The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1617

Chloe's words caused Yasmine's expression to darken suddenly. The underlying implication in Chloe's words triggered a subconscious resistance within her. "Are you done?" she looked up at Boyd, "She's fine, can you leave now?"

Boyd looked at her, "I can drive you home."

Yasmine closed her eyes tightly, "Are you sure you want to keep pushing this?"

Boyd stared at her intensely for a moment, then, with a sigh of resignation, he gave in. "Alright, take care of yourself. I'll leave first."

"Take your men with you."

Boyd didn't argue, "Fine."d2

Yasmine lowered her gaze, gently caressing Chloe's delicate hands, her face remaining tense, and she didn't utter another word.

Boyd scanned the few people in the hallway. As he turned to leave, they seamlessly fell in step behind him. Only when their figures had retreated into the distance did Chloe glance at Yasmine. "Since he wants to arrange it, free bodyguards are better than none."

"Whether I live or die, it's none of his business."

Chloe squeezed Yasmine's hand, disagreeing silently.

Yasmine pursed her lips and let out a sigh. "Do you still have the energy to worry about others?"

"No."

Despite not finding any significant issues during the examination, the injury on her knee made Nate insist on booking a ward room and hiring the best nurse to keep a close watch on her. If something happened to Chloe while Damon was away, it wouldn't end well for him.

The ward room was decent, so Yasmine decided not to go home and stay with Chloe for the night. The quiet room, with only the two of them, was perfect for deep conversations. But aside from mundane matters, neither of them broached the topic that they both wanted to know the most.

Not because there was a barrier between the mother and daughter, but because they didn't want to touch each other's privacy, afraid that they might accidentally hurt each other over the years they had been apart.

"Rose is going back in a few days. The Witt family has been rushing her. She is pregnant and shouldn't stay away for too long."

Rose, just like a child raised in a foster home, had been comfortably bouncing between Chloe and Yasmine's homes. But no matter how comfortable she was, she was no longer the same as before.

Chloe's eyebrows knitted slightly, "Who's rushing her to go back?"

"The old lady from the Witt family." Yasmine replied, "She called our home yesterday, and she sounded quite anxious. She didn’t seem to know that Rose had come to P City."

Chloe's heart twinged slightly, and she blinked as she looked at the ceiling of the ward room. "Rose has been out for nearly a month. The Witt family is just finding out now."

Yasmine's eyebrows furrowed. "Are you saying that the Witt family is not treating her well?"

Chloe shook her head, "Megan loves Rose. But since they live in a separate marital home, it's easy for Rose to hide and avoid the Witt family's calls. But she has been out for so long, and Megan probably just found out that Rose is in P City. I've been wondering what Morrison has been thinking during this month while Rose was away, especially when he's alone in that empty house. Or ..."

Her voice gradually softened, and Chloe's expression became more somber.

"Or what?"

"Or perhaps Morrison never even showed up at that house."

A long silence filled the room.
