Rosalie lowered her head, and caressed her belly. What if… What if he doesn’t call me?
A glimmer of determination flashed in Sebastian’s eyes as he said sadly in her ear, If he doesn’t call you, it means he really doesn’t want the child. Rosalie’s tears fell immediately.
Feeling her body tremble, Sebastian quickly pulled her into an embrace. Don’t cry. I’m sorry. I’m clumsy with words. I really believe he will call you. How could he not? I’ll wait with you. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side.
Sebastian gently stroked the back of her head as he smiled slyly.
He suspected that Theodore hadn’t heard what Rosalie said last night. Otherwise, given Theodore’s obsession with Rosalie, if he knew she was pregnant with his child, how could he have had no reaction at all?
If his guess was correct, then Rosalie wouldn’t receive a call today. He needed to give her hope and make her believe Theodore would call. Despair was what would make Rosalie completely give up on Theodore.
No, that wouldn’t do. If Theodore had heard her last night, and he came back to his senses today and called Rosalie… What if they reconciled?
The child was their bond. With the child, they might continue to be entangled.
Sebastian gently released Rosalie. Rose, do you want to sleep a bit more?
Rosalie shook her head. No. What if I miss the call?
Sebastian replied, Look at you. You’re so tired. Why don’t you freshen up a bit? It will help you feel more awake. I’ll stay here and watch the phone. If he calls, I’ll tell you immediately. Or you can set your ringer to the highest volume so you can hear it.
Rosalie nodded. Alright.
She turned the phone’s ringer up to the maximum and placed it on the bedside table. I’ll go freshen up now and come out quickly.
I’ll help you. Sebastian helped her out of bed.
It’s okay. I can go by myself.
With that, Rosalie carefully walked into the bathroom.
Sebastian lightly rubbed his nose, and then took out his phone from
socket. He sent a text. [Come to
r of the ward.] Conte
After a while, Rosalie’s attending physician arrived outside the ward.
Sebastian immediately went over and whispered something in his ear.
When Rosalie came out of the bathroom, Sebastian quickly helped her back to bed.
As soon as she sat down, Rosalie
picked up her phone to check the
messages. She let out a gentle sigh, and then replied to Yvonne and Yerick.
She explained that she had fallen asleep shortly after returning yesterday and hadn’t seen their messages in time.
After replying to the messages,
Rosalie exited the screen. She weet
Leould
hurriedly grab her phone every time it dinged. They were all replies from Yvonne and Yerick.
She felt a wave of disappointment, but replied to both Yvonne and Yerick. Yet, it was clear she wasn’t in the mood.
Theodore still hadn’t called or sent any messages.
Soon, the attending physician came to check on her.
Miss Young, how are you feeling today? the doctor asked.
Rosalie put down her phone. I’m fine.
The attending physician stepped closer. You look unwell.
Rosalie reached out, and touched her face lightly. Is that so? Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night.
The doctor said, Let me examine you.
He took out a stethoscope and placed it on her chest, and his brow furrowed.
