The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1792

Rose noticed Morrison trailing behind her, and a sigh of relief escaped her lips. But what was up with Dr. Danny today? Why was he suddenly so chatty? It felt like he knew her better than anyone else. Had they become close without her realizing it? The men today were absolutely bonkers.

Her pace quickened, yet the man behind her caught up with ease.

“Rose!”

“What?” she replied, not breaking stride.

“You sure have a following, don't you?”

Rose, maintaining her principle of in one ear and out the other, chuckled lightly at Morrison's comment. “I've always been in high demand, and you know it. It's just a matter of whether or not I'm interested. You are the only blind one.”d2

Morrison was taken aback. Was she crazy?

Dr. Danny got up and closed the door, dialing a number on his phone. “I nailed it today. But that young man, Morrison, threatened to shut down my hospital. You guys can handle it.”

Chloe raised an eyebrow, “You seem to have really upset him.”

Danny scoffed, “Not really, there's room for improvement.”

Chloe asked, “Rose's prenatal check-up wasn't scheduled for today. How did you meet them?”

Danny sat down, propping his legs on his desk, “Haven't you seen the latest news on the internet? Rose came to see me today. She said she had experienced dizziness twice. Mr. Morrison came with her. They don't seem as deeply in love as the Internet suggests.”

Chloe’s face darkened. She was suspicious because of what she had seen online. Relationships that strong couldn't develop overnight. Just a few days ago, Rose had no hope for Morrison, and now they were the internet's sweethearts. Who were they fooling?

“How is Rose? Is she okay?”

“Of course, there's something wrong. The severity is yet to be determined. Emotional stress is the root of many diseases, especially for a pregnant woman. We have moved up her prenatal check-up to tomorrow. We will know more after the examination.”

“Remember to tell me the results, and don't scare her.”

Danny sighed deeply, “Jane is demanding the latest medical equipment.”

Chloe smirked, “Wait until Rose safely delivers her baby.”

Danny, “Why are you as stubborn as your husband?”

Chloe, “You're worried about Jane's medical equipment? You're lucky if you can keep your hospital.”

Danny, “...what's the benefit of this deal for me exactly?”

Chloe hung up and reopened her browser, scrolling through the news about Rose. She covered her forehead with her hand, her eyes closed, feeling a pang of sorrow.

Every time she saw Rose, she was carefree, enjoying life, but Chloe knew that Rose was putting on a brave face. She couldn't help Rose with her burdens, and it hurt.

Suddenly, she remembered Winston. She had forgotten to call him. When she did, he had just arrived at his mansion.

“What can I do for you?”

“You were supposed to take care of Rose. How did she end up in the hospital?”

Winston laughed, “My dear, I can't interfere with a couple's issues. Who knew that Mr. Morrison would cause so much trouble?”

Chloe blinked, “What did he do?”

Winston reclined on his couch, “Do you think he has no feelings for Rose? Why does he act so strange? Is he using this scandal to get closer to Rose?”

Chloe took a deep breath, “What exactly happened?”

Winston scoffed, “Before I came to R City, I had arranged for my assistant to liaise with the media here. They wouldn't dare ambush me after my warning. Unless someone influential in R City tipped them off.”

Chloe frowned. Morrison was the only one connected with Rose who had influence in R City.

Chloe bit her lip, her hand absently brushing her smooth forehead. So what was Morrison playing at? Was he jealous of Rose and Winston’s rumors? Or was there something else?

If it was about the family’s reputation, why would he invite the media to catch them in a scandal? He would have to be out of his mind.

During their time in college, she noticed that Morrison didn't despise Rose. In fact, their interactions, while seemingly ordinary, had a peculiar undercurrent. She was expelled from school before she could figure it out.

At the school reunion, she noticed Morrison's gaze lingering on Rose. She couldn't believe it. Rose meant so little to Morrison?

But what was Morrison thinking? Or... did he just not...

"Phew..." Chloe took a deep breath, sighing heavily with a troubled look on her face.

"Thump."

She felt a tap on her head. She touched her head, which didn't hurt that much, and looked up at Damon, who had approached her.

"You hit me again?"

"I was gentle." Damon glanced at her, sat beside her and took her into his arms. "Can't you just chill out? Are you going to work yourself up over nothing even when you're at home?"

Chloe pouted, "But Rose right now..."

"That's her stuff. Apart from worrying unnecessarily for her at home, what else can you do? You worry yourself sick and make her worry too. And then what? Both of you end up in the hospital, like a pair of drama queens, right?"

Angry, Chloe randomly ruffled Damon's handsome face with her hands. "Stop talking nonsense."

Damon caught her hand and kissed it gently.
