Chapter 397


    After Sherri lefi, Edward was left alone in the room, deep in thought.


    He felt that what his sister said made sense. It was not all nonsense. Rose was indeed someone he


    had a crush on. Sherri was right.


    He picked up his phone again and clicked on Rose’s profile picture. He continued to browse her posts.


    After finishing reading it, he held his phone and twirled it. His thoughts circled his hand as he recalled


    Sherri’s words. He was stunned and disappointed when he heard she had someone she liked.


    He caught this feeling himself and felt very ufortable. He had the urge to ask clearly.


    Based on Sherri’s words, he didn’t only have a good impression of Rose. It seemed like he had


    unknowingly fallen for her. Yes, he liked her.


    Natalie’s name did note to his mind now. It was also Rose’s shadow that came to his mind


    unexpectedly. Most of the time, it was the picture of her dancing awkwardly with others on the beach.


    When he heard Sherri say Natalie’s name, he didn’t seem to have any reaction. Had hepletely let


    go? Or was his love for Natalie not deep at all? Was it just out of habit?


    Otherwise, he couldn’t exin his actions. How could he have forgotten about Natalie in such a short


    time?


    The most important thing now was that Rose had always wanted to be his friend, but he wanted to


    make her his girlfriend. Moreover, Rose knew that he used to like Natalie. How should he exin


    this…


    Edward’s head hurt at the thought of it. He put down his phone again and pinched the aching ce


    between his eyebrows. His handsome face was surrounded by a depressed aura that filled the entire


    room.


    Since thest trip, they had not seen each other for a while, but he could see her daily post to know if


    she was happy.


    His heart urged him to pick up his phone again and send a message to the person with a profile picture


    of a pistachio. [What are you doing?]


    There was no reply for a long time. It was so long that Edward ced his phone on the pillow in


    disappointment. Then it was the next morning.


    It was in the Roberts family residence.


    Rose was in as much of a hurry as ever. William also prepared breakfast for her as usual. Then, she


    took her breakfast and went out. Just as she walked out, a disdainful voice came from behind. “I’ll send


    you to work.”


    Rose took a bite of the eggs made by William. It was yummy. “You’re so early today. Are you alright?”


    “Wait here.” After saying that. Frank turned around and went to the dining table to get breakfast. Grace


    pushed milk, egg. and bread to him. William held a preservation bag in one hand.


    After packing breakfast, Frank said to the couple, “I have to go.”


    Grace replied calmly. “Okay”


    William was happier looking at the harmonious back view of the siblings. The smile on his lips


    deepened. “Be careful on the road.


    In the car, Rose thought of what William had said about being careful on the road. She couldn’t help but


    remind her brother, who was eating breakfast with one hand in the driver’s seat, “Eatter. Send me


    there first, or I’ll bete.


    Frank red at her and kept eating his breakfast as if it had nothing to do with him. “If you had taken


    yourself off the bed a few minutes earlier, you wouldn’t be in such a hurry now”


    “Hey, just eat itter. Please, if you do this, I’ll bete. Why don’t you get Tom to send me?” Rose put


    her hands together and chewed the egg at the same time.


    Frank made a firm decision. “From today onward, I’ll send you to work.”


    “What? What are you trying to do?” Rose looked rmed. That meant that she had lost all her


    freedom. Moreover, what was wrong with him?


    Frank felt that Rose had been acting strangely recently. Last night, she slept in the tortoise doll. And


    she meditated every day. He was sensitive and felt that something was wrong


    “Tom has gone back to his hometown these few days. I’ll send you to work and pick you up. I will not let


    you bete. After saying that, he quickly stepped on the elerator. With this speed, Rose believed


    her brother would not let her bete.


    Alright. It didn’t matter who sent her to work. She didn’t do anything bad anyway.


    She agreed generously. “Alright, since you insist on giving me a ride, I’ll reluctantly agree. However,


    there’s one thing. You have to be dedicated. I can’t… be…..te”


    Frank ignored her and drove seriously. Tom also had a tough time helping this wretched girl rush to


    work every day.


    The car stopped at the outpatient building and Frank quickly parked in the parking lot.


    Rose looked at the time and could not help but praise him. “Not bad. There are five minutes left. Bye,


    I’m leaving”


    “I’ll pick you up after work.”


    “Got it. Rose ran and waved at her brother behind.


    She bumped into Sherri, who was rushing to work. The two of them walked arm in arm. “Why are you


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    sote too?”


    Rose asked in confusion. Sherri had alwayse to the hospital early. Sherri would be standing at the


    front desk and gossiping every time she arrived.


    Last night, Sherri chatted with Hackett about the person her brother liked for half the night and


    overslept in the morning. “It was a mistake. My brother told mest night that he had someone he liked,


    causing Hackett and I to use a lot of elimination methods in bed, but we couldn’t figure out who she


    was. In the end, I was almostte in the morning. Okay, it’s my floor. You should hurry to work.”


    As they spoke, Sherri reached her floor. She rushed in and waved at Rose.


    Someone he liked?


    Did Edward have someone he liked? Or was it Natalie?


    Why did she feel a little upset when she heard this news? Oh, no! Rose, who had watched too many


    soap operas, diagnosed herself in a second. She did like Edward, this refined man.


    Oh, no, no!


    She quickly walked into her pediatric consultation room. Her heart was pounding. This was an


    abnormal state. She was in heat. Rose pressed her chest with both hands. A nurse walked past and


    asked with concern, ‘Dr. Roberts, are you feeling


    unwell?”


    Rose took a deep breath and replied dejectedly, “I might be terminally ill. I’m doomed.”


    The nurse’s eyes were filled with sympathy. Rose didn’t mean that she had a terminal illness, but in the


    nurse’s eyes, in a ce like a hospital, the nurse misunderstood and thought Rose had a terminal


    illness.


    When Rose looked up, she saw tears in the nurse’s eyes. She did not have time to exin because


    she was beingte. “It’s not what you think”


    The nurse said, “It’s alright, Dr. Roberts. We’ll treat you if you’re sick. The medical skills in Athana


    Hospital are quite good. Good luck.


    Rose walked into her consultation room without looking back. All that was left was speechlessness. It


    seemed that this matter could not be shared with Sherri. She put on her white coat and thought about


    what to do. She knew about her feelings but was helpless because Edward had someone in his heart.


    She had decided that she would not fill the hole.


    She couldn’t share it with Natalie either. Natalie didn’t know that Edward liked her.


    Oh! She was so annoyed because she couldn’t tell anyone about it. It was so hard for her to keep it in


    her heart. Should she tell Ava? But what was the difference between telling Ava and Frank?


    Ava would tell Frank immediately anyway. Or should she tell Frank? He probably wouldn’t beat her to


    death. It was so annoying. She needed to talk to someone about it.


    Rose took a deep breath, telling herself in her heart to be calm and cool.


    Rose did not run to the two pregnant women’s consultation room right away during the lunch break.


    Instead, she turned. on her phone and searched online. “What should I do if I fall in love with someone


    I shouldn’t?”


    There were many suggestions online, like starting a new rtionship, finding a boy who liked you, and


    looking at boys who were pleasing to the eye to forget about that man.


    Some said she should confess bravely because the other party might like her too. If the other party


    didn’t like her, it was also the best way to give up.


    Some even said she should test him. She should deliberately appear in front of the other party and chat


    with other boys to see the other party’s reaction.


    Rose wondered why the method was so scheming. It was too scheming to be her style.


    No wonder it was said that people shouldn’t search the Inte when feeling unwell. They were fine


    when they did not do


    that. But once they searched, they would think they were seriously ill and be more confused.


    When she logged out, she saw three unread messages. Two were from Sherri and Natalie just now.


    The two of them had privately sent her. [The canteen. Be quick.]


    No wonder they were best friends. The messages they sent were the same. After the food in the


    canteen improved, they had been dining in the canteen all the time.


    She replied with one word. [Coming.]


    Then, she walked out of the consultation room and opened another message…


    It was from Edward. What did he mean? He asked her what she was doing. Last night, she slept so


    soundly in the turtle that she didn’t notice any messages at all, and she went out in a hurry this


    morning. Should she reply?


    Rose hesitated.


    She wanted to reply. After thinking for a second, she decided to be polite. Edward didn’t know that she


    had other thoughts. They agreed to be friends, so she thought she’d better reply. [Sorry, I fell asleep


    Edward seemed to be waiting for the message. He replied quickly. It’s okay.]


    Rose thought to herself, “That’s it? Isn’t this the end of the conversation?”


    Rose didn’t know how to reply, so she stuffed her phone into her pocket. She did like Edward and was


    sure of it, but she couldn’t make it too obvious. Besides, she couldn’t be a substitute. Her thoughts


    suddenly became clear.


    In the canteen, Sherri and Natalie had already gotten their food. They were waiting for Rose to arrive.


    Seeing that she waste, Sherri found it strange. Why was someone who had always been punctual


    getting off work sote? “Why are you sote today?”


    Rose lied, “Hey, I packed my things and was a few minuteste.”


    Sherri believed it, but Natalie noticed the shifty look in Rose’s eyes. “Hurry up and eat. You can still rest


    after eating.” Rose was especially quiet today. She ate in silence while Sherri kept talking. “My mother


    insisted I go to Edward’s roomst night…


    Sherri recounted what happenedst night. Of course, she exaggerated more. Natalie was skeptical.


    Her best friend’s exaggerated acting skills made her unable to believe everything she said. She held


    her fork and froze in midair.


    She nced at Rose, sitting across from her, and asked Sherri, ‘Are you sure your brother has


    someone he likes? And he’s nning to woo her?”


    Suddenly, Rose’s hand that was holding the fork paused. She held it tightly and figured out something.


    It seemed that Edward had a new person he liked. If it was Natalie, why would he still n to woo her?


    A fleeting love would eventually disappear.


    Rose’s performances were all captured by Natalie.
