Chapter 1146
"I'll bring Steve to visit Grandma often. If she wakes up and still remembers me, I'll keep her company regularly," Rosalie said gently.
Theodore stood up with the baby in his arms. "Rose, it's already very late. Let me take you home to rest. The baby's tired too. He can't stay in the hospital all the time. He's so young, and he has a weak immune system."
Rosalie nodded. "Alright."
If she were alone, she wouldn't have minded staying. Now that she had Steve, she had to be more mindful.
Theodore escorted Rosalie out of the ward. Before leaving, he instructed the bodyguards to ensure Rebecca's safety.
"Theo, I can go back by myself. You don't have to send me. You should rest early too," Rosalie said.
"It's fine," Theodore said. "I'll take you home first, and then I'll rest. I've booked a hotel near the hospital."
Rosalie wanted to say more, but Theodore immediately added, "No need to refuse. Let's go. I won't feel at ease if I don't send you back this late." "Alright, then."
Rosalie reached out to take Steve, but Theodore said, "I'll hold him. You can take him after we get in the car."
Seeing how tired Rosalie looked, Theodore decided to hold Steve. Steve wasn't light, and carrying him for too long could be exhausting. As a man, he didn't mind the strain, but Rosalie had been frail ever since giving birth. Caring for the baby must have been taxing for her.
Rosalie didn't argue. "Alright."
Theodore walked alongside her. As they strolled, Rosalie asked, "How are Aurora and Angie doing?"
"I didn't let them come. I don't have the energy to deal with them right now. They can do as they please."
"Theo," Rosalie said, "I feel like something's off about Grandma falling down the stairs."
Her comment made Theodore frown. "Why do you think it's suspicious?"
"Why was it Aurora and Angie who happened to hear the commotion?"
Hearing this, Theodore said, "Rose, do you suspect they're the culprits?"
"I'm not sure. I just feel uneasy."
Her instincts told her that things weren't as straightforward as Aurora and Angie claimed. However, without evidence, she couldn't make baseless accusations.
"Rose, I don't think it's likely. I believe Aurora was telling the truth. Their rooms are close to the staircase. It makes sense they heard the noise and came out to see Grandma falling. If you suspect them, it would mean they caused Grandma to fall, but they don't have any motive."
Based on what he knew of Aurora, she wouldn't do something so malicious. She was kind and gentle, so how could she possibly commit such a cruel act?
Seeing Theodore defend Aurora, even though his tone was calm and his reaction measured, Rosalie could sense his inherent protectiveness toward her.
Rosalie didn't have any evidence to
ne
tie Aurora to the incident, so she couldn't push the matter further. She
awant to argue with
Theodore over this.
"Alright, let's wait for Grandma to wake up before discussing this again."
Theodore nodded. "Once Grandma wakes up, we'll know exactly what happened. The doctors said she's recovering well."
As the two walked out of the hospital, Aurora and Angie hid in a corner, having secretly followed them and overheard their conversation. Aurora's palms were sweaty.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"It's just as we suspected," Angie said through gritted teeth. "That vile woman is badmouthing us to Theo, trying to pin this on us!"
Though Angie called it an
accusation, deep down, both of
them knew the truth. They were fully aware they had caused the incident. But outwardly, they had to feign innocence.
