Byron was a very light sleeper, so when he heard a faint rustling sound in his half-conscious state, he frowned and opened his eyes.He was met with the sight of the person on the hospital bed, hand on their forehead. Clearly, they had already woken up."How do you feel? Are you burning up?" Byron got up and walked toward the hospital bed.Rosalie’s movements were slightly stiff as she slowly sat up on the bed and thanked him politely. "I feel much better, sorry for all the trouble tonight."At her estranged behavior, Byron’s eyes darkened. He reminded himself that the woman was still ill, so he suppressed his displeasure and said in a low voice, "Are you hungry? You didn't eat anything all night."She was fine when she did not have her mind on it, but at the mention of food, Rosalie could not help the feeling of emptiness in her stomach.Not only did she not eat anything all night, but she also did not have any appetite all day due to her fever, only having a few measly bites of food

After Rosalie finished drinking the chicken soup, Byron silently went over to help her adjust her bed. After clearing the bowl, he returned once again.Silence fell between them. Rosalie had slept all day and therefore could not fall asleep anymore. Nonetheless, she still closed her eyes, not wanting to interact with Byron.On the other hand, Byron was exhausted after a busy day. After sitting back down, he closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.The sound of even breathing could be heard in the silent ward.Rosalie slowly opened her eyes and glanced in Byron’s direction.The man's suit jacket was draped over her blanket as he himself wore only a thin dress shirt; his arms folded over his chest. It did not seem like he was having the most peaceful of slumbers.After deliberating for a moment, Rosalie cautiously stood up, took Byron’s jacket, walked over to him, and lightly draped it over his front.As she was standing back up, Rosalie caught sight of the man's handsome face, and

"Mommy, how are you? Has the fever subsided?" Lucian and Nox rushed to the bedside, concern evident on their faces.Rosalie smiled as she nodded. "Mhm, I'm feeling much better now."The two boys, still worried, reached out to feel her forehead.Seeing this, Rosalie leaned down compliantly and let the two boys touch her forehead.Just as she was about to sit back up, she caught sight of Estie standing behind Lucian and Nox. The little girl was biting her lips, her eyes glossy, and worry etched across her little face.Compared to Lucian and Nox, the little girl was more on the timid side.Rosalie’s heart softened at that, and she smiled at the little girl as she said, "Estie, do you want to come and check my temperature too?"Estie was stunned for a moment, then with an earnest nod, she let go of Lisa's hand and hurried over.Rosalie was still leaning over, and when she saw the little girl stretch out her hand, she reached out to grab the girl's wrist and guided it to her forehead.After

After finishing the chicken soup, Rosalie glanced at the time. She could probably still make it if she rushed to the research institute now."My fever has subsided. Lisa, could you please help me get discharged from the hospital? I still have work to do."Letting a senior such as Leon perform an operation had already delayed progress on the research institute’s side of things.Rosalie did not want their research progress to fall behind because of her.Lisa was hesitant. "Miss, you should stay in the hospital for another day to let them observe your condition. I understand how busy you are during this time, but your sudden bout of fever yesterday was no doubt due to overwork. Right now, the fever has just subsided, but you’re already in a hurry to go back to work again. I'm just afraid that your body won't be able to withstand all this."She had not spent a long time at Rosalie's house, but during that time, she had witnessed the immense amount of workload that Rosalie had to handle.If

It was not even 8 o’clock yet when they came out of the hospital.Rosalie laid in bed for a day or two and felt that her bones were all stiff. She finally breathed in the fresh air outside and comfortably did a good stretch.Lucian and Nox followed behind her every step of the way, fearing that something might happen to her again.“Miss Jacobs, it’s best that you rest at home, even just for the morning!” Lisa did her best to advise her. Rosalie looked back and smiled, “I’m good, don’t worry. I performed surgery two days ago and got drenched in sweat, didn’t clean up properly, and rushed to the kindergarten. I must have caught a cold from that which led to my fever. I’ll be more cautious next time.” After she spoke, she squatted down and touched the heads of the little fellas. “Mommy still needs to go to work at the Research Institute. Get Nanny Lisa to send you to kindergarten, alright? You might run a little late, but I’ll let Miss Leigh Ann know.”The little fellas looked at

Byron was holding Estie’s hand while he looked at the woman who had a cold expression. He spoke sarcastically, “Miss Jacobs, you don’t have to avoid me at all costs like this even if I were a stranger. I was intending to send Estie to kindergarten. Besides, I’ll be passing by your research institute from the kindergarten on the way to Lawrence Corporation. That’s why I offered to give you a ride. I don’t understand why you’re getting your guards up.” His words implied that Rosalie’s move was somewhat too sensitive. Estie, too, wanted to be with the beautiful aunt for a while longer. Upon hearing this, her pair of big, round eyes were locked on Rosalie. “Aunt…” Rosalie could not help but soften her heart. Besides, Byron’s words left her with no refute. They had nothing to do with each other. If she continued rejecting such harmless offers, it would seem like she was petty.The thought of this convinced Rosalie to agree. She said to Lisa, “You should head back first. I’ll send

The same evening that day. Wendy was inspecting the office and felt that the employees’ gazes on her were strange.“President Lawrence sure is good to you, President Fuller. We’re all jealous to death!” A female employee she was close with came up and teased her. Upon hearing this, Wendy was stunned. She then forced out a smile that showed a matter of course and casually asked, “Really? How did you notice it?"The smile on the female employee’s face became more flattering. “Everyone knows about how President Lawrence took care of you all night long at the hospital. You’re still able to come to work on time this morning. You surely are our role model!” Wendy’s expression slightly stiffened. “What did you say?”President Lawrence took care of her all night long at the hospital?She was fine these two days. When did she end up in the hospital?The female employee thought she was just shy, so she immediately pulled out her phone, swiped up a piece of news media, and showed her.

The other employees outside still treated the news as true and exchanged opinions about her. “Previously there were rumors that President Lawrence refused to marry President Fuller and kept dragging the wedding ceremony. Who knew he was this caring behind closed doors?” “President Lawrence is so handsome and caring. I want a boyfriend like him too!”“…”When she heard the chatter, Wendy’s expression changed for the worse. Her palms almost bled from her clenched fists. She then forced herself to suppress her anger. “Don’t discuss unimportant matters during working hours. All of you, get back to work!”After saying this, Wendy gave the chattering employees a cold look, turned around without looking back, and strode away.She could not take it anymore! The more those people talked, the more her temper shot up! The moment she left the office, Wendy drove straight home. At the Fuller family’s villa, Magdalene and Henry were sitting in the living room when they suddenly saw their

The three of them discussed it for quite some time and felt that this matter still needed Melody’s help. After all, Melody was the most supportive person when it came to marrying Wendy into the Lawrence family. Byron would at least listen to what she would say. With that, Magdalene called Melody for a meet-up right away.“Wendy is here too? Is there anything you want to eat? It’s on me today.” Melody did not see the unusual expression on their faces and sat across them with a smile on her face. Wendy forced out a smile. “Thanks, Aunt Melody, but I don’t have much of an appetite today.” After saying this, she gloomily lowered her head with both hands placed on her knees, fingertips intertwined. Seeing her like that, Melody asked with great concern, “Are you in a bad mood? What’s the matter?” Wendy pursed her lips and shook her head. Melody looked at Magdalene confused. Magdalene too forced out a smile. She took out her phone and opened Twitter. This time, without her e

Rosalie had just gotten off work when she heard the employees of the research institute discuss Byron and Wendy’s relationship.“Mr. Lawrence is so sweet. He took care of his fiancee the entire night yesterday. Even my boyfriend might not be able to do what he did.”“The key is that he’s handsome and rich, while his fiancee is really pretty! She looks a little like our Dr. Jacobs, so she must be a beauty!”“...”A bunch of research institute employees were discussing as they walked. When they saw Rosalie, they bade her goodbye. “Bye, Dr. Jacobs.”Rosalie said her goodbyes to each and every one of them with a smile.However, when she overheard what they were talking about, she felt like something was amiss.Byron took care of his fiancee the whole night yesterday?The thing was, Byron was with her the entire night. When did he meet up with Wendy, then?Just when she felt like something weird was going on, Yves rushed in from behind her and asked, “Are you free tonight? Wanna ha
