Come to think of it, humans are complex creatures. Who can say that they never had a wicked thought come to mind? Perhaps Sebastian was reckless and overwhelmed by anger at that time.
What’s more, if Sebastian were really so wicked and sinister, he wouldn’t have admitted his mistake to her so quickly. He confessed, which meant that he felt guilty about it and knew that it was wrong.
Making a mistake isn’t frightening. What’s frightening is refusing to change despite knowing one’s mistake, and Sebastian was trying to rectify his mistake so quickly after the incident. Although she was furious, the anger was quickly subsiding.
Rosalie eventually sighed, and said, Alright, I got it.
So… Have you forgiven me? Sebastian asked anxiously.
Rosalie pondered for a moment before saying, I haven’t digested this yet. It’s completely overturned what I know about you. Give me some time. Will you leave me? That was his greatest fear.
Seb, I won’t leave you. Don’t worry. I won’t change my attitude toward you because of this. I understand how you felt at that time. You must have been so angry, those wicked thoughts came to mind. But you’re willing to admit your mistake, and it’s not too late to change. Theodore was also at fault for provoking you in the first place. He started it first.”
Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief at Rosalie’s words.
Rose, I can apologize to him.
No need, Rosalie said. Although you were at fault in this, he was partly responsible too. He clearly won’t apologize to you, though. I’ll talk to him about this. You don’t need to look for him, or he might push his luck and climb all over you.
No matter what, Rosalie felt that this incident happened because of herself. She would be the one to resolve the issue.
Rose, thank you for being so understanding. I won’t do this again. I’ll listen to you.
Despite the mistake Sebastian committed, Rosalie couldn’t bear to blame him, what with the genuine regret he seemingly felt.
She patted his arm gently. It’s alright. It’s good that you know your mistake. Everyone makes mistakes.
Upon seeing the tears rolling down his cheeks, she wiped them away with a napkin.
Don’t cry, you’re just like a child. It’s alright. It’s good that you admitted your mistake and confessed it to me of your own accord. I’m very glad about, it and I won’t blame you.
Taking the initiative to admit his mistake was way better than her finding out the truth. That would only drive a wedge between them and weaken her trust toward him.
Whether it was for the better or worse, as long as he made things clear and aboveboard, everything was salvageable.
In a bid to change the subject, Rosalie said, Oh yes, Seb. I wanted to tell you something, but I’m not sure if you’d be interested.
What is it? Sebastian asked.
Rosalie pulled him over. Sit down first.
Sebastian nodded, and settled down on a chair. Rosalie then told him about the overseas medical institution.
He remained silent after hearing her out.
I can send you the information, and
you can make the decision. I’ll respect your decision whatever it is. Go if you want to, don’t go if you don’t want to. I won’t force you, Rosalie said.
Rose, I know you won’t force me, but I have a question to ask you.
What is it?
“Tell me the truth. Do you want me to go there for treatment?
Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded and said honestly, If you ask me, of course hope you’ll go there for treatment I spent an entire night reading through the report, and I think the institute is very suitable for you.
