Chapter 557


    “I think… my body is a little weak,” Jonathan said as he tried to take the bowl again.


    When Rosalie saw his current state, she said, “Never mind, I’ll just feed you. If your hands turn


    weakter, you might drop the bowl again.”


    As she spoke, she sat on the chair next to the bed. Then, she scooped up some oatmeal with a


    spoon. She blew on it to cool it down and then held it to his lips.


    He obediently opened his mouth and ate the oatmeal she fed to him.


    At that moment, he was like a tame puppy, taking mouthfuls of oatmeal one after another. But his


    eyes were staring at her with a burning gaze.


    She felt a little ufortable because of the longing gaze


    in his eyes.


    “The… woman you mentionedst time. Did she truly end someone’s life in the Room Where Blood


    Spills?” She tried to find something to talk about so that she could break the silence.


    “Yes, it’s true,” Jonathan replied.


    “She killed someone from the Youngblood family, didn’t she? And they let her go just like that?” she


    asked, a little puzzled. The Youngblood family should have been quite rich already back then, even


    though the incident happened more than 70


    years ago.


    “Because the man she killed wanted to have mercy on her. He even wrote ast note before he


    died, that no one should be med for his death!” Jonathan said.


    Rosalie was stunned. She wondered if that man of the Youngblood family had already expected this


    woman toe, after his life. That must be why he left a note like that.


    But it was quite a chaotic era, so thew was not as strict as it was in current times. If the


    Youngblood family chose not to pursue this matter, that woman could indeed escape imprisonment.


    “What happened to that woman after that?” she asked a little curiously.


    For some reason, she wanted to know how that woman ended up.


    “She came back to this ce. The room you slept in used to be hers. She stayed there until the day


    she died,” he said.


    “She stayed there until she died? Was she alone?”


    “No, there was another.” He said lightly, “She came back pregnant, and she proceeded to give birth


    to a boy. That boyter became the heir of the Youngblood family.”


    Rosalie was in utter shock. She didn’t expect the story to end like this.


    That woman murdered the man she fell in love with, but she was also pregnant with that man’s


    child. Then, she chose to return to this ce and give birth to the child.


    This sort of fate was even more twisted than the sortmonly shown in TV series.


    “Wait!” she thought in shock.


    She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Jonathan in disbelief. If she calcted the time


    correctly, then… “The boy she gave birth to was your… grandfather?” Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Yes.” He nodded and said, “This is the secret of the Youngblood family. I, too, only learned about it


    a few years ago.”


    She felt awkward. She wasn’t sure if it was right for him to tell her this secret. Still, she truly didn’t


    expect that she had already met someone who was part of the story.


    Even at that moment, she still remembered what had happened when she met Leonard. It was not


    a fond memory for her. Leonard’s cold and inhumane cruelty also caused her heart to shudder in


    fright.


    If Jonathan hadn’t arrived in time back then, she might have already been disfigured by Leonard.


    Jonathan seemed to notice what she was thinking. He parted his thin lips, saying, “Don’t worry. I


    won’t let grandfather hurt


    you.”


    She gently lowered her gaze. Then, she stood up and set the empty bowl aside. “Rest well. I’ll go


    back to my room first.” But before she could turn around, his hand was already tugging at her


    sleeve. He raised his chin slightly and looked at her. There was a shimmer in his clear eyes.


    “Jonathan, what are you doing?” she asked.


    “It’s not like you don’t have any feelings for me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have stayed by my


    side, given me medicine, and even made oatmeal for me…” His hoarse voice came out of his


    mouth in short gasps. His expression looked like both pleading and longing. “Rosalie, can you fall


    for me? I never knew that I could love a woman this deeply!”


    When he was around others, he was the high and mighty Mr. Youngblood. But when he was with


    her, he would give up his pride. He only wished for her to love him!


    In an instant, she felt like her mind had turned nk.


    Calvin had pulled almost all his strings to find Rosalie’s whereabouts, but it was not that easy. It was


    true that Calvin had connections, but Jonathan also had his connections. Of course, Jonathan could


    easily prevent being tracked.


    Rosalie wasn’t the only one, either. Jonathan also hadn’t shown up recently.


    For a moment, the search seemed to be stuck in a stalemate.


    Calvin had never been so impatient as he was in the past few days. Even when Fiona was saying


    something in front of him, he couldn’t concentrate on listening. His mind was filled with thoughts of


    Rosalie’s whereabouts.


    When he told his parents that he had fallen for Rosalie, they were shocked, and they opposed the


    notion. They refused to ept Rosalie.


    They even tried to persuade him not to get obsessed with Rosalie.


    But he was already obsessed. He was so utterly obsessed that he couldn’t break free at all. Even if


    his rival was Jonathan, he s refused to back down.


    “Calvin, were you listening?” Fiona asked. She spoke so much that her mouth went dry, but Calvin


    seemed to be thinking about something else. He didn’t react at all.


    She wondered if he was thinking about Rosalie.


    Fiona was jealous. Rosalie never showed up in the past few days. It seemed like Jonathan had


    taken her somewhere.


    Fiona hoped that Rosalie would never show up. Then, Calvin wouldn’t ever think of Rosalie again!


    “What were you saying?” Calvin asked.


    “I said… My birthday is in a few days. I’m thinking of holding a birthday banquet this year, is that


    okay?” Fiona said, looking at Calvin in anticipation.


    Hearing that, Calvin looked at her indifferently. “Your cousin is missing right now, but you’re only


    concerned about a birthday banquet?”


    “Rosalie is with Jonathan. They’re already dating, anyway, so maybe they’re being lovey-dovey right


    now…” She said that on purpose so that Calvin might give up his love for Rosalie. “Maybe she’ll


    appear in a few days, getting all intimate with Jonathan. Besides… I want to celebrate our reunion


    along with my birthday. I can’t just avoid celebrating anything simply because of Rosalie’s incident.”


    Calvin pursed his thin lips. After a while, he said, “Alright, I see. I’ll get some people to prepare for


    your birthday banquet. You can tell them if you need anything.”


    Fiona’s face instantly lit up. She was about to say something when Calvin’s phone suddenly rang.
