Chapter 197
“I was not! You saw wrongly. I was just trying to hear what she was saying, that’s all.”
Sebastian tried to explain himself, but panic was rising in his throat and his eyes darted around anxiously.
“Oh? So why are you panicking? Isn’t it enough to just let her sleep after giving her her medicine?”
“She can’t take medicine. She’s pregnant.”
“What did you say?! She’s pregnant? My god, you…” Yvonne sputtered, shocked. She then pointed a finger at him, and accused, “You made her pregnant! I’m telling Mom and Dad!”
“What nonsense! Rose is already married. The baby is her husband’s.”
He wasn’t trying to dissociate himself from the matter at hand, but was simply worried about ruining Rosalie’s reputation.
Yvonne’s eyes widened in shock. She looked at Rosalie through the door, and said, “If she’s already married, why did you bring her home and act so intimately with her? Are you interested in married women? Is her husband fine with this?”
“I can’t be bothered to explain things to you.”
Things were complicated, and Rosalie’s privacy was at stake.
Sebastian couldn’t possibly tell others about Rosalie and Theodore’s private affairs.
He said coldly, “Go back to your room and sleep. Don’t talk rubbish tomorrow, or I’ll be nasty.”
His cold, warning glare was enough to tell Yvonne that he week

serious and not joking around. Her brother looked as if he was going to eat her alive!
She trembled, frightened. She had never seen him like this before,
much less for the sake of a woman. She didn’t believe a word of what he claimed about them being friends. It may be unrequited, but he certainly seemed to have affections for that lady.
Yvonne was certain about that, but she also remembered how Rosalie looked at Sebastian simply as a friend and nothing more.
While Yvonne was lost in her thoughts, Sebastian returned to Rosalie’s room.
He took care of Rosalie through the night, diligently changing out her towels and taking her temperature.
If her temperature rose again, he would have no choice but to give her medicine. For the sake of protecting the baby in her stomach, he couldn’t allow something to happen to her. Thankfully, her
temperature gradually started to drop.
Rosalie was deep in sleep. Sebastian himself was exhausted, but he kept himself awake so he could take care of her. He downed a few. cups of coffee for fear that he might fall asleep, and not catch any rise in Rosalie’s temperature in time.
The next morning, Rosalie woke up at noon due to her fever. Her head was spinning when she woke up, and she felt like she couldn’t control. her body. Her mind was in a blank, and she felt like a lifeless shelf.
She turned, and was surprised to see a man snoozing on the chair next to the bed.
Memories from last night were blurry. Her head was spinning, and she felt warm, as if she had gone down with something. Did.
Sebastian take care of her the whole night?

Sebastian opened his eyes. He had just shut them a moment ago, but found himself unable to fall asleep in peace. He had opened his eyes many times; now, he found Rosalie awake.
He immediately sat up, and said, “You’re awake. How do you feel?”
He reached out, and felt her forehead. Her body temperature had returned to normal, and he heaved a sigh of relief. “Your fever’s down. Thank god.”
Rosalie sat up on the bed. “Did you take care of me the entire night?”
He looked incredibly exhausted, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Fearing that she might worry, Sebastian laughed it off.
“No, it’s not what you think it is. I haven’t been here for long.”
