Rosalie held the rings tightly in her hands and put them at her chest, sobbing, “Justin, Justin…”
She collapsed on the bed, dissolving into tears.
“Rose, I know you’re in a lot of pain, but I want you to know that you still have me and your son. Don’t you want to see Steve? He really missed you.”
The mention of Steve made Rosalie come alive, but only for a split second.
She gripped her collar tight. “I need some time to be alone. I don’t want him seeing me like this.”
She didn’t want to scare her son. She was afraid that she might break down before Steve.
“Okay. If you need me to be by your side, just call me.”
Rosalie shut her eyes and curled up into a ball, ignoring Theodore’s offer.
Theodore sighed and pulled the sheets up over her before leaving the room.
When he was walking down the corridor, his phone started buzzing in his pocket. He pulled it out of his pocket and answered the call.
“Mr. Spencer, we’ve dealt with Sebastian’s corpse.”
Theodore clenched his fists so tight, his knuckles cracked. The image of Sebastian’s body being torn to pieces replayed countless times in his mind.
Sebastian had a way too easy death. Compared to the pain he inflicted on Rose, he didn’t experience it a hundred-fold.
“Mr. Spencer, there is one more thing. One of Sebastian’s subordinates revealed something to us. We dug out some things based on what he told us.”
“What are they?” Theodore asked.
“Some bones. Sebastian’s subordinate said that they were remnants of Justin’s corpse.”
Theodore said with a sigh, “Get those bones tested and verify if they really are Justin’s bones. If they are, we’ll keep them.”
After Sebastian’s death, it seemed as though everything had drawn to a close. Christopher didn’t say anything further, either.
Sebastian had hurt Rosalie grievously and she was also a member of the Jackson family. Sebastian, on the other hand, had nothing to do with the family.
Sebastian’s death was covered up very well. He was claimed to have died suddenly due to an infectious disease and had to be cremated immediately.
The only one who couldn’t accept the story was Geoffrey. Sebastian was his biological son, after all.
Theodore knew that Geoffrey
wouldn’t let the matter rest, so he started preparing to deal with hime with Christopher’s help. The Jacksons knew best how Geoffrey made his fortune. Geoffrey ended up getting investigated; with solid proof, he faced life imprisonment and had no way of stirring up trouble.
Yvonne was heartbroken to hear of her brother’s death. She didn’t know what happened except that Sebastian had left the country,
contracted an infectious die, net
and died. She was well-sheltered through it all.
Rosalie was kidnapped by Sebastian for one whole month.
Yet, those hellish days felt like years to her.
She had been rescued for two weeks, during which she locked herself up in her room, not leaving it and not speaking.
At night, she would always jolt awake from her nightmares, tears streaming down her face. Her shrieks were loud enough to wake Theodore, who was in the room next door, up.
Theodore would jump out of bed, rush into Rosalie’s room and hug her.
Rosalie would then cry for hours in his arms until she got so exhausted, she would fall asleep in his arms. However, she would subsequently get woken up by her nightmares again.
She was physically fine, but the problem lay with her heart.
Theodore sought the help of a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist said that she suffered so much and was traumatized, causing her
to isolate herself. Under such circumstances, she shouldn’t be agitated or
provoked.
Even comforting words proved futile
with her. The only thing Theodore
could do
was to rush over to her and
Ine
hug her whenever she woke up、 screaming from her nightmares, comforting her and coaxing ber white in his arms, staying by her side all night.
He didn’t dare to bring Steve in. It would feel like emotional blackmail, forcing her
to walk out of her trauma on account of her child. He didn’t want to force her like
that.
Theodore didn’t know when Rosalie would recover, but he knew that he would stay by her side forever. He would never let her get hurt again.
