Just three words were enough to tear apart the mask Rosalind had struggled to maintain.
Even in his unconscious state, he was still calling her name…
“Forget me, Ulric.”
If time could turn back, she would have deleted Ulric’s WeChat the first chance she got, and wouldn’t have even joined the classmates’ group! That way, she would never have met this man.
He gave her the world’s one and only, most precious and purest love.
It was the most blatant favoritism Rosalind had felt in her over twenty years of life!
Unfortunately, the love experience ticket had expired, and she had to turn back from a princess into Cinderella.
“Rosalind…”
Ulric, with his eyes tightly shut, murmured again and seemed to be saying something.
Rosalind carefully leaned in to listen and barely made out what he was saying.
He said-don’t divorce.
…
Ulric’s hospitalization couldn’t be kept a secret after all.
When Sirena hurried to the hospital and saw Johnny, she immediately started blaming him.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What if something dangerous happened!”
“He didn’t want anyone to know,” Johnny raised an eyebrow. “I’m telling you because I’m upset!”
Sirena sensed something off in his words. “What do you mean?”
“He drank himself into this state because of Rosalind, and when she came, she didn’t even care,” Johnny said angrily. “If it weren’t for her, would Ulric’s mother have ended up in the emergency room multiple times? And that woman didn’t appreciate it; she even said being with Ulric was stressful and wanted to break up!”
“Rosalind has always been like this. She’s very cold-hearted,” Sirena said expressionlessly. “Otherwise, would she have framed me?”
Johnny snorted. “But karma has its way. She had a physical check-up at this hospital and found out she can’t have children! Ha, a woman like her shouldn’t have kids anyway; she doesn’t deserve it!”
“Wait a minute,” Sirena interrupted him, her eyes flashing as she confirmed again, “You said Rosalind can’t have children?”
“Yeah! I saw the doctor telling her with my own eyes, even advising her to discuss with her husband what to do next.”
Johnny continued talking to himself, not noticing the uncontrollable smile forming at the corners of Sirena’s mouth!
If Rosalind couldn’t have children, then Sirena wouldn’t have any worries! She didn’t want to end up being someone else’s stepmother if a child came into the picture later.
“I’m going in to see him.”
“Hey, wait-”
Before Johnny could finish his sentence, Sirena had already pushed open the door to the hospital room.
On the bed, Ulric was still unconscious, his bloodless lips tightly pressed together, and his brows furrowed.
It was rare to be this close to him; Sirena even wished time would slow down, slow down even more! How wonderful it would be if he could always be this quiet and not reject her?
She hated his so-called gentlemanly manners and his upbringing!
If Ulric were like those men in the workplace who always had their eyes on her, everything would be solved easily and everyone would be happy.
Sirena raised her hand slowly towards Ulric’s cheek. It was something she had always wanted to do but never had the chance! She thought today she could finally make it happen, but…
“What are you doing?”
