“How could it be so hot?” thought Leonardo.
Rosalind’s face was red, and her soft pink lips were sickly pale.
Leonardo stretched out his hand to touch Rosalind’s face and forehead, and his face suddenly
darkened.
Rosalind’s face and forehead were hot. He felt Rosalind’s burning breath on his fingers, but her hands
and feet were cold even though they were soaking in warm water.
Rosalind squinted slightly, looking confused and weak. Apparently, she had a fever.
Leonardo couldn’t help but swear as he didn’t realize that Rosalind had a fever until then.
Without hesitation, Leonardo wrapped Rosalind’s body in a towel, took. Rosalind out of the bathtub,
and put her on the bed.
However, even if Rosalind was covered with two quilts, Rosalind
remained huddled. Her body was cold, but her forehead was getting even
hotter.
“What happened to her? Why would she have a high fever? 104 degrees. Fahrenheit! Her brain will be
damaged if this continues!” called out Brett.
Leonardo called Brett, and although Leonardo was anxious on the phone, Brett didn’t take it seriously
and assumed that Rosalind was just having a normal fever. However, Brett didn’t expect Rosalind had
a high fever.
“She fell into theke,” answered Leonardo anxiously.
Leonardo sat beside the bed, holding Rosalind’s hands and rubbing them softly to warm her up.
“How could it be? How long has she been in the water?” continued Brett.
It was not very cold now. Brett assumed that Rosalind might have been in theke for an hour or two.
“Well, she was spotted pretty quickly. I think that only happened for about more than ten minutes.”

Leonardo thought for a while. It should only take more than ten minutes from someone calling for help
to him taking Rosalind ashore.
“No way. How could she have a high fever if she was only in the water for about ten minutes?”
Brett denied it subconsciously, but he had a serious look on his face. He examined Rosalind a bit more
carefully as he applied the medication.
After the examination, Brett had aplicated look on his face. Looking at Leonardo, Brett hesitated
for a moment and asked, “Has Rosalind ever had a serious illness before? Or been badly exposed to
cold?”
“Why do you ask that?”
Leonardo turned to look at Brett and felt that it was a strange question.
“She’s a bit resistant to drugs. I’m afraid she’s been on medication for a long time. Haven’t you noticed
that she’s much weaker than average?”
Rosalind was weak, but Brett gave Rosalind several times more. medication than others or that
wouldn’t work for Rosalind.
Rosalind either had a special constitution or had been on medication for a long time.
But Rosalind’s constitution was not special. Instead, she was very weak. and easy to get sick, which
made Brett specte that she had once been. seriously ill.
Moreover, Brett saw many marks of needle holes on Rosalind’s hands. Although these needle holes
were tiny and almost difficult to find, Brett, as the most famous general practitioner in Haldorin, found
them instantly.
When Brett gave Rosalind an injection, he noticed that Rosalind had a lot of pinholes on the back of
her hand, presumably from long-term.
infusions.
Leonardo didn’t speak. Five years ago, Rosalind was in excellent health and seldom got sick.
But Leonardo knew nothing about Rosalind’s life for the five years since she left, and Rosalind never
talked about it in front of him, so he didn’t know if Rosalind had ever been seriously ill. N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
He wondered what Rosalind had experienced in the past five years.

Leonardo clenched his fists by the bedside and slowly let go of them.
Brett said cautiously, “Look, she’s got a lot of pinholes on her hands. I guess… She should have been
seriously ill before.”
Brett showed Leonardo the pinholes on the back of Rosalind’s hand. When Leonardo took a closer
look, it wasn’t hard to find that Rosalind had a tiny whitish scar next to the injured pinholes, which was
a bit rough when touching it.
Looking at the tiny whitish scars on Rosalind’s hands, Leonardo felt sad and ufortable.
He wanted Rosalind to wake up right away so he could ask her what she’d been through in thest five
years and what had made her so fragile.
But looking at Rosalind lying weak on the bed, Leonardo didn’t dare to wake her up. He couldn’t bear to
see her being weak and pale.
Brett seemed to have realized this, so he didn’t continue to ask.
Brett cleared his throat and went on, I’ll give her an infusion today and prescribe a few more days of
medicine. Her fever should be gone. tomorrow morning. When she feels better, you’d better take her to
the hospital for a more careful examination or get her medical record to me!”
Brett knew that Leonardo cared about Rosalind. Seeing Leonardo in a low mood, Brett didn’t say much
and went to find a guest room to rest.
When only Leonardo and Rosalind were left in the room, they fell into a long silence.
Leonardo looked at Rosalind, who was lying quietly on the bed and frowned, feeling sorry for her.
Leonardo gently stroked his fingers over Rosalind’s furrowed eyebrow as if trying to take away her
pain.
He carefully tucked Rosalind in the quilt, turned the temperature of the air conditioner higher, walked to
the window outside the bedroom, and took a puff of the cigarette, which hadn’t happened in a long
time.
Since Rosalind saw him smokingst time, Leonardo had never smoked. again. But today, he was a
little depressed, so he smoked cigarettes to vent his bitterness.
Leonardo smoked for a long time until cigarette butts fell all over the

floor. He let out a long sigh and called someone.
“Mr. Brooks, are you kidding me? Do you know it’ste at night?”
Thomas’ voice was deep, h oar se, and impatient.
Of course, anyone would be enraged when he was woken up in a deep sleep.
Ignoring Thomas’ints, Leonardo said in a calm voice, “I want you to get me all the information
on Rosalind for those five years. All of it.”
Leonardo had long wanted to investigate it, but he wanted to ask Rosalind in person after they
reconciled. But now he realized that he knew nothing about those five years of Rosalind’s life and he
felt helpless. about it.
If Leonardo had known that Rosalind was in poor health, he would have stayed by her side and
prevented Rosalind from being hurt.
Thinking of this, Leonardo thought about Virginia. He wondered why Rosalind would fall into theke
with Virginia and why Rosalind’s dress would be torn apart.
Leonardo didn’t see it as a coincidence. After all, there weren’t that many coincidences in the world,
only truths that hadn’t been uncovered.
It seemed that Virginia was getting out of line.
Thomas eximed, “No way. All of Rosalind’s information for those five years? That would be a lot of
work. Mr. Brooks, that would also be arge amount of money.”
