Sydney sneered, “After seeing that woman’s true colors, you suddenly discover you love me? Why didn’t you love me all those years before?” “Sydney, I’m slow and an idiot. I’ve realized my mistakes, and I’ll do my best to make it up to you. You’re my only wife,” Wesley said humbly and sincerely.
“I’m still your wife,” Sydney said, “and we’ve been together all these years. What more do you want?”
“I…”
Wesley didn’t know what to say. He feared that if he said too much, Sydney would find him annoying. Although they were still married and often spent the night together, this relationship felt more like two people merely fulfilling each other’s needs.
When they needed each other, they spent the night together; when they didn’t, they ignored each other and pretended to be strangers.
What kind of marriage was this?
Wesley didn’t want to discuss it further, afraid Sydney wouldn’t even give him a little bit of attention.
“By the way, Sydney, someone just called you. He said it was about some official business,” he said.
“You answered my phone?” Sydney demanded coldly.
“You were in the shower, and I was worried you might miss an important call, so I answered it for you. I’m sorry.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Sydney grabbed her phone, and checked her call history-it was from Geoffrey. She hadn’t been able to reach him after he said those strange things to her.
He must have had a hand in getting Rosalie to marry Sebastian. Neither he nor his son were good people.
“Wesley, you can leave now,” she said, shooing Wesley away.
Wesley sighed and got up from the bed. “Alright, I’ll leave. Let’s meet another time.”
This wasn’t even dating, let alone being a married couple.
After tidying up, Wesley left. Sydney closed the door and sat on the bed, then called Geoffrey back.
Soon, Geoffrey answered. “Hello.”
“Geoffrey, why did you call me? What are you up to?” She hadn’t wanted to call back, but was worried he was plotting something behind her back. “I’m not up to anything. I just wanted to tell you something.”
“What?”
“It’s Sebastian. He was attacked, and is in a coma. The doctors are trying to save him. It’s very serious.”
Sydney was taken aback. “Really? Why are you telling me this?”
She had no feelings for Geoffrey’s son. It wasn’t like Theodore was hurt.
“I’m telling you, because

Hearing this, Sydney laughed. “Are you joking? What kind of logic is that? I treat Rose as my daughter, but she’s my former daughter-in-law, not my biological child. She married another man, so how can he be my son-in-law? Don’t be ridiculous!”
To her, Geoffrey was just finding ways to harass her.
“Is that so? It seems I was wrong.” Geoffrey smiled wryly. “I thought you might care about Sebastian because of this relationship.”
“You’re absurd. Why should I care about your son? You and your wife can care for him. I have no interest in outsiders, especially Sebastian. Someone you raised can’t be a good person,” Sydney said flatly.
“Do you have to be so cold-hearted?” Geoffrey snapped angrily. “You haven’t even spent any time with Sebastian! How do you know what kind of person he is?”
“I haven’t spent time with him, but I know what kind of person his father is a cold-blooded, ruthless man who would do anything for money. How could someone raised by you be a good person?”
Geoffrey took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger. “Sydney, I hope you don’t regret what you’ve said someday.”
Sydney scoffed. “Don’t worry, I won’t regret it. I can barely take care of my own son.”
She heard Geoffrey’s breathing getting heavier, indicating how angry he was.
“Goodbye.” Geoffrey hung up the phone.
Sydney sighed. She had heard about Sebastian’s incident from Theodore, but she didn’t understand why Geoffrey told her about it.
She wondered how Rosalie was

After hanging up the phone, Geoffrey lowered his head and closed his eyes in pain. He murmured to himself, “Sydney, Sebastian’s your biological
Chapter 482
The surgery lasted a full six hours. Finally, the doctor came out of the operating theater.
Everyone rushed forward to ask about Sebastian. “Doctor, how is he?”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
The doctor, looking exhausted, took off his mask.
“Earlier, Mr. Carter was in a coma, and his condition was critical. We couldn’t restore blood flow to his brain. Operating on him would have been too risky, and the current medications aren’t effective at all. But this morning, we noticed some activity in his brain. After examining him, we found that blood supply had been unexpectedly restored in his brain. However, this also caused a brain hemorrhage, so we had to remove the hematoma, which is much less risky.”
Rosalie pondered the doctor’s words for a moment before asking, “Now that the blood supply is restored to his brain, does it mean there’s hope for him?”
The doctor nodded. “This is a good sign, and it’s also quite miraculous. We performed a successful brain hematoma removal surgery on him. Now he needs to be taken to the ICU for observation. The next 48 hours are critical. If he can wake up without any severe complications, there’s a chance for recovery.”
Hearing this, Rosalie felt as if a weight was lifted off her chest. Her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Christopher caught her in time. “Are you okay?”
Overwhelmed with emotion, Rosalie grabbed the doctor’s arm. “What are his chances of waking up?”
“Yes,” Geoffrey asked anxiously, “how likely is he to wake up?”
“Previously, there was no way to restore his brain’s blood supply, but a miracle happened, and it was automatically restored. The brain hematoma removal surgery went very well. Theoretically, his chances of waking up are over sixty percent,” the doctor said.
Hearing the answer, Rosalie burst into tears. Sixty percent was much better than slim hope.
The doctor continued, “Although I
can’t guarantee that he’ll wake up, I believe this is a miracle. Mr. Carter’s case is rare in medical history. This is the first time I’ve seen a patient’s brain’s blood supply restore itself in my career. Once he’s stable, we’ll conduct a comprehensive examination to find out the exact reason.”
There must be a reason for his brain’s blood supply restoration. Although miracles did happen, it was better to investigate first to understand the situation.
Just then, Sebastian was wheeled out of the operating room by the medical staff.
“Sebastian!” Rosalie cried.
She rushed forward-she saw him lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She didn’t dare touch him, afraid that she would hurt him since he had just undergone surgery She could only look at him with tears in her eyes.
“Sebastian, you’ll be alright. You must wake up.” Rosalie walked alongside the bed. “Sebastian, I’ll stay with you. I won’t go anywhere. You must wake
up.”
Sebastian was taken to the intensive
care unit. Patients who were taken there were very weak. To prevent infection, family members were not allowed inside. Only the medical staff could enter.
Rosalie stood outside the ICU, her hands pressed against the glass wall as she gazed at the person inside.
Sebastian must be in so much pain with all those needles inserted into him. How much must it hurt?
He shouldn’t have to endure this. It was all her fault! If it weren’t for that incident, he wouldn’t have left in anger.
If… If she had forcibly stopped Sebastian at that time, maybe things wouldn’t have turned out this way, and he wouldn’t have gotten hurt. It was all her fault!
‘Seb, you have to get better. I won’t know what to do otherwise. I’ll feel like I killed you. You have to get better, please! I’m begging you!’ she thought.
Chapter 483
Geoffrey walked over. “Rose, do you want to go home with me? We can’t go in to see Sebastian right now. We can only wait for news.” He could see that Rosalie’s concern for Sebastian was genuine.
Rosalie turned around, and said, “You all go back and rest. I’ll stay at the hospital. Someone needs to be here.”
“Then I’ll stay here. You all go back,” Geoffrey said.
“But I want to stay here with Sebastian. Even if I can’t go in, at least I can watch over him,” Rosalie insisted.
Seeing Rosalie’s determination, Geoffrey nodded. “Alright. Then, I’ll stay too.”
Geoffrey would be restless if he went back, anyway.
“Let her stay here with Sebastian. You can book a hotel near the hospital. If anything happens, you can get here quickly. Staying at the hospital doesn’t make much sense right now, since we can’t go into the ward,” Christopher said.
“Yeah, Mom and Dad,” Yvonne said. “You’ve traveled a long distance. You must be tired. Go and rest first.”
Geoffrey looked exhausted as he nodded. “Alright. Your mom and I will be staying at a hotel nearby. Call us immediately if there’s any news.” “Okay.” Yvonne nodded. “Go and rest.”
The couple then left.
Yvonne looked in Rosalie’s direction. She was still staring intently into the ICU, and didn’t seem likely to leave anytime soon.
Yvonne glanced at Christopher, and whispered, “Uncle, can I talk to you for a second?”
Christopher nodded, and they moved to a quiet area. He instructed the bodyguards not to let anyone near them.
“Uncle, you got my text last night, right? Rose does have a red mark on her back. Is it true? It seems like too much of a coincidence,” she said. Christopher sighed. “Rosalie looks a lot like her mother. Plus, with the red birthmark on her back, she must be.”
Actually, when Christopher first saw
Rosalie and knew she was adopted
by her parents, he was almost
ain. Now, with the red birthmark, there was no doubt. Content

“Should we do a DNA test? I can get Rose’s hair,” Yvonne suggested.
“Your eldest uncle has been gone for so many years, and we don’t know where Rosalie’s biological mother is.”
“That’s true… Oh, wait!” Yvonne suddenly thought of something. “Let’s test your DNA with Rose’s. We can test for gic relatives.”
“There’s no need,” Christopher said. “We’re already sure now, so let’s not waste any more time and effort There aren’t many coincidences in this world. She must be my niece.”
Yvonne slumped onto the sofa. “What do we do now? This means that Rose and Seb are cousins.”
Christopher was also troubled. “Yes.
I never expected things to turn out this way, Had I met her earlier, might have stopped their marriage. Now, it seems they are deeply in love. I’d rather not break up couples.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Uncle…” Yvonne wanted to tell him the truth, but was unsure if she should.
“What’s the matter?” Christopher noticed Yvonne’s hesitation, and knew she was hiding something. “You can tell me anything.”
“I’ll tell you, but you must promise not to tell anyone else. My parents don’t even know about this,” she said.
Chapter 484
Christopher nodded. “No problem. You must also keep what I’ve told you a secret. We’re in this together now.” Yvonne murmured an agreement, then finally said, “Actually, Rose and my brother’s marriage is fake.”
She then recounted everything to Christopher.
After hearing her story, Christopher fell silent. “I didn’t expect that. If they divorce, it shouldn’t be a big issue.”
“It won’t be a big deal for Rose, but it will be for Seb. His feelings for her are real. If he finds out she’s his cousin, he won’t be able to handle it. Given his current condition, even if he wakes up, he’ll need a long recovery period and can’t handle such a shock. Who knows what the consequences will be if we tell him!”
“Yes, this is a difficult situation. Let’s keep this between us and play it by ear,” Christopher said heavily.
“Okay.” Yvonne nodded. “That’s all we can do for now.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She still couldn’t believe that Rosalie was her cousin. Reality was indeed more dramatic than any TV show!
Rosalie stayed at the hospital and didn’t go anywhere. Yvonne stayed with her. After some time, she got tired standing outside the ICU, so Yvonne took her to the rest area.
Yvonne chatted with her for a while. After Rosalie got some rest, she wanted to go back to guard the door.
However, Yvonne stopped her. “Rosalie, let’s go for a walk.”
“But I want to see your brother.”
“You’ve been watching over him long enough. He’s in the ICU; you can’t get close to him. Staring through the glass will only make you more anxious. A walk will help you relax.”
She touched Rosalie’s belly gently. “Your baby would also like a little walk.”
Rosalie nodded. “Okay.”
Yvonne linked arms with Rosalie as they left.
Just as they reached the hospital entrance, they saw medical staff pushing an injured patient inside. doctor was sitting on the moving bed, vigorously performing CPR on the patient, whose face wasa bloody mess.
Rosalie was frightened by the gruesome scene. Yvonne quickly covered her eyes, and pulled her aside.
“That man is seriously injured. I wonder what happened to him,” Rosalie said. He seemed to have been beaten up too.
“Yeah, his wounds look worse than Seb’s,” Yvonne said.
They walked out of the hospital, and strolled around outside for over an hour before returning.
When Rosalie passed by the nurse’s station, she heard a nurse saying, “The injured man who came in today can save seven people with his organs.” “Yes, it’s sad. It seems like he was attacked.”
“The other patient, Mr. Carter, was
also attacked And now, there’s
Fet
another attack victim. Are the number of criminals increasing? even men are getting hurt, women should be more careful. Pay
attention to your surroundings when you’re outside.”
Hearing this, Rosalie remembered the injured man they saw in the lobby. the nurses were referring to him, he must have died, since his organs were already donated.
V
Was that man also attacked? Could the attacker be the same one as Sebastian’s?
Rosalie was heading to Sebastian’s room when Theodore appeared.
Seeing him, Rosalie furrowed her brows. She didn’t want to deal with him, and tried to walk past him. “Wait,” Theodore called out, and blocked her path.
“Hey! What are you doing?” Yvonne stood in front of Rosalie protectively. “What do you want with her?”
Chapter 485
Theodore frowned. “What could I do to her? Eat her?”
“You…” Yvonne was about to retort, but Rosalie tugged at her arm. “Vonnie, ignore him. Let’s go.”
Rosalie pulled Yvonne away, trying to leave.
“I have something to tell you. Can we talk alone?” Theodore said.
“We have nothing to talk about,” Rosalie sneered.
“Just two minutes, right here. We don’t have to go anywhere.”
Theodore stood in front of Rosalie like a mountain, making it clear he wouldn’t let her leave without saying his piece. After thinking for a moment, Rosalie turned to Yvonne. “Vonnie, you go rest for a bit. I’ll look for you once I’m done.” “Rose, do you really want to talk to him?” Yvonne asked, worried.
“It’s fine.” Rosalie gave Theodore a cold look. “I’ll be right here. I won’t go anywhere.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Okay, but just for a couple of minutes! I’ll be waiting for you.” Yvonne shot Theodore a warning glare before leaving.
“Didn’t you say you were transferring Cynthia to another hospital? Why are you still here?” Rosalie asked coldly.
“I was going to transfer her to a hospice, but she didn’t want to leave. She’s going to continue staying here,” Theodore replied. Rosalie found his words amusing. “You really care about her, don’t you? You always give in to her.”
Did he call her over just to tell her how much he cared about Cynthia?
“For someone who is dying, her requests aren’t excessive. So, I agreed. That’s the only reason,” Theodore went on.
Rosalie didn’t understand why Theodore was explaining this to her. It didn’t matter to her anymore. “Sure. Whatever you say.”
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Theodore felt anger surge within him, but he held it back. “I heard about Sebastian. There’s talk all over the hospital about the miracle.”
Rosalie scoffed. “Yes, a miracle for us, but a disaster for you, right? Cynthia wanted Sebastian’s heart. Now, she can forget about it.”
Theodore frowned. “What do you mean, Cindy wanted his heart? It’s not her fault that Sebastian was hurt. His heart just happened to be a match for her! You didn’t agree either, did you?”
Rosalie was tired of arguing. Every
time she said anything bad about Cynthia, Theodore would
immediately defend her; saying
Cynthia was so kind, it wasn’
her
fault and it had nothing to do with her.
“Your two minutes are up. Goodbye.” Rosalie turned to leave. She didn’t even want to talk to Theodore for one second.
She had once loved this man so deeply, but now, she was disappointed in him.
“Cindy’s getting surgery soon,” Theodore said. “A new patient was admitted today. He was declared brain-dead, and his heart matches hers. She’s going to be saved.”
Rosalie thought of the injured man
she saw earlier. She hadn’t expected his heart would also match Cynthia’s Finding a matching heart was rare, and many people never found a match. And yet, suddenly, there were two matches for Cynthia in a ridiculously short time. Content

Rosalie started to feel suspicious. How could Cynthia be so lucky? First, Sebastian’s heart was a match-and now, this person’s heart too.
Sebastian’s heart was a match, but
et
the surgery didn’t happen because Rosalie had stopped it. It was terrifying because right after that, another person was fatally injured, and his heart happened to be a match as well.
Rosalie had a terrifying thought, but dismissed it. How could Cynthia have the ability to do these things?
Unless, of course, someone was helping her.
Chapter 486
Everything was too much of a coincidence, to the extent that she was suspicious. Who else would go to this length to help her besides Theodore? Before, she might have suspected he was the one behind the attack on Sebastian, but that was just her being impetuous. When she calmed down, she thought Theodore wouldn’t do such a thing. He might fight with Sebastian, but he wouldn’t do something so vicious behind his back.
However, both Sebastian and the injured man today had hearts that matched Cynthia’s.
She couldn’t imagine Theodore being such a person, capable of doing something so cruel just to find a suitable heart for Cynthia. However, all of this was just her speculation. She had no evidence.
Theodore looked uneasy. “Why are you looking at me like that? I know you don’t care if Cindy lives or dies. I told you this not because I want to gloat, but because…”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Theodore paused, wanting to say something, but then stopping.
“Because what?” Rosalie asked coldly. She wanted to hear what this man had to say.
After a few seconds of silence, Theodore continued, “If Cindy’s surgery is successful, her health will improve.”
“That’s perfect,” Rosalie said icily. “Then you can marry her.”
Theodore frowned deeply. “Rose, do you really want me to marry her?”
“Isn’t that what you want? You promised her many times, and you even abandoned your wife for her.”
Hearing Rosalie’s words, Theodore felt upset. “What do you mean by abandoned? Didn’t we make it clear from the start? We discussed before getting married. Besides, I thought you…”
“You thought,” Rosalie interrupted. “You’re always making assumptions.”
“I asked you before. I asked if you thought of me as a brother, and you said yes. What else could I do?” Theodore said.
Rosalie clenched her fists. When he
had asked for a divorce and asked if she always saw him as a brother, she was deeply heartbroken. Since he was already asking for a divorce, why should she tell him the truth?
But now, this man was using it against her.
“You’re right. We made things clear when we got married. Now that we’re divorced, there’s nothing to salvage,” she said. She was tired of talking to him.
She tried to leave again, but he blocked her once more. “Do you really want me to marry her?”
“You’re the one who wants to marry her,” Rosalie said, almost shouting. She really wanted to slap this man; he was being completely unreasonable.
“I don’t want to marry her now. I want you! Just say the word, and I’ll do anything you want,” he said.
Even though her actions had
disappointed him, and she even thought that he was behind the attack on Sebastian, he still couldn’t help but want to win her

back especially now that Cynthia would survive.
Thinking about a future without Rosalie and marrying another woman felt suffocating and it was all his own doing.
Rosalie sneered, finding it amusing. “I don’t want you anymore. I’m Sebastian’s wife now. You should face reality and stop bothering me.”
Just then, Yvonne ran over. “Rose! Two minutes are up. Are you okay?”
Rosalie nodded. “I’m fine. Let’s go.”
net
Time was up, so Theodore had no reason to stop her. He could only watch as Rosalie left, feeling powerless. He had asked for the divorce and let her go, and now that he wanted to win her back, he found it impossible.
It seemed like he no longer had the right to ask her to be with him anymore.
Chapter 487
This was the first time 48 hours seemed like a century to Rosalie, and she spent it in agony because she didn’t know what the outcome would be. The only thing she could do was wait.
Every second was agonizing. What frightened her more than the torment of waiting was receiving a terrible result in the end.
If the outcome was destined to be tragic, Rosalie would rather endure the torment of waiting forever than hear an answer that would lead to her despair.
Cynthia’s surgery was also over; her heart transplant was very successful. She didn’t know the donor, but was very aware of how that person died. No one knew how this came to be, except maybe the gods, her, and Yerick.
Rosalie didn’t know that from time to time, Theodore would secretly and silently watch her as she worried and grieved for Sebastian. He could only hide in the shadows, not daring to appear before her, and endure heart-wrenching pain.
He had lost Rosalie by his own doing, and now, he could only hide behind the scenes in such a humble manner. He found himself increasingly laughable; his life was simply a big joke.
Rosalie was sound asleep in the hotel. She was exhausted, and at Yvonne’s urging, she booked a room at a nearby hotel to rest. She didn’t know how long she had slept, when a voice woke her up.
“Rose.”
Rosalie opened her heavy eyelids, and saw Yvonne sitting beside her. Her head hurt slightly.
She propped herself up to sit on the bed. “What is it, Vonnie? Is there any news about Seb?”
Rosalie grabbed Yvonne’s hand, terrified of hearing bad news. She had been on edge waiting for the outcome of the surgery.
“Rose, don’t worry. I just got a call from the hospital saying Seb woke up.” Yvonne was smiling, extremely excited as she spoke. If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have woken Rosalie.
“Really?” Rosalie couldn’t believe it. She worried she might be dreaming, and secretly pinched her arm hard. It hurt; this wasn’t a dream.
“Of course it’s true! I wouldn’t joke about such a thing! Do you want to sleep a bit more before going to see Seb, or…”
“I’ll go now!”
After getting such good news, how could she sleep?
And so, Rosalie and Yvonne hurried to the hospital.
When they arrived at Sebastian’s ward, Rosalie saw his parents Christopher standing outside.

“But what?” Rosalie asked. “Why are you all standing here?”
At that moment, an anxious voice came from the ward. “Rose, where are you?”
Hearing Sebastian calling her, Rosalie immediately opened the door and went in. “Seb, I’m here!”
She rushed to his bedside and sat in the chair next to him.
“Rose!” Sebastian was very emotional as he reached for her hand.

Rosalie tried to tell herself not to get too emotional. Sebastian had just woken up, and if she became too emotional, it would affect him. But no matter how hard she tried to control herself, tears kept streaming down her face.
She was simply so happy-a miracle had happened! Fortunately, she had persisted with her choice and held on to that slim hope.
“Rose, I’m just glad you’re okay. I had such a long dream. I dreamt someone was trying to hurt you. I desperately wanted to warn you, but I couldn’t wake up. I was hanging on the edge of hell, and someone was trying to drag me down, but…but I didn’t want to go. I fought desperately to climb up because I heard you calling my name,” Sebastian said.
Even though Sebastian had woken up, he was still full of panic when he said all these.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Seeing him like this, Rosalie felt heartbroken. She couldn’t imagine how much he had suffered while he was in a coma. Perhaps, as Yvonne had said, comatose people could hear what was happening around them but couldn’t respond, making it all the more painful.
“Seb, I’m perfectly fine. I’m all good, not a scratch. You don’t need to worry about me,” Rosalie said, gently stroking his face. “You’ll be fine, too. I’ll stay by your side.”
Sebastian looked at her tenderly. “You’re my wife. It’s my duty to protect you.”
Yvonne walked in. “Brother…?”
She knew Sebastian would want to be alone with Rosalie, but she couldn’t help herself. She walked in, tears in her eyes.
Sebastian looked at Yvonne with confusion. “What did you call me?”
Yvonne looked puzzled. “Brother. What else would I call you? Father?”
Sebastian stared at Yvonne, perplexed. “Are you…my sister?”
Hearing Sebastian’s doubtful tone, Rosalie felt uneasy. “Seb, she’s Yvonne, your sister. Don’t you remember her?”
Sebastian’s eyes were filled with
e unfamiliarity as he looked at Yvonne, like he was looking at a complete stranger. At this moment, a few others walked in from outside.
Sebastian looked at them as if they were strangers too. He seemed somewhat frightened, and gripped Rosalie’s hand tightly. “Rose, they said they’re my family. Is that true?”
The way that Sebastian was looking at her clearly indicated that he only trusted her words now.
Rosalie became anxious. “Seb, don’t you remember them? They’re your parents, and this is your uncle. And this is your sister, Yvonne.”
Sebastian frowned, and suddenly felt a headache. He shook his head. “I don’t remember. I don’t feel well.”
“Rosalie, can you come out for a moment? I need to talk to you,” Christopher said.
Rosalie turned to look at Christopher, then nodded. She said to Sebastian, “Seb, I’ll step out for a bit and be right back.”
“Hurry back. I’ll wait for you,” he said, his eyes filled with unease, like a lost child.
Rosalie was extremely worried. She carefully released Sebastian’s hand, not daring to pull away too quickly for fear of startling him. Then she stood up, tucked him in, and deft the ward.
Outside, she asked anxiously, “What’s going on?”
It seemed they all knew something, but only she and Yvonne were unaware, possibly because they had arrived later.

“When Sebastian first woke up, he kept calling your name, but he didn’t recognize us. The doctor said that his brain injury, coupled with the surgery, most probably resulted in memory loss,” Geoffrey said.
Rosalie was shocked. “Does that mean he has amnesia now?”
Geoffrey continued, “It appears he doesn’t remember us, but he still remembers you. The doctor said this situation is rare. The brain has an emergency backup file filled with information that is most important to that person.
“Sebastian seems to have stored you in his most important file, so when his original memory was compromised, the backup took over. Sebastian didn’t forget you because you’re the most important thing to him. He woke up calling your name.”
Rosalie turned to look at Sebastian in the ward, his anxious and distressed expression tugging at her heart. She couldn’t believe that Sebastian had ended up like this.
“Did the doctor say if he can regain his memory?” Rosalie asked.
“The doctor couldn’t be certain. The human brain is very complex, and can sometimes produce unexpected results. But don’t worry, we should focus on the present. We can help Sebastian regain his memory slowly, or he can get to know us again. The important thing is that his life was saved,” Christopher said.
Christopher’s words comforted Rosalie.
Indeed, the fact that Sebastian was awake was more important than anything. The lost memories could be recovered over time; it wasn’t the most urgent issue. After all, his family was here, and he could get to know them again.
What stunned Rosalie was that Sebastian had forgotten everyone but her. She had become more important to him than his parents and sister. Rosalie couldn’t understand why she was so significant to him, especially since they had only known each other for a short time. On the other hand, he had forgotten people he had known for over twenty years.
Moreover, she felt responsible for his current state.
Yvonne glanced at Christopher with a worried look.
“Rose? Rose, are you done? Are you still there?” Sebastian called out apprehensively from the ward.
Rosalie had only been out of the ward for less than three minutes, but he was already panicking.
“I’m here.” Rosalie quickly went back into the ward, followed by the others.
“Rose.” Sebastian reached out to her.
Rosalie immediately grasped his hand. “Seb, I’m here. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you.”
Sebastian looked restlessly at the people behind Rosalie. They seemed to be giving him a lot of pressure. He whispered to her, “I don’t want to see them. Can you ask them to leave? I only want to be with you.”
“Seb, they’re your family. They care about you very much. You just don’t remember them now. I’m sure you’ll recall everything eventually,” Rosalie reassured him.
“But I can’t remember right now. Can they leave for now?”
To Sebastian, at that moment, they were all strangers. A group of strangers staring at him made him extremely uneasy, especially since he had just woken up. Besides Rosalie, the entire world felt
unfamiliar to him. Content belongs
Hearing this, Yvonne said, “Dad, Mom, Uncle, let’s go out for now. Rose can stay with my brother.”
Everyone had underestimated Rosalie’s place in Sebastian’s heart. Even in a life-or-death situation, all he remembered was Rosalie.
Chapter 490
Geoffrey sighed and nodded. “Alright, we’ll go out for now.”
Everyone left the ward, closing the door behind them. Only Rosalie and Sebastian were left.
“Sebastian, they’ve all left. Do you feel better now?”
Rosalie could sense Sebastian’s unease. They were his family members, but he couldn’t remember them. It was truly pitiable.
Sebastian nodded. “I feel better. I’m sorry, Rose. I can’t remember them. Seeing them gives me pressure. Was I not on good terms with them before?”
“Not really. Although your father is strict with you, you have a good relationship with your sister. Do you feel uncomfortable seeing her too?” Rosalie said.
“I don’t know. Whenever I think of them, I get a headache. It seems like my brain is trying very hard to remember, but it’s not working,” Sebastian replied.
Seeing Sebastian’s discomfort, Rosalie quickly said, “If it makes you uncomfortable, don’t force it. Just focus on resting and recovering. Do you know that it’s already a miracle that you woke up? I believe your guardian angels are watching over you. You’ll overcome all difficulties and remember your family.”
Sebastian gazed at Rosalie tenderly.
“I also believe my guardian angels are watching over me. Why else would I remember my wife?” His eyes were filled with love. “I’m already very happy I remember you. Nothing else matters.”
“Sebastian, I can’t be the only person you know. Your family cares about you very much, but there’s no rush. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t think about them. Just focus on resting and take it slow,” Rosalie said gently.
Rosalie knew that forcing him to remember his family wouldn’t help. He had been through so much in such a short time, and almost died. Him surviving was already a miracle, and she would support him no matter what he wanted to do.
Sebastian nodded. “Okay. But Rose, I don’t remember everything about us, either.”
Rosalie asked, “What do you remember?”
Sebastian thought for a moment.

“When I first woke up, it seemed like you were the only one in my mind. I know I have a wife named Rose who’s very important to me, but can’t remember the specific things that happened between us. It’s very vague. But…”
Sebastian placed his hand over his heart.
“But I still feel it. There’s pain, happiness, anger, and bliss. So, I know you must be very important to me.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Rosalie gently patted the back of his hand. “You’re also very important to me. Thank you for remembering me.”
Sebastian said with a chuckle, “Rose,
ve
you’re my wife. Since you chose me, I’ll finitely treat you well. You won’t regret marrying me. We’ll live happily ever after. I’ll never do anything to make you sad. Although I’ve forgotten many things between us, there’s one thing I remember clearly: you’re the most important person to me.”
Rosalie was stunned by Sebastian’s words. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
It seemed Sebastian truly believed she was his real wife. He had forgotten that their marriage was fake.
Rosalie asked worriedly, “Seb… Do you remember how we got married?”
