Chapter 67


    Then, he ended the call


    Leonard red at the phone in his hand. After a while, he handed it over to the nurse beside him.


    There was no way he could not worry about that. It would be good if what Jonathan said were true. But


    sometimes, unawareness was often the scariest thing, just like what his son had told him back then.


    “Dad, I’ll never forget my responsibility for the Youngblood family because of a woman.”


    Still, his son abandoned the Youngblood family for a woman and even gave up his own life.


    “Go and find out who that woman is. I want to know everything about her in detail, Leonard instructed


    indifferently.


    “Yes, Mr. Youngblood, a man wearing a ck suit and gold-rimmed sses in the corner of the ward


    answered while quickly tapping on theptop keyboard.


    Rosaliey on the bed in the ward, and her mind was still all over the ce. There had been too many


    things since the night before, and she couldn’t get over them.


    The doctor and the nurse had just gone to the ward to perform basic examinations for her, including


    blood sampling and other tests. Once the blood sampling results came out that afternoon, they would


    n for her treatment ording to her condition.


    Suddenly, someone knocked on the ward door and pushed it open to walk in.


    Rosalie looked at the person. It was a graceful young man in a suit and tie who looked not much older


    than her.


    The man looked at Rosalie and smiled. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Leighton. I’m Carlos, Jon’s personal


    assistant. Here. This is your phone and bag. You may check whether any items are missing”


    Then, he put the phone and bag on Rosalie’s bedside table. When he was about to leave the ward,


    Rosalie suddenly stopped him. “Um… Who exactly is Jon”?”


    Carlos answered respectfully, “Ms. Leighton, You will naturally know when it’s time to know about it. I’m


    only a personal


    assistant.”


    “Do you know what’s going on in my hometown now?” Rosalie asked another question.


    Carlos did not avoid that question, though. “Well, your uncles, aunt, and their families have all been


    temporarily detained now. Your grandfather was also going to be detained by the police at first.


    However, he was allowed to be released on bail upon considering he was old and your grandmother


    would need someone to take care of her.”


    Rosalie was shocked. She did not expect so many people from her family to be detained suddenly. The


    only person who spoke up for her in the family was Wilma, her grandmother.


    When Rosalie thought of what had happened the night before, she felt bitterness in her heart.


    “By the way, the Foster family has also been detained at the police station now, Carlos added.


    After Carlos left the ward, Rosalie scanned the huge ward and mused, “Jon can afford a premium VIP


    ward like this and even has a personal assistant. Besides, not one but several doctors came to check


    on me just now, not to mention all of them are chief physicians, and they treated me with cautious


    respect. Of course, they are respectful to me not because of who I am but the Jon’ behind me. Who the


    hell are you, Jon?”


    Rosalie’s mind got even more cluttered. She picked up her bag on the bedside table and remembered


    she had left it at Wilma’s ce.


    She opened the bag, looked at the things inside, and found nothing was missing.


    As for her phone, it had been taken away by the Foster family once they discovered it and was


    currently off. Rosalie switched it on and saw there were a bunch of missed calls and text messages.

    They were from Wilma, Lillian, and some unknown users.


    Rosalie could tell the reason for Wilma’s call. As for Lillian… She looked at the phone and found almost


    20 missed calls from Lillian


    Rosalie hurriedly called Lillian back.


    Lillian quickly answered the phone. “Rosalie, is that you?”


    “Yeah. Well… My phone was switched off yesterday. I turned it on today and saw your missed calls,”


    Rosalie exined.


    jillian took a long breath before saying, ‘Gosh! I tried to call youst night but couldn’t get through. You


    told me that you would go to your granny’s ce on New Year’s Eve. I was worried that something


    might happen to you. Except for your granny, all the rtives in her ce will only rub salt into your


    wound.”


    Lillian went on and on. She told Rosalie that she had been calling her from the night before to that


    morning but still could not reach her. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she was. She


    had already nned to go to Wilma’s ce


    that afternoon if she still failed to contact Rosalie since she knew the address.


    “By the way, they didn’t stir up troublest night, did they?” Lillian was worried.


    “They wanted to sell me to a dimwit as a wife so that they could buy a house with the money,” Rosalie


    told Lillian what had happened at Wilma’s ce the night before without luding anything


    Lillian gritted her teeth in anger after hearing what Rosalie had said. “How can there be such a


    shameless person? How about you? You didn’t suffer any loss, did you?”


    “Fortunately, Jon saved me. I’m fine,” Rosalie reassured.


    “Have you returned to your rental home now? I’ll go and find you,” Lillian said.


    “Don’t. I-I haven’t gone back yet. I’m with Jon now. I’ll meet you when I go back.” Rosalie hurriedly


    stopped her.”


    Upon hearing that, Lillian reminded Rosalie to be careful before angrily saying. “Your family should


    learn a lesson. Otherwise, they might sell you again if you let them off easily


    “All right, all right. 1 got it, Rosalie said.


    After hanging up the phone, she looked at Wilma’s number among the missed calls hesitantly and


    wondered what she should say to Wilma. Should she pretend nothing had happened or let Daniel,


    Edward, and Sarah be punished as they deserved?


    She took a deep breath and called Wilma back. Not long after the call was answered, Wilina’s


    trembling voice sounded. “Rosalie?”


    “Yes.” Rosalie couldn’t help but feel her nose sting when she heard Wima’s voice.


    “Rosalie, you… Did anything happen to you yesterday I heard that a big shot saved you. Did Chris take


    advantage of you? Did they…


    “No, Granny. I’m fine. Nothing happenedst night.” Rosalie answered.


    “That’s good then. Wilma finally breathed a sigh of relief. “If something really happens to you, how


    should I face yourte mother when I leave?”


    Rosalie could only feel her nose fill with a kind of bitterness.
