Chapter 1101 Being Framed (2)
"I know you''re not that kind of person,” Elliot gently patted the woman''s hand and continued her words, seeing Rose release her grip on his hand.
Locking at the woman lying on the bed, Elliot felt regret and self-me. He gently touched Rose''s hair. "Rose... it''s my fault. I shouldn''t have doubted
vou. I know you wouldn''t do those things, but..."
He didn''t continue but sigh
In fact, Elliot was very dissatisfied; even a hint of jealousy filled his heart
When he saw Lawrence dancing intimately with Rose in the dance floor full of smiles, he had to try hard to restrain himself.
If it weren''t for being angry at that time, he wouldn''t have said those hurtful words to her.
But these thoughts were not something he wanted to admit or bring up.
Elliot tock a dry towel and put it on Rose''s forehead to cool down while finding fever-reducing medicine. He sat at the bedside, holding half a cup of
warm water.
He helped her sit up against him and called out softly, "Rose, take your medicine first. Take good rest after taking your medicine.”
This was a gentle side of him that had never appeared in front of Rose before, but unfortunately she couldn''t see it while she was unconscious.
"Rose? You have a fever; take your medicine first before sleeping.”
Elliotforted Rose with a few words, sessfully getting her to take the medicine. He helped her lie down and changed the damp cloth on her
forehead several times. Thankfully, her fever began to subside in the middle of the night, and Elliot, sitting by her bedside, finally breathed a sigh of
relief. His face also softened.
It is now 12:53 AM; Elliot had no sleepiness whatsoever as his gaze was somewhat dazedly staring at the person lying on the bed.
Rose, lying on the bed, appeared peaceful and delicate due to the subsided fever. Her features were serene and beautiful, with a hint of vulnerability
brought on by her illness.
The usual Rose in front of him was lively and spirited. Despite often opposing him and even... disliking him, he had never really taken it to heart
Elliot gazed at the sleeping woman, and he couldn''t help but show a tender and doting expression, his gaze fixed on Rose and unable to move away.
In a trance, he remembered the first time he had met her so long ago.
It had been in a dimly lit bar, with various lights shing and illuminating the people inside. Elliot could never forget that moment when they first met
At that time, Rose was still in college. Because of her family''s financial situation, she had to work outside of school to pay for her tuition and living
expenses. Through a rmendation from one of her senior ssmates, she started working part-time at the most famous bar in town where the
sry was high but came with various pressures and difficulties.
Rose had never been to a bar before and on her first day at work as a waitress serving drinks to private rooms, she encountered trouble. Once inside
one room, she realized that all the men were middle-aged types apanied by young women who had good figures and looks.
Several men made inappropriate moves towards Rose which made her feel uneasy. Before leaving the room, one overweight man grabbed Rose''s
hand just as she put down his drink bottle and pulled her into his arms.
Rose was shocked but immediately
struggled out-of his grasp only for
him to holdonto her tightly, saying,
"Such a prettydy delivering drinks?
How about spending tonight with
me? [give you five times your’
sry. " The other men in the-toom
turned their attention towards Rose
like vultures eyeing their prey,
making Rose feel disgusted. Content

"What do youwant? Let go of me!"
She tried backing away two steps,
only to realize that the male o
colleague-who entered together with
her had left without notice, causing
fearwithin herself but he quickly
regainedposure. Content

"I''m here delivering drinks, not selling myself" With an icy expression on her face, she tried to leave but was stopped in the private room.
"Isn''t it all same here? Beautiful girl just spend tonight with us; we will give you more money." He said while other men chimed in agreement.
"Come over here! What are you pretending for? We know what kind of woman you are! Serving Mr. Young well has great benefits!"
Rose shivered and almost wanted to vomit, but she was unconsciously solemn and cautious, and before she could think of a countermeasure, the
man hade over and dragged her to the sofa, while pulling her clothes
Her strength couldn''t bepared with that of a middle-aged man. Soon the neckline of her work attire was torn, revealing arge area of her skin.
Rose gritted her teeth and kicked the man hard. Taking advantage of everyone''s stunned silence, she rushed outside.
As soon as she went out, she bumped into someone within a few steps. Her body fell backwards and hit her head, making her feel dizzy and
disoriented. She ended up sitting on the ground.
She looked up and saw a man in front of her who was too handsome. His facial features seemed to glow under the light, but he lowered his head and
locked down at her with a cold and indifferent gaze.
Rose has no intention of thinking about anything else at this moment, as her life and innocence are still at stake!
So she immediately grabbed the
man''s pants Jeg to seek help, her
voice feigningposure but N
trembling underneath. "Sir, pleases

Elliot remained silent. He always disliked meddling in other people''s business, and he didn''t even know this woman, sc he wouldn''t help her. "Let go!”
Rose gripped his pants leg even tighter, her knuckles turning white with the force.
A few footsteps could be heard not far behind her.
"As long as you can help me, sir, I promise to do anything for you! Consider it as if I owe you a favor!"N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Rose naturally knew that the man in front of her was different from the men behind her, at least she didn''t see any evil desire in his eyes
Elliot felt that the woman was too bold at the time. She didn''t even know who he was, yet she dared to ask for his help so casually.
But he lowered his head and fell into her clear, bright deer-like eyes, which were anxious but also faintly hopeful
It was so clear that he had never seen a woman with such beautiful eyes before, and at that moment, he suddenly softened.
