Of course, Ulric could guess that Cedric would be astonished when he saw this news.
After all, this request was indeed unlike something he would propose! But he always felt a connection with that little girl and believed they would meet again in the future.
…
Rosalind stayed in the hospital until the evening when Tilda called to inquire. Seeing that she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer, she finally mentioned her hospitalization.
Before long, Tilda rushed to the hospital with Floyd in tow. As soon as she entered, she started shouting, “Let me see which scoundrel hit you!”
“Shh, this is a hospital! Keep your voice down,” Rosalind quickly gestured with her finger and then smiled at her. “I’m fine now, see? I’m alive and well.”
“You’ve been beaten and you say you’re fine! Rosalind, I think you should quit your job. This kind of work is dangerous; you shouldn’t do it anymore!”
Tilda stood by the bed with an indignant look, hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to take revenge on whoever was responsible.
Rosalind knew she was worried about her, but…
“Tilda, I need money to restore that surveillance footage. If I don’t earn money, it means giving up the right to know the truth!”
That was her mother! The mother who had painstakingly raised her. She couldn’t just watch her be harmed without any evidence and be helpless.
“If you need money, isn’t it easy? As long as you’re willing to be with my brother-”
“Tilda!” Rosalind immediately interrupted.
Tilda pouted and turned her face away angrily.
Floyd didn’t quite understand what they were arguing about, but she saw the IV needle in her mommy’s hand and immediately went over to touch it. Her big eyes instantly reddened, filling with tears. “Mommy… does it hurt?”
Rosalind quickly smiled, propped herself up, and held her daughter in her arms. “Mommy is fine. Don’t cry. Floyd looks much better when she’s smiling!”
“Did someone bully Mommy? Floyd will help you fight them!” Floyd wrapped her small arms around her mommy’s neck and rubbed against her. “Floyd has grown up and can protect Mommy now!”
“Yes, my Floyd is the best.” Rosalind patted her head, then took a deep breath as if making a significant decision. “Tilda, I plan to finish the resort project and then move abroad with Floyd. I’ve already informed the company.”
Tilda raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
Rosalind nodded. “I can’t let my child grow up without a mother’s love. But it’s too dangerous here; I have to be cautious. It’s better to leave.”
She felt that staying in the country would only keep those unwarranted thoughts alive.
Even if she deceived herself, she couldn’t deceive her heart.
It was like… like when she was in danger, she would still hallucinate hearing that person’s voice.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she shouldn’t continue like this.
“Fine, I’ll support whatever decision you make! Anyway, if you leave the country, I’ll follow you. If you’re busy, my brother is also abroad and can take care of me. You two can’t get rid of me!”
“Tilda, thank you so much for all these years.”
“Stop, stop!” Tilda rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to hear that. I just want you to stay out of any danger!”
Just as Rosalind was about to speak, she suddenly saw a shadow flash past the door of the ward. It was a male doctor.
Not Lion, nor Mr. Wong.
