“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”Rosalie could see Byron was worried and sat up on her bed. “Didn’t the doctors say my body was recovering? I can feel that the antidote you got for me is working.”Byron stared into her eyes as he asked, “Do you still remember what you told me?”Rosalie smiled and comforted him, “I’ll let you know if anything is wrong with me.”Byron felt slightly relieved when she said so.Then, Rosalie drooped her eyelids, and a glimpse of concern flashed through her eyes.“What are you thinking about?” Byron noticed her strange reaction and asked.Rosalie hid her worries and adjusted her expression while she lifted her head. “I’m worried about the kids. I wonder how they’re doing now.”Byron’s suspicion faded upon hearing that. “Since you’re awake now, call them at night. It’ll ease their worries.”Rosalie nodded. “I hope so.”Then, she looked down again.Byron’s brows furrowed, and he looked worried. “Are you feeling unwell?”However, he saw Rosalie’s innocent e
Rosalie felt puzzled upon getting no response from them. She even wanted to go out and take a look.Everyone noticed her movement and snapped out of their thoughts. They quickly entered the ward.“Mrs. Lawrence, what’s the matter?”Rosalie sat back on the bed. “Has Byron left?”The experts nodded hesitantly as they looked at her doubtfully.Rosalie smiled. “I asked him to get me some fruit. Maybe it’ll take a while for him to return. I have something I want to talk to you about.”The experts let out a relieved sigh and nodded.“I’m sure you have examined my recovery condition.”Rosalie spoke seriously, “The antidote had indeed shown its effect, but it has only temporarily reduced the effects of the poison. It can’t cure me. If we let it be, the poison’s effects might bounce back.”In other words, the antidote Xander gave them was only part of the antidote.It was just like when he poisoned her.The antidote Xander gave had to be taken a few times. However, he had only given
It shocked the experts that Rosalie had an answer to her diagnostic so soon.“What’s wrong?”Rosalie noticed their expression looked weird, so she asked in a puzzle.The experts were still in their bewildered state and did not answer her.Rosalie thought they were worried that Byron would blame them. She smiled and comforted them, “You just have to do as I tell you. I’ll explain to Byron if he notices anything.”The experts were even more taken aback when they heard that. “Doesn’t… President Lawrence know about this?”They thought the atmosphere in the ward was tense because Byron noticed Rosalie’s condition.Rosalie had yet told Byron anything about such a huge matter.She drooped her eyes and looked worried. “I think I can cure myself. He’s been worrying so much these days and hasn’t been sleeping well. It’s better not to make him worry. Please keep this a secret for me.”Then, she smiled at the experts. “I believe in you all. So, please believe in me. I’ll find a way to cur
Rosalie smiled and answered, “Mary is worried. She asked about my condition.”Byron nodded and sat by the bed as he mentioned casually, “One of the doctors was missing when I was back. Did he tell you where he was going?”Rosalie’s smile froze.She did not expect Byron to notice such a slight difference.What did not occur to her was that he would even care about that.After a momentary shock, Rosalie remained calm and said, “I’m not sure about that. It’s fine as long as someone is outside. It won’t make any difference even if one is missing.”Then, she continued helplessly, “I’m awake now. There’s no need for so many experts to guard outside. Tell them to get some rest.”Byron took out an apple from the bag and peeled the skin. However, he looked worried.According to what he knew about Rosalie, she would not request to eat something sweet when she just recovered from her illness or ask him to get something from a store that far.He knew she needed some space, yet he had no i
Byron had prepared himself for the worst.He nodded. “I believe in you. You’re an outstanding doctor, and Xander’s poison is a piece of cake for you.”Rosalie thought she would have to convince Byron to get him to believe in her, but he agreed to her plan easier than she expected. She was a little taken aback.Byron continued peeling the apple. “However, you must not keep it from me if anything happens during this process.”Rosalie snapped out of her daze and nodded obediently. “Sure.”Then, she looked at the man before her affectionately and said, “Hubby, thank you for trusting me.”Byron froze upon hearing that.He was both happy and surprised, even doubting he heard things. He stared into her eyes and asked, “What did you call me?”Rosalie did not know what was wrong with her, making her call him that.She could not say that word again when he stared at her with his burning gaze. Her face flushed red as she looked away.Byron did not plan to give up and put the apple down.
“You’re just getting better and haven’t fully recovered.”Byron’s eyebrows were knitted, and he disagreed.Rosalie patiently explained, “I know what I’m doing. I can get out of bed and walk now.”The two were in a standoff.After debating for a while, Byron compromised. “You can’t leave the hospital. If you’re worried, I can ask Luther to bring them to the hospital.”Rosalie hesitated upon hearing that suggestion. “They’ll know I’m ill if they come here.”She did not want to worry the kids..Byron pondered momentarily and suggested, “Just say you got a cold and fever after getting off the plane, and I asked you to go to the hospital. They’re kids and won’t know much.”Rosalie did not think it was a good idea. However, she agreed since Byron had said so.Byron called Luther immediately.Luther had just sent Mary and Chloe back. Just as he parked the car below the hospital, he got a call from Byron.“Sir, I’ve driven Miss Lincoln and Miss Wilson back home.”Luther reported as
The car pulled over at the hospital.Luther got out of the car and wanted to carry the little ones down. However, they had already gotten out of the car and were staring at him, waiting for him to take them to their mommy.Looking at the little ones’ anxious expressions, Luther sighed and felt bad. He touched the kids’ heads, trying to comfort them. “Let’s go upstairs.”The little ones nodded obediently and followed him.When they were in the elevator, Luther texted Byron.Byron was already waiting for them when the elevator door opened on the top floor.“Daddy!”The kids ran out of the elevator excitedly when they saw their daddy and hugged him.Byron touched the little ones’ heads and nodded at Luther. “Thank you. Have a day off tomorrow.”Luther nodded and closed the elevator door. He left the family of five alone.“Daddy, where’s Mommy?”Luther tugged Byron’s shirt anxiously and urged.Byron looked at them and said, “In the ward.”Then, he took the kids to Rosalie.Th
Rosalie looked at the kids’ worried expressions and felt sad. She looked away, trying not to cry.“I asked Uncle Luther to bring you here because I don’t want you to be worried. You can rest assured since you’ve seen that I’m just fine. If you stay back and get a fever, I’ll be worried.”Nox was reluctant to leave.Lucian spoke out, “Let’s go back. Mommy, please take good care of yourself.”Nox and Estelle said nothing more no matter how reluctant they were since their eldest brother had decided.Rosalie felt relieved and smiled as she nodded. “Okay. I’ll take good care of myself and go back home soon.”“Don’t forget to answer our calls!” Lucian stated his condition.Rosalie knew the kids were worried sick about her since they had lost contact with her for two days. She felt terrible and agreed readily.Getting her promise made the kids feel more at ease, and she gave in. They reluctantly let go of her hands.Rosalie did not dare to look at them. She quickly diverted her gaze
