Chapter 616
“400 thousand dors could save Lillian’s life, but I can’t even borrow money for Lillian. What’s
going to happen to Lillian? Will the Quinn residence have to be sold? After the house is sold, what if
it isn’t enough? The ICU ward costs thousands of dors every day, and ordinary people can’t afford
it for a long time!” Rosalie thought.
Rosalie trembled and wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what else she could say.
All she had to negotiate in front of Jonathan was just herself. However, now that Jonathan couldn’t
be bothered about her, she had nothing else to put on the table.
Rosalie’s despair made Jonathan’s heart throb. Jonathan pursed his thin lips tightly, disgusted that
he was again feeling heartache for this woman who had abandoned him.
After a long time, Rosalie’s voice finally sounded in the office again. “You really won’t lend me 400
thousand dors?”
Jonathan suppressed the pain in his heart and said coldly, “Didn’t I make myself clear enough?”
“You did,” Rosalie said bitterly. “Well then, I’m sorry for bothering you,” she added with all her
strength.
She then turned around and walked step by step toward the door of the office.
“Oh, Lillian… What’s going to happen to Lillian? How can I save her? Why am I so useless? I can’t
even trade my life for hers,” Rosalie thought.
It was only seven or eight steps from her current spot to the door, but every step Rosalie took was
very slow as if all her strength had been drained. When she finally reached the door, she suddenly
felt dizzy and was plunged into darkness.
Herst conscious thought told her that she seemed to have fallen into a familiar embrace.
Calvin had been restless all the time when he was having a physical examination at the hospital.
The scene of Rosalie stopping the car in the morning kept shing before his eyes.
Rosalie had looked so pale and fragile, and there had been pleading and hopeful looks in her eyes.
However, such hope had soon been reced by disappointment and even despair.
Calvin mused, ‘What was she disappointed about? What was she despairing about?
Was it because I refused to settle Lucas’s case in private?
Does she care about Lucas so much?”
Calvin shook his head, wanting to stop thinking about what happened in the morning.
“Calvin, what’s wrong with you?” Fiona’s voice sounded.

Calvin said cidly, “Nothing.”
Fiona’s eyes flickered slightly. Even if there was a crack and misunderstanding between Calvin and
Rosalie, he was still indifferent to her, which made her unwilling to ept it.
Fiona thought, ‘What’s so good about Rosalie? She just studies more than me and looks better than
me.
Back then, we were simr in appearance and often misunderstood as twins. But gradually, I looked
less like Rosalie. In addition, Rosalie had been studying in the city all the time, so our temperament
had changed even more.
Gradually, the people in town would always talk about how pretty and smart Rosalie was while I was
just a wretch.”
At the thought of that, Fiona grew even more jealous.
“Calvin, you’re not still thinking about her, are you? Is it really okay for you to get into this mess with
Rosalie over mywsuit? Is it nice of you not to see her after she’s willing to beg you for Lucas?”
asked Fiona.
“You don’t have to ask any more questions about me and her. For matters rted to thewsuit, you
canmunicate with thewyer,” Calvin said coldly.
Fiona suddenly choked up and lowered her head to wipe away her tears. “Calvin, thank you. I
thought you were still in love with Rosalie and would go along with her and talk me out of suing
Lucas. I thought you would let me endure this grievance, but… I didn’t expect that you would hire a
lawyer for me and help me file awsuit. Thank you. It was so nice of you. You are still the same as
before.”
She had wanted to call him Cal, but thinking of his previous warnings, she gave up.
There was no need to make him unhappy because of a name. After all, the most important thing
now was preventing him from meeting Rosalie and making him stay far away from her.
Calvin stared at Fiona and said, “As long as everything you say is true, I will certainly help you get
justice.”
“Since Rosalie is determined to help Lucas, I’ll only look for her after this casees to an end. I’ll
have her know that the Lucas she cares about doesn’t deserve her trust at all. By then, she will
naturally understand that she has believed the wrong person, Calvin thought.
However, he couldn’t tell whether he really wanted to get justice for Fiona or if he was just jealous of
Lucas.
Rosalie was lying on the bed in the VIP ward of the hospital, with an IV drip on the back of her
hand. Her pale face was almost as white as the sheet that covered her body. She looked
exhausted. Even in her unconscious state, her eyebrows were furrowed.
The doctor was telling Jonathan about Rosalie’s current condition, such as mild dehydration,
fatigue, and excessive emotional fluctuation, on the side. These were all that Jonathan had
expected.
However, when the doctor paused and said the next sentence, Jonathan was shocked.
“Ms. Leighton is currently 13 weeks pregnant and needs to be supplemented with enough nutrition.
Otherwise, she may be at risk of miscarriage.”
“What? She’s… pregnant?” His cold voice was a little out of tune when he said that.
There were a few things that shocked Jonathan in this world, but now he was shocked and couldn’t
believe what he had heard.
“Yes. The fetus is in good condition at present. But with Ms. Leighton fainting this time, she needs to
take better care of herself after this,” said the doctor.
Jonathan turned his head and stared at Rosalie, who was still unconscious. He thought, “13 weeks.
It was three months ago, so the baby in her stomach… is mine! She’s pregnant with my baby!”
Jonathan’s heart was filled withplicated emotions. “Does she know she’s pregnant? And I…”
Jonathan kept silent and looked at Rosalie.
Carlos was surprised, too. “Ms. Leighton’s pregnant? And looking at Mr. Youngblood’s expression
right now, I think the child. should be his,” Carlos guessed inwardly. “Wow, doesn’t that mean Ms.
Leighton has hit the jackpot?”
