Chapter 397
After Sherri lefi, Edward was left alone in the room, deep in thought.
He felt that what his sister said made sense. It was not all nonsense. Rose was indeed someone he had a crush on. Sherri was right.
He picked up his phone again and clicked on Rose’s profile picture. He continued to browse her posts. After finishing reading it, he held his phone and twirled it. His thoughts circled his hand as he recalled Sherri’s words. He was stunned and disappointed when he heard she had someone she liked.
He caught this feeling himself and felt very uncomfortable. He had the urge to ask clearly.
Based on Sherri’s words, he didn’t only have a good impression of Rose. It seemed like he had unknowingly fallen for her. Yes, he liked her.
Natalie’s name did not come to his mind now. It was also Rose’s shadow that came to his mind unexpectedly. Most of the time, it was the picture of her dancing awkwardly with others on the beach.
When he heard Sherri say Natalie’s name, he didn’t seem to have any reaction. Had he completely let go? Or was his love for Natalie not deep at all? Was it just out of habit?
Otherwise, he couldn’t explain his actions. How could he have forgotten about Natalie in such a short time?
The most important thing now was that Rose had always wanted to be his friend, but he wanted to make her his girlfriend. Moreover, Rose knew that he used to like Natalie. How should he explain this…
Edward’s head hurt at the thought of it. He put down his phone again and pinched the aching place between his eyebrows. His handsome face was surrounded by a depressed aura that filled the entire room.
Since the last trip, they had not seen each other for a while, but he could see her daily post to know if she was happy.
His heart urged him to pick up his phone again and send a message to the person with a profile picture of a pistachio. [What are you doing?]
There was no reply for a long time. It was so long that Edward placed his phone on the pillow in disappointment. Then it was the next morning.
It was in the Roberts family residence.
Rose was in as much of a hurry as ever. William also prepared breakfast for her as usual. Then, she took her breakfast and went out. Just as she walked out, a disdainful voice came from behind. “I’ll send you to work.”
Rose took a bite of the eggs made by William. It was yummy. “You’re so early today. Are you alright?”
“Wait here.” After saying that. Frank turned around and went to the dining table to get breakfast. Grace pushed milk, egg. and bread to him. William held a preservation bag in one hand.
After packing breakfast, Frank said to the couple, “I have to go.”
Grace replied calmly. “Okay”
William was happier looking at the harmonious back view of the siblings. The smile on his lips deepened. “Be careful on the road.
In the car, Rose thought of what William had said about being careful on the road. She couldn’t help but remind her brother, who was eating breakfast with one hand in the driver’s seat, “Eat later. Send me there first, or I’ll be late.
Frank glared at her and kept eating his breakfast as if it had nothing to do with him. “If you had taken yourself off the bed a few minutes earlier, you wouldn’t be in such a hurry now”
“Hey, just eat it later. Please, if you do this, I’ll be late. Why don’t you get Tom to send me?” Rose put her hands together and chewed the egg at the same time.
Frank made a firm decision. “From today onward, I’ll send you to work.”
“What? What are you trying to do?” Rose looked alarmed. That meant that she had lost all her freedom. Moreover, what was wrong with him?
Frank felt that Rose had been acting strangely recently. Last night, she slept in the tortoise doll. And she meditated every day. He was sensitive and felt that something was wrong
“Tom has gone back to his hometown these few days. I’ll send you to work and pick you up. I will not let you be late. After saying that, he quickly stepped on the accelerator. With this speed, Rose believed her brother would not let her be late.
Alright. It didn’t matter who sent her to work. She didn’t do anything bad anyway.
She agreed generously. “Alright, since you insist on giving me a ride, I’ll reluctantly agree. However, there’s one thing. You have to be dedicated. I can’t… be….. late”
Frank ignored her and drove seriously. Tom also had a tough time helping this wretched girl rush to work every day.
The car stopped at the outpatient building and Frank quickly parked in the parking lot.
Rose looked at the time and could not help but praise him. “Not bad. There are five minutes left. Bye, I’m leaving”
“I’ll pick you up after work.”
“Got it. Rose ran and waved at her brother behind.
She bumped into Sherri, who was rushing to work. The two of them walked arm in arm. “Why are you so late too?”
Rose asked in confusion. Sherri had always come to the hospital early. Sherri would be standing at the front desk and gossiping every time she arrived.
Last night, Sherri chatted with Hackett about the person her brother liked for half the night and overslept in the morning. “It was a mistake. My brother told me last night that he had someone he liked, causing Hackett and I to use a lot of elimination methods in bed, but we couldn’t figure out who she was. In the end, I was almost late in the morning. Okay, it’s my floor. You should hurry to work.”
As they spoke, Sherri reached her floor. She rushed in and waved at Rose.
Someone he liked?
Did Edward have someone he liked? Or was it Natalie?
Why did she feel a little upset when she heard this news? Oh, no! Rose, who had watched too many soap operas, diagnosed herself in a second. She did like Edward, this refined man.
Oh, no, no!
She quickly walked into her pediatric consultation room. Her heart was pounding. This was an abnormal state. She was in heat. Rose pressed her chest with both hands. A nurse walked past and asked with concern, ‘Dr. Roberts, are you feeling
unwell?”
Rose took a deep breath and replied dejectedly, “I might be terminally ill. I’m doomed.”
The nurse’s eyes were filled with sympathy. Rose didn’t mean that she had a terminal illness, but in the nurse’s eyes, in a place like a hospital, the nurse misunderstood and thought Rose had a terminal illness.
When Rose looked up, she saw tears in the nurse’s eyes. She did not have time to explain because she was being late. “It’s not what you think”
The nurse said, “It’s alright, Dr. Roberts. We’ll treat you if you’re sick. The medical skills in Athana Hospital are quite good. Good luck.
Rose walked into her consultation room without looking back. All that was left was speechlessness. It seemed that this matter could not be shared with Sherri. She put on her white coat and thought about what to do. She knew about her feelings but was helpless because Edward had someone in his heart. She had decided that she would not fill the hole.
She couldn’t share it with Natalie either. Natalie didn’t know that Edward liked her.
Oh! She was so annoyed because she couldn’t tell anyone about it. It was so hard for her to keep it in her heart. Should she tell Ava? But what was the difference between telling Ava and Frank?
Ava would tell Frank immediately anyway. Or should she tell Frank? He probably wouldn’t beat her to death. It was so annoying. She needed to talk to someone about it.
Rose took a deep breath, telling herself in her heart to be calm and cool.
Rose did not run to the two pregnant women’s consultation room right away during the lunch break. Instead, she turned. on her phone and searched online. “What should I do if I fall in love with someone I shouldn’t?”
There were many suggestions online, like starting a new relationship, finding a boy who liked you, and looking at boys who were pleasing to the eye to forget about that man.
Some said she should confess bravely because the other party might like her too. If the other party didn’t like her, it was also the best way to give up.
Some even said she should test him. She should deliberately appear in front of the other party and chat with other boys to see the other party’s reaction.
Rose wondered why the method was so scheming. It was too scheming to be her style.
No wonder it was said that people shouldn’t search the Internet when feeling unwell. They were fine when they did not do
