Chapter 945
“Lillian is my best friend. If she faces a problem, I will help her no matter what,” Rosalie said.
Soon, the reports about the blood tests came out, and the medical experts that were arranged by
Jonathan urgently held a consultation with Lillian.
When Lillian woke up, she knew that something must be wrong with the progesterone shot given by
themunity hospital.
There was an additionalponent in her blood that made her heart beat faster, thus affecting the
fetus’ heartbeat. Usually, that would cause the fetus in the womb to die as a result.
“How could it be? Why is there something wrong with the progesterone shot?” In disbelief, Lillian
covered her abdomen nervously with both hands and murmured, “My baby…”
“The baby is fine at the moment, but we still need to observe it. The progesterone shot was
administered directly into the bloodstream, and it will cause a direct impact,” Rosalie said, trying to
downy the issue as much as possible.

“Why is this happening? What’s wrong with the progesterone shot?” Lillian burst into tears. At that
moment, she was more concerned about her child’s well-being than her health.
It wasn’t until then that she realized the importance of her baby to her.
Rosalie guaranteed, saying, “I will find out what’s going on! For now, the most important thing for
you is to rest well. Don’t cry. It’s not good for your health. Rest well, and your baby will get through
this ordeal.” Lillian quickly wiped her tears. “Okay, I won’t cry. I’ll have a good rest. I won’t let
anything happen to the baby.”
Rosalie waited until she fell asleep before leaving the hospital. Meanwhile, Jonathan’s car was
parked outside the hospital’s entrance.
Jonathan got out of the car and walked toward Rosalie. “Are you going back now?”
“Yes.” A hint of weariness appeared between Rosalie’s brows. She continued, “Why are you here?
Didn’t I
say
that I could go back by myself?”
“I want to pick you up. Are you tired?” He asked.
“A little,” she replied.
They got in the car, and Jonathan asked, “How is Lillian now?”
“There’s nothing to worry about Lillian. With proper treatment, we can eliminate the effect of the
drug. However, we are unsure about the impact on the baby. We need to observe it again,” Rosalie
said.
“It’s Madeline,” Jonathan said coldly.
“What?” Rosalie’s eyes widened in surprise. She continued, “Madeline? Have you found out it was
her?” “Well, it’s not difficult to find out about this. Nheless, Madeline managed to hide herself
ahead of time. We are unable to find her at the moment,” responded Jonathan.
A fierce determination shed in Rosalie’s eyes as she thought, “How dare Madeline do this to
Lillian? I will never let her get away with this!”
“Can you locate her?” Rosalie asked.
“As long as she hasn’t left Strico, I can track her down eventually. It will take some time, though.”
Jonathan saw the rare anger on Rosalie’s face and asked, “Are you infuriated about what happened
to Lillian?”
“Of course. How could Madeline use such despicable means against Lillian? It’s evident that she
intended to threaten the child’s life using that injection. Doesn’t she realize how important a child is
to a mother?” Rosalie spoke angrily.
Jonathan lowered his eyes. A sardonic smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “Some mothers treat
their child as a disposable tool that can be discarded at any time, though.”
Rosalie was stunned, realizing that her words had once again reminded him of his own mother.
“Mrs. Smuckler has been regretful all these years. She has been missing you dearly,” Rosalie said.
“Don’t mention her again. I don’t want to hear about her,” Jonathan interrupted her.

She hesitated to reply. In the end, she chose to keep mum.
When they returned to the Youngblood residence, the two children were already asleep. Rosalie
and Jonathan went to the bedroom. As Jonathan was changing his clothes, the scar on his chest
entered her line of sight.
She could feel a sharp pain in her heart. The obvious scar represented the injuries that he had
endured in the past.
With current medical technology, the scar could have been easily removed withser treatments.
However, Jonathan chose to retain the scar on his body. It was as if he was trying to remind himself
of the hurt inflicted by his mother in the past.
“Jon, will you truly be happy like this?” Rosalie asked abruptly.
“What?” He turned to look at her.
She walked up to him and gently ran her hand over the scar on his chest. “It seems like you’ve
never truly let go of the past. Are you really happy?”
His body tensed, and he gazed at her with an unreadable expression. “Why? Are you trying to plead
for her again?”
“I wish Mrs. Smuckler could get her treatment, but I hope that you can truly let go of the past as
well. Or else, you will never be happy,” she replied.
“I will let go of the past when she receives the punishment that she deserves,” said Jonathan. He
pulled her hand away and went into the bathroom.
Rosalie took out her phone and looked at the message she had received today with a frown.
Last time, she had asked Calvin’s men to locate the whereabouts of Connor and Kaylie. She had
just been informed that they had found them in a shabby apartment. It was not far from the street
where Jonathan’s father Lucian died.
Kaylie was currently in a poor condition. She was running on a high fever and on the brink of losing
consciousness at any time.
Around the apartment, there were Jonathan’s men guarding. She also ensured that both of them
would receive three meals a day.
Rosalie frowned. She thought, “At this critical point, I have to send Mrs. Smuckler to the hospital.
Otherwise, it could truly be a matter of life and death! I don’t want Mrs. Smuckler to die and Jon’s
hands to be stained with the blood of his mother. If that happens, it would be tragic. Nothing can be
done if Mrs. Smuckler passes away. He wouldn’t have a chance to make amends, even if he
wanted to.”
Back then, Kaylie’s mistake led to the death of Lucian, Jonathan’s father. Even though she regretted
it for years, it was already toote.
Thinking of that, Rosalie finally replied to the person with determination before putting her phone
away. She walked straight to the bathroom and opened the door.
A mist clouded her vision, and she heard the sound of running water.
Under the shower head, Jonathan’s lean and fit body caught Rosalie’s attention. There seemed to
be a flicker of curiosity in his dark eyes.
Rosalie hurried forward, putting her arms around his neck. With that, she stood on her tiptoes and
kissed him affectionately.
The warm water flowed down, simultaneously drenching her entire body.
