Back at the villa, Lisa was waiting for them to return home. The dinner she had prepared was ready for a long time, but there was no sight of them. When she finally saw them entering the door, she stepped forward with a worried look on her face, "Miss, why are you so late today?" Rosalie forced a smile, "It's nothing. I had to work a little late, that’s why. I’ll leave the children in your care. I'm a little tired, so I'll go to bed first." Seeing that her face was very haggard, Lisa hurriedly agreed. Rosalie exchanged a few words with the two boys and then went back to her room. The next morning, Lisa prepared breakfast as usual, but Rosalie did not come down. However, the two boys went downstairs by themselves and even wash themselves up. "You guys eat first, I'll go take a look at your Mommy." Lisa felt a little worried when she thought of Rosalie's haggard appearance yesterday. Hearing that, the two boys stopped her and said, "No need, Mommy will be very tired every
Byron was standing by the side. Estie refused to go back with him until she saw Rosalie, so he waited here with the little girl. However, he did not expect to hear such news. Estie grabbed his sleeve anxiously, "Auntie..." Reading her thoughts, Byron asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Miss Jacobs?" Lisa did not know anything about the conflict between them, so she replied without hesitation, "Miss Jacobs came back yesterday and something was wrong. I thought she was tired, but I didn't expect her to start running a temperature at noon today. I have to go back quickly to take care of her." After speaking, she was ready to leave with the two little boys. Lucian and Nox even forgot to say goodbye to Estie and hurriedly turned and left. Seeing this, Estie's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she kept murmuring for her "Auntie" in a low voice. Seeing the little girl's worry, Byron fell silent for a long time. Nevertheless, he took the little girl into the car and aske
Rosalie hesitated. She did not want to have too much contact with Byron. However, she had to admit that this was the best solution. After a moment of hesitation, Rosalie nodded and agreed, "Alright." Byron nodded. Rosalie made the two boys get off the bed and got out of the bed by herself. Unexpectedly, she felt the world around her spinning as soon as she stood up. Fortunately, she was still beside the bed. After staggering a few times, she managed to stand upright."I'll help you down." Lisa hurriedly stepped forward to help. Suddenly, everything within Rosalie's sight went pitch black. It was only after a while before she regained clarity and nodded weakly. Lisa went over to support her, and she managed to take two steps. The three children followed beside nervously. Rosalie really had no strength. She balanced her entire body weight on Lisa, causing Lisa to struggle to walk. Seeing this, the three children stretched out their hands to help. Just as they stretch
Rosalie slept throughout the entire journey to the hospital. She did not wake up until the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Byron hesitated for a while, but he still could not bear to wake her up. He instructed the driver to open the car door as he removed his jacket and draped it on her carefully. He got out of the car with her in his arms. It was late, and there were only people in the emergency department when they arrived at the hospital. Byron proceeded with the registration and carried Rosalie to the clinic. After they entered, Rosalie woke up leisurely. After a few seconds, she realized that she was still in Byron’s arms, and the doctor was sitting opposite. Rosalie's face flushed instantly at this realization. However, it was not obvious because of her fever. "Put me down!" She pushed Byron awkwardly. Byron was listening intently to the doctor's examination results and only realized that she had woken up when he heard her voice. He looked down at her
Byron was a very light sleeper, so when he heard a faint rustling sound in his half-conscious state, he frowned and opened his eyes.He was met with the sight of the person on the hospital bed, hand on their forehead. Clearly, they had already woken up."How do you feel? Are you burning up?" Byron got up and walked toward the hospital bed.Rosalie’s movements were slightly stiff as she slowly sat up on the bed and thanked him politely. "I feel much better, sorry for all the trouble tonight."At her estranged behavior, Byron’s eyes darkened. He reminded himself that the woman was still ill, so he suppressed his displeasure and said in a low voice, "Are you hungry? You didn't eat anything all night."She was fine when she did not have her mind on it, but at the mention of food, Rosalie could not help the feeling of emptiness in her stomach.Not only did she not eat anything all night, but she also did not have any appetite all day due to her fever, only having a few measly bites of food
After Rosalie finished drinking the chicken soup, Byron silently went over to help her adjust her bed. After clearing the bowl, he returned once again.Silence fell between them. Rosalie had slept all day and therefore could not fall asleep anymore. Nonetheless, she still closed her eyes, not wanting to interact with Byron.On the other hand, Byron was exhausted after a busy day. After sitting back down, he closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.The sound of even breathing could be heard in the silent ward.Rosalie slowly opened her eyes and glanced in Byron’s direction.The man's suit jacket was draped over her blanket as he himself wore only a thin dress shirt; his arms folded over his chest. It did not seem like he was having the most peaceful of slumbers.After deliberating for a moment, Rosalie cautiously stood up, took Byron’s jacket, walked over to him, and lightly draped it over his front.As she was standing back up, Rosalie caught sight of the man's handsome face, and
"Mommy, how are you? Has the fever subsided?" Lucian and Nox rushed to the bedside, concern evident on their faces.Rosalie smiled as she nodded. "Mhm, I'm feeling much better now."The two boys, still worried, reached out to feel her forehead.Seeing this, Rosalie leaned down compliantly and let the two boys touch her forehead.Just as she was about to sit back up, she caught sight of Estie standing behind Lucian and Nox. The little girl was biting her lips, her eyes glossy, and worry etched across her little face.Compared to Lucian and Nox, the little girl was more on the timid side.Rosalie’s heart softened at that, and she smiled at the little girl as she said, "Estie, do you want to come and check my temperature too?"Estie was stunned for a moment, then with an earnest nod, she let go of Lisa's hand and hurried over.Rosalie was still leaning over, and when she saw the little girl stretch out her hand, she reached out to grab the girl's wrist and guided it to her forehead.After
After finishing the chicken soup, Rosalie glanced at the time. She could probably still make it if she rushed to the research institute now."My fever has subsided. Lisa, could you please help me get discharged from the hospital? I still have work to do."Letting a senior such as Leon perform an operation had already delayed progress on the research institute’s side of things.Rosalie did not want their research progress to fall behind because of her.Lisa was hesitant. "Miss, you should stay in the hospital for another day to let them observe your condition. I understand how busy you are during this time, but your sudden bout of fever yesterday was no doubt due to overwork. Right now, the fever has just subsided, but you’re already in a hurry to go back to work again. I'm just afraid that your body won't be able to withstand all this."She had not spent a long time at Rosalie's house, but during that time, she had witnessed the immense amount of workload that Rosalie had to handle.If
