Chapter 461

Theodore felt as if he had been struck by lightning. “You think he ended up like this because of me?”

“They’re investigating, aren’t they? We won’t know who did it until we find out. Some people are beasts disguised as humans.” Rosalie emphasized the last four words.

Theodore was dumbstruck.

The police officers turned to look at Theodore. They noticed he had bruises on his face and hands, indicative of a recent fight.

Rosalie’s hands were trembling. She didn’t want to think Theodore had done this, but she felt like she didn’t know him anymore. Moreover, if he continued staying here, he would only pressure her to sign the consent form. It was best for him to leave.

“He’s my ex–husband, and often gets into fights with my husband. They’ve fought more than once. Yesterday, he suddenly came to reconcile with me. I refused, and he got very agitated. That’s when my husband arrived to protect me, and they had a fight,” she went on.

“Rose, do you really have to smear my name like this?” Theodore clenched his fists.

“Not a single word is slander. Everything I said is the truth.‘

11

Rosalie had a clear conscience. Everyone was a suspect of hurting Sebastian. What she said was the truth; she had even withheld somet facts, such as what Theodore did to her yesterday.

She believed she had been more than fair.

If the investigation proved Theodore hadn’t harmed Sebastian, he would be fine. But if he was responsible, she wouldn’t cover up for him.

“And,” Rosalie continued, “he just hit someone.”

Rosalie pushed Yerick toward the police officers. “He hit my friend.”

Theodore snorted coldly. She was indeed ruthless.

“Mr. Spencer, please come with us to the police station to assist with the investigation,” the officer said.

Theodore stared coldly at Rosalic, his eyes filled with disappointment. He took a deep breath to calm himself before saying, “Alright, let me call my lawyer.”

Theodore pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and informed his lawyer of the situation. Then, he hung up and followed the police. officers.

Since Theodore hit Yerick, Yerick also had to go to the police station to give a statement, especially if he wanted to take legal action.

Before leaving, Theodore turned around, his eyes glinting coldly. He was deeply hurt.

After everything calmed down outside, the doctor came out of the ward.

Rosalie immediately approached him. “Doctor, how is he?”

The attending physician removed his mask and said, “We have managed to resuscitate Mr. Carter temporarily, but he’s still in critical. condition. He could have other complications.”

“Then keep trying to save him,” Rosalie insisted.

The doctor sighed. “Mrs. Carter, I understand how you feel, but as a doctor, I must tell you the truth. Mr. Carter’s organs will fail completely soon. There’s no activity in his brain; but his heart, liver, and kidneys are a match for three other patients in urgent need of transplants. So…”

“Have you tried your best to save him?” Rosalie pressed. “You should be consulting all medical records you can get your hands on and

researching similar cases worldwide, not just thinking about organ donation!”

“Mrs. Carter, we have done our best.”

“No, you haven’t! If you had, you wouldn’t be talking about organ donation! Ever since Sebastian arrived at this hospital and you discovered his organs matched three other patients, you just gave up!”

Rosalie wasn’t naive. She knew even hospitals could be filled with dirty deals and dark secrets. Not all doctors were good people.

If a patient couldn’t pay, they would be kicked out even if they could be saved. The hospital didn’t really care, and just wanted profit.

Even if there were doctors with a conscience, they were probably powerless. She didn’t trust the doctors from this hospital.

“Mrs. Carter, your accusations are serious. We’re doctors, so of course we’ll do our best to save patients. We would never…”

“Then stop talking about organ donations with me. I do not agree,” she cut him off.

The doctor was frustrated. He thought Rosalie was selfish, but there was nothing he could do. Without her consent, they couldn’t proceed with the surgery. If she made a scene, things could get out of hand.

After the doctor left, Rosalie’s energy left her, and she almost collapsed.

Yvonne caught her. “Rose, are you alright?”

Rosalie started crying again. “What should I do?”

Yvonne was also at a loss. Just then, several bodyguards walked over. Mrs. Carter, Miss Carter.”

“Stand guard outside the ward and protect my brother. No one except medical staff is allowed in,” Yvonne instructed.

The bodyguards nodded.

“Let’s get you something to eat. The bodyguards will watch over Seb,” Yvonne said to Rosalie.

Rosalie shook her head. “I’m not hungry. I want to stay here with Seb.”

“He’s my brother. I’m worried about him too, but staying here won’t help. The best thing we can do is take care of ourselves, especially you. If you don’t eat or drink, my brother will worry. He cares about you the most,” Yvonnie insisted.

Rosalie looked up at Yvonne, moved. Finally, she nodded. “Okay.”

In the hospital’s resting area, Yvonne found a quiet spot for Rosalie to sit down. Worry was etched on Rosalie’s face.

Yvonne sat beside her, and gently patted her shoulder. “Rose, no matter what happens, remember that Seb would want you to be okay.”

“Vonnie, are you prepared for the worst?”

Yvonne sighed. “Sometimes, we have to face reality.”

“If that’s what you think too, should we let Seb save someone else?”

Although Rosalie wanted to hold on to this slim hope, deep down, she knew it was as good as nothing.

Yvonne shook her head. “I don’t know. If I were you, I’d be very conflicted too. I hope my brother wakes up, but given his condition…”

“Vonnie, I hope for a miracle, but right now, I really wish your parents were here. After all, my marriage to Sebastian isn’t real. I feel it’s unfair for me to make this decision.”

“Rose, don’t think like that,” Yvonne said, holding her hand. “You are legally his wife, and that’s what matters. Besides, my parents aren’t here right now. You’re the only one who can make the decision. You’ve been persistent in protecting my brother, and haven’t been swayed by others. You’ve done well.”

“And what about you?” Rosalie asked. “You’re his sister.”

“That’s true, but you’re here. You’re his wife, so you’re the first person we turn to for a decision. If you don’t agree, my consent doesn’t matter. If you agree and I don’t, it still doesn’t change anything.”

“What if you and your parents weren’t here, and you had the right to make a decision? What would you do?” Rosalie asked.

“Let’s not think about this for now. Let’s wait and see. This is all we can do right now.” Yvonne stood up. “Wait here for a bit. I’ll get you

something to eat,”

“It’s okay. I’m not hungry.”

“Yes, but I’m sure your baby is. You need to be well–fed and nourished to be able to make the right decision for Seb.”

“Alright.” Rosalie nodded.

As Yyonne went to get some food for her, Rosalie slumped weakly on the table.

“Lord, please, let Sebastian wake up. He’s a good person. He doesn’t deserve this. Please!” she prayed.

Just then, a woman’s voice came from beside her. “Are you Mrs. Carter?”

Rosalie turned, to see a middle–aged woman walking toward her. She had an uneasy feeling, and could guess what was coming. Before she could answer, the woman was already at her side.

“Mrs. Carter, I heard your husband has little chance of waking up now.”

Indeed, Rosalie’s guess was correct. The woman had come to get her to sign the consent form. But… How did his relatives find her?

According to regulations, doctors weren’t supposed to disclose donor information. If it wasn’t the doctors who revealed it, how did the families of the patients find her?

“Sorry, I don’t want to discuss this right now,” Rosalie said.

“Mrs. Carter, my husband has been waiting for a liver for years. We finally found a match, and now, his life is hanging by a thread. Since your husband is close to the end, could you save my husband instead? I’m begging you!” the woman pleaded.

She was playing the victim very well, her eyes brimming with tears. Rosalie felt very uncomfortable, as the woman was blackmailing her emotionally.

“Mrs. Carter, my son is ten years old and urgently needs a kidney transplant! His kidneys are failing, and he has been on dialysis for a long time. It’s sad to see such a young child suffer. Could you take pity on us and sign the consent form?” another said.

“Yes, Mrs. Carter. My husband is the provider of om family. Since he fell ill, our whole family has fallen apart!”

A group of people had surrounded Rosalic. They all seemed to be family members of the patients. Though they were saying sorrowful words, their demeanor was quite menacing.

They surrounded Rosalie, taking turns to emotionally blackmail her.

“Move aside! Move aside!” Rosalie tried to leave, but she was blocked by the crowd.

“Mrs. Carter, if you were in our position, you would be just as anxious!” they persisted.

“Exactly! My son is only ten years old! He still has a bright future, while your husband is on the verge of death.”

“Mrs. Carter, please do us a favor and agree! If you sign, your husband could save many lives.”

“So many people are waiting for your husband to save them. Hurry up and sign! My son can’t wait much longer!”

Rosalie felt her head throbbing. “Enough! Stop talking! Who told you I’m the donor’s family member? Who told you that?”

The people exchanged looks, but didn’t answer her question. “It doesn’t matter who told us. What matters is your husband is on the verge of dying. Why are you holding on to a zombie? You’re still young! You can find someone else after he dies!”

“Yeah! Why be so stubborn? My son is only ten years old, the poor

thing. Take pity on him and sign the papers now, and he can have the surgery right away! Once he’s better, I’ll definitely bring him to visit your husband at his grave.”

“Shut up! Stop talking!” Rosalie yelled in anger. “Stop bothering me! Let me go!”

“How can you be so heartless?” one woman screamed. “You’re so selfish! Your husband is beyond saving, but so many people are waiting for his organs. Why won’t you sign? You’re so selfish!”

“Exactly! You’re incredibly selfish and lack any sense of morality!”

“Her ten–year–old needs the organ! How can you be so cruel?”

“Your husband can’t be saved, but you’re still dragging this out. Once his organs fail, they’ll be useless! How can you be so unreasonable?”

“One person’s life can save so many others! It’s such a simple calculation! How can you not understand?”

Yvonne saw Rosalie surrounded by a group of people when she came back with the food. She ran over at once, placed the food aside, and demanded, “What’s going on?”

Squeezing into the crowd, she took Rosalie by the arm and pulled the latter away.

“Rose, are you okay?” she asked, concerned.

Rosalie nodded. “I’m fine. I just want to leave.”

Yvonne wanted to take her away, but they were blocked by the crowd. From their comments, she could tell that these people were family members of patients waiting for organ transplants.

She couldn’t understand how they had found their way here. This was clearly a form of coercion!Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Get out of the way! My brother is not obligated to donate his organs! You’re the ones being vicious by forcing my sister–in–law like this!” she snarled at them..

Finally, it was quiet.

“Uncle!” Yvonne stepped forward and hugged him. “You’re back!”

Yvonne had called Christopher early in the morning, but he was out of town. Upon receiving the news, he rushed back immediately. As a precaution, brought the police to handle any incidents.

As expected, an incident had indeed occurred.

“Look at what you’re saying! Your brother is already dying. Would you rather cremate him than donate his organs? How can your whole family be so vicious?” one of them spat.

“Why is there only two women here? Where are your parents? Get a man who can handle this to talk. Women are so petty, they can’t handle major matters!”

Yvonne was furious. “I think you’re all stupid and evil! You don’t even know who’s in charge of medical decisions. I’m telling you, even if my parents were here today, they wouldn’t agree to it!”

“Hey, how dare you insult us? Who are you calling stupid and evil? You’re ignorant and malicious!”

“Both of you are so unreasonable! You obviously can’t see the bigger picture!”

The surrounding voices grew louder as the crowd cursed. Rosalie’s head throbbed, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. Her emotions were like surging magma, and the pressure was growing unbearable.

“All of you, shut up!” she suddenly screamed.

The scene fell silent in an instant, and all eyes turned to Rosalie.

Rosalie turned to Yvonne. “Call the police. These people are seriously harassing us. Also, get a lawyer. I want to sue this hospital for leaking our information.”

“The police are already here,” a cold male voice suddenly cut in.

Yvonne’s eyes lit up at this voice. “Uncle Christopher!”

Christopher led a group of bodyguards and police officers toward them. He turned to say to the police officer behind him, “See that? They’re harassing my family. Handle it accordingly.”

“We’ll handle this, Mr. Jackson,” the police officer said politely.

Christopher looked at her with a puzzled expression. His gaze was fixated on her as all kinds of feelings surged within him. Why did she look so much like…

“Uncle? Hello?” Yvonne noticed Christopher was lost in thought, and gently shook his arm. “Uncle, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Christopher regained his senses. “Your brother got married, and you didn’t even let me know?”

Christopher’s gaze shifted back to Rosalie. It was obvious she was under immense pressure.

“Don’t worry. With me here, no one will harass you. I’ve brought in some top doctors to consult on Sebastian’s case and see what can be done,” he said.

Rosalie stared at the man in front of her, feeling a strange familiarity and unfamiliarity. She was sure she had never met him before, but this man appeared imposing and authoritative. The police had also shown him great respect, indicating he was no ordinary person.

“Rosalie, right?” Christopher asked, having been briefed by Yvonne over the phone before he arrived.

“Yes,” Rosalie responded softly.

“I’ll make sure that Sebastian’s case is thoroughly investigated, and we find out what happened. As his wife, you have the legal right to make medical decisions for him. So, what are your thoughts on this?”

Christopher appeared very calm, almost to the point of indifference.

But Rosalie could sense that he was capable, and could remain. composed in the face of any situation. Being anxious wouldn’t help; staying calm was better when dealing with big issues.

Rosalie took a deep breath, and said, “Even if hope is slim, I don’t want to give up on him. And since you mentioned bringing in other doctors for a consultation, I would like to hear what they have to say.”

Christopher nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, let’s wait for the results. together.”

The doctors Christopher brought in were in the conference room discussing Sebastian’s case, which took some time. Rosalie had no

choice but to wait patiently.

After the hospital dean learned about the situation, he immediately took action and apologized to Rosalie

The hospital assured her that they hadn’t leaked any information about Rosalie and Sebastian, and had no idea how the family members. of the patients found out. However, Rosalie didn’t believe them.

If it hadn’t been for the doctors informing Theodore, he wouldn’t have found her. Whether they leaked any information privately was known only to them. If everyone followed the rules, there would be no need for the police.

Since things had already escalated to this point, the hospital was overwhelmed. They no longer dared to pressure Rosalie into signing the consent form.

An hour and a half later, the consultation results from the doctors were ready.

Rosalie, Yvonne, and Christopher went to the conference room and spent another half hour discussing the results.

The consulting doctors provided detailed information about Sebastian’s condition. Their final diagnosis was similar to that of the hospital’s own doctors: Sebastian was given a 3 on the coma scale, so the chance of him waking up was slim.

There were no good solutions at present, and performing brain surgery forcibly carried a high risk of death on the operating table.

Christopher was dissatisfied with the results. The doctors said they would continue to study the case.

Rosalie returned to Sebastian’s ward, and sat by his bedside. She held his hand, and just stared at him silently.

Yvonne and Christopher stood outside the ward.

Christopher wanted to enter, but Yvonne said, “Uncle, let Rose be

alone with Seb for a while. I know it’s what he’d want.”

Christopher nodded. “Alright. Why don’t we find a place to sit for a bit, and you can tell me more about this sister–in–law of yours?”

Chapter 466

“Uncle, are you interested in Rose’s affairs?”

She could sense something wrong with the look in Christopher’s eyes when he looked at Rose. It didn’t feel malicious, but more like he had bumped into someone familiar after having not seen her for many years.

Christopher’s face turned cold. Displeased, he said, “What? Can’t I just ask about it? Should I not be asking about your husband from now on? I’ve doted on you in vain.”

“No, Uncle!” Yvonne said. “I’ll tell you if you want to know. Let’s find somewhere to sit down and talk.”

With that, Yvonne led Christopher away.

Rosalie sprawled in the hospital bed as she looked sorrowfully at Sebastian.

“Seb, can you hear me? I really wish you can wake up right now. Give me a miracle, won’t you? As long as you wake up, I’ll do anything you ask of me. I won’t make you angry, too.

“Seb, I’ve made things clear to Theodore. I’ve rejected him, too. Don’t be angry at me anymore, okay? Wake up, please.”

Just then, a voice sounded from outside the door.

“What are you doing? You’re not allowed inside.”

“I’m looking for the lady inside. I know her.”

“Which lady? Whoever you’re looking for isn’t here. Hurry and leave!”

Rosalie sat up, wiped her tears away, and saw Yerick being stopped outside by a bodyguard.

“Yerry, what brings you here?” she said, surprised. Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Rose,” Yerick said with a wave of his hand. “The police let me go after taking my statement.”

“Let him in. I know him,” Rosalie said to the bodyguard.

With Mrs. Carter’s permission, the bodyguard didn’t stop Yerick from entering the ward. He stepped right in.

“Rose, I heard the police say that your husband is in this state because he was attacked.”

A wave of misery overwhelmed Rosalie, her heart breaking as tears fell down her cheeks before she could stop them.

“Don’t cry, Rose. I panic when you do,” Yerick said quickly.

Rosalie nodded. “I’ll stop.”

She tried her best to stop herself, knowing that crying wouldn’t help anything. Plus, Sebastian himself

“Yerry, why did you come here after leaving the police station? Aren’t you quite tied up?”

“I’m not busy today, Rose. I was worried you might be upset, so I came back to see you,” Yerick said with a look of concern. “Thanks, Yerry.”

It felt as though every time she was at her lowest, there would always be someone by her side, keeping her company.

“Don’t mention it. I didn’t do anything at all except for saying some encouraging words.”

“That’s good enough,” Rosalie said. “At the very least, you’re on my side.”

“Well, of course I am. No matter what happens, I know you’re a good person.”

“I’m sorry you got beaten up today,” Rosalie said guiltily.

“It’s alright. It doesn’t hurt at all,” Yerick said, with a smile as bright as sunshine.

“Oh, yes!” Rosalie suddenly thought of something. “How’s Theodore?”

She wondered how the police’s investigations were going, and whether they had found anything yet.

“I don’t know. He was taken

et

somewhere by the police. Do you really think your ex-husband is guilty of causing your husband to become like this?” Yerick said.

Rosalie shook her head. “I don’t know if he did it, the police will do their job in getting to the bottom of the matter. I just hope that Seb will recover from this. He might know who injured him.”

Rosalie turned around, and looked at Sebastian. She rubbed his hand and massaged his fingers gently.

“It’s all my fault. If he hadn’t been mad at me, this might not have happened to him.”

Chapter 467

“Why do you say that? Did you two fight before the incident occurred?” Yerick asked doubtfully.

Rosalie sighed. “You can say that. If only we had talked things out peacefully… I’m really beginning to think that Sebastian’s accident was all my fault.”

“Rose, please don’t blame yourself,” Yerick said, crouching. “How could it be your fault? In such a situation, the only appropriate conclusion is that the perpetrator is wicked through and through.”

“But I feel very upset. Give me another chance, and I’ll stop him from leaving even if it costs my life! I’m willing to do anything,” Rosalie said bitterly.

Yerick patted Rosalie’s shoulders gently to comfort her. “Rose, don’t blame yourself too much. There are some things that are out of your control. You didn’t want this to happen, either.”

What a silly woman!

Yerick had been targeting Sebastian for a long time. Even if Rosalie didn’t exist, Sebastian would be doomed for having such a useful organ anyway. The only regret he had was that he failed.

At first, he thought Sebastian would die the moment he was sent to the hospital. Yerick had the timing all calculated, but didn’t expect this man to be so hardy. It became difficult for Rose to make a decision.

This was his first ever mistake he had ever committed in his adulthood.

Each time he planned on having someone die at a specific time, that person would die at that precise minute-without fail.

Sebastian wasn’t an obedient fella.

Rosalie held Sebastian’s hand tighter, and pressed his palm against her cheek. “If… If he dies, I’ll never forgive myself.”

Yerick found it strange. Wasn’t their marriage just a sham? Sebastian was just a friend, so why did Rosalie care so much for him? She even sent Theodore straight to the police for Sebastian’s sake.

Why didn’t things go the way he expected them to? Wasn’t this woman blindly in love with Theodore?

How frustrating…

Love was a complicated and disgusting animal. To Yerick, being cold and heartless made one most beautiful.

However, he didn’t like seeing Rose care so much for another man. It didn’t make him happy one bit. Conversely, it didn’t make him happy to see Rose so upset.

He really liked Rose. She was so pretty, it would be a pity for her to be sad her whole life.

Ten minutes later, Yerick left the ward.

Rosalie wanted to be alone with Sebastian.

Yerick looked at the two of them through the glass panel on the door, and sighed.

How annoying! Rose wasn’t happy, and that in turn made him upset too.

Back to before Sebastian’s accident, Yerick had whispered in Sebastian’s ear…NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“It’s not hard to snag a woman. You just need to…

“Die.”

Sebastian furrowed his brows as he looked at the cunning smile on the man’s face. He stood up, straightened out his jacket, and smirked.

“You’re just a lonely and pitiful

et

pervert who incites people to bring out their darkest sides. I’m telling you, I’m not buying it. I’ll rely on hard work to get what I want.”

A truly strong person wouldn’t be controlled by others.

Sebastian pulled out a few notes from his wallet, and stood up to leave the bar counter.

A lonely and pitiful pervert?

Yerick tightened his grip over his glass as his lips twisted in a crooked sneer.

Sebastian Carter had hit the nail on the head!

After leaving the bar, Sebastian realized someone was following him. He ignored it, and continued walking forward.

“Do you really think hard work will get you everything you want? I didn’t expect you to be so naive.”

It was the same man from before.

Sebastian stopped in his tracks, and turned around. “What else, if not that?”

“Am I wrong to say that? Women are all like that, they only remember the good and not the bad.”

“The woman I care about isn’t like what you described. You don’t understand at all. I’m sure she wants to see me right now. I’m going to find her and take her home. This problem can be solved.”

“How are you going to solve the problem? Continue being good to her and stand idly by, while you watch her love another man?”

Sebastian sneered, “Whatever it is, I

won’t just blindly heed the advice of a strange man and torture the woman Hove. I’m not an extremist who’s out of control, neither aml a fool with no mind of my own Don’t think about trying to control me.”

Chapter 468

Sebastian opened his car door, and was about to head in when the man behind him said, “What a perfect man! I’m almost falling in love with you. Drive safely.”

His words made Sebastian furrow his brows as he recalled the man’s suggestion of dying. He sensed that something was off, but he got into his car and drove away.

Along the way, he wanted to call Rosalie. However, he found her phone switched off and guessed that it must have run out of power.

He put his phone aside, and drove back. He had to find Rosalie, and make things clear with her.

He wanted to tell her that he loved her, and that he was willing to keep waiting for her. He didn’t want to keep his feelings to himself any longer! Suddenly, Sebastian started seeing double. His vision was blurring.

His head felt dizzy, and he immediately stopped the car by the roadside. He held his forehead, and shook his head hard.

What was wrong with him?

He only had a couple of drinks. That wasn’t enough to knock him out.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past outside his window. The window was smashed hard; the glass shattered to pieces, some of which landed on him.

Sebastian blacked out and slumped against the chair, unable to muster any energy whatsoever. His eyes cracked open, and saw someone opening the car door.

A man was standing outside the same man he met at the bar. The man stretched into the car through the window, and unbuckled Sebastian’s seat belt.

Before Sebastian was completely out, a voice rang in his ear.

“There’s nothing in this world I can’t control, be it hearts or lives! Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.”

His voice changed as he spoke. He spoke in a mature, deep voice at first, but said his last sentence in the voice of a young boy. The tone he spoke in sounded vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it from somewhere before.

Someone who spoke to Rosalie in that same way…

Oh yes, that guy Yerick.

But… Why didn’t this man look like Yerick at all?This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

If he knew how to change his voice, then he probably knew how to change his appearance.

Sebastian tried his best to open his

eyes and teave this place to tell Rosalie that Yerick was a dangerous man. Yet, no matter how hard he tried his brain remained fuzzy and uncontrollable.

He did manage to crack open his eyes, but his eyelids eventually clamped shut as he slumped back weakly.

‘Rose… Is this goodbye…?’ he thought, before finally losing consciousness.

By the time Theodore stepped out of the police station, the sky was turning dark. He shook hands with the lawyer before saying goodbye. “Theo,” Sydney said as she hurried over to him.

She rushed over the moment she received the call, thinking that he needed her to bail him out. To her surprise, she saw him walk out of the station. “Theo, what exactly happened? How did things turn out like this?”

Theodore looked down sluggishly and remained silent, looking despondent, as though he had lost his soul.

Sydney walked up to him and held his arm, gently patting his back.

“What happened? Tell me about it. Don’t worry, your dad and grandma don’t know about this yet. You called me because you trust me. If you don’t tell me anything, how am I going to help you?”

Theodore smiled bitterly. “Mom, no one can help me now.”

“Why do you say so?”

“Because…” Theodore said as he clenched his fists, “Rose wants me in jail.”

He told Sydney about everything that happened.

Upon hearing Theodore out, she fell silent. Things had spiraled out of control, and she had no idea what to say.

Sydney knew the wounds on Theodore’s face must have been from a fight with Sebastian. No wonder they suspected Theodore.

Sebastian got into an accident on the day they had a fight.

Theodore could leave the police station because they didn’t have concrete proof that he was the culprit. However, he couldn’t leave the city of his own accord, and had to cooperate with the police anytime they demanded it.

Sydney looked at the despondent look on Theodore’s face. She took him to her car and drove off, worried something might happen to him if he were left alone.

Chapter 469

Meanwhile, Rosalie had been staying vigil by Sebastian’s bedside.

Christopher stood at the door with his hands in his pockets, staring straight at Rosalie with furrowed brows and an unreadable expression.

After pondering for a moment, he walked in. Seeing him, Rosalie turned around and greeted him.

Christopher nodded. “You’ve been with him for very a long time. Yvonne told me you didn’t even have lunch this afternoon. It’s getting late. I’ll take you out for dinner.”

“It’s alright, I’m not hungry.” Rosalie continued looking at Sebastian, her face etched with worry. She wanted to be by his side.

He would be so scared all alone, unable to move and talk.

“I know you want to accompany him, but not eating or drinking wouldn’t help him in his state right now. Even worse, it’d only make him worry. You should take care of yourself, or Sebastian might blame us for neglecting your health when he wakes up,” Christopher said.

Each time someone mentioned Sebastian waking up, Rosalie would feel a tug at her heart. She wanted to hold onto any sliver of hope, but that alone felt frightening to her.

She wished so badly that he would wake up, but she feared the disappointment if he didn’t.

“Stop forcing yourself. Do you want to starve yourself? There are bodyguards here. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Sebastian is already like this. You must take care of yourself for his sake.”© NôvelDrama.Org – All rights reserved.

Rosalie finally nodded. “Okay.”

Christopher was right. Her not eating or drinking wasn’t going to help things. What’s more, she was pregnant.

She stood up and left the ward with Christopher, her gaze lingering on Sebastian.

Christopher brought her to a restaurant nearby, where he booked a private room. A few solemn-looking bodyguards stood right outside the private room.

Alone with Christopher, Rosalie felt pressured.

He was a serious man, exuding an outstanding aura that belonged to a very important figure. Rosalie guessed that he probably held a very powerful and authoritative position.

Good genes ran in the Jacksons, and every single member blessed with striking good looks. Sebastian’s mother was a beauty, and Christopher stood out with his handsome features.

“Is it just us? Is Vonnie not joining us for dinner?” Rosalie asked.

“She already ate something, and is at the hospital right now. She’s feeling rather low right now with her brother in his current state, so she told us to go ahead and not worry about her,” he explained. Content

Rosalie sighed. “Vonnie’s very close to her brother. She must be very sad right now.”

“They’re siblings, after all.”

Christopher poured Rosalie a cup of hot tea Talking about siblings, she told me a little about your story. She said Theodore Spencer is your ex-husband.”

Rosalie’s heart skipped a beat. She wasn’t worried about others knowing that she was once married, but she wondered if Yvonne revealed her pregnancy.

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, he is.”

She wondered if Christopher would judge her for marrying his nephew not long after divorcing Theodore.

To her surprise, Christopher did nothing of the sort. Instead, he said, “I know him. Tremendously capable despite his young age, a rare talent indeed, SK Enterprise is a multinational corporation that’s thriving under his excellent

management.”

Rosalie smiled. “Yeah.”

Theodore might be lackluster in other aspects, but Rosalie had to admit that he was adept at managing his company.

No one is perfect in this world. Theodore was successful in his business and navigated the commercial world with ease, but when it came to matters of the heart…

Chapter 470

The lost look in Rosalie’s eyes made Christopher chuckle awkwardly as he tried to remain polite. “Pardon me. Are you upset that I’ve mentioned him?”

“No. It’s just that we’re divorced, and I don’t really want to talk about him,” Rosalie said.

Rosalie felt a dull ache in her chest. She hardly talked to others about Theodore, and always avoided talking bad about him behind his back. Yet he kept misunderstanding her, thinking she was going around talking ill about him when she did nothing of the sort.

Even now, she didn’t want to do that.

Christopher nodded. “Alright, let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you. Do you have any siblings?”

Rosalie shook her head. “I’m an only child, with no siblings.”

“Oh, I see. Your parents must dote on you a lot.”

The mention of her parents ached Rosalie’s heart once more. “Yeah. A pity that they passed away very early on.”

If her parents hadn’t died, there would probably have been no chance of Theodore and her meeting. Perhaps all these tragedies wouldn’t have happened.

“How did they pass away?” Christopher asked.

Rosalie recounted her parent’s story to him.

After listening to Rosalie, Christopher remained silent for a while before saying, “I see. It hasn’t been easy for you at all.”

Rosalie smiled bitterly. “The silver lining is that someone adopted me, and gave me a comfortable life and a good education. I’ve always been grateful for that.”

Christopher nodded. “Your parents would be very glad to know you’ve grown up well.”

Rosalie figured that Yvonne didn’t tell Christopher about her pregnancy, given how he didn’t bring it up at all.

They chatted for a while more, talking about how she met Sebastian. When the dishes were served, the two of them began having dinner.

Rosalie didn’t have much appetite,

spite of the mouthwatering food

before her. However, she knew she needed the nutrients for the baby in her womb and forced herself to eat.

Christopher saw Rosalie struggling with eating the food, and asked, “Is the food not to your liking?”

Rosalie shook her head. “No, it’s delicious. I just feel very sad thinking about Seb, and I don’t have much appetite. But I’ll eat more and take care of myself.”

Christopher smiled kindly. “That’s the way. No matter what happens, you must first take care of yourself before you can take care of others and think further and clearer.”

“Have this chicken thigh,” he added, as he offered her a piece of meat.

Rosalie stared at the chicken thigh in her bowl at smelled heavenly, but looked rather greasy. She had no choice but to take a few bites of it, since Christopher had personally served it to her. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Suddenly, she felt nauseous and tried her best to suppress the urge to vomit. She put her utensils down, and said, “Excuse me. I need the washroom.”

Christopher nodded as he watched Rosalie leave the private room.

After a while, his phone rang in his pocket. He pulled it out, and answered it. “Hello?”

“Mr. Johnson, we’ve gathered information about Ms. Young. Do you want it right away?” “Email it to me,” he said.

Very soon, Christopher received an email in his inbox, which he clicked open and found a lot of information about Rosalie in it. That included her birth, her parents, and her marriage. The information more and less matched what she told him.

However, there was a hidden secret regarding her parents.
