Rosalie smiled and answered, “Mary is worried. She asked about my condition.”Byron nodded and sat by the bed as he mentioned casually, “One of the doctors was missing when I was back. Did he tell you where he was going?”Rosalie’s smile froze.She did not expect Byron to notice such a slight difference.What did not occur to her was that he would even care about that.After a momentary shock, Rosalie remained calm and said, “I’m not sure about that. It’s fine as long as someone is outside. It won’t make any difference even if one is missing.”Then, she continued helplessly, “I’m awake now. There’s no need for so many experts to guard outside. Tell them to get some rest.”Byron took out an apple from the bag and peeled the skin. However, he looked worried.According to what he knew about Rosalie, she would not request to eat something sweet when she just recovered from her illness or ask him to get something from a store that far.He knew she needed some space, yet he had no i

“You’re just getting better and haven’t fully recovered.”Byron’s eyebrows were knitted, and he disagreed.Rosalie patiently explained, “I know what I’m doing. I can get out of bed and walk now.”The two were in a standoff.After debating for a while, Byron compromised. “You can’t leave the hospital. If you’re worried, I can ask Luther to bring them to the hospital.”Rosalie hesitated upon hearing that suggestion. “They’ll know I’m ill if they come here.”She did not want to worry the kids..Byron pondered momentarily and suggested, “Just say you got a cold and fever after getting off the plane, and I asked you to go to the hospital. They’re kids and won’t know much.”Rosalie did not think it was a good idea. However, she agreed since Byron had said so.Byron called Luther immediately.Luther had just sent Mary and Chloe back. Just as he parked the car below the hospital, he got a call from Byron.“Sir, I’ve driven Miss Lincoln and Miss Wilson back home.”Luther reported as

Rosalie looked at the kids’ worried expressions and felt sad. She looked away, trying not to cry.“I asked Uncle Luther to bring you here because I don’t want you to be worried. You can rest assured since you’ve seen that I’m just fine. If you stay back and get a fever, I’ll be worried.”Nox was reluctant to leave.Lucian spoke out, “Let’s go back. Mommy, please take good care of yourself.”Nox and Estelle said nothing more no matter how reluctant they were since their eldest brother had decided.Rosalie felt relieved and smiled as she nodded. “Okay. I’ll take good care of myself and go back home soon.”“Don’t forget to answer our calls!” Lucian stated his condition.Rosalie knew the kids were worried sick about her since they had lost contact with her for two days. She felt terrible and agreed readily.Getting her promise made the kids feel more at ease, and she gave in. They reluctantly let go of her hands.Rosalie did not dare to look at them. She quickly diverted her gaze

Rosalie was still awake when Byron returned to the hospital.He quickened his pace when he saw the bright lights in the ward."Why aren’t you resting?" With a little worry in his eyes, he looked at the woman on the hospital bed who was lost in her thoughts.Rosalie came back to her senses upon hearing his voice. She pursed her lips and smiled. "I've been sleeping for three to four days straight. I can't sleep anymore."Then, she asked about the children, "How are the kids? Are they asleep?"Byron said, "I came here only after I made sure they were asleep."Rosalie felt relieved. Her heart ached as she looked at him. "You look almost as bad as me. You should’ve slept well at home tonight."For those who were unaware, one might think Byron was the one who was critically ill, judging from the look on his face.He heard this, subconsciously wiped his face, and frowned indifferently. "I’ve had several sleepless nights before over some business discussions in the past. This isn’t a b

‘Rosalie? Isn't she with Byron? Why didn’t Byron answer my call? Why is Rosalie calling instead?’Xander was full of suspicion. The phone rang for a while before he picked it up."Awake already, Miss Jacobs?"On the other end, Rosalie's voice was full of anger."Xander, I overestimated you. As the heir to the Lancer family and as a doctor, I never imagined you'd use your medical skills to poison me! Aren't you ashamed of abusing the Lancer family's century-old legacy?"Xander's eyes turned cold from her condemnation. The corners of his lips slowly curled up. "You’re still able to throw accusations at me. You seem quite energetic!"Rosalie shot back coldly. "It's all thanks to you!"Xander narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered. "Since you know that I did it, then you should know that your life is still in my hands! You'd better be polite to me!"Then, he asked in a cold voice, "Where is Byron? Put him on the phone!"Rosalie refused without hesitation. "He has nothing to say to
