Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Just at that moment, Rosemary’s phone buzzed, it was Caden who was calling. "Sorry, I gotta take this call." Rosemary got up and walked out of the ward.

"Rosemary, I heard you’re in the hospital?" Caden’s voice came through the phone.

"Anything up?" replied Rosemary casually.

"Grace woke up for a bit today," whispered Caden, "Only for a few minutes, but during those minutes, she was muttering your name...."

"She wanted to call you, but I stopped her."

"You know how her condition is, any excitement could cause trouble, so I had to stop her."

Grace was most concerned about Rosemary, and the first thing she did after waking up was to check on Rosemary. Even if Rosemary didn’t mention what Attlee and Olga had been up to behind her back, just hearing Rosemary’s voice would make Grace cry...

If she got too excited, she could lose her life, and all the previous treatment would be for naught.

"Are you still at the hospital? Why don’t you come and see her? Check out the medical report from today, too."

"Alright."

"I just finished a meeting, I’ll bring the report to find you."

"Okay." After hanging up, Rosemary headed towards Grace’s ward.

Grace was still unconscious, but her hand was tightly clutching a bracelet, the first thing Rosemary bought for her with her own money.

Rosemary gently held her frail hand, the person on the bed seemed to sense her arrival, her fingers moved slightly.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

The arriving Olga saw Rosemary, first stunned, then angrily said, "What are you doing here again? Who let you in? Are you hanging around here every day, waiting for the old lady to wake up and take you

back to the Harris family? Dream on!"

Attlee saw Rosemary, a complex look in his eyes. He didn’t expect this kid to be so persistent, sneaking into the hospital every day when they were hot around, just to stay in Summerfield.

It’s unnecessary!

She’s not a real child of Harris family!

"Attlee, I bet she’s using our daughter’s name to get in and out of the ward freely. You have to tell the nurse, she has no blood ties with our family. Our daughter is Yoli. They can’t let her in when they see

her."

Attlee had the same suspicion, otherwise why would she be able to come and go freely here? She must have told the nurse she’s a Harris, Grace’s own granddaughter!

Seeing Rosemary show no signs of leaving, Olga couldn’t help but yell, "What are you still doing here?

Get out! Do I have to kick you out?"

"The patient needs quiet," Rosemary stood up calmly, she wasn’t planning to stay long anyways. The old lady was about to wake up, her presence would only upset the old lady’s condition.

Watching Rosemary’s retreating figure, Olga got angrier. She happened to bring a bag today, she clutched the handle and suddenly hurled it at Rosemary’s back.

Just in that instant, Rosemary was pulled back by a hand, and the bag landed on the floor.

Olga saw who it was and both she and Attlee were very shocked, "It’s Dr. Caden?"

"So that’s how you treat the person who saved your mother’s life?" Caden’s handsome face was filled with coldness, even his eyes were very icy.

"Life–saver?" Olga and Attlee were taken aback, both turning to look at Rosemary. "Her?"

What’s so special about her?

"If it weren’t for her, there’d probably be a lot of dead bodies in the hospital by now!" Caden couldn’t take the family’s attitude anymore and retorted angrily. "Do you think Grace would be in this kind of ward without her? Do you think she’d get special care? Do you think she could’ve cheated death so many times?"

"Her?" Olga and Attlee were at a loss. What could Rosemary possibly have done? Didn’t the old lady get to stay in the VIP ward because of the Panter family? What did Rosemary have to do with anything?

Room 306.

Phillip was beyond pleased, a grin plastered on his face as he lavished praise on his granddaughter–in–law.

"Boy, you’ve really hit the jackpot with this one! You better cherish her, and if you dare mistreat her, I’ll be the first to object!"

"I know," Romeo replied tersely. He wasn’t much of a talker unless Rosemary was involved.

"With such a beautiful, young and medically knowledgeable wife, won’t there be lots of men chasing after her?" Phillip suddenly asked Brodie. "Do you think my grandson looks a bit old?"

Carl almost burst out laughing. Old? Mr. McMillian was only 22!

"They’re a match made in heaven... But, speaking of Rosemary, why hasn’t she come back yet?" Brodie checked his watch, "You don’t think she’s run into trouble, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Phillip immediately said, "Romeo, go check on her..."

As Romeo left the room, he saw a male doctor shielding Rosemary, like a father protecting his child.

"Isn’t that the doctor who helped Miss Rosemary the other day?" Carl, with his sharp eyes, recognized him right away. "That’s James Newton’s grandson Caden... What’s happening? Do you think Miss

Rosemary is in trouble? Is Dr. Caden helping her out?"

A feeling Romeo had never before experienced welled up inside him- a bitter, displeased feeling.

It was as if the person he was supposed to protect was being protected by someone else.

"It seems like Dr. Caden and Miss Rosemary have known each other for a while? He seems to really care

about her," Carl observed, then, sensing the palpable tension emanating from Romeo, he teased, "Mr.McMillian, you’re not... jealous, are you?"

Romeo replied coldly, "He’s just a doctor."

"Mr. McMillian, Dr. Caden and Miss Rosemary are both in the medical field. They have common ground,if..."

Before Carl could finish his sentence, Romeo started walking in their direction.

Didn’t Mr. McMillian say he wasn’t jealous? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Forget it." Rosemary didn’t want to waste any more time and started to leave..

Caden was indignant on her behalf. "You really should tell them who is responsible for Grace being alive today!"

"There’s nothing to say."

Rosemary left first, and an irritated Caden followed closely behind.

"What did Dr. Caden mean? Our mother is alive today because of our family and the Panter family, not Rosemary, right?"

Olga was utterly perplexed. As she watched them leave, she couldn’t help but say, "She didn’t pay nor contribute, what power does she have to bring an old woman back from the brink of death? This is absolutely ridiculous! Many doctors were at their wit’s end, but we paid for it, the Panter family provided Grace with a VIP hospital room, so that she is still alive!"

"Let it go." Attlee didn’t want to stir up a fuss. Being the richest dude in Tranquil City, he needed to keep a good public image and not cause a scene. But Olga speculated, "Did Dr. Caden step up for

Rosemary because he’s got a thing for her? I found it odd. His attitude towards us was so bad before,probably because of Rosemary..."

"Stop it. Let’s go in and see Mother."

"I don’t know when mom will wake up. I’ve already arranged for the will. Once she signs it, leaving her assets to us and Yoli, I can breathe easy..." "Keep your voice down!" Attlee glared back at her. "What,

are you hoping everyone hears?"

Olga quickly clamped her mouth shut and closed the door to the hospital room.

Rosemary had no idea why they were visiting. She turned to Caden and said, "I’ve got things to do. You can take off."

"What about Grace’s medical report..."

"If there are no special circumstances, you can read for yourself." "Okay."

Caden noticed a man waiting in front of them with short clean hair, tall figure, exuding an aristocratic aura.

Was that guy Romeo?

Ever since he saved Phillip, Rose seemed to get along well with this guy?

Romeo barely glanced at Caden and focused on Rosemary. He asked her in a soft voice, "Is there any trouble?" "Nope."

"If there’s anything, just let me know. I’ll help you out."

Rosemary looked up at Romeo’s serious expression and said lightly, "It’s nothing, just ran into two people. I’m going to see Grandpa."

"Okay."

Romeo’s gaze followed her into the room, then turned to Caden not far away.

Caden wasn’t sure if he should greet him. Even his grandpa was respectful towards this man..

Just as he was hesitating, Romeo withdrew his gaze and followed Rosemary into the room.

"Rose, you didn’t run into any trouble, did you?" Phillip asked with concern when he saw his granddaughter.

"None."

"If there’s anything, tell Romeo. He’ll help you out! If you’re not satisfied with his handling, you can come to me! I’ll back you up!". Rosemary looked at him and said, "Okay."

Before leaving, Phillip was reluctant to let go, reminding her over and over, "Rose, don’t forget our agreement. I’m getting discharged the day after tomorrow, you must come."

"I will."

After leaving the hospital, Rosemary asked about the condition of Romeo’s grandmother.

"She sustained a brain injury." Romeo replied solemnly, "Apart from being able to breathe and blink on her own, her other symptoms are similar to those of a vegetative state."

In simple terms, she was like a living plant.

Rosemary understood. She recalled a similar case she treated a long time ago. The patient had turned into a vegetable due to a brain injury.

Although the condition was finally controlled, it required a lot of medication. Some of the drugs were hard to find, and some even required sourcing from illegal areas beyond the border. All in all, treating

such patients was a big hassle and tough task.

"How about we have dinner together tonight?"

Rosemary checked the time, thinking that her parents were waiting for her at home. At this point, Romeo took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, it’s me. Rose and I are having dinner out tonight. Okay, I’ll take good care of her.""

Hearing his brief conversation and him hanging up, Rosemary thought, Did he even ask for my opinion?!"
