Byron took out his phone and called Rosalie. “I’m at the research institute.”Rosalie did not hesitate to tell him the names of the herbs she needed from the other end of the call.The more he listened, the gloomier his face got.He understood the names of some of the common herbs.However, the rest confused Byron.Rosalie was too anxious that she only realized Byron might not recognize those herbs after telling him all the names.Rosalie forced herself to calm down and slowed down her pace. “Why don’t you ask Dr. Graham to take you to the warehouse?”Byron agreed. Then, he told Yves what he wanted in simple words, “The warehouse.”Then, Byron looked away.Yves sensed Byron’s cold attitude and frowned slightly as he led Byron to the warehouse.“I’m in the warehouse,” Byron told Rosalie he was in the warehouse.Rosalie frowned and pondered about how to explain to Byron where to get those herbs.When they stored the herbs, they did not consider situations where outsiders woul
Jealousy had corrupted Yves’ mind.He thought Rosalie called him because she had noticed something about the fire.However, he did not expect it was because of something like this.He had done so much, yet Rosalie did not care about him—not even a little.If that was the case, he did not mind teaching her a lesson.With that thought in mind, Yves took his time and slowed down his pace intentionally. He even dawdled by pretending there were mistakes in his calculations.Since Rosalie was in a hurry, he decided to let the party Rosalie wanted to cure suffer a little longer.Only then would Rosalie know who to look for if she needed help in expertise matters like this the next time. He was better than Byron in the medical field!“Aren’t you done yet?”Byron watched the minutes pass and frowned as he asked.Yves lifted his head and said calmly, “We have to be strict when portioning the herbs out. I have to weigh them accurately.”Byron pressed down the anxiety in him and frown
“I’m going to decoct the herbs.”Rosalie came back to her senses.However, as soon as she moved, Estelle, who had dozed off, subconsciously held onto her clothes.When little ones were ill, they would subconsciously hold onto someone who could make them feel secure.Apparently, Rosalie made Estelle feel secure.Aware of the little one’s grip, Rosalie was shocked. She did not put Estelle down. With Estelle in her arms, she took the herbs and got out of the car.“Please help me look after Nox, President Lawrence.”Then, Rosalie glanced at the little one leaning against the backseat with a worried look.Before Byron could agree, Lucian promised with his cute voice, “I’ll take good care of my brother!”Rosalie smiled at Luciana and carried Estelle to the tent.All their equipment was still there. It was the only place she could make medicine.Byron looked at Rosalie, who had walked away. Then, the little one in the car caught his attention.“Mommy...”The little one was in pai
Nox became nervous when he heard his brother’s voice.If their mommy knew they were already aware of who their birth father was and had been keeping it a secret from her, she might be sad.Rosalie did not have the mood to think so much.Although Rosalie hesitated to let the little boys know their birth father, she hid her thoughts when she heard Nox’s mutter.She was not ready yet.Rosalie secretly pinched the palm of her hand and looked at the man before her calmly.“Please hand Nox to me. I think he might be afraid.”Then, Rosalie approached Byron and handed Estelle to him, saying, “Estie wants you.”Byron’s forehead creased, and he thought that Rosalie was acting a little weird.However, he did not think much and exchanged kids with Rosalie.As if sensing Rosalie was leaving her, Estelle moaned in displease.Nox also frowned in disappointment.Rosalie looked at the shirt Nox had been grabbing onto subconsciously.It was a little crumpled.“Sorry, Nox—”Byron’s shirts
Although Lucian’s symptoms were not so obvious, Rosalie handed him a cup of medicine too.The little boy took the glass and looked at his Mommy with concern. “Mommy, aren’t you going to drink some?”He remembered that Mommy had drunk the water from his glass too.Hearing the little one’s words, Byron gazed at Rosalie deeply.He only knew that the little ones had drunk the water, but he did not realize that Rosalie had drunk it too.Moreover, she acted like she was okay.“I just took a sip of water. I’m fine,” Rosalie smiled, trying to comfort the little one with a smile.Lucian looked at Rosalie anxiously, then at Byron.Mommy might not listen to him, but she might listen to Daddy.Byron’s eyes met Lucian’s. He said, “Drink some, just in case.”He took a new cup from a disposable paper cup beside him and handed it to Rosalie.Rosalie had to take the cup and pour some medicine for herself.After drinking the herbal medicine in the cup, Rosalie carefully fed the medicine to t
Estelle understood what had happened and smiled as she nodded.“Did you have fun today?”Byron did not ask Estelle about her pain anymore. He asked about the camping experience to divert Estelle’s attention.Estelle’s attention diverted as soon as he mentioned the camp. “It was fun!”After that, as if she was afraid her daddy would not believe her, she started listing out the fun stuff they did.“Auntie gave me a beautiful wreath. We ate a delicious barbecue meal. Lucian and Nox gave me pretty pebbles...”It was like she had millions of happy memories to share.Compared to these things, the stomachache seemed like nothing!Byron’s gaze softened when he heard the little one telling him about her happy memories that day.Rosalie examined the little ones again.She had studied the bacteria before, so the herbal medicine she prepared was the correct remedy for the problem.After checking, Rosalie confirmed the little ones had recovered. Finally, Rosalie felt relieved and looked
Looking at their daddy’s back, the three little ones looked at each other. They were reluctant to let him leave.They managed to get the two adults to agree to spend the night here to create a chance for them to be together.However, their plan would not work if their daddy left the tent.Besides, Daddy was so big, and the compartment in the car was so narrow. It would be uncomfortable for him to sleep in there!The little ones tried to come up with something to make Daddy change his mind.At the same time, Rosalie looked at the man leaving and hesitated.“You can sleep with us here.”Looking at Byron, who was about to leave, Rosalie suggested.Byron stopped and turned around.Rosalie drooped her eyes and said, “The car is too small for you to sleep in. It would be uncomfortable. We have space in the tent. You can join us if you don’t mind, President Lawrence.”Although Rosalie did not want to face Byron all night, she knew it would be uncomfortable for Byron to sleep in the
After the little ones fell asleep, Rosalie turned off the small night light in the tent.The tent was dark, and Rosalie did not know whether the man on the other side had fallen asleep.However, Rosalie did not hear anything for a while, so Byron must have fallen asleep.With this in mind, Rosalie gently got up, walked out of the tent, and sat alone in the moonlight.The weather was great. The moon was bright, and the stars were sparkling.Byron had turned on his car’s headlights, and they shone the surrounding for safety purposes.Rosalie’s mind drifted as she looked at the landscape around her.So much had happened today.First, the little ones suddenly got infected with bacteria, and then she inexplicably ended up sharing a tent with Byron.Either way, Rosalie could not calm down.Just as her mind wandered, there was a noise behind her.Startled, Rosalie instinctively glanced back. She felt tense and was ready to defend herself.When she saw the man behind her, she gradu
