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
"I will develop an antidote."Rosalie was determined. “If we give in to his request this time, he’ll make even more unreasonable demands the next time we ask for the antidote. Should we agree to everything?"Then, she questioned Byron with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you believe in me? Since I said it, I’ll make it happen!"Byron already knew that Xander would do this, but he accepted the terms for the sake of Rosalie's survival.Now, he gradually gained confidence seeing how determined his woman was.The two looked at each other for a long time, and Byron made a concession. "Alright, then we’ll do as you said. That statement is invalid, and our partnership remains."A smile appeared on Rosalie's face when he compromised.Byron stood up after they concluded this matter.Rosalie thought he was coming to bed with her, so she scooted aside to make space.Byron looked longingly at her. "I want to accept my wife's invitation, but you’ve only just recovered. This bed is so smal
‘Rosalie? Isn't she with Byron? Why didn’t Byron answer my call? Why is Rosalie calling instead?’Xander was full of suspicion. The phone rang for a while before he picked it up."Awake already, Miss Jacobs?"On the other end, Rosalie's voice was full of anger."Xander, I overestimated you. As the heir to the Lancer family and as a doctor, I never imagined you'd use your medical skills to poison me! Aren't you ashamed of abusing the Lancer family's century-old legacy?"Xander's eyes turned cold from her condemnation. The corners of his lips slowly curled up. "You’re still able to throw accusations at me. You seem quite energetic!"Rosalie shot back coldly. "It's all thanks to you!"Xander narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered. "Since you know that I did it, then you should know that your life is still in my hands! You'd better be polite to me!"Then, he asked in a cold voice, "Where is Byron? Put him on the phone!"Rosalie refused without hesitation. "He has nothing to say to
The call disconnected, and Byron's expression froze slightly. There was so much he wanted to say.He held his tongue in the end after some consideration.His woman needed to focus on finding a way to develop an antidote now.As for the rest, he would take care of it.Worst-case scenario, he would just bow down to Xander again.Rosalie noticed that he was still visibly worried, so she comforted him softly, saying, "The blood test results should be out soon. I’ll find a solution."Byron's face softened slightly. "I believe in you."There was silence again in the ward.Byron knew that Rosalie was thinking about the antidote again, so he kept quiet so as to not disturb her again.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Rosalie put her thoughts aside and looked at the door in puzzlement, thinking that Mary came back after a night's rest.Byron stood up and opened the door.He felt instantly more relaxed when he saw the person at the door."Byron, Old Master Loewe may have disc
"Sir, are you Old Master Loewe?"Finally recovering from the shock, Rosalie mentally matched the person in front of her with the photo of the Old Master when he was young.Old Master Loewe nodded. He asked with concern. "How are you feeling now?"Rosalie sat up straight respectfully. "Thank you for your concern, sir. I feel better now for the time being. It's rude of me to sit and greet you like this."She tried to get out of bed as she spoke.The old man waved his hand. "It's okay, you are a patient. Don’t bother with the formalities."He turned to look at Byron. "How did Miss Jacobs wake up? Did some expert develop the antidote?"Byron pressed Rosalie's shoulders, made her sit on the bed, and said, "I managed to get some from Xander Lancer, but the dosage was not enough to remove all the toxins in Rosalie's system. I’m afraid I’ll still your help for the remaining poison, sir."Old Master Loewe nodded knowingly. "Of course."He re-emerged from hiatus this time with the sole
"I would’ve seen the other herbs in the Lancer’s ancient medical books."When Old Master Loewe could not figure out the remaining herbs, Rosalie said hesitantly, "I should be able to figure it out according to the clues you gave. Just give me some time."Old Master Loewe was surprised to hear that Rosalie had read the Lancer’s ancient medical books. However, he did not show it. "Other herbs were easy to figure out. However, Xander would not concoct the most important materials so simply.”As long as they cannot figure out that single herb, developing an antidote can only be a dream!Andrius carefully expressed his speculation. "I think it isn’t just the herbs that were complicated. Xander was so sure that we couldn’t develop an antidote. Perhaps, he used an unusual method to concoct the poison; that's why the ingredients were so difficult to distinguish."Otherwise, it would never have been such a struggle to find a clue with Old Master Loewe and Rosalie’s medical skills.The atm
