She was eager to witness the battlefield.
You’re right! If they end up fighting each other, that would be perfect.”
That way, he wouldn’t have to get his hands dirty.
The nurse nodded. “Just wait. The opportunity wille. They’ll definitely <b>fight </b>over your friend. You don’t need to worry too much. You’re smart, so I’m sure she’ll have her own ns.”
“Exactly.” Yerick’s smile grew more radiant.
However, for him, opportunities were never something one simply waited for-. they were things he created with his own hands. If he wanted it, it would happen.
“Are you feeling better?” the nurse asked.
Yerick nodded. “Much better.”
The nurse sighed in relief. “That’s good.”
Yerick’s lips curled into a barely perceptible, sinister smile. “Let’s keep our conversation today between us.
The nurse patted her chest reassuringly. “Don’t worry! I won’t tell anyone.”
“Good, I trust you. But I really don’t like being lied to. If you do tell someone, then I’ll…” Yerick paused, as if contemting what he might do.
“You’ll what?” the nurse asked, curious.
Yerick’s smile turned dark. “I’ll kill you and scatter your ashes.”
An icy chill swept over the nurse. She shivered, feeling as if she had been doused <b>in </b>ice–cold water, the cold seeping into her very soul.
Seeing her stunned reaction, Yerick suddenlyughed. “Haha, did I scare you?”
The nurse came to her senses when she saw his grin, and managed a shaky smile. “So, you were just joking. You really frightened me!”
Moments ago, she had been terrified out of her wits.
Yerick continued <b>to </b>smile. “That was not a joke. I’m serious<b>.</b><b>” </b>
<b>The </b><b>nurse’s </b>smile vanished instantly.
Yerick’s gaze was intense and unyielding as he enunciated, “So watch out.”Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
<b>The </b>room fell silent as they stared at each other. After a long pause, the nurse felt a strong urge to escape, sensing that Yerick was much more than he appeared.
“Haha.” Yerick chuckled with a childlike demeanor while pointing at her<b>. </b>Gotcha! Looks like my acting is pretty good–maybe I should y a viin.”
The nurse’s emotions were tossed about like a rollercoaster.
“You talk as if it were real. You really would make a great viin; you even have the good looks for it! Why not just be an actor?”
“Anyone can be an actor–even idiots and monkeys. But what I want to do isn’t. something just anyone can aplish.”
Yerick’s expression turned serious as he fixed his gaze on her.
The nurse was momentarily stunned but, after a moment’s reflection, realized he was likely performing again, and sheughed. “True, you do seem clever. You’re destined to contribute to human progress.”
“Yes, I’ll make significant contributions,” Yerick said deliberately, word by word.
A week had passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Rosalie had experienced a peaceful week in the hospital, frequently visiting Yerick and chatting with him.
But most of her time was spent with Sebastian.
She hadn’t seen Theodoretely. He seemed to have disappeared from the hospital. She didn’t ask about him; they were akin to the closest of strangers<b>. </b>

Rosalie felt something was off, but on reflection, everything seemed normal. It was probably for the best–avoiding random encounters and unnecessaryplications was better than dealing with bizarre, meaningless

Yerick was being discharged today, and Rosalle had been bustling around early in the morning to take care of all the paperwork and arrangements for him.
Rosalie walked Yerick to the hospital entrance. Though he was being discharged, he still needed time to recover and would require someone to look
after him.
She had already covered the cost of a caregiver to assist him until he was fully
healed.
; waiting. She
At the hospital entrance, the car Rosalie had arranged released the wheelchair and moved to stand in front of Yerick.
“Yerry<b>, </b>Chloe will take you home for now. She’ll be there to take care of you, so don’t worry.”
“Rose, thanks so much. I promise I’ll pay you back.”
“There’s no rush. Just focus on recovering. Don’t think about the rest for now.<i>” </i>
“Thanks, you’re so nice to me,” Yerick said, his eyes brimming with tears; he looked as if he might start crying.
“Come on, Yerry. Don’t cry, or I’ll have to punch you,” Rosalie said, patting him gently on the head. “You need to focus on getting better.”
Yerick nodded vigorously. “Yes, I understand. I’ll work hard. Once I start earning money, I’ll buy you a big house. I won’t hire a servant; I’ll take care of you myself. I’ll help you get dressed, bring you water, make your bed, and-”
“Alright, alright,” Rosalie interrupted, “you’re getting carried away.”
“Carried away? I’m serious,” Yerick insisted earnestly. “I really want to buy you a beautiful big house.”
Rosalie smiled helplessly. “Alright, then. I’ll wait for you to buy me that big house. For now, focus on getting healthy. Your health is the most important thing.”
Yerick nodded with determination. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
After seeing Yerick off, Rosalie went back inside the hospital.
In the <b>car</b>, Chloe couldn’t help but ask, “Is that the girl you told me about?”
“Yes,” <b>Yerick </b>confirmed with a nod.
Chloe seemed to sense something. “Do you have feelings for her?”
It was pretty clear they weren’t just siblings or friends.
Yerick put his finger to his lips, whispering conspiratorially, “Shh, keep it quiet. Don’t let anyone else hear. It’s a secret.”
Chloe nodded. “Got it. But I heard her husband is also in this hospital.”
“Yes,” Yerick said, sounding displeased. “She’s been taking care of him all the time. It’s so frustrating. With all his money, can’t he fi after him?”
someone else to look
Seeing the jealousy in Yerick’s expression, Chloe found him rather endearing.” It seems like shes quite popr. I think I saw her talking to another man in the hospital before–things seemed pretty tense.
Yerick’s face darkened immediately. “That’s her ex–husband. He’s always bothering her. It’s so annoying.”
“Wow! She must be something special to have two handsome men around her.”
“Handsome? What’s the use of being handsome?” Yerick suddenly turned, his voice harsh. “It doesn’t do any good. They only make her life miserable. Being handsome doesn’t put food on the table. A ssh of acid would reveal their true selves!”
If he wanted, he could make them disappear without a trace! These superficial admirers were a bunch of idiots!
Chloe stared at him, stunned.
Seeing the shock in Chloe’s wide eyes, Yerick suddenly burst intoughter.” Haha, look at you, so easily frightened. Just a little scare, and you’re all
flustered.”
Chloe exhaled in frustration. “You really shouldn’t scare me like that. You know I’m easily startled.”
<b>“</b><b>You </b>can’t even handle a little scare. If someone actually tried to kill you, you’d probably pee your pants!”
Yerick was curious to see how Chloe would react if faced with a real threat. The fear of death on this woman’s face would surely be fascinating to observe.
“You’re so morbid, talking about killing and stuff. Even though you’re my employer, I’m going to stop taking care of you if you keep scaring me. You’ll have to find someone else,” Chloe said, genuinely upset.
“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. After all, you’re older than me. I should show you some respect.”
Chloe rolled her eyes. “Respect? I’m only twenty–two, jus rour years older than you. I’m not that old!”
Yerick’s brows furrowed instantly, his gaze turning cold and distant.
Chloe felt a chill from his grim look. Though he hadn’t said a word, the eerie atmosphere seemed to suffocate her.
“You’re so timid,” Yerick said, pointing at her. “And you have the nerve to emphasize you’re older than me?”
Chloe pouted. “I’m not timid. I just…”
She found herself at a loss for words. After a moment’s hesitation, she finally said, “If you don’t want to admit I’m older, then fine.”
Honestly, though, she was curious to hear Yerick call out her name in respect. There was something sweet and charming about the way he addressed. Rosalie, even though he wore a different face in private.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that he might have a bit of a… yandere side.
Rosalie was heading towards Sebastian’s hospital room when Theodore approached her in the hallway.
She came to a halt.
It had been a week since shest saw him, and she felt a strange sensation-

Do you remember what we’re doing today<b>?</b><b>” </b>Theodore asked.
Rosalie <b>looked </b>up. “Yes, we’re going to that wedding Grandma mentioned.”
Theodore nced at his watch. “We should be heading out now. We’ll be back this afternoon.”
“Alright<b>, </b>I’ll go tell Sebastian. Can you wait for me here?”
Theodore nodded, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, patiently waiting for her.
Rosalie suddenly felt disoriented, as if familiar scenes from the part were shing before her eyes. It was like being transported back to a me before
their divorce.
Back then, their rtionship was gentle and serene.
Rosalie had never understood why Theodore left her for Cynthia–was it really
love?
If he loved Cynthia so much, why did he show such care and affection to
another woman<b>? </b>
Their memories were devoid of arguments and doubts. He had been attentive and caring, and she had thought him a responsible person. Even if he didn’t love her, he still treated her well as his wife.
When he brought up divorce, however, he didn’t hesitate and waspletely
indifferent.
It was onlyter that Theodore told her he had always loved her. That was when she realized their marriage had been harmonious; not because of ant illusion, but because they genuinely loved each other. Unfortunately, neither had expressed this openly. Both doubted the other.
Perhaps their love wasn’t pure enough. Otherwise, why would there have been. any doubts<b>? </b>
“What’s wrong?” Theodore asked, noticing Rosalie lost in thought.
Rosalie snapped back to reality<b>, </b>and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’ll be right back
She turned and walked away, with Theodore watching her retreating figure.
Back in the hospital room, Rosalie exined to Sebastian that she needed to attend a wedding. She conveniently left out that Theodore would be
apanying her.
Given Sebastian’s current condition, mentioning Theodore’s name would require further exnation. Rosalie feared such a revtion might be too much for Sebastian to handle, especially if he believed that all his memories were incorrect.
“Seb, I’ll try to be back as quickly as I can. Rest well, and if you need anything<b>, </b>just give me a call.”
“It’s alright, Rose. Just go. It’s actually nice to see you busy with your own life,” Sebastian replied, settling back into his pillows.
Rosalie tucked him in. “I’ll go now. I’ll bring you some candy when I return.”
Sebastian chuckled. “Honey, do you think of me as a child?”
“Yep, I’m treating you like one. So, you’d better grow up quickly.”
Sometimes Rosalie would tease him, and it would always make them both smile.
Sebastian nodded. “I’ll grow up quickly and be a real husband for you.”
Rosalie’s smile faltered; after a long pause, she forced a smile and said, “I’ll be going now.”
Once Rosalie left, Sebastian’s smile faded, reced by a slight frown. A fleeting look of confusion and a hint of unease crossed his dark eyes.
Why did she always avoid intimacy when he said something affectionate?
It wasn’t just avoidance in words, but in actions and expressions as well. It was as if she didn’t want them to get too close. But they were married, after all. Kissing, hugging, even sleeping together should be normal. So why the

Especially <b>the </bst time he kissed her he had clearly noticed her anxious look.
Her avoidance wasn’t obvious; he hadn’t thought much about it at first, but as it happened more frequently, It felt off. However, he just couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.
Rosalie arrived at Theodore’s side.
“Let’s go.”
Theodore stood upright. “Have you told Sebastian?”
Rosalie nodded. “Yes.”
“Did you tell him we’re going together?”
Rosalie replied, “That’s none of your concern. I don’t want to answer that.”
She wasn’t angry or indifferent, just calmi
Theodore’s eyebrows twitched slightly before he nodded. “Alright.”
She clearly hadn’t told Sebastian.
Rosalie let out a small sigh of relief. At least he wasn’t being as persistent as he used to be. It seemed that since thest conversation in the car, something about him had changed.
“What kind of clothes do you like? I’ll take you shopping,” he offered.
“No need,” Rosalie said. “I’ll just wear what I have on.”
She had specifically chosen a loose, light green dress for today. It was elegant and well–suited to cover her slightly rounded belly.
As her stomach grew, her clothes had be looser to conceal her pregnancy.
“You’re wearing that?” Theodore eyed her up and down. “Are you sure?”
Rosalie nced at herself. “What’s wrong with this? It’s a pretty expensive dress. It shouldn’t embarrass you.”

Theodore nodded. “Alright. You look great in that outfit. You look good in <b>anything</b><b>.</b>”
In fact, he wanted to say that she would look even better if she weren’t wearing anything and that he was the only one who could see her naked. Unfortunately, he no longer had that opportunity.
What used to be easy for him to experience and enjoy, he now couldn’t even
express.
Theodore couldn’t help but think of Rosalie and Sebastian, wondering whether that man had seen Rosalie without anything on.
Noticing the flicker of concern in Theodore’s eyes, R lie asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Theodore shook his head. “No, it’s nothing. Let’s go.”
He pressed the elevator button, and when the doors opened, they both stepped
inside.
Not far away, Yvonne ran over and repeatedly pressed the elevator button, but it was toote; the elevator was already descending. From a distance, she had seen Rosalie and Theodore standing together and stepping into the elevator, seemingly headed somewhere together.
Worried Theodore might harm Rosalie, Yvonne quickly pulled out her phone and called Rosalie.
As soon as Rosalie exited the elevator, she received Yvonne’s call and answered immediately. “Hello?”
“Rose, where are you right now?”
“I’m out for a bit.”
“Oh? Where are you going?”
“I’m attending a friend’s wedding.”
“A friend? Which friend?”
“A friend of my grandmother’s.”
“Oh I see. Are you <b>going </b>alone?”
Yes Rosalie <b>replied</b><b>. </b>Tm going alone. <b>Don’t </b>worry, I be back soon.
Rosalie <b>didn’t </b>mention <b>she </b>was <b>going </b><b>with </b>Theodore. After all, it was just a <b>wedding</b><b>. </b><b>Once </b>she returned, it would be as if nothing had happened. If she had <b>told </b><b>Yvonne</b>, it might provoke Sebastian, and others might worry. But for her grandmother’s sake, she had to go with Theodore.
“Alright, then. Have a good time,<b>” </b>Yvonne said.
Thanks. If Seb needs anything, call me immediately.”
Yvonne hummed in reply. “Alright, goodbye.”
After ending the call, Yvonne looked puzzled.
She said she was going alone, but why did she into the elevator with Theodore?
Yvonne didn’t dwell on it. She carried the flowers into Sebastian’s room, and found him staring off into space.
“Seb, what’s wrong?”
Sebastian snapped back to reality and turned. “You’re here.”
He didn’t remember this sister, but she felt familiar, as if they had a good rtionship before.
When their father had visited him earlier, he had instinctively felt some resistance. Their rtionship before the ident might not have been great.
“Seb, did Rose go out?”
Sebastian nodded. “Yes, she’s going to a wedding today.<i>” </i>
“Oh, she mentioned it to you.
Yvonne had thought Rosalie was keeping it from Sebastian, who seemed entirely dependent on Rosalie.
Nevertheless, it was clear Sebastian didn’t know Rosalie was meeting Theodore today.
Sebastian nodded<b>. </b><b>“</b>She told me. I hope she can spend more time doing her <b>own </b><b>things</b>. <b>I </b>feel guilty that she spends so much time on me.”
“<b>Seb</b><b>, </b>don’t think like that. Your situation is special right now. She wants to be with you, and it makes her feel at ease.”
“She said the same thing to me,” Sebastian said, his voice tinged with sadness. <b>“But </b>as her husband, I can’t do anything for her. I feel so ashamed. I wish I could get better quickly to protect her.”

A trace of sadness flickered in Yvonne’s eyes.
What to do?
Sebastian and Rosalie were cousins, but how, Sebastian had amnesia. Hel thought Rosalie was truly his wife, and had fallen for her. It was hard to imagine how he would react when the truth came out.
“I wish I could go with Rose to the wedding. I can’t even apany her to see her grandmother. I’m really a useless husband.”
Hearing Sebastian’s sighs, Yvonne tried tofort him. “Seb, don’t say that. Once you’re better, everything will be resolved.”
“Yes, but… I might never remember.” Sebastian said, his gaze falling. “I don’t know where Rose is now, or what kind of wedding she’s attending. I really wish I could be there with her. If she’s alone there and people ask where her husband is, what will she say? I really wish I could do something for her.”
He sighed deeply, and turned his head. “Thank you foring to see me, but, I’d like to be alone for a while, if that’s alright.”
Yvonne nodded. “Of course. I won’t disturb you any further. I’ll go get busy.”
“Alright. Thanks foring,” Sebastian murmured.
After Yvonne left the hospital, she went to the underground parking lot. Just as she was about to drive away, she saw the elevator doors open, and Theodore and Rosalie walked into the parking lot.
She had thought they had already left.
She quickly stepped aside and watched as they drew closer, clearly hearing their conversation.
“Rose, if you’re not feeling well, it’s okay to skip it.”
“I’m not unwell. I’m fine to go.”
“Really?”
Seeing the doubt in Theodore’s eyes, Rosalie said, “I just went to the restroom. Does that mean I’m unwell? If so, everyone in the world must be unwell.”
<b>But </b><b>you </b><b>went </b><b>to </b><b>the </b><b>restroom </b>and <b>wouldn’t </b>let me follow.” He was clearly <b>concerned</b><b>, </b><b>thinking </b>something was <b>off </b>with <b>her</b>,

Theodore stopped, and said somberly, I’m just worried about you. After the divorce, it feels like I’ve missed out on so much.”
Rosalie sighed softly. “Alright. I know you’re worried, but I’m really fine. Don’t make a fuss.”
Theodore gave a small nod, still looking concerned.
They both got into the car and drove away.

The wedding was a grand affair.
As soon as Rosalie and Theodore made their entrance, they attracted a lot of, attention. The CEO of SK Enterprise and his wife became the center of admiration.
At that moment, they had to present themselves as a couple. Rosalie had to link her arm with Theodore’s, ying the part of a loving spouse for the
onlookers.
Every smile and every word showcased the elegance of a high–societydy, with Theodore acting as more of a backdrop. He watched her throughout, his gaze filled with tenderness.
He gazed at her profile, admiring her smiling face, longing to kiss her. He missed her so much–her presence, her heart, and her body.
Noticing Theodore’s intense gaze, Rosalie turned to him and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Theodore’s cold voice echoed ominously through the room.
“Love alone isn’t enough. Being an idiot can destroy everything, even if you’re a match made in heaven.”
The moment Theodore’s words rang out, the room fell into an eerie silence.

“You.” Theodore suddenly confronted the groom, his gaze icy. “Are you sure you understand your own heart? Do you really know what you want? If, after marrying her, you enjoy everything she offers but start to act selfishly, causing her to cry and suffer, what will you do then?”
Theodore’s stare was piercing, leaving the groom momentarily speechless and visibly anxious.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you feeling guilty?” Theodore’s direct challenge made it seem as though he had a personal vendetta against the groom, further unsettling everyone.
