"Speaking of which, how did you hurt your foot?"On the way back, Xander asked in a puzzled manner.Rosalie felt a strange feeling in her heart as she thought of how her foot got injured. However, when she spoke, her tone was cool and indifferent. "It’s nothing. I went for a trip two days ago and was accidentally scratched by a conch."Xander, who was not clear about the entire story, could not help finding it funny when he heard her reason. "I didn't expect that a person like you who’s so strict during work would be so careless in private that you’d be scratched by a conch."Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. "What can I say? I’m surprised myself."The two of them were talking and laughing all the way.The car slowly stopped in front of Rosalie's house, and Xander got out of the car and helped Rosalie.The two were still chatting about interesting medicine practices, and their faces were full of smiles.The smile on Rosalie's face did not fade until a cold voice suddenly soun
Xander was also a well-known childe and frowned slightly when he heard Byron speaking to him in such a tone. He more or less felt some displeasure deep down.However, since he was at the door of someone else's home, Xander still maintained his demeanor. He turned to look at Rosalie and asked her for her opinion.Rosalie agreed that Byron's tone was disrespectful, but she also knew that if things were to continue like this, Byron would only cross the line even more.Aware of Xander's gaze, Rosalie said apologetically, "Thank you for sending me back, but it might not be convenient for you to come in and have a seat today. I’ll definitely thank you next time."After she said that, Byron’s brows raised slightly and he immediately reached his hand out to support her other arm.Xander naturally respected her suggestion. Hearing this, he just nodded with a smile. "It's nothing. Since you’re injured, let's just talk about the partnership over the phone for the time being."Rosalie respon
Byron’s expression improved a little with that, and he helped her into the villa.Lisa and the boys had not returned yet, and there were only the two of them in the villa. Rosalie could not help feeling very awkward. She was about to ask her guest to leave when the man's voice rang in her ears again."I'll take a look at your injury."Rosalie saw Byron crouching down slowly in front of her after he said that.Noticing the man's intention, Rosalie frowned and refused. “There’s no need. My injury is fine. I’m well aware of it myself."Saying that, Rosalie wanted to take her foot back.However, due to the injury on her feet, it was really inconvenient for her to move, and there was no room for her to hide on the sofa.The moment she retracted her foot by an inch, the man grabbed her ankle."Don't move. Your wound just so happens to be on the sole of your foot. If you’re not careful, the wound will split open. Not to mention you didn't follow the doctor's orders today and went walk
On the other hand, Wendy had been staying in the hospital for nearly a month and was finally able to be discharged.During this period of time, Byron only went to the hospital to accompany her for a few days in the beginning after Melody requested him to do so. He never showed up again after that.Even when Wendy had taken the initiative to contact him several times, Byron always used work as an excuse to reject her request.Not to mention, two days ago, a parent and friend from the kindergarten visited her and told her that Byron and Rosalie had co-starred in a Sleeping Beauty stage play. They showed her photos of the two of them starring in the stage play.In the photo, Byron was dressed as a prince and was looking at Rosalie who was on the wooden bed from a distance.As the friend swiped the screen, the photos that followed appeared one by one in front of Wendy's eyes.She saw the distance between the two of them getting closer and closer. In the end, Byron was sitting at the
After reaching the Fuller household, Melody escorted Wendy into the house, exchanged a few words with Magdalene, and then left.Both mother and daughter watched Melody leave before turning around and heading back into the villa."How are you? Does your arm still hurt?" Magdalene looked at her daughter's injured arm nervously.Magdalene rarely visited her during this time to allow the relationship between her daughter and Melody to improve, but she had been very worried.Wendy shook her head, her irritability visible on her face. "It's all right now. I'll go up first."After saying that, she turned around and strode upstairs.Looking at her daughter’s back, Magdalene frowned in confusion.After a while, she heard the door slamming from upstairs.Hearing this, Magdalene was even more confused. She did not know why her daughter was in such a bad mood just after being discharged from the hospital.On the other end, Wendy locked herself in her room. After thinking about it, she sti
"I would have asked you to stay for a meal, but Lisa isn’t back yet and things are inconvenient for me due to my foot, so never mind.” Rosalie steeled herself and continued to chase him away. "I reckon you’re also very busy. Since you have other things to attend to, don't waste your time with me here."As soon as she said that, she felt the anger in the man's eyes about to materialize. She felt her heart tense and did not know what he would do in the next second.Byron just stared at her for a long time before sneering inexplicably, "Did you see it?"As for what she saw, they both knew it very well.Rosalie's eyes narrowed slightly. She was silent for a moment and then said bluntly, "It must be something important since Miss Fuller is looking for you at this hour. You should go quickly.""What will you do if I go look for her?" Byron asked in a deep voice.Rosalie felt a strange feeling in her heart.Wendy was Byron's fiancée and someone he had liked for so many years.How co
The two stayed in the living room for some amount of time when Rosalie's cell phone rang.It was Lisa’s number.Rosalie brought her hand up to answer it."Miss Jacobs, have you gone back? If you haven't, we'll go look for you."Lisa's voice rang out the moment it connected.Hearing this, Rosalie replied in a low voice, "I'm already home. You can come back directly with the children."On the other end of the call, Lisa's voice sounded a little embarrassed, "On another note, President Lawrence's assistant said that he wants to go back with us..."Estelle had not been picked up yet when she came to pick up Lucian and Nox.The two boys insisted on waiting for Estie to leave before they were willing to go back, so Lisa had to accompany them.Unexpectedly, when Luther finally arrived, he said that he would be going back with them.Lisa could not make a decision, so she could only call Rosalie.Hearing this, Rosalie subconsciously glanced at the man beside her.Byron did not seem
Seeing this, Rosalie felt her heart hurt for a moment. She touched the little girl's head and said softly, "I went out today and the wound accidentally opened. It's all right now."Estie's eyes were already red. "Does it hurt real bad?"Rosalie's heart softened. "It doesn't hurt. I don’t even feel anything."After saying that, Rosalie looked up and glanced at the man sitting beside her before switching the topic to him. "Besides, your daddy was also very careful when he bandaged me. You can ask him if my injury is serious or not."The little girl set her sights on Byron, waiting for him to answer.Seeing that the woman had actually brought him up of her own accord, Byron could not help raising a brow. He nodded to the little girl noncommittally. "She’ll recover soon as long as she gets a good rest later.”The little girl still trusted her daddy's words. Hearing what her daddy said, the little girl sniffled and nodded obediently.Rosalie had wanted to let the little girl know tha
