Chapter 23: Chapter 23

"Phillip will be awake tomorrow. For the next month, he needs to avoid overeating. So, no more nutritious soup like today’s," Rosemary said.

"Got it." Romeo agreed, glancing at the sky, "Let me treat you to dinner."

"No need. I should head home."

It was likely around six or seven o’clock now. Rosemary took her bag, checked her phone, and sure enough, she had missed two calls from her mom. Rosemary quickly returned the call, "Sorry, Mom, I was busy."

Romeo watched the girl on the phone. Her eyes sparkled, she carried an extraordinary aura, and her voice was soft and enchanting when talking to her family.

"Right, I’m heading home now Ok, bye."

After she hung up, Romeo softly said, "Let me drive you home."

"Just drop me off at Emerald Park. I have a car parked in the underground garage there."

Emerald Park?

That was a park still under construction; not yet open to the public. Why was her car parked there? And why was she at the Holy Cross Church later? To him, the girl in front of him was like a mystery, hard to

see through.

"I need to return these first." Rosemary had borrowed some acupuncture equipment from Caden’s office earlier, and he was on duty today, still in the office. After returning the acupuncture tools, Rosemary walked out of the office and passed by Grannie Grace’s room. She couldn’t resist stopping to take a peek inside.

Inside the room, Grannie Grace was still there, receiving an IV treatment. Her eyes were closed, and she looked peaceful in her sleep.

The sight triggered a fond memory from Rosemary’s younger days. She remembered an afternoon when she had seen Grannie Grace napping in a room, bathed in sunlight streaming through the curtains. The old lady’s breathing was calm and even, just like it was now.

Suddenly, Rosemary heard a voice calling her name, and she turned to find a surprised Olga and Attlee standing there. They had received a call from the hospital, alerting them that Grannie Grace’s VIP room was about to expire, prompting them to rush over after dinner to renew it. Little did they expect to encounter Rosemary at the hospital.

Olga was the first to regain her composure and wasted no time in questioning Rosemary, "What are you doing here? Haven’t you gone back to your biological parents? You can’t seriously be thinking of

begging Grace to let you stay in this city or, worse, come live at our house. Forget about it!"

Attlee was equally taken aback by Rosemary’s presence, asking, "Rose, what’s going on? Didn’t you go back with your family?"

Olga, with a disgusted expression, jumped to conclusions about Rosemary’s motives, "I bet she never really left! She probably heard about the harsh living conditions at home on her way back and couldn’t

bear it, so she ran back here to beg Grace for help!"

Frustrated, Olga urged Attlee to intervene, and he reluctantly stepped forward with a forced smile, attempting to resolve the situation, "Rose, can we talk? How much money do you want?"

Rosemary observed her once–close family members now showing their true colors and couldn’t help but feel a sense of amusement, her lips curling slightly.

They want to buy her off?

Seeing her silent, Attlee took a bank card out of his pocket. "Here’s a hundred thousand dollars. Take it.

The password is 123456."

"Attlee!" Olga was pained at his generosity, "Why are you giving her so much money?"

Attlee signaled Olga to be quiet. If they didn’t give Rosemary enough money, how would she agree to leave?

She had stolen Yoli’s expensive ruby necklace yesterday, and today she was getting a large sum of money. She would leave, right?

A hint of mockery flickered in Rosemary’s beautiful eyes as she looked at the bank card in his hand. She remained silent and didn’t react. "What? You think it’s too little?" Olga asked discontentedly, "I advise

you to be contént. Otherwise, you might end up with nothing!"

Attlee tried to shove the bank card into her hand, but Rosemary skillfully avoided it.

"What do you want? You want to wait for Grace to wake up and deceive her? Dream on!" Olga never thought Rosemary would be so difficult. "Let me tell you, from now on, you have nothing to do with

Grace! Stay away from us."

"One billion." Rosemary’s lips curled slightly, she said word by word, "I might consider it."

"You, you must be daydreaming!" Olga was so angry she nearly fainted. The girl’s first word was one billion, "Why don’t you rob a bank?"

"Robbing a bank isn’t as fast as robbing you guys."

"You, you..." Olga clutched her chest, never imagining the girl would be so cunning, "I won’t give you a penny!"

She grabbed the bank card back, "If you don’t leave, I’ll have you thrown out!"

"Oh, then call someone to throw me out."

"You, you... You’re killing me! This so–called VIP floor, letting anyone in..." Olga was about to go find staff.

"Rosemary."

Suddenly, a man’s voice caught their attention.

Olga looked up to see a man at the end of the corridor looking this way, apparently calling Rosemary’s name.

It was a tall man with a strong presence, even from this distance.

Rosemary heard the voice and looked towards it. Seeing Romeo waiting for her, she didn’t bother with the two any longer and turned to leave.

"Who is that man?" Olga looked curiously down the hallway. "Could he be her father? That’s impossible; her father’s voice couldn’t be that young..." "Maybe he’s her brother. She have five unmarried brothers. Wasn’t it mentioned earlier that her grandmother was sick? He could be staying in this hospital as well."

"Can they afford to stay here?" Olga watched them disappear at the end of the corridor and couldn’t help but ask Attlee, "Attlee, we must quickly transfer Grace to another hospital; otherwise, if Rosemary

gets attached to her, it’ll be a big problem!"

Attlee had the same thought, but within all of Summerfield, no other hospital had medical resources as good as Hope Hospital. Only here could Grace receive the best care.

"Grace likes her... I’m just afraid Grace will soften her heart and let her come back to this family!"

Olga recalled three months ago when Grace found out Rosemary wasn’t her biological granddaughter, her heart couldn’t take it and she fainted. Upon waking up, Grace sternly declared that as long as she was alive, Rosemary was not allowed to leave this family. Anyone who made Rosemary leave would be considered an enemy of Grace.

Later, when Yoli returned home, Grace didn’t show her any kindness either. Her heart and eyes were only for this unrelated little girl.

In order to protect Yoli and to help Rosemary find her home as soon as possible, without Grace Harris’s knowledge, the two of them posted Rosemary’s information on the family search site. One day, Rosemary’s

family finally called to say they wanted to take her home.

When Grace found out, she was so shocked that she had to be hospitalized.

During Grace’s absence from home, Rosemary smoothly left the Harris family.

"Grace is probably getting a bit senile in her old age. She treats a stranger better than her own granddaughter!" Olga complained, "Now I’m just worried that if Rosemary doesn’t leave, she might get

some improper ideas, like fighting Yoli over Zachary Panter..."

The Panter family was much better off than the Harris family!

Zachary was kind and sensible. He treasured Yoli and treated her very well..

Not only was Yoli beautiful, but she also had a gentle and kind personality, which was why she could firmly grasp Zachary’s heart.

"Attlee, shall we go and find our primary doctor, Dr. Caden, and ask him to arrange a transfer procedure for us?"

"We have no other choice, Attlee sighed.

"Let’s go." Rosemary followed behind Romeo, phone in hand, replying to messages one by one.

She had been to an auction in the afternoon, performed surgery on Phillip, and still had a lot of messages that she hadn’t replied to in time.

Just then, someone pushing a wheelchair came around the corner, nearly bumping into Rosemary.

Romeo pulled her to his side in one swift motion, "Be careful."

Rosemary reacted, her face flushing again. In the car, Romeo noticed that Rosemary seemed a bit listless.

So, he pulled over.

"Wait for me ȧ moment."

He got out of the car and walked into a dessert shop.

Not long after, he came out carrying several bags.

Inside were small cakes, bread, milk, juice and other things, as well as some cute–looking candies.

"Girls are supposed to like this stuff," he handed them over.

Having performed surgery on his grandpa for so long today, Rosemary was probably hungry.

As Rosemary was about to say something, looking at all the food in front of her, Romeo leaned in and opened a bottle of milk, sticking a straw in it for her. "Rosemary, I’m not hungry."

"Eat more." Romeo handed her the milk.

Rosemary took the milk and took a few sips. Even though it was pure milk, she didn’t expect it to taste a bit sweet.

On the other side.

"Dr. Caden, what do you mean the approval was denied?" Olga found Caden Newton, and as soon as she brought up the transfer, Caden’s face turned cold.

"Grace should stay at Hope Hospital in her condition."

"Isn’t there a better hospital?" Attlee couldn’t help but ask.

"Hope Hospital is the best hospital in the country."

"We know, everyone can see the medical standards of Hope Hospital, but..."

Before Attlee could finish his sentence, Olga stepped in, "Dr. Caden, we have no choice. If we don’t transfer my mother, I’m afraid someone will keep disturbing her and affect her recovery..."

Caden gave her a cold look. Was she talking about Rosemary?

Ungrateful indeed.
