Rosalie left the room. Lowering her voice carefully, she said to the two little ones on the other end, "Be good. Mommy is still treating a patient and will go back a little later. You can play with your godmother first."The two were already used to their mommy coming home late because of work, so they agreed to what she said obediently.Meanwhile, in the room.The expression on Byron’s face was so cold it was practically freezing over, but anger surged in his heart.Estie’s empty hand and the yell of ‘Mommy’ that came from the phone appeared in his mind repeatedly.No wonder she had been so cold when she saw Estie.It turned out that this woman was already married and even had children with another man!That was why she abandoned the child all those years!He looked down at his daughter who was still standing there.The little girl could not hide the look of loss on her face. When she saw the woman head out, she still looked up and stared at the door longingly, waiting for he
When Byron saw this, his expression became even more sullen. "What do you have to say to her? It's best to pretend that you don't know her and not have any contact with her when you meet her in the future."Since the woman had no intentions of acknowledging her daughter, he simply was doing what she wanted!Estie got frightened by her daddy's tone. She was stunned for a few seconds before she reluctantly frowned and wrote in her little notebook: [Why?]Without waiting for Byron to answer, she quickly added: [I like the lady very much. She’s very kind and gentle to me. I want to be with her!]The little girl's straightforward liking distressed Byron, but she had to face the truth. With a blank expression, he said, "That's because she already has her own children. She doesn't need another child."Hearing this, Estie's eyes were filled with confusion.She knew about the two brothers, but the beautiful lady still treated her very well. Her daddy, however, seemed to hate her. Seei
The process of taking out the needles was much simpler compared to putting them in.10 minutes later, all the needles on the old master's body had been removed.Rosalie simply checked his pulse for a bit before calmly beginning to pack up her tools.Andrius and Andrea stood beside the sickbed, feeling very uneasy.They had found so many famous doctors before and it had all been in vain. They wondered if their grandfather would wake up this time…The slight curling of Old Master Quirke's fingers registered in their eager gazes.In the next second, the old master slowly opened his eyes. He frowned and coughed weakly."Grandpa!"Andrius hurriedly sat down to help the old master. There was shock but also delight in his eyes.Andrea was too shocked to even speak.She never believed that woman, but her grandfather had actually woken up after the woman treated him."Grandpa, how are you feeling?"Andrius asked with concern after the old master stopped coughing.The old master n
What Andrius meant was obvious.Although she had not taken the initiative to mention the supply of medicinal materials, he was aware of her purpose and had even intended to take the initiative to talk to her about it.Rosalie, however, hesitated as she did not dare accept the reward without merit.After all, the Quirke family did announce in the beginning that they would sell the medicinal materials at half the price only if Old Master Quirke was cured.She did not respond for a long time, and Andrius just stood there while he looked at her with a smile.Seeing this, Rosalie also smiled. "To tell you the truth, I did indeed come to treat Old Master Quirke when I heard from a friend that the Quirke family would sell their medicinal materials at half price to the doctor who can cure him. But Old Master Quirke has only just woken up now, and the particulars of his situation aren’t clear. I don’t think it’s time to discuss compensation with the Quirke family, not until the old master'
Having gained her word, Andrius replied with a smile, “Since this is your answer, I'm relieved. I'll prepare the contract tomorrow. Then we’ll just need to sign it."Rosalie nodded in agreement.After discussing the compensation, Andrius personally escorted her to the door and watched her drive away.Watching her car drive off, Andrius then turned back into the house and called Byron."How’s Old Man Quirke?"Byron’s voice rang out along with the sound of flowing water the moment the call connected.Andrius smiled and answered, "He’s awake. Dr. Jacobs is indeed quite skilled."Saying that, he recalled the strangeness between Byron and Rosalie just now and asked curiously, "Byron, have you met Dr. Jacobs… before? I kept feeling that the atmosphere between you two to be somewhat off, and I haven't seen you treat other women like that."She was heckled earlier, and he spoke up for her.At first, Andrius had actually thought that Rosalie was a fraud.Seeing Byron coming forward to
The two of them chatted briefly, but as it was late, Mary then said her goodbyes and left.The two little ones followed Rosalie around the room like they were her tails.After cleaning up a bit, Rosalie then had the time to turn around and care for them."Did you guys have fun at kindergarten today? Did you guys get into trouble with the other children?"The two little ones carefully recalled their time and nodded hard. "It was quite pleasant. When school was over today, the children stuffed us with a lot of snacks!"Hearing this, Rosalie could not help laughing. "Are you two so popular?"Nox nodded solemnly. He looked at Lucian beside him and said, "There was a girl today who said that she wants to marry Lucian when she grows up!""Really?"Rosalie looked at her son with amusement.Lucian was stunned for a moment before he glanced at his brother, ears slightly red. "There was one, but I didn't promise her."Nox pinched his ears and made a face at him.Seeing the little ones
She felt regretful about her best friend being the one who helped her fetch her children the past two days.After dealing with work in the morning, Rosalie took the time to go to the Quirke household in the afternoon, thinking that she could pick up the two little ones by herself in the evening.When she arrived at the Quirke household, she checked Old Master Quirke's condition. Confirming that there were no complications, she continued with the treatment process and inserted the needles.While she was extracting the needles later on, Andrius came in with a document. "Dr. Jacobs, this is the contract prepared. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, you can sign it."This was what they had agreed on last night. Rosalie was not surprised either. She accepted it and looked it through carefully before leaving her signature. After signing the contract, Andrius' attitude toward her became even friendlier. "From now on, we’ll have a working relationship. However, I still have to t
Rosalie nodded noncommittally. She held the boys’ hands and headed over to greet the teacher.Just as they were about to leave, her eyes unconsciously fell onto the little girl again. Noticing that the three of them seemed to be leaving, Estie hurriedly stood up from the slide and looked at them straight.The teacher who had been at the side was afraid of her falling. She quickly reached out and grabbed her."She’s..."Rosalie hesitated for a moment but could not stop herself from worrying.The two had already guessed what she wanted to ask and rushed to answer, "Mommy, she also goes to school here and is in the same class with us! Her parents haven't arrived to pick her up yet today, so she was waiting here with us!"Rosalie nodded with understanding. She glanced at the little girl in front of her and went soft, but she did not intend to stay.After all, it was likely that it was either Byron or Wendy who would be coming to pick her up later.She did not want to see either o
