It was the second time Byron had heard the little girl call Rosalie that.His forehead puckered when he saw the timid look in the little one’s eyes, but he could not bear to say anything to her.Estelle’s eyes lit up when her daddy did not ask her to change how she had addressed Rosalie. Then, she looked at the two little boys.The little ones would have cheered if Rosalie were not asleep.Byron was in a puzzle when he saw the joyous look on the little ones’ faces. However, he did not ask. He only said, “It’s getting late. Go back home and sleep early.”Since the little ones had seen that Rosalie was in good condition and experienced a surprising moment, they obediently nodded at Byron’s words. Then, they followed Byron out of the ward.After taking the three little ones into the next room, Byron watched them look into his eyes and something struck him.He seemed to know what the little ones were so happy about.“Daddy.”Estelle was the closest to Byron, and she tugged on his
Estelle saw her two brothers when she opened her eyes, and her cheeks flushed red.“Did you dream about your mommy? What happened to her?”Lucian grabbed Estelle’s and asked her slowly.The little one drooped her eyes guiltily. “I dreamed… of Auntie.”Lucian and Nox looked puzzled. “But you called out to your mommy?”Estelle looked at Lucian and Nox timidly and did not answer.She did not know what was going on either, but after she met Rosalie, the mommy in her dreams had a face.She also felt that the mommy in her dreams was warmer.It was different now that Rosalie was ill.Like this time, she dreamed of Rosalie being unconscious.In the dream, no matter what she said, Rosalie kept her eyes closed and ignored her, making the girl scared. Lucian and Nox did not get an answer from Estelle, but they could guess the reason from her expression.“Estie, you’ve taken our mommy as yours too, right?”Nox asked in his cute voice.Estelle hesitated and nodded. Then, she looked a
When Byron woke up the following day, Rosalie had already woken up and was taking the acupuncture needles off her body.Byron looked at his empty hand and the woman before him as he asked in his horse voice, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake me?”Rosalie was focusing on taking off the acupuncture needles. She knew he was awake when she heard his voice. After hesitating for a moment, she continued doing what she was doing as she answered.“You were fast asleep, and I was fine, so I didn’t call you.”She did not even look at Byron when she spoke.Rosalie felt as though she was in a dream when she saw Byron’s hand holding hers as he lay by the bed when she woke up that morning.The memory of her waking up in a daze last night struck her.It was not a dream. Byron had taken care of her day and night.Rosalie could not describe her feelings when she realized this.She did not have the heart to wake Byron up when she saw how tired he looked. Hence, she pulled out her hand c
“They’re next door,” Byron said in a deep voice. “Now that you’re awake, I’ll let them come and look. Then, Luther will take them home.”Rosalie also did not want to keep the little ones in the hospital for a long time. She agreed without hesitation.However, Byron did not do anything after saying so.Rosalie was nervous as she recalled how Byron had cared for her the day before.She had thought Byron would go and call the little ones right away. Then, she could take the time to calm down.However, she did not know what to say when she saw Byron not planning on moving. “Put the needles away.”Byron’s voice sounded as he looked at the acupuncture needles she placed by the bedside.Rosalie was startled for a moment.Byron’s gaze fell on her face, and he said gently, “The kids will be scared to see those.”Rosalie explained subconsciously, “It’s alright. Lucian and Nox are used to them.”Sometimes, the little ones would help her disinfect and organize the acupuncture needles.
Rosalie comforted the little ones by stroking their heads.“Mommy, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”Lucian and Nox looked at her, worried.Through the eyes of the little ones, Rosalie could see her pale face.She could understand why the little ones were worried. Rosalie apologized. “I’m fine. Sorry for scaring you last night.”“Mommy, you already said sorry yesterday!”“Mommy, you don’t need to apologize to us. Just get better!”Rosalie smiled.“Estie is worried about you, Mommy. She dreamed of you and cried in her sleep.”Nox saw Estelle hiding behind them. He suddenly backed away to let Rosalie see her.Estelle had her head lowered and glanced at Rosalie secretly.She remembered that the last time she asked Rosalie if she could call her ‘Mommy’, Rosalie had rejected her without hesitation.However, she had called Rosalie ‘Mommy’ quite a few times when she was unconscious.The little one was afraid Rosalie would be angry if she recalled it.Rosalie s
When Rosalie’s mind drifted away, Byron said something to the little ones, and they bid farewell to her.“Mommy, now that you’re okay, we’ll go back home first. You should have a good rest. We’ll wait for you at home.”Nox was smiling.Rosalie was puzzled when she saw the smile on the little one’s face.The little ones had always wanted to be with her 24 hours a day. This time, instead of being with her, they took the initiative to say goodbye.Nox asked in his cute voice, “Mommy, why don’t you let Estie come with us? She’ll be scared alone!”Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts and subconsciously looked at Byron. She hesitated before nodding. “You guys take care of her, then.”Yesterday, the little ones were terrified. Estelle was always insecure and really needed to be with Lucian and Nox.The children nodded vigorously. “We’ll go back home, then!”With that, they waved to Rosalie and ran to the ward door.Turning around, the little ones had smiles on their faces.Andrius h
“I’ve called several experts to examine you, and they’ll be here in a minute.”Byron suppressed his emotions and said calmly.Several experts hurried over as soon as he told Rosalie about it.They were scared to see Rosalie sitting on the bed. “Miss Jacobs, please lie down. There’s still poison in your body. We have to examine your body and prescribe medication for you.”Rosalie knew her body well enough. “It’s okay. I’ve cleared the remaining poison in my body.”The experts frowned in disbelief. “That’s impossible.”They saw how severe Rosalie’s symptoms were yesterday and could not believe Rosalie had slept it off.Rosalie smiled and said nothing.Unconvinced, the experts examined Rosalie’s body.After checking, they were dumbfounded. “What…”Rosalie was almost recovered, and the poison in her body was nearly gone.“I gave myself acupuncture in the morning and cleared the toxins. I can feel that the toxins are almost gone, but I don’t know if the rest of my body will be af
“Was Young Master Xander here yesterday?”Rosalie could not help herself from asking.When she asked, she saw Byron’s expression change, and he seemed displeased.Rosalie was startled and did not know what she had said that angered him.She saw Xander’s missed calls and recalled the night she went unconscious when she was with Xander.Xander was also there when the poisonous gas struck her.Rosalie could not help but worry about Xander’s condition now.“Is Young Master Xander so important to you? Why do you only care about the kids and Xander when you recover?”Byron looked at her gravely as he spoke, moving closer to the bed.Rosalie was puzzled by his sudden anger. She frowned and explained, “I just saw that he had called me several times, and I was poisoned—”Byron interrupted her before she could finish speaking, “He was with you when you were unconscious.”Rosalie did not think much. Recalling the scene at the time, she nodded.She doubted if Byron’s words meant more t
