Yerick was being discharged today, and Rosalie had been bustling around early in the morning to take care of all the paperwork and arrangements for him.
Rosalie walked Yerick to the hospital entrance. Though he was being discharged, he still needed time to recover and would require someone to look after him.
She had already covered the cost of a caregiver to assist him until he was fully healed.
At the hospital entrance, the car Rosalie had arranged was waiting. She released the wheelchair and moved to stand in front of Yerick.
Yerry, Chloe will take you home for now. She’ll be there to take care of you, so don’t worry.
Rose, thanks so much. I promise I’ll pay you back.
There’s no rush. Just focus on recovering. Don’t think about the rest for now.
Thanks, you’re so nice to me, Yerick said, his eyes brimming with tears; he looked as if he might start crying.
Come on, Yerry. Don’t cry, or I’ll have to punch you, Rosalie said, patting him gently on the head. You need to focus on getting better.
Yerick nodded vigorously. Yes, I understand. I’ll work hard. Once I start earning money, I’ll buy you a big house. I won’t hire a servant; I’ll take care of you myself. I’ll help you get dressed, bring you water, make your bed, and-
Alright, alright, Rosalie interrupted, you’re getting carried away.
Carried away? I’m serious, Yerick insisted earnestly. I really want to buy you a beautiful big house.
Rosalie smiled helplessly. Alright, then. I’ll wait for you to buy me that big house. For now, focus on getting healthy. Your health is the most important thing.
Yerick nodded with determination. Okay, I’ll listen to you.
After seeing Yerick off, Rosalie went back inside the hospital.
In the car, Chloe couldn’t help but ask, Is that the girl you told me about?
Yes, Yerick confirmed with a nod.
Chloe seemed to sense something. Do you have feelings for her?
It was pretty clear they weren’t just siblings or friends.
Yerick put his finger to his lips, whispering conspiratorially, Shh, keep it quiet. Don’t let anyone else hear. It’s a secret.
Chloe nodded. Got it. But I heard her husband is also in this hospital.
Yes, Yerick said, sounding
displeased. She’s been taking care of him all
We time. It’s so frustrating.
With all his money, can’t he find
someone else to look after him?
Seeing the jealousy in Yerick’s expression, Chloe found him rather endearing. It seems like shes quite popular. I think I saw her talking to another man in the hospital O before-things seemed pretty tense.
Yerick’s face darkened immediately. That’s her ex-husband. He’s always bothering her. It’s so annoying.
Wow! She must be something special to have two handsome men around her.
Handsome? What’s the use of being handsome? Yerick suddenly turned, his voice harsh. It doesn’t do any good. They only make her life

miserable. Being handsome doesn’t put food on the table. A splash of
acid would reveal their true selves!
If he wanted, he could make them disappear without a trace! These superficial admirers were a bunch of idiots!
Chloe stared at him, stunned.
Seeing the shock in Chloe’s wide eyes, Yerick suddenly burst into laughter. Haha, look at you, so easily frightened. Just a little scare, and you’re all flustered.
Chloe exhaled in frustration. You really shouldn’t scare me like that. You know I’m easily startled.
