. “That’s good.”

Ever since she found out Rosalie was her cousin, Yvonne treated her like a sister. Her harsh words yesterday were likely out of a sense of responsibility–though Rosalie didn’t know this.

At that moment, a doctor walked over. “Miss Young, your aunt is awake. You should go see her.”

Rosalie nodded. “Alright, I’ll go right away.‘

After the doctor left, Yvonne asked in confusion, “Your aunt?”

“Yes, I have an aunt I haven’t seen in years. She was brought to the hospital last night. I’ll go check on her. Can you stay with Seb? I’ll be right back.”

Yvonne nodded. “Sure, go ahead. If you need anything, just call me.”

Rosalie acknowledged with a nod, and headed to Laila’s room. She didn’t go in immediately but peeked through the window. After all these years, Rosalie didn’t know how to face her aunt.

Back when her parents were still alive, she remembered her aunt as someone who wasn’t exactly dependable or stable. They didn’t spend much time together, and her aunt wasn’t particularly kind or cruel –just indifferent. They didn’t live together, so she didn’t know her aunt that well.

After her parents died, her aunt had gone to great lengths to adopt her for the compensation money. That period of her life was indescribably difficult.

Today, she had paid for her aunt’s medical expenses and waited outside the operating room. Rosalie felt she had done more than enough.

Chapter 574

Rosalie knew she couldn’t stay here to care for her aunt indefinitely, so she took out her phone and called for a caregiver to come look after Laila.

Just as she was about to leave the room, Laila seemed to spot her.

“Rose!”

Rosalie had to stop and, with some reluctance, walked back into the room.

“Rose, it’s me! Do you remember me?” Laila reached out her hand. “I’m your aunt!” Rosalie sighed. As she reached the bedside, she saw that Laila was quite agitated.

“Rose, it’s so great to see you here! I thought I’d never see you again!”

Rosalie looked at her aunt with a cold detachment. “A caregiver will come by soon to take care of you. I’ve already covered the costs.”

“Good, good,” Laila said excitedly. “Rose, I knew you were a good kid. If I hadn’t run into you here, god knows what would happen to me. Could you stay a while and talk with me?”

Rosalie frowned. “No, I have other things to do. I need to leave now. Rest up. I don’t plan on visiting frequently. Once you’re better, you should discharge yourself.”

With that, Rosalie turned to leave.

“Hey, wait,” Laila called after her.

Rosalie turned around. “Is there something else?”

“Rose, it’s been years. Aren’t you going to talk with me for a bit? Are you just gonna walk out like this? Aren’t you even going to ask how I got hurt?”

Rosalie gave a cold smile. “Maybe we should talk about how you left me at the SK Enterprise door all those years ago instead. And as for how you got hurt, it’s pretty obvious.”

Laila’s smile faltered, and she gave an awkward laugh. “I know now what I did back then wasn’t right, but think about it from another perspective. It’s a good thing I left you there. Otherwise, how would you have ended up being adopted by the Spencers, who raised you so well? You even married their grandson, and now live a life of luxury.”

Rosalie frowned slightly, puzzled. “How do you know all this?”

She couldn’t believe her aunt kept track of her after abandoning her at SK Enterprise. Her aunt seemed like the type to avoid trouble and move on, not one to stay informed about her life.

“Oh, come on,” Laila said with an overly familiar smile. I couldn’t have really left you to fend for yourself! Even though I left you at SK Enterprise, I was worried about you. I kept tabs on you from behind the scenes, so-”

“I don’t believe you,” Rosalie interrupted. “I can’t believe you’re the type of person who’d do that.”

“It’s true! I’m not lying to you.”

Chapter 574

“No, you’re lying to me,” Rosalie said firmly. “You must’ve come looking for me later.”

“Yes, that’s right,” Laila said. “I did come looking for you, which is how I found out. See, I do care about you. I didn’t really abandon you. I figured you were adopted by the Spencers, so I didn’t come back.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Rosalie said. “I’m saying you must’ve come looking for me a long time afterward. Did you look for Grandma?”

“Well…” Laila laughed awkwardly. “Rose, I was concerned about you, so I checked in to see how you were doing. I was worried you might not be well cared for with the Spencers, so I-”

Chapter 575

“You were worried I’d have a hard time, so you abandoned me? Did you think I had it great with you? You should know what my life was like when you adopted me. You were often drunk, and took your anger out on me. I did all the housework until my hands were raw. Even though you took all of my parents‘ compensation money, you wouldn’t even pay for my school supplies. I was ostracized in class, and you never cared.”

“Are you complaining about me?” Laila growled. “I did adopt you, after all! Without me, you’d have been homeless.”

“And you have the nerve to say that?” Rosalie retorted. “You spent all my parents‘ compensation money! You know exactly why you adopted me.”

Laila’s face darkened. “How can you say that? I didn’t adopt you just for the money! I’m your closest relative, so of course I should be the one to take you in. Since I did take you in, why shouldn’t I use the money? After all, I was taking care of their daughter. You’re a living, breathing person. What does that money matter?”

Rosalie laughed bitterly. “You really have some nerve. I don’t want to waste my breath on you.”

No matter what she said, Laila would always counter and refuse to admit her faults. Still, Rosalie knew exactly what kind of person her aunt was.

“You should rest and get well. Goodbye.”

“Rosalie!” Laila yelled after her. “How can you treat me like this? After so many years, is this the treatment I get?”

“What do you expect? Should I be grateful to you? Is that what you want?”

Laila’s anger flared. “You blame me for abandoning you and spending all the money, but if I hadn’t done that, would you be living this good life now? Would you be a wealthy lady? You’ve become a high–society matron, all thanks to me! You don’t thank me, and you treat me like this. You’re ungrateful!”

Rosalie snorted. “You mistreat me, and still expect gratitude? I really have no words for you. Call me ungrateful if you like. I’ve done what I could. I paid your hospital bills, and that’s the only thing I can and am willing to do for you. As for everything else, you’re on your own.”

Seeing Rosalie’s cold demeanor, Laila was furious. However, she didn’t dare to lash out. After all, Rosalie held the power now.

As Rosalie was about to leave, Laila shouted, “I was wrong! I’m really sorry! Can you forgive me?”

Rosalie paused at the door, and turned back. “Alright, I forgive you.”

Laila fell silent, taken aback by Rosalie’s straightforward forgiveness. “Are you serious?”

“Yes, I am.”

“That’s great!” Laila said with a smile. “Since you’ve forgiven me, there’s no more conflict between us. Could you…could you lend me some money?”

Rosalie sneered. “So now that I’ve forgiven you, you want to borrow money?”

“I’m your aunt! Since you’ve forgiven me, we’re family.”

“Family? Forgiveness? What do they have to do with this? Yes, you’re my aunt, but forgiving you doesn’t mean I’ll lend you money, nor does it mean I want any further connection with you. I did it to put myself at ease, not to forget what you’ve done. I don’t want to see you again. You’re on your own!” Rosalie said firmly.

Chapter 576

Rosalie walked out of the hospital room, ignoring Laila’s frantic shouts.

“Rosalie, come back! Come back now! You can’t leave!

Laila tried to get out of bed to chase after her, but her legs wouldn’t cooperate. All she could do was watch helplessly as Rosalie’s figure disappeared down the hallway.

Once outside, Rosalie immediately called Rebecca. The phone rang only once before Rebecca’s kind and patient voice answered.

“Rose, is that you? What’s the matter?”

“Grandma, I need to ask you something, and I need you to be honest with me.”

Rebecca chuckled softly. “Of course, dear. What is it?”

Rosalie took a deep breath. “Did Aunt Laila ever come to see you?”

There was a sudden silence on the other end.

After a moment, Rebecca replied, “Why are you asking about this now?”

“Grandma, please just answer my question. She did come to see you, didn’t she?”

Rebecca sighed. “Yes, she did, but it was many years ago.”

Rosalie frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me? I had no idea.”

“Because you were still in school then, and I didn’t want to upset you. I knew your aunt hadn’t treated you well, so I handled it myself.”

“Grandma, you should have told me.”

“I know, but it’s all in the past now. If I had told you back then, it would have only caused you more stress. You were busy with your studies, and I didn’t want to affect your mood. I’m sorry.”

Rosalie sighed softly. “I’m not angry with you, Grandma. I understand you didn’t tell me because you were. trying to protect me. But when she came to see you, it wasn’t out of concern for me, was it? Did she ask you for money?”

Rebecca hesitated before admitting, “Yes, she did. She asked for fifty thousand.”

“Fifty thousand?” Rosalie was stunned. “She actually asked for that much? Did you give it to her?”

“I did,” Rebecca replied.

“Grandma, you shouldn’t have given her that much! She’s a gambler; she would have blown through it in

no time.”

“I know,” Rebecca said. “When I saw her, I knew exactly what kind of person she was. But I did it for you. I was worried she’d keep bothering you. I told her very clearly that I would only give her money once. I said that if she ever came to the Spencers again, I would make sure she regretted it. She hasn’t appeared

since then. But now that you’re asking about it, I assume she’s been bothering you again. Tell me where she is, and I’ll handle it.”

“I ran into her by accident, Grandma. She was injured, so I paid her medical bills.”

“I see. It might not have been an accident. She could have been trying to find you.”

Rosalie sighed. “I’m not sure.”

Running into Laila could only mean trouble.

“Rose, don’t worry about her. She’s a bottomless pit. Which hospital is she in? I’ll go talk to her myself and make sure she never bothers you again.”

“Grandma, I’ll try to handle this myself. Please don’t worry.”

Rosalie didn’t want to burden her grandmother with her family issues. The Spencers had already been more than generous. Rebecca didn’t have to give Laila anything. Fifty thousand dollars was a huge sum, and Rebecca had given it for her sake.

“Alright, but if anything happens, remember to tell me. I’ll always be here for you. Don’t keep things to yourself. We’re family. No matter what happens between you and Theo, the Spencers will always be your family. I believe he feels the same way,” Rebecca said.

“Alright. I understand, Grandma.”

After hanging up, Rosalie let out a deep sig

Time flew by, and before long, it was time for Sebastian’s discharge. After spending about twenty–five days in the hospital, his recovery was progressing well, and he only needed to focus on resting.

During this period, Rosalie hadn’t seen Theodore at all. It was as if things were completely over, and there was nothing left between them.

In a way, it wasn’t all bad.

Back at the Carter Residence, Sebastian found comfort in the familiar surroundings. Although he vaguely remembered some things, the memories remained fragmented.

Now that he could move around freely and live a normal life, his spirits had lifted significantly.

That evening, after a bath, Sebastian returned to his room. He saw Rosalie making the bed.

Hearing his footsteps, she turned and said, “Seb, the bed’s ready. Come over and rest.”

She patted the bed’s edge, and then straightened up. As she turned to leave, he suddenly pulled her into a hug and leaned in, wanting to kiss her.

Rosalie was startled and quickly turned her face away, pushing hard against his chest. “Seb, what are you doing?”

Seeing her alarmed reaction, he frowned slightly in confusion. “We’re married. Why are you so nervous?”

She swallowed hard, pushing him away and stepping back a few paces.

His confusion deepened. “Rose, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?”

“No,” she explained. “Seb, you’re still recovering and should be resting. It’s late. You should sleep, and I’ll stay in the next room.”

Before she could leave, Sebastian stepped forward and took her hand firmly. “Rose, don’t go.”

Rosalie stopped in her tracks, and glanced back at him. “Seb, you need to rest.”

“But I want to sleep with you,” Sebastian said, grabbing her shoulders and turning her to face him. “Why are you so scared of me?”

“Seb, I’m not scared of you. I’m just worried about you…

“I asked the doctor,” he said. “Before I was discharged, asked if we could be intimate. The doctor said it was fine, as long as it wasn’t too strenuous. It’s been so long since we were close. Don’t you want that?”

Rosalie felt embarrassed, and looked down nervously. “Seb, even if the doctor said it’s okay, we still need to be cautious. After all, you had a major surgery, so I think…”

“Rose, why are you rejecting me?” Sebastian’s tone turned serious. “Is it really just about your concerns for my health?”

“Of course, it’s because I’m worried about your health,” Rosalie said. “Sebastian, don’t misunderstand. I just-”

“Just what?” Sebastian interrupted. “Rose, to be honest, I feel like you’ve been avoiding me.”

He voiced his frustration.

Rosalie forced a smile. “I’m not avoiding you. Sometimes I just need a little time to myself. It’s not because of you.”

“Rose, I know what I’m talking about,” Sebastian said, sounding slightly hurt. “I understand you’re tired from taking care of me and want some time for yourself. I get that. But it’s not just about being alone. Whenever I try to be close to you, whether it’s kissing you or hugging you, you pull away. It feels like you don’t want me to touch you. But you’re my wife. Why can’t I touch you?”

Chapter 578

Chapter 578

Rosalie’s heart raced. “Seb, you were in the hospital, and you weren’t well.”

“That’s no excuse,” Sebastian said. “I was ill, but a hug or a kiss shouldn’t be a problem, right? Now that I’m out of the hospital and the doctor has given the go–ahead for some intimacy, are you willing to let me be close to you?”

Rosalie stared at him in silence.

Sebastian took a step closer. “Honey, let’s have a hug.”

He wrapped his arms around her back. “Honey.”

Even with his memory loss, Sebastian was still a normal man. Holding his beloved woman, his mind was filled with thoughts. He turned his face, and whispered in her ear, “You smell so good.”

Rosalie flinched and pushed him away, stepping back a few paces. “No, we can’t do this.”

“Why not?” Sebastian’s frown deepened, his voice rising. “Tell me why we can’t. I’m your husband. Don’t use my health as an excuse. I won’t believe you.”

“Sebastian, we just can’t,” Rosalie said, her eyes misting. “We can’t…”

“Tell me why.” Sebastian clenched his fists, his voice full of frustration. “I’ve been enduring this for so long. Your avoidance is hurting me, but 1 care about how you feel, so I kept silent. But I can’t bear it anymore. Forgive my outburst, but I need to know why.”

Heavy silence fell between them. Rosalie looked at Sebastian’s anguished eyes, at a loss for words.

“Rose, you’re being so cruel. You refuse me, and won’t tell me why. I don’t even know what I did wrong. You keep saying I haven’t done anything wrong, so why are you treating me this way? If it’s going to be like this, I’d rather have failed the surgery and died on the table than face your indifference now.”

Hearing such resolute and sorrowful words from Sebastian, Rosalie felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.” It’s not your fault, Seb. You haven’t done anything wrong. It’s all my problems.”

“Then what’s the issue? If you don’t tell me, I’ll think it’s my fault. What’s really going on?”

“I’m pregnant,” Rosalie finally said.

Sebastian froze. “What did you say?”

Rosalie looked down at her stomach. “I’m pregnant.”

She could no longer keep it a secret. Her belly was already showing after more than four months. It was noticeable, though she had been concealing the bump with loose clothing and generally avoiding Sebastian.

Sebastian’s eyes widened in shock and joy as he focused on her stomach. “You’re pregnant?”

“Yes,” Rosalie said. “It’s been over four months.”

Sebastian’s gaze was locked on her belly, a mix of surprise and happiness in his eyes. He stepped closer. I can’t believe I didn’t know.”

Chapter 578

“No,” Rosalie said. “You did know before, but after the accident, you lost your memory. Plus, with my loose clothing hiding the bump, it’s understandable you didn’t realize.”

“Why didn’t you tell me? Even if I lost my memory, you should have told me immediately! I’m your husband, and this is our child. We…”

Suddenly, realization struck Sebastian. He looked at her in shock.

If Rosalie had deliberately hidden her pregnancy with loose clothing, there was only one reason for it–the baby wasn’t his.

Sebastian stared at her in utter disbelief. “Rose, is it what I’m thinking?”

Chapter 579

Chapter 579

With the conversation reaching this point, Rosalie could only admit the truth. She nodded. “Yes. I’m sorry, Seb. This baby isn’t yours, which is why I didn’t tell you about it.”

She simply didn’t want to deceive Sebastian.

This child wasn’t his. Lying to him would be unfair to him and to the baby she was carrying. She couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Sebastian felt as if he’d been struck by lightning.

“It’s not mine? Then whose is it? What happened between us? Why are you carrying another man’s child? We’re married!

“No… it can’t be.”

Sebastian’s head suddenly ached. He raised his hand to his head, and stepped back.

“How can this be? Did you cheat on me? Why are you carrying someone else’s baby? No, this isn’t right. Rose, how could you cheat on me? We’re legally married. How could you!”

Sebastian’s voice grew increasingly agitated, and with the pain becoming unbearable, he collapsed to the ground.

“Seb!” Rosalie rushed to his side, holding his arms and trying to help him up. “Seb, please don’t do this.” Sebastian was highly emotional, and he gripped Rosalie’s shoulders tightly.

“Rose, tell me the truth. The memories I’ve been recalling–you crying in my arms, saying I lied to you–did I really do something to betray you? Was I not good to you, or…or did I cheat on you? Is that why you’re doing this, why you’re carrying another man’s child? Tell me, is that it?”

“Seb, it’s not what you think. Please get up and listen to me.”

“No! Tell me now!” Sebastian’s grip tightened. “Tell me why you’re pregnant with another man’s child! What did I do wrong? Why did you do this? Why?”

He was nearly shouting.

Rosalie felt a sharp pain in her shoulders. “Seb, you’re hurting me! Let go!”

Hearing Rosalie cry out in pain, Sebastian immediately released her, looking distraught. “I’m sorry, Rose. I didn’t mean to. I’m so sorry.”

Sebastian hung his head in shame. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. What did I do wrong?”

“I’m pregnant with my ex–husband’s child,” Rosalie finally admitted. “Seb, can you calm down and listen to me? Can we sit down and talk?”

She was worried that Sebastian’s extreme emotions would affect his health.

With Rosalie’s soothing words, Sebastian stood up, allowing her to help him to the bed. She covered him with a blanket. “Seb, how are you feeling? Does your head hurt?”

Sebastian was drenched in cold sweat. “Rose, please, just tell me. What do you mean it’s your ex-

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I got divorced from my ex–husband before marrying you. I’m carrying his child. You knew about this, but my ex–husband doesn’t.”

Sebastian was silent for a moment before asking, “How long after your divorce did we get married?”

Rosalie sighed softly. “Not long. About a month.”

Sebastian’s unease grew. “Did we marry out o

Chapter 580

Rosalie was silent for a long time. “Sebastian, so much has happened between us, but please believe that everything will work out. I’ve been by your side all this time. Can you not…pressure me?”

Seeing the redness in Rosalie’s eyes, Sebastian lowered his gaze, thought for a moment, then took her arm. “Rose, I never wanted to pressure you. I was just confused, and now that you’ve told me, I feel…”

“Are you angry?” Rosalie asked. “If you’re angry, just tell me.”

Sebastian shook his head. “No, I’m not angry. I’m just very sad. And deep down, I feel like I’ve always known.”

“Seb, I’m sorry I’ve upset you.”

“Rose, if you can’t answer my questions directly, it must mean this is very complicated. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. I know it’s for my own good, and I won’t pressure you. But promise me, if something comes up, you’ll tell me. I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do. I just want you to be happy. I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

Sebastian’s understanding and kindness made Rosalie feel very comforted. She nodded and gently patted his hand. “Alright, I promise. But you also have to promise me not to overthink things. If you have doubts, you can ask me.”

“Okay, I will,” Sebastian replied softly.

Rosalie took out a few tissues, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. “You should rest now, Seb. It’s very late.”

“You’re not sleeping here tonight?”

Rosalie shook her head. “No, I’ll sleep in the next room. Since I’m pregnant, it’s more comfortable for me to sleep alone.”

元

Sebastian stared at her belly for a long time. Rosalie felt uneasy.

“Seb, if you have any concerns, just say so. Are you unhappy that I married you while carrying my ex- husband’s child?”

“No,” Sebastian said quickly. “I believe you. Since I knew about this before we got married, it doesn’t bother me. Even now, I feel the same way. It’s just… I’m still in shock. It’s hard to process all at once, especially since I’ve lost my memory. Finding out my wife is pregnant with another man’s child is a lot to

take in…”

He bit his lip, unsure of what to say next.

“Seb, you’ve handled this very even with your memory loss, you’ve tried to accept everything. I’m

proud of you,” she said.

Sebastian looked at her, his eyes wide with disbelief. “Really?”

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, really.”

He gave a bitter smile. “You’re proud of me for accepting that my wife is pregnant with another man’s child. It all feels a bit ridiculous.”
