“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.
“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.”
“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 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.”
