Yeah, the entire Rosefrost Hollow seemed to be buzzing with the same gossip.
Adide swayed slightly, as if the ground beneath her was giving way.
Everyone was saying the same thing.
They whispered that Stuart was indifferent to other women, that Adide was the only woman close
to him, that everyone envied Stuart''s affection for her, that it was only a matter of time before she
married into the prestigious Hetfield family.
But Adide knew the truth more clearly than anyone else. Stuart had no romantic feelings for her.
What Stuart was concerned with was her health condition. All he needed was for her to stay alive.
Before Morwenna appeared, Adide thought she could just bide her time next to Stuart.
Eventually, everything she desired would fall into ce. One day, she would take her rightful ce
by his side.
Countless attractive women from notable families had tried to catch Stuart’s eye, but he never
cared.
Morwenna was different. It wasn’t about social status or anything else. It was the way Stuart looked
at her.
Stuart’s gaze, which never lingered on anyone else, seemed frequently caught by Morwenna.
Realizing this, Adide felt a chilling sense of urgency. If she continued to wait, she might end up
with nothing.
Standing there as if soulless, she was snapped back to reality by Violet’s anxious shove. “What are
you sulking about? Speak up, girl! I warn you, you can''t afford to be cast aside by Stuart. What
would be of us if you were?”
Pushed forward, Adide stumbled and fell, her palmnding on the shards of a ss she had
knocked over earlier.
Violet, oblivious to Adide’s injury, continued her tirade.
A sudden resolve hardened in Adide’s heart.
No, she couldn''t just give up!
Today, Stuart had saved her first, indicating that in his heart, her health was more important than the
current situation with Morwenna.
She had to leverage this, regardless of whether Stuart loved her or not.
She must find a way to marry him!
She couldn’t afford to step back now. One step back, she’d lose everything.
Sitting on the floor, Adide muttered softly, “I’ll go see Stuart tomorrow.”
Violet breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s more like it. What about your brother?”
“I’ll figure out a way to get him into Rosefrost University.”
Only then did the scolding stop.
Helping Adide up from the floor, Violet softened her tone. “Adide, it’s not that I want to push
you, but you need to understand who your real family is. Even if you marry Stuart, you have to look
after us. We are your true support.”
“Okay, I know what I have to do.”
That day, everyone had their own stuff going on in their heads. Morwenna was no exception.
She thought of Stuart’s injury. He had jumped into the water to save Adide today. She worried
whether it might affect his wound’s healing.
At the party, she had been a bit upset, not even considering this.
Now alone in her quiet room, where she had spent the past few nights watching over Stuart as he
slept, she remembered the wound on his back.
Morwenna was torn. It must be healed, right? He was able to dive into the water to save Adide.
But what if it wasn’t? What if the wound got infected from the water?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She picked up her phone and dialed
Fletcher.

The phone was answered after just one ring.
“Dr. Vaughn, I’m sorry to bother you sote, but I need a favor,” Morwenna apologized.
Fletcher, recalling the moment Morwenna had emerged from the water earlier that day, replied,
“What’s up, Wenna? Just tell me what you need.”
“It’s about Stuart. His wound got wet today and I’m worried about an infection. Could you please
check on him?”
“Just that? Sure, I’ll head right over.”
“Thank you, Dr. Vaughn. I really appreciate it. Please don’t tell Stuart it was me who asked you to
come.”
“Alright, I won’t say a word.”
