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
Rosalie was speechless.Indeed, the three of them were in charge of the project.She would not hurt herself. The only two suspects left were Xander and Yves.However, out of the two men, one was the project leader while the other was her longtime partner.Rosalie did not want to suspect them.Byron’s anger grew when he saw Rosalie insisting. “If I remember correctly, Xander was also involved in the fire in your research institute the last time!”Rosalie looked into Byron’s eyes in a puzzle and did not know why he said so.“Young Master Xander delivered the medicine and left. What does that have to do with him?”She did not want to quarrel with Byron and kept her voice calm. “You know better than anyone how we got that batch of medicine. Do you think Young Master Xander would do something that would cause himself so much trouble?”After saying that, Rosalie looked at Byron and felt a little helpless. She sighed. “Byron, calm down. We must speak based on evidence and not judge t
Rosalie was starting to doubt Xander. However, she felt Byron’s words sounded strange.If Byron said that out of his suspicion for Xander, then what about when he asked how long she had known Xander…?Rosalie drooped her eyes and pondered for a few minutes. Something struck her, and she was surprised.Before this, Byron would always get mad at her because of her close relationship with Xander.It was the same this time.He seemed to be angry only because she was defending Xander.She wondered if Byron was… jealous?Realizing what he was thinking, Rosalie finally knew why he was always angry. Feeling guilty, she glanced at Byron and retracted her gaze.It seemed weird to think Byron was jealous.Byron could never be jealous.The thought sprouted in her mind, and she did not dare to look into Byron’s eyes anymore.Her voice sounded less confident when she spoke, “I don’t know much about Young Master Xander. I think he’s innocent because it’s his family’s project.”Byron, who
Yves was happy to hear Rosalie’s concern, yet he sounded worried about her.“It doesn’t matter if I’m a little tired as long as you get better. I was worried about… Never mind. Why did you call?”Rosalie felt terrible when she said, “I think I’ll have to trouble you more.”Yves had been because she was unconscious.This time, she had to trouble Yves to give Byron access to the research institute just because they wanted to investigate.Rosalie felt bad troubling him.Yves was in the research institute, dealing with the surveillance footage. He was erasing the evidence.Rosalie’s words made Yves stop what he was doing. Then, he spoke calmly, “What’s the matter? I’ll do it if I can.”Rosalie smiled gratefully and said, “President Lawrence and I wanted to investigate the matter yesterday. We might need access to many places in the research institute. We might have to trouble you to grant him authorization.”Yves felt his heart hammering, and he was panicked.It was okay if Rosal
Rosalie looked at the man beside her in astonishment.Byron's words shook her even more than when he told her that he wanted to pursue her.Meeting her gaze, Byron's face revealed a bit of awkwardness, but he quickly brushed it off."If you think this is more appropriate, then do as you say."After a while, Byron said nonchalantly, "You’re a doctor yourself, and you should know your own body well. Those experts also said that the residual toxins in your body are almost gone, and you can be discharged from the hospital."He changed the topic a little too abruptly.Rosalie felt that his expression looked funny, and she followed along. "Then, please help me with the discharge procedures, President Lawrence. We’ll start the investigation soon."Byron agreed flatly, turned around, and went to arrange the discharge procedures.He was still a little uneasy as he came out of the ward. Byron went to get confirmation from the experts that Rosalie could indeed be discharged from the hospi
The rain gradually stopped as the two reached the parking lot.The custom-made suit that Byron used to shield them from the rain was already wet, and his arms holding up the suit were also soaked through.Rosalie stood by the side of the car and watched him open the door. He casually threw the suit on the back seat. She hesitated for a moment, then finally opened the front passenger door and sat inside.Soon, Byron also sat inside. He started the car slowly and drove toward her house."I wonder what they are doing now."Rosalie found a topic amidst the awkward silence in the car.Byron raised his eyes and looked at her face reflected in the rearview mirror. "Luther will take good care of them. If you’re worried, you can call him and ask."Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. "It’s okay. I believe that Luther will take good care of them too."Speaking of the little ones, Rosalie could not help thinking of how they left without hesitation this morning.‘I don't know what ran thro
