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."
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."
"The other patient, Mr. Carter, was also attacked. And now, there's another attack victim. Are the number of criminals increasing? If 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. If the nurses were referring to him, he must have died, since his organs were already donated.
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?"
