Lucian’s arm soon began itching too. The two little guys had no idea what was happening to them and stared at their mom in bewilderment. A guilty look flashed in Rosalie’s eyes when she noticed that the two little guys had gotten infected too. If she had closed the door properly just now, she would have noticed in time that the little ones were entering. Then, she could have stopped them from coming nearer in time and they would not have gotten infected… “Mommy, I feel horrible,” Nox said as he frowned and reached his hand out to scratch at his itch. Rosalie hurriedly said, “Don’t touch it.” She had just finished speaking when Byron reached over and grabbed the two little guys’ hands so they could not scratch themselves.He had been cautious of the fact that he was already infected just now, which was why he did not stop the little guys just now. He did not dare touch them. Now, there was no need to be cautious of that fact anymore since the little guys had also gotten i
“What’s wrong, Dr. Jacobs?” Yves had only fallen asleep when Rosalie’s call woke him up again. He answered the phone the minute he saw who was calling. Rosalie heaved a secret sigh of relief when she heard his voice. She did not even have the time to spare for small talk and cut straight to the chase. “Are you okay with heading to the research institute now?” Upon hearing that, Yves said up in bed and asked, “Is it for an important reason?” As he spoke, Yves did not even bother waiting for Rosalie to respond as he began changing. There had to be an important reason if she was calling him at this hour. However, he wanted to know the specifics of what had happened. Rosalie glanced at the three little ones inside the room and said somberly, “The children with me now are showing signs of allergic reactions caused by bacteria. The spray we created might help, but I can’t leave the kids now. I was wondering if you could help me out here.” Then, she added, “It’s alright if it’s
Rosalie’s phone rang an hour later. Yves had arrived. Rosalie headed downstairs so she could open the door. Byron and the little guys had been beside her, and they all heard a man’s voice on the other end of the line. Before Byron even said anything, the little guys took the initiative and urged him to go downstairs to take a look. Upon seeing how the little guys seemed to be in an even greater panic than he was, Byron nodded slowly and strode downstairs. “Thank you,” Rosalie said as she stood in the garden and took the spray from Yves. The disease was transmittable, and Rosalie was doing her best to maintain her distance from him. However, Yves had brought over quite a few sprays, and Rosalie was finding it difficult to hold them all.“I’ll help you bring them inside,” Yves suggested gently when he noticed her struggling. Rosalie turned his offer down without hesitation. “I’m sure you know too how highly transmittable this bacteria is. I already feel super guilty for aski
Thankfully, the spray they invented did not take long to show its effects. The little ones stopped feeling the itch almost immediately after getting sprayed. Now, they were only running fevers that had them feeling dazed. After spraying down the little ones, Rosalie turned to look at the man standing behind her as she handed the spray bottle to him and said, “Why don’t you deal with this in the bathroom, President Lawrence?” Byron nodded and took the spray bottle from her before heading into the bathroom. Rosalie unsealed another bottle and sprayed herself down while standing in the bedroom. Once she had taken care of herself, she sprayed the medicine in various areas of the bedroom and then sanitized the room with alcohol. Byron walked out of the bathroom just as she finished the sanitization process. When he saw Rosalie bustling about the bedroom, he frowned and walked forward to assist her. “You should take the kids out of here. No one should be in this bedroom for t
The two adults stared at each other after the children had settled down. The second floor was inhabitable, and there was only one guest room on the first floor. Lisa’s room was the only available room left. Rosalie was still wondering where Byron should spend the night when the man said, “I’ll make do on the couch.” He turned and walked out of the room when he finished speaking. Rosalie frowned slightly but then viewed the situation from a different perspective. There were only a few hours left before the sun would rise again, and they might not be able to get a good night’s sleep even if they did manage to fall asleep.Besides, she genuinely had no other rooms available for Byron to sleep in.These thoughts ran through Rosalie’s mind, and she did not say anything in reply as she quietly walked to the guest room and retrieved a thin blanket. Then, she walked back out and handed it over to Byron. The man took the blanket and said in his deep voice, “It’s late. You should hea
"Just what are you thinking?"Byron’s voice was a little hoarse.When he heard Rosalie come out of the room just now, he pretended to be asleep. In his hurry, he forgot that he had only covered himself halfway with the blanket. He did not actually expect the woman to come over and try to cover him up. He was still annoyed with this woman's relationship with other men just not long ago, but he felt his heart soften just now because of the tenderness the woman showed.Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she abruptly reacted and subconsciously lifted her hand to push back at him. However, she was hugged even tighter and was unable to struggle at all.Byron's voice continued in her ears. "When are you going to accept me?"Hearing these words, Rosalie was shocked and turned to look at the person close to her. Her brows were raised slightly and her tone lowered by a few notches, "Byron, you're not completely awake yet. Let me go!"The man sneered inexplicably. "You provoke
Hearing the man's words, Rosalie found it ironic. She raised her hand against his chest. "Thank you for your kindness, but I am afraid you won’t have this chance."After saying that, she exerted some strength through her hands and got up from his arms.To her surprise, the man actually loosened his arms according to her strength.Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to stand up straight, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled it hard in the direction of the sofa."Oh..." The man's unexpected action made Rosalie exclaim in a conditioned reflex.Her entire body fell into the man's lap in the next second. Byron’s hands were firmly on her waist, stabilizing her body.Rosalie glanced at the man around her in astonishment. Feeling slightly annoyed, she forced herself to speak calmly, "Thank you, President Lawrence, for helping me, but you can let go now."After she said that, she stretched her hand out for leverage to stand herself up.Unexpectedly, Byron h
Rosalie was taken aback and went still for a moment just as he said. She then reacted and struggled again.In the next second, she was pressed under the man's body."I already told you, yet you still moved." Byron leaned up to her, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "If you move again this time, I can’t guarantee what will happen."Looking at the man's face in front of her, Rosalie felt nervous for a moment and wanted to put up a fight but was worried about what Byron had just said.Just when she was at a loss, there were abrupt movements from the children’s rooms.Both of them inhaled.Hearing the children's footsteps getting closer to the door, Byron frowned sharply and let go of the woman in his arms before sitting back up expressionlessly.Rosalie was finally released from the man’s shackles, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the children’s room door opening.Thinking of the distance between Byron and herself now, Rosalie's heart constricted again. She
