Chapter 491
Sebastian asked eagerly, “Did I propose to you? Can you tell me if it was a romantic scene?” After some thought, Rosalie said, “Yes, it was very romantic.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
It seemed like Sebastian had truly forgotten.
“That’s good. Rose, the fact that you chose to marry me means you love me very much, right?”
He gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. Every action of his was filled with affection.
Rosalie suddenly felt nervous. The situation was spiraling out of control. Sebastian had lost a part of his memory, leading him to believe that their marriage was based on love.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Rosalie in a daze, Sebastian grew anxious. “Did I say something wrong? Don’t you love me?”
He grew increasingly panicked. “Rose, tell me the truth. What is going on?”
“Ugh!” Sebastian suddenly groaned, clutching his head and turning to the side in pain.
“Seb, what’s wrong? How are you feeling? Do you have a headache?” Rosalie asked urgently.
The heart rate monitor suddenly started to beep.
Seeing the numbers on the screen turn red and lights start flashing, Rosalie immediately turned around and shouted, “Doctor!”
The doctor arrived soon enough, and
started treating Sebastian. Rosalie
could only leave the ward anxiously outside. Content
A few minutes later, the doctor came out.
“Doctor, how is he? Is he okay?” Rosalie couldn’t bear the thought of something happening to Sebastian again.
Everyone gathered around.
“He just had brain surgery two days
ago and has just woken up, so he can’t get emotional. We have

stabilize him for now and there are no major issues, but it’s best if you didn’t agitate him. In his current condition, being emotional will affect his brain negatively,” the doctor said.
Rosalie nodded. “I understand.”
It was likely that Sebastian sensed that something was amiss, and got emotional after seeing her in a daze.
The doctor had administered medication with sedatives, and Sebastian fell back to sleep.
Knowing that Sebastian needed her, Rosalie mentioned her intentions to stay at the hospital to accompany him to the Carters.
Since he no longer recognized his
parents and sister, their presence
el
here wasn’t very meaningful and could easily agitate him. Thus, they had to leave the hospital.
Before they did, they reminded Rosalie to call them immediately if anything happened.
Once everyone had left, Rosalie returned to the ward and sat on the sofa, keeping Sebastian company.

“I’ve already asked the authorities to expedite the investigation, but we still don’t have any leads. A lot of the surveillance footage wasn’t retrievable. We don’t even know where your brother went,” Christopher said.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – All rights reserved.
Yvonne was stunned. “So the surveillance footage was deliberately destroyed? Who could have such capability?”
Christopher nodded. “Yes, this person must be quite powerful to destroy all evidence.”
“Could it be Rose’s ex-husband?” Yvonne asked. “He’s been bothering Rosalie for some time now, and had multiple fights with Seb. Was he the one who deliberately harmed Seb? If he wanted to do this, he certainly could! Someone like him could definitely mobilize some forces to help him.” Christopher frowned, and mused for a moment before saying, “He has a mistress who’s seriously ill and needs a heart transplant. Coincidentally, Sebastian’s heart was a match, but the surgery didn’t succeed. Soon after, another suitable heart became available.”
“Yeah, that’s right!” Yvonne agreed. “He has a motive. One, he wanted to get rid of Seb, and two, Seb’s heart matched his mistress’s. When the attempt failed, he ended up harming someone else to save his mistress.”
Everything pointed to Theodore. Moreover, he had the ability to do such things, unlike ordinary crooks.
“While this makes sense, we can’t convict him without evidence. We need proof,” Christopher said.
“Then we need to find evidence, Uncle!” Yvonne said. “If he did it, there must be a trace. We can’t let the culprit go free!”
Christopher thought for a moment. “Although the situation is complicated, I’ll never let the one who harmed Sebastian go unpunished.”
Sebastian had a dream where someone was trying to harm Rosalie. However, the scene was blurry, and he couldn’t make out the person’s face. The voices were distorted and sharp, piercing his eardrum like a needle.
“Rose, Rose!” Sebastian repeatedly called her name in his sleep.
Rosalie, who was napping on the sofa, heard Sebastian calling here name and opened her eyes. When she saw him in distress, she quickly got up from the sofa and went to his bedside.
“Sebastian, wake up.” She held his hand tightly.
Sebastian’s eyes flew open, and upon seeing Rosalie beside him, he immediately tried to sit up.
“Don’t move.” Rosalie pressed him down. “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid. They’re not real. Look at me, I’m fine.” Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief. “Rose, I dreamed someone was trying to harm you, but now I can’t remember anything.”
“Look, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I? Don’t worry, dreams are usually the opposite of reality,” Rosalie said hurriedly.
“I must have forgotten something important. I need to remember it; otherwise, you might be in danger.”
Seeing Sebastian so worried, Rosalie thought of something and asked, “Seb, do you still remember how you got injured?”
“I…” Sebastian closed his eyes, trying hard to recall, but he couldn’t remember anything. He shook his head. “No, I don’t.”
Rosalie couldn’t bear to see
Sebastian struggling in pain trying to
remember things, so she said quickly, “If you can’t remember, don’t forçe it. Just relax and rest. We can take our time to figure it out later.”
“No, I can’t take my time,” Sebastian said nervously. “I need to rener who tried to harm you quickly. It’s I can’t forget!”

Chapter 493
Seeing Sebastian get increasingly agitated, Rosalie remembered the doctor’s advice and said, “Seb, please don’t act like this. I’m begging you.” “No, Rose. I can’t allow you to be harmed. I need to remember what happened.”
But each time he tried to recall, his headache would become unbearable.
“Seb.” Rosalie embraced him, holding him close and caressing his face.
“It’s okay. Don’t think about it. The most important thing right now is for you to focus on your recovery. You can think about it later when you’re better.
“Look, there are so many bodyguards outside protecting us. I’m not in any danger. You’ve just woken up. If something happens to you now, what would I do? For my sake, please stop thinking about it, okay?”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The warmth of her body calmed the agitated Sebastian significantly. In her embrace, he was as docile as a kitten, and he slowly closed his eyes.
A wave of fatigue overcame him; he wrapped his arms around Rosalie’s waist, holding her affectionately.
Rosalie furrowed her brow slightly, instinctively wanting to pull away, but considering Sebastian’s current state, she stayed still and continued holding him quietly.
Sebastian eventually calmed down, and his headache subsided.
“Honey,” Sebastian suddenly called out.
Rosalie was stunned, and stared at him. He actually called her “honey”?
She couldn’t get used to the term of address. They were technically in a fake marriage, but with Sebastian’s condition, he genuinely saw her as his wife. She could only go along with it for now.
Once he recovered, she would explain everything to him, but for now, she would accommodate him.
When Rosalie didn’t respond, Sebastian lifted his head and called out again, “Honey?”
Rosalie forced a smile and lowered her head, softly responding, “Yes? What is it?”
Sebastian, looking like a child in her arms, asked anxiously, “I’ve forgotten so many things. Would you hate me for it?”
Rosalie was both amused and heartbroken. Gently pinching his nose, she said, “You’re acting like a child. Why would I hate you? You’re still you.”
“But I’ve forgotten almost everything, even our story. I’m afraid one day you’ll start to hate me.” Sebastian choked up, resembling a child with no sense of security.
“I won’t. Sebastian, you’re the last person I would hate in this world It’s okay if you’ve forgotten our story. We have plenty of time to create new stories together,” Rosalie said gently.
After all, Sebastian had both good and bad memories about her. Forgetting the unhappy moments might actually be a good thing for him.
Sebastian looked up at her with starry eyes. “Will you stay with me forever and create new stories together?”
The promise of “forever” was
incredibly heavy, and Rosalie wasn’t sure how to guarantee it. But given Sebastian’s current condition she couldn’t possibly tell him the truth.
Without skipping a beat, she replied, “Seb, I’ll create new stories with you forever.”
After Sebastian recovered, she
would tell him the truth about their
fake marriage. Even so, she would
still be good friends with him. They would certainly create stories
together as friends.
Sebastian finally smiled contentedly. “Thank you.”
He gently held the back of Rosalie’s head, pulling her head down for a kiss on her lips, before quickly withdrawing and leaning back into her embrace.
Chapter 494
Rosalie was stunned, as if a bomb had exploded in her head.
The warmth of Sebastian’s kiss still lingered on her lips, leaving her at a loss for what to do.
He had kissed her so suddenly. However, seeing how satisfied and happy he was as he lay in her embrace, like a child who had just eaten candy, she couldn’t bring herself to blame him.
It wasn’t Sebastian’s fault. After all, he truly saw her as his wife, and it was normal for a husband to kiss his wife. If she reacted too strongly, it would surely upset him.
Rosalie glanced at the time, and lowered her head. “Seb, you must be hungry. I’ll get you something to eat. What would you like?”
Sebastian thought for a moment, and replied, “I don’t remember what I like to eat, but I love whatever you prepare for me.” He smiled like a golden retriever.
Rosalie nodded. “Then whatever I bring you later, you must eat it all and not be picky, okay?”
She spoke to Sebastian like a gentle mother speaking to her child.
Sebastian nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Rosalie tucked Sebastian in and said, “Then I’ll go now. I’ll be back soon.”
Sebastian held onto her hand, reluctant to let her go. “I’ll wait for you.”
Rosalie gently pulled her hand away, and turned to leave.
Sebastian suddenly called out to her, “Honey.”
Rosalie turned around. “What is it?”
Sebastian smiled. “Nothing. I just wanted to call you that. It feels like we’ve missed out on so much. I don’t want to be apart from you even for a second.”
Rosalie smiled tenderly. “I’ll be back soon.”
After Rosalie left the ward, she gave some instructions to the bodyguards at the door.
Sebastian stared at the closed door,
suddenly feeling a deep sense of emptiness and loneliness. He looked around at the unfamiliar
J.nt
surroundings, feeling as if he had fallen into an igloo-cold and
isolated.
His mind was blank. Besides Rosalie, he couldn’t remember anything. There was only her in his world.
Less than a minute after Rosalie left, Sebastian felt like crying.
No, he couldn’t cry.
He stubbornly wiped away the tears from his eyes. A brave man shouldn’t cry! Rosalie would be back soon, and he wasn’t afraid at all.
As soon as Rosalie arrived at the hospital entrance, a tall and thin figure suddenly jumped out in front of her. “Hi!”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Rosalie was startled, taking several steps back and almost falling.
Yerick quickly caught her. “Are you okay?”
Rosalie steadied herself, and
thumped him lightly on his shoulder.
She was rather annoyed. “You scared me half to death! Why did you suddenly jump out and frighten me?”
Yerick sheepishly scratched his head. “Sorry! I’m just too happy to see you. I wanted to give you a surprise.”
“A surprise? More like a scare.” Rosalie shook her head helplessly. “I’ll let it go this time, since I see you as my brother. If not, I’d have to hit you.”
Yerick grinned like a child. “Thanks! I won’t scare you like that again. Where are you going?”
“I’m going to get some food. By the way, what are you doing here?”
“I came to see you. I’ve been worried about you, so I couldn’t help but come to check on you,” Yerick said.
Seeing Yerick’s concerned
expression, Rosalie was touched
“Don’t worry, I’m fine now. Sebastian
has woken up, and everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.”
Chapter 495
“Really? He’s awake?” Yerick asked excitedly. “That’s great! Now you won’t be sad anymore. I’m so happy!”
He opened his arms. “Can I have a hug?”
“Alright, now.” Rosalie lifted her hand and patted his head. “A hug? It’s broad daylight, and I’m a married woman.”
“So what? I’m your brother,” Yerick grumbled.
“Well, you’re still an adult man.”
Yerick grinned happily.
“Why are you grinning like that?”
“You said I’m a grown man. I’m so happy! It means I’m not a kid anymore,” Yerick said.
“Yes, you’re not a child anymore. You’re a little genius,” Rosalie said, giving him a thumbs-up.
“Now that I know you’re okay, I’m relieved. I’ll leave now so I don’t disturb you. We should have a meal together next time. We still haven’t had that meal we talked about,” he said.
“I’ll treat you to a meal once this busy period is over,” Rosalie said.
“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. Bye!” Yerick waved goodbye.
Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly doubled over, clutching his stomach and letting out a low groan.
Rosalie’s heart skipped a beat. She hurried forward to support him. “Yerick, what’s wrong?”
Yerick was sweating profusely, and looked very pale. “I… I’m in so much pain.”
“I’ll take you to see a doctor!”
“It’s okay, I can go by myself. You go ahead with your plans. You said you were going to get food, so you probably haven’t eaten yet. Don’t worry about me.”
“Ah!” He cried out in pain, collapsing on the ground with a thud. Rosalie couldn’t catch him in time.
Yerick writhed on the ground, cold sweat pouring out.
Rosalie was frantic. “Yerick!”
She ran up to Yerick; she lifted him
him
from the floor with all her strength, then draped his arm over her shoulder. “Yerick, I’m taking you to the doctor. Hang in there!,”
Yerick was in so much pain he couldn’t speak, only relying on Rosalie to support him as they staggered into the hospital.
Yerick was rushed into the
emergency room. After examining
him, the emergency doctor

Medical staff quickly wheeled Yerick’s bed toward the operating room.
Yerick was in such agony that he
almost fainted. As he opened hisz blurred eyes, he saw Rosalie hurrying alongside his bed. She looked so beautiful, even when she was anxious.
“Miss Rosalie…” He reached out his hand toward her.
“Yerick.” Rosalie held his hand. “Don’t worry, the doctors will take care of you.”
“Please don’t leave. I’m scared. I’m really scared.” He was truly frightened. He hadn’t felt this way in years.
“I won’t leave. I’ll wait for you outside the operating room. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Miss, you can’t go any further. You have to stay out here.” The doctor blocked her path.
Rosalie stopped at the red line, watching as Yerick was pushed into the operating room. She could only sit on the chair outside and wait anxiously. Rosalie wasn’t sure how long the surgery would take. She suddenly remembered she still needed to get food for Sebastian, but she couldn’t leave the operating room now.
She had promised Yerick she would wait here. What if she left and Yerick didn’t see her when he came out?
Rosalie thought for a moment, and took out her phone to call the bodyguards. When she turned on her phone, she saw a low battery warning.
She had been so concerned about Sebastian, she hadn’t charged her phone.
Rosalie used the last bit of battery to make a call to the bodyguards. As soon as she hung up, her phone died.
Chapter 496
To Sebastian, every minute and every second without Rosalie by his side was a torture, and he would count the seconds till he would see her again. Finally, the door to the ward was opened. Sebastian felt a surge of joy in his heart, thinking it must be Rosalie. He turned his head, looking glad, but saw his bodyguard coming in with food instead.
His face fell immediately.
“Mr. Carter, this is food we bought for you. Let me serve it to you.”
There was a foldable table by the side of the bed which could be opened up with just the press of a button. The table opened up flat on the bed, so patients could eat on it.
“Where’s Rose? Why did you come in?” he asked.
The bodyguard explained, “Mrs. Carter said she had something to attend to and can’t come, so she asked me to prepare some food for you to eat. She wants you to rest well after the food. She’ll rush over once she’s done.”
“What is she busy with?” Sebastian pressed further. “Where is she right now?”
The bodyguard shook his head. “I don’t know, either. When I received Mrs. Carter’s call, she only told me to take care of you and that she would come once she’s done.”
Sebastian felt around his bed anxiously, as if trying to find something.
At once, the bodyguard asked, “Mr. Carter, what do you need?”
“Phone, give me my phone. I need to call her!”
“Oh, okay.” The bodyguard pulled out his phone from his pocket, scrolled to Rosalie’s number, and called it before handing it to Sebastian. However, all he heard was the automated voice.
“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
Sebastian started panting heavily. He flung the phone aside, gripped the sheets, and said in a trembling voice, “Rose doesn’t want me anymore! She’s run away. She looks down on me.”
The bodyguard immediately put the phone back in his pocket and comforted Sebastian.
“Mr. Carter, please don’t think that way. Mrs. Carter cares for you very much. I’m sure she has something urgent to attend to, which is why she can’t come. Don’t worry, she’ll be back very soon to see you.”
“She won’t come. Her phone is switched off, and she did it deliberately. She doesn’t want me anymore. I’m sure it’s because she despises me for losing my memory and not remembering anything!” Sebastian said in a panic.

However, he really felt scared without her by his side.
It felt as though they were the only two people left in
Chapter 497
Rosalie waited outside the operating theater until it was nine at night.
The doors to the theater finally opened after five arduous hours of surgery drew to a close.
When the doctor came out, Rosalie rushed forward and asked, “Doctor, how is he?”
“The patient’s appendix ruptured. Given his condition, we couldn’t do laparoscopy surgery and had to operate on him by the traditional method of open gastric surgery. When we did so, we found gastrointestinal perforations and adhesions, but the operation was a success. He needs a lot of rest and recuperation to prevent infection,” the doctor explained.
“This means he’ll recover, right?”
The doctor nodded. “Yes, he will. Make sure he gets lots of rest and he’ll recover.”
Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief. “Got it. Thanks, Doctor.”
Yerick was pushed out of the theater. He was still unconscious from the anesthesia, and Rosalie followed him back to the ward.
Yerick needed someone to take care of him, but Rosalie couldn’t keep staying with him. She had to go to Sebastian. She didn’t have the number of anyone in Yerick’s family, so she could only call for a nurse in the hospital to take care of him and cover the costs for it.
It was already very late, and Yerick would only wake up the next day. When the nurse arrived at his ward, Rosalie reminded her to take good care of Yerick before heading straight to Sebastian’s ward.
Sebastian was in the VIP ward upstairs. Rosalie stood at the lift lobby for a long time, anxious to go to Sebastian as soon as she could. She decided to take the stairs, since it was only three flights up.
She didn’t expect herself to be panting heavily after just one flight. She went out of breath, almost dizzy.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, her knees when weak and she fell backward. She instinctively grabbed the handrail, but missed.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She landed in a warm embrace, and heaved a sigh of relief when she felt the warmth of a body right behind her. Thankfully, she didn’t fall smack on the ground, or the consequences would have been dire.
“Thank you,” Rosalie said as she stood up and turned around to thank the person who caught her.
When she turned around and got a good look at who it was, she jumped back in fright. “Theo! What are you doing here?”
“Cindy’s in this hospital too. Is it strange for me to be here?” Theodore said indifferently.
Rosalie was surprised. It wasn’t
strange to see him in this hospital, but why did she bump into him in the stairwell? What’s more, he caught her at the very moment she fell

She had a feeling this man was stalking her. She had this nagging feeling someone was looking at her all the way here. Could it be him?
However, she calmed herself down. “Whatever it is, thank you.”
He saved their baby.
Rosalie turned around, and continued walking upstairs. Theodore followed her.
She turned around and asked, “Why are you following me?”
“Do you own this stairwell? Can’t I go upstairs too?” Theodore shot back.
Rosalie couldn’t do anything about、 it. She couldn’t possibly stop him from taking the stairs. This time, she held the handrail tight and walked up the stairs step by step very carefully.
Theodore saw how strenuous it was for her, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you ill? You should see a doctor.”
“None of your business.”
“It is none of my business, but it looks like it’s none of your business too. You don’t care about your body at all.”
Rosalie stopped, and turned around

this world, and they only had each other to depend on.
Chapter 498
“Oh, is that so? Seems like Sebastian doesn’t care much about you. He’s not even bothering to bring you to the doctor for a check-up and see what’s wrong. You always look so weak and frail each time I see you, as if something is sapping all your energy,” Theodore said.
Rosalie ignored him, and continued walking upstairs.
Despite that, Theodore went on, “I’m serious. Something seems wrong with you. You clearly look weak, but you also put on weight. You really should go for a thorough check-up.”
If they were still married, he would have many reasons to bring her for a health check-up. However, they were now divorced. He couldn’t force her, no matter how much he wanted to.
Rosalie felt a little guilty. She was now slightly past three months pregnant and it was normal for her to put on some weight, but she was worried that Theodore would be suspicious.
So she said, “Is that so? I weighed myself yesterday and lost a couple of pounds. Maybe I’m bloated.”
Theodore found it even more suspicious that Rosalie was explaining things so seriously to him. “Is that so? You’re still in the mood to weigh yourself while Sebastian is in this state?”
“There’s a weighing machine in the hospital, and I just used it. Is there a problem? Must I do everything in accordance with your logic, Mr. Spencer?” she shot back. She subconsciously raised her voice.
“Rosalie Young, do you realize that you’ve become agitated? What are you trying to hide?” Theodore pressed.
He really wanted to know the truth. He wished he could haul this woman back home and interrogate her thoroughly.
He had many ways to snatch her back, and get everything he wanted.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
However, he knew that it would only deepen the hurt he caused her. He didn’t dare to do anything right now, for fear she would only grow to hate him
even more.
Rosalie tried to suppress the guilt inside her.

With a smile, she said, “That’s right, I’m hiding something. Seb treats me so well, I feel so happy with him. I simply gained weight because I’m happy was afraid you might mad if I said that, so I’m trying to hide it.”
Theodore’s eyes dimmed. “Rosalie Young, tell me one thing.”
Rosalie sneered at his commanding tone. “Why must I?”
“When was the first time you slept with Sebastian?”
He didn’t care whether Rosalie wanted to answer him or not. He simply posed his question and left it hanging.
Rosalie furrowed her brows. “Are you crazy? Asking this sort of question!”
“Why not? We are all grown adults.”
Since Rosalie was married to Sebastian, they must have slept with each other. Theodore really wanted to know when she first slept with Sebastian, whether it was after they were divorced or when they were still married. If it was the latter, it meant Rosalie had been unfaithful.
Either way, he knew his heart would break.
Sometimes, he would have
nightmares about Rosalie lying under Sebastian, immersed in burning passion. He would wake up screaming, and be tortured the
entire night by feelings of anxiety
and hopelessness. Content belongs
“I don’t want to answer such a pointless question. Please leave me alone,” Rosalie spat.
She looked rather agitated and in a rush to go upstairs. She was in a fluster, so much that she missed a step. Had Theodore not grab her from behind, she would have fallen.
“Are you sure you want me to leave you alone? You can’t even go up the stairs after marrying Sebastian. I don’t see any good he’s done for you after marriage,” Theodore said.
Chapter 499
Theodore sounded slightly angry. If he hadn’t followed Rosalie, she would have fallen in the stairwell and no one would have known. “Theodore Spencer, Sebastian always carries me up the stairs. He was the one who spoiled me. Let me go!” Rosalie snarled.
His breath felt hot against her cheek, and the achingly familiar scent made her very upset. She disliked, even hated, this man-but she knew this hatred was mixed with love buried deep in her heart. It caused her inexplicable pain that made her instinctively want to stay far away from him and the pain he brought her.
Suddenly, Theodore hauled her up in his arms.
“What are you doing?” Rosalie wrapped her arms around his neck, for fear that she might fall. Once she realized what she was doing, she immediately retracted her arms. “Let me down!”
“Didn’t you say that Sebastian always carries you upstairs? I’ll carry you upstairs right now. Don’t ever say that your ex-husband never carried you upstairs!”
For some reason, Theodore insisted on comparing himself to Sebastian.
He carried Rosalie all the way up in one breath until they reached the corridor on the VIP floor, where he finally put her down. The moment Rosalie left his arms, she immediately kept her distance from him as if he was a monstrous beast that would hurt her.
Theodore stared at Rosalie in a daze, his eyes looking slightly teary. “Are you really that happy with Sebastian?” Rosalie clenched her fists. “Yes, much more than when I was with you.”
At least Sebastian had never hurt her, and had always been considerate to her in all things.
Theodore chuckled helplessly. “Great.”
He turned to leave, and disappeared down the corridor.
Pain surged in Rosalie’s heart as she looked at his retreating figure. She reached out to caress her belly.
“Baby, I’m sorry for pushing Daddy away. I had wanted so badly for us three to be together, but it’s too late now. Daddy and I are always missing out on each other… It’s always a case of wrong timing for us.”
Rosalie composed herself as she arrived at the door of Sebastian’s ward.
Before she headed in, she asked the bodyguard, “How is he? Did he eat?”
The bodyguard nodded. “Mr. Carter finished all the food, but he was very worried not knowing where you went.”
Rosalie nodded. “Alright, I got it.”
She thought Sebastian had fallen asleep, so she walked in very carefully, sneaking in like a thief.
The moment she stepped in, she heard a sullen voice saying, “You finally came back.”
Rosalie jumped back in fright, feeling like a kid getting caught by her parents for coming home late.
She shut the door, and walked to Sebastian’s bedside. “Seb, I’m. Something cropped up,

Sebastian ignored her, and turned his face away spitefully.
Rosalie pulled a chair over, and held his hand. “Seb.” Sebastian retracted his hand immediately.
He was really mad. He had waited for so long, and became so anxious to the point of tears. His pillow as soaked with his tears and he had to secretly wipe it dry many times.
Rosalie shook his arm gently. “Seb, don’t be mad, alright? It’s not good for your health.”
Sebastian continued ignoring her, pulling the sheets above his head and throwing a tantrum like a child.
Rosalie found it both hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time.
“I’m sorry, Seb One of my friends had a ruptured appendix, and his life was in danger. He was sent to the hospital, and since his family

members weren’t around, I had to wait till his operation was over. It took five hours. I rushed here right after it ended.”
Chapter 500
Rosalie explained the situation patiently and in all seriousness to him, seeking his forgiveness. She knew Sebastian would definitely be upset, having promised him she would return very soon, but ended up making him wait for so long.
He had lost his memory, and she was the only person he remembered. The wait must have been torturous to him, making him feel as though he were abandoned.
Sebastian peeked his face out from the sheets. “What friend? Male or female?”
Rosalie chuckled helplessly. Did he lose his memory, or was he just jealous?
“Don’t worry. He’s just an 18-year-old boy,” she said.
“Is that so? How did you get to know him? You care so much about him.”
“We live in the same district. Don’t worry, there’s nothing between us. We’re just friends. I see him as a brother, and he treats me like a sister. I couldn’t just ignore about him when something like that happened to him. Don’t pick a fight with me over this, okay?”
Sebastian pouted like a child, clearly still angry. However, seeing Rosalie apologizing so sincerely to him softened his stance. He couldn’t bear to keep blaming her.
At the next moment, he looked pitifully at her. “Fine. I’ll forgive you just this once. Don’t do it again, or at least tell me about it. I waited so long for you, I thought you abandoned me.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Sebastian spoke in a trembling voice, his eyes brimming with tears. Rosalie never thought she would see him in such a vulnerable state.
It was normal that he was behaving like this, given the ordeal he was going through. He was deeply traumatized, and was clinging onto her for dear life.
Rosalie took on the responsibility of taking care of him till his full recovery.
“Got it. Next time, I’ll make things clear to you. I won’t do this again, please don’t be upset. I’m back with you now, I’m right here,” she assured. Sebastian stared at Rosalie in a daze. Her words of comfort did make him feel better, but the seeing her so submissive, gentle, and thoughtful made her feel like a stranger-as if she shouldn’t be treating him like this.
The tone she took with him felt more like that of a mother toward a child, and not that of a wife toward a husband.
He didn’t see the deep love etched in
her eyes that a wife should have for her husband, but he was very sure that he loved her deeply evenwith his memory loss.
Seeing Sebastian in a daze, Rosalie asked, “Seb, what’s the matter? Do you feel unwell?”
Sebastian shook his head. “No, I’m good. Honey, have you had dinner?”
Rosalie’s recount of her evening sounded like she hadn’t had dinner.
Rosalie replied frankly, “Nope. I’ll grab something to eat later.”
“Let the bodyguard buy food for you. It’s so late, I don’t feel safe letting you go out alone.”
Sebastian held her hand. Rosalie saw the insecurity in his eyes, and his need for her to be by his side.
“Sure. I’ll ask the bodyguard for help, and tell him what I’d like to eat.”
Sebastian nodded.
After Rosalie spoke to the bodyguard, he quickly returned with dinner.
After dinner, Rosalie prepared to retire for the night.
