Half an hour later, the doors to the emergency room swung open and a doctor in a white coat emerged. Elliot stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the doctor.
"How is she?” he asked.
"The patient is fine. She only suffered some superficial injuries which have been treated. The fainting was likely due to mild concussion and emotional distress," the doctor replied solemnly before attempting to leave again.
Elliot stopped him in his tracks once more with a puzzled look on his face. "Anything else?" The color of Elliot's eyes deepened as he spoke in a low voice, "When will she wake up?"
"It's not entirely clear at this point. While her injuries are not serious, it would be best for her to stay here for observation over the next few days just in case there are any lingering effects.”
“Hmm.”
Elliot muttered under his breath before turning to leave but was stopped by the doctor whe noticed something peculiar about him "Do you have an injury on your chest?"
"No,” replied Elliot coldly before walking towards Rase's hospital room without looking back.
Inside Rose's hospital room, everything was quiet with no sound at all. After standing outside for half a moment, Elliot tiptoed into her room so as not to disturb her sleep.
He sat down beside her bed and looked at her pale face with narrow eyes filled with tenderness
He couldn't understand why she was so stubborn; why did she refuse to come back even though she was still alive?
Was he really that repulsive?
As these thoughts ran through his mind, they made it difficult for him to remain calm
However, when Elliot saw Rose's dry lips that had turned white from dehydration; he finally sighed deeply.
In the next second, he got up and poured out some warm water before sitting back down beside Rose's bed once more. Using cotton swabs dipped into water cups nearby, He gently wiped off dryness from the woman's lips which were now pale. Looking at Rose's peaceful sleeping face made Elliot feel somewhat lost in thought.
‘Rose... this time I won't let you go anymore...
Meanwhile elsewhere inside their villa, Once Leah returned to the villa, her first priority was to find her scumbag father.
However, she waited through the entire night, and neither the scumbag dad nor her mommy retumed. The young girl sat alone on the living room sofa, eagerly gazing towards the direction of the door.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, she picked up the phone and dialed her mother's number, but no one answered.
Later, she dozed off on the couch in a daze.
When she woke up again. it was already morning.
Leah looked worriedly towards the door with her lips tightly pursed together.
Her scumbag dad and her mom hadn't come back all night. Could something have happened?
Should she contact Sean?
After waiting on the couch for too long, Leah unconsciously fell asleep again
The next day, when warm sunlight shone into the hospital room, Rose lying in bed with a pale face also slowly woke up.
She furrowed her eyebrows slightly and covered her head in pain but felt a layer of gauze instead.
The next second, a low and magnetic voice sounded in the hospital room. "Still hurting?”
Rose heard this familiar voice and suddenly widened her eyes.
Her red lips were tightly pressed together. The confusion in her eyes was now full of vigilance as she instantly recalled what had happened last night. She had been caught! She had fallen off!
Rose stared warily at the man sitting by her bedside: coldness filled every word that came out of her mouth. "What are you doing here?”
"Who else do you think brought you to the hospital?" Elliot opened his lips; his cold voice echoed throughout the entire ward.
Rose lowered-her gaze, emotions filled within-Rer eyes. It should be

As she struggled to sit up with one. hand supporting herself, Elliot stadd up froma beside the bed immediately and I picked up a pillow to place it befiind Rose's back. ~
The next second after he did so, his low yet hoarse voice rang out again. “Is your head still hurting?” “Thank you very much, Mr. Harper, for yesterday." After saying these words indifferently, Rose got ready to leave.
Just as she sat up, Elliot forcefully pushed her back onto the sickbed.
"You've suffered so many injuries already... Where do you want to go now?” Her lips tightened into a slight pout, her hand at her side involuntarily clenching, her gaze towards the man turning icy.
"Where I go, do I need to report to Mr. Harper?" she retorted
Elliot furrowed his brows, his hand

not-explode.
“
He stared sternly at the woman in front of him, her face stubborn but pale. "You're not allowed to go anywhere until your injury is healed," he said firmly.
With that, Elliot turned around and poured another cup of warm water for Rose.
He had noticed her pursed lips earlier - a subconscious action she only did when she wanted water.
After pouring the water, Elliot handed the cup to Rose and spoke in a low voice. "Drink it."
Rose looked up at him with an annoyed expression on her face and replied impatiently, "I don't want to drink it!"
Elliot's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he showed signs of impatience too. "Don't you know you need water when you're thirsty?”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
The woman widened her eyes and opened her lips slightly before saying firmly again, "I just won't drink it!"
Even if she was dying of thirst, she wouldn't take this man's offered water!
Upon hearing this response from Rose, Elliot lost his temper instantly; the temperature around him dropped even further than before.
“Don't forget that I saved your life yesterday!"
