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
Byron looked to the side once more but met Lucian's gaze.Their eyes met. As stoic as Byron was, he was stunned for a moment. "Are you still awake?"He thought that the three little ones were all asleep.Lucian's eyes were red, but he put on a sullen face, trying to look serious."Daddy, the truth is, Mommy has been sick for days, hasn't she?"Byron's expression froze slightly, hesitating whether to tell the truth to the little boy.Lucian was indeed the most mature of the three children.The best way to confess to Lucian would be to explain the situation to him first.However, the boy had just finished crying so badly. Byron felt that this was not a good time to confess.After a few moments of silence, Byron finally continued withholding the truth. "No, don't think too much. Mommy just has a cold and a fever. She’ll get better soon."Just as he finished speaking, the little boy questioned him again, "But Mommy has never been on such a long business trip before."Byron said
Rosalie was still awake when Byron returned to the hospital.He quickened his pace when he saw the bright lights in the ward."Why aren’t you resting?" With a little worry in his eyes, he looked at the woman on the hospital bed who was lost in her thoughts.Rosalie came back to her senses upon hearing his voice. She pursed her lips and smiled. "I've been sleeping for three to four days straight. I can't sleep anymore."Then, she asked about the children, "How are the kids? Are they asleep?"Byron said, "I came here only after I made sure they were asleep."Rosalie felt relieved. Her heart ached as she looked at him. "You look almost as bad as me. You should’ve slept well at home tonight."For those who were unaware, one might think Byron was the one who was critically ill, judging from the look on his face.He heard this, subconsciously wiped his face, and frowned indifferently. "I’ve had several sleepless nights before over some business discussions in the past. This isn’t a b
