"Martha, what do we do?" Serena was really freaked out!
Just now, from the looks of Rosemary, it’s obvious that Grandpa Phillip didn’t give her a hard time!
"Should we go in and check?" Martha also felt something was off, but she didn’t know what to say right now.
In the living room.
Romeo was shooting the breeze with Kenneth and Louisa; his eyes were constantly wandering towards Rosemary, sneaking a peek at her and engaging with her now and then. These little details didn’t slip past anyone’s eyes.
Serena was already jealous of Rosemary, especially seeing Romeo take extra care of Rosemary’s feelings.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, and her palms were filled with nail prints.
Just then, Louisa suddenly asked, "Rose, what are you wearing on your neck?"
Everyone’s eyes turned to Rosemary, only to see the crown necklace on Rosemary’s neck. Everyone was blown away when they saw this necklace.
Everyone except Serena was overjoyed, including Louisa, who asked, "Did Grandpa Phillip give you this necklace?"
"Yes." Rosemary didn’t explain much.
But Romeo gently added, "Gramps is very pleased with Rose; he even asked Rose to pick him up from the hospital in a couple of days." Kenneth and Louisa never expected Phillip to be so pleased with their
precious daughter; they were over the moon.
"Alright, when Phillip is discharged, let Rose know; you two can go pick him up together."
Serena was so jealous she could burst; she couldn’t understand why Grandpa Phillip would just hand over the crown necklace to Rosemary so easily! She had tried so hard to please Grandpa Phillip before, acting like a know–it–all in front of him, but even then, Grandpa Phillip never took out the crown necklace!
Rosemary only went today for a few hours, and Grandpa Phillip already liked her so much?
After chatting for a while, Romeo stood up to leave, he gently patted Rosemary’s head, "Go to bed early,don’t stay up late."
He said it like he was telling off a child.
Kenneth and Louisa had never seen such a tender side of Romeo, their hearts filled with joy once again, they didn’t expect their relationship to progress so quickly and smoothly.
Rosemary usually hated being touched, but today, Romeo had made her let her guard down time and time again.
"I should get going." Romeo looked into her eyes, his voice soft, "I’ll call you when I get home."
Serena couldn’t believe they had already exchanged phone numbers; she was steaming mad inside.
"Alright." Rosemary went upstairs to shower after they left.
Serena returned to her room; if it weren’t for Martha supporting her, she would’ve collapsed on the floor like a pile of mud!
"Martha, what should I do?" She had never felt so defeated in her life!
"Serena."
"Romeo is so into my sister; what should I do? How can I get Romeo to notice me?"
Martha thought of a plan in her heart, then said, "Don’t worry, her happiness won’t last long!"
On his way home, Romeo asked the driver in front, "Have you found Dr. Bell yet?"
"Not yet." Carl glanced at the rear–view mirror, naturally knowing what Mr. McMillan was thinking.
"Although rumors are swirling that Dr. Bell had passed away, a few insiders say he’s still alive; he just stopped treating patients! And his whereabouts are so mysterious, no one can find him; every time we’re close to finding him, he slips away!"
Romeo knew that if it were that easy to find him, he wouldn’t be Dr. Bell.
"Mr. McMillan, should we let Miss Rosemary give it a shot?" Carl glanced at the rear–view mirror, as if guessing his thoughts: "Miss Rosemary is a brilliant doctor; she’s already saved Phillip twice."
"Gramps’ condition is tricky."
Romeo didn’t want to put Rosemary in a tough spot, in case she didn’t know how to treat it or felt guilty for not being able to.
That’s not the outcome he wanted to see.
"You keep searching for Dr. Bell’s whereabouts."
"Yes"
Rosemary had just returned to her room when her phone buzzed with a new message.
Someone’s been asking around for Dr. Bell. Apparently there’s a really complicated case that needs
’Dr. Bell’s’ help urgently.]
Rosemary replied immediately: "Busy, no time."
Tomorrow was Monday, and she had to check on the company her father had given her. If she didn’t, they would just transfer her more money.
[The other party is loaded. They say they’ll pay whatever it takes just to get ’Dr. Bell.]
The message was sent, but Rosemary had already logged off.
She headed into the bathroom for a shower. As soon as she got dressed, her phone rang.
The screen displayed a strange number, but she answered without a second thought, as if it were just business as usual.
"Attlee has cost us a fortune! We’ve lost so much! So much! I wish I could go give his family a piece of my mind. I really want to know how they managed to raise such an idiot! A while ago, he wanted to invest in some projects. I practically laid out a roadmap for him; I almost handed him the money on a silver platter! But no! He not only lost everything but dragged us down with him! If this keeps up, you won’t even see me anymore! I’m going to die from frustration!"
The one speaking was Jack, who had been with Rosemary for three years, always faithfully by her side.
Rosemary paused midway while drying her hair. Lost a lot of money, huh? Attlee really was an idiot. How many times had this happened now?
