Rosalie helped Justin onto the bed, and he lay down.
Rest well. You can stay here as long as you need to recover.
She took the blanket and put it over him.
Justin, how long were you waiting outside my door?
Justin smiled faintly. Not too long.
In reality, he had waited for several hours. However, knowing she was busy, he didn’t want to disturb her, so he waited quietly on his own.
Why didn’t you call me beforehand? If you had, I would have come back earlier.
Despite his injuries, he had been waiting at her door. She felt he must have waited for quite a while.
I planned to come after my wound healed, but I wasn’t sure how long that would take. I wanted to tell you about this as soon as possible because I was worried about you. I needed you to think about whether there was anyone suspicious around you.
I can’t think of anyone suspicious… Oh, by the way, Theodore lied to me earlier, saying he had stomach cancer. I really believed him. Later, I received an email with his medical report. I don’t know who sent it.
Can I take a look at that email? Justin asked.
Of course. Give me a moment. Rosalie got up to fetch her phone.
After a while, she returned, pulled up the email, and handed her phone to Justin.
Justin glanced at its content and frowned. I can look into the sender for you and see if we can find anything.
Great. Please help me check. I’m really curious about who sent that email and how they got my email. After hearing what you’ve been through, this email might even be related to that person.
If that was the case, it could clear Theodore of suspicion.
Justin nodded lightly. Rose, don’t trust anyone too easily. Be cautious, even with me, alright?
Rosalie wanted to say she trusted Justin, but to reassure him, she nodded. Alright, I’ll be cautious from now on with everyone I meet.
Justin was about to tell her to get some rest when Rosalie’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen, and saw that it was Theodore calling. I’ll take this call, Rosalie said. Hello?
Rose, I’ve arrived at the hotel.
Good. Rest early, she said. By the way, you didn’t eat dinner tonight. Have something to eat before you sleep, but not too much.
Alright, I’ll grab a bite before bed.
At that moment, Justin suddenly coughed into his fist. A sharp, intense pain flared up from his wound. He furrowed his brows, turned to his side, and covered his
mouth with his hand.
Hearing someone coughing, Theodore frowned. Why do I hear a man’s voice?
Justin came to see me and is staying over. He’s sick.
Rosalie didn’t plan to hide it from Theodore. There was no reason to. After all, she and Theodore were no longer involved. She felt no guilt in her actions.
On the other end, Theodore fell silent for a long time.
If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. I need to wash up and get some sleep, Rosalie said.
Alright. Sleep well. Theodore didn’t hang up immediately but waited instead.
A few seconds later, Rosalie ended the call herself.
Sorry about that, Justin said. My throat felt itchy all of a sudden, and I couldn’t hold it in.
He pressed his fist against his lips and coughed a few more times. He had tried to suppress it, but the urge was too strong.
It’s alright. It doesn’t matter if he knows you’re here. If he really did try to harm you, I’ll make sure to stop him.
Maybe it wasn’t him, Justin said.
The email you received seems like it was meant to drive a wedge between you and Theodore. If the person who sent it is the same one who tried to kill me, then this wasn’t Theodore’s doing.
We don’t know anything for sure yet. Whether it’s him or not, we need evidence first. For now, you should rest, Rosalie said.
Okay, Justin said, watching Rosalie as she left the room.
