"No need.”
Yayoi threw the tissues into the trash can, then took out a few more and wrapped them around her scratched fingers.
"Look, I have bandaged it.” She waved her hand.
Rosiley didn't know what to say.
Her face darkened when she saw the blood staining the tissue again. "Yayoi, listen to me and ask the nurse to bind up your wound."
Rosiley's voice carried unarguable insistence.
"he!
Just as Yayoi was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, followed by a familiar voice.
"Rosiley, I'm here to see you. Can I come in?"
It was Maddox's voice.
"Yes." Rosiley replied while looking sideways at Yayoi. Yayoi looked down with an indifferent expression. No one was able to see through her now.
Rosiley narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
Maddox pushed open the door and walked in. On seeing the slender figure with her back facing him, Maddox was astonished, but he quickly regained his composure. He then smiled and asked Rosiley, "Rosiley, hasn't Sachin come?”
"He has just left.” Rosiley smiled slightly. "He has stayed with me all afternoon. He needs to attend a dinner party tonight, and he may come later.’
Maddox nodded and walked over to sit down beside the bed. Looking calmly at Yayoi, who stood on the other side of the bed while hanging her head, he smiled,
“Miss Song, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I can drive you here.”
Hearing his polite and distant address, Yayoi frowned, and felt upset.
"Mr. Shen, there's no need to trouble you," she responded with indifference.
Maddox raised his eyebrows, revealing a self-mocking smile.
Rosiley shifted her gaze from Maddox to Yayoi. She could feel a strange atmosphere between Maddox and Yayoi, as if they quarreled.
Yayoi noticed Rosiley's inquiring gaze and panicked. Be afraid that Rosiley would find out something, Yayoi stood up and left in a hurry. “I'm going to the nurse station.”
Maddox looked at Yayoi's receding figure, and a complicated expression appeared in his eyes.
Was she avoiding him? Ever since he entered, she hadn't even glanced at him. That she snubbed him enraged him.
‘If she minds that I have a fiancée, I can ask Sachin to talk to my grandfather. Perhaps the engagement will be called off:
When Maddox thought of this, he was shocked and realized a very serious problem....
He ... he actually wanted to cancel the engagement for Yayoi.
This ridiculous thought frightened him so much that he quickly shook his head. Then, he withdrew his gaze, unexpectedly, meeting a mischievous gaze.
"Tell me, what happened between you and Yayoi?" Rosiley asked with a smile.
‘Holy shit! Why does Rosiley think that there is something wrong between Yayoi and me?’
Maddox was a little surprised privately, but he still replied calmly. "Yayoi and 1? Nothing happened.”
"Is that so?” Rosiley narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "When Yayoi peeled an apple, she cut her finger....”
"Is the wound serious?"
Before she could finish, he anxiously interrupted her.
Seeing his anxious and worried expression, Rosiley revealed a meaningful smile, while Maddox awkwardly pursed his lips.
‘Rosiley is not easy to be fooled:
"l like Yayoi." Maddox did not conceal his feelings anymore.
"Lcan tell.” Rosiley raised her eyebrows. "But I'm curious. You don't seem to have much contact with each other. Do you take a liking to her on your first meeting?"
If Rosiley hadn't asked, Maddox wouldn't have said it, let alone Yayoi.
Rosiley didn't blame Yayoi for concealing it. After all, this was Yayoi's privacy.
But now that she knew, Rosiley couldn't let it go so easily. In her opinion, she was partly responsible for this matter.
If she had gone to the police station that night, such a thing would not have happened.
Rosiley took a deep breath, then looked at Maddox and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Maddox shrugged and answered her honestly, "I don't know."
He didn't know.
Rosiley sneered, "It doesn't help. Don't tell me that this is a new era, so you think sex doesn't mean anything?"
"Rosiley, I don't mean that." Maddox smiled bitterly. "I really don't know what to do. I want to be with Yayoi, but she turned me down."
"It's reasonable that she did it.” Rosiley crossed her arms and sneered, "You have a fiancée, Maddox."
"I know.’
"To be honest, I knew that there was something fishy going on between you two long ago. I was very happy, because Sachin told me that you didn't love your fiancée."
Maddox didn't say anything. He lowered his head and pondered something.
Rosiley glanced at him and then turned to look out of the window. The sky was pitch black, and only specks of stars were flickering.
She curled her lips and whispered, "Considering your family background, you have no freedom to choose your wife. But don't forget. This is your life. You have the right to decide what kind of life you will lead, and to choose the woman who will stay with you for the rest of your life.”
Maddox was deeply startled by her soft and gentle voice.
Yeah, this was his own life. He once resolutely chose to go into business, instead of joining the army and becoming a government official.
He had the courage to say no.
