Chapter 94
When Sydney and Rosalie arrived at the younger woman’s home, she got out of the car and said, “Mom, you could stay the night.”
“There’s no need. I’m used to living alone. You go back and rest well,” Sydney refused.
Rosalie coughed a few times.
Having heard her daughter in law cough a few times during the drive, Sydney reminded her, “Drink some hot water when you get inside. You may have caught a cold. Try not to take medicine and get plenty of
Test.”
Rosalie nodded. “Okay, I got it. Take care on your way back.”
Since it seemed that the older woman really didn’t want to stay, Rosalie didn’t try to convince and headed inside, straightening her coat. It was late at night, and the weather was chilly.
The butler greeted her, “Madam, you’re back.”
“Why are you still awake, Anthony?”
“I saw a car coming in and thought it might be you or the master.”
Rosalie smiled wryly. “He’s not coming back. You should go to bed. soon.”
Rosalie coughed a few times into her fist and went upstairs. Back in her room, she coughed even harder under the covers. She had caught a chill.
Earlier, Theodore had dragged her out while she was still in her
pajamas. Though he had given her a coat, she had only put it on when they arrived at the hospital. Getting sick happened in an instant.
Anthony came to her door with medicine and a cup of hot water.
“Madam, have you gone to bed?” he asked politely, though he knew she was still awake because he could hear er coughing.
“Did you need something?” Rosalie asked.
“Madam, I heard you coughing, so I brought you some medicine and hot water. Take the medicine and then go to sleep.”
Soon, Rosalie came to the door, her face looking a bit pale. She took the medicine and water from Anthony.
“Thank you. You should rest early,” she said.
Anthony nodded and left.
Rosalie closed the door and returned to her room. She only drank the hot water but didn’t take the medicine. Because she was pregnant, she couldn’t take medicine unless it was absolutely necessary.
Back in his room, Anthony was about to go to sleep when he received a call from Theodore.
“Do you need anything, sir?” the butler asked.
“Has Rose returned?”
“Madam is already back and in her room.”
“That’s good. How did she look?”
“Madam has been coughing. I just gave her some medicine.”
“What did you say? She’s sick?” Theodore sounded worried.
“Yes, she may have caught a cold. She didn’t look well when she came back.”
Before Anthony could finish speaking, the call was already
disconnected.

Rosalie’s head was pounding, and she felt terrible. Her throat was sore from coughing, but she felt a persistent itch if she didn’t cough. There was nothing she could do but endure the discomfort.
“Cough! Cough!”
Coughing so hard, Rosalie didn’t even notice when the door to her room opened. It wasn’t until she felt the bed sink down that she jumped in surprise and turned to see Theodore sitting on her bed.
“W–why are you back?” Rosalie asked.
Theodore raised his hand and gently touched her forehead, then took out a thermometer and tried to put it in her mouth.
Rosalie quickly pushed his hand away. “What are you doing?”
He raised the thermometer and motioned with it. “Checking if you have a fever. Open your mouth.”
Rosalie sat up and said, “Weren’t you accompanying Cynthia? Why are you here?”
She didn’t want to see him right now!
