Had he—
She must be overthinking. How could he be worried about her? If anything, he was merely worried that his children would lose their mommy.
Tapping on the messages application, she found a message from Josephine Ares. 'Sister-in-law, Jay's been admitted into Grand Asia's ICU. Please take care of him for me.'
"How could this be?" Rose stared at the day the message was sent. That was three days ago!
Unease began to dwell in Rose's chest.
Fear filled her heart.
For a man who held himself with such indifference, just how much despair had he felt to drive himself to the point of lying in ICU?
She felt an unexpected clench in her heart.
Tears began to stream freely down her cheeks.
Suddenly, she dropped to her knees. Clasping her hands together, Rose prayed. "Please, God. Please, let him go. Exchange my life for his. Exchange my health for his. Exchange my fortune for his. Take my peace, safety, my health in exchange for his good health."
However, nothing she did seemed to placate the
anxiety within her. In a daze, Rose rushed outside.
Reaching Grand Asia Hospital, she was met with the sight of Josephine waving at someone inside Jay's Rolls-Royce. "Take care, Jay. Rest well.”
The weight on Rose's chest lifted.
His life was no longer in danger.
Turning around, she walked away slowly.
The Rolls-Royce roared as it suddenly sped past her.
Rose was stunned...
Was that not a little too impolite?
He had just gotten better and now he was being arrogant again?
Bidding the Rolls-Royce farewell, Josephine turned back to enter Grand Asia's medical department.
