Chapter 209 A Loving Couple
Rose was struck dumb.
Glaring at Jonathan, she declared, "You have to go!"
"Fine. I'll go if you agree. You have to agree to everything I said just now."
Rose was speechless. What did he want her to agree to?
All she cared about right now was not wasting any more time, lest the fever ended up damaging his brain. She could not spare any attention for what he said earlier.
She simply thought he had said those things while feverish and was unlikely to remember what he said.
"Yes, fine. I agree. I'll do everything you say. Can we go to the hospital now?"
Jonathan immediately became docile.
"Okay."
Rose dragged him down the building and shoved him into his car before driving to the hospital.
Once they arrived, someone recognized Jonathan. Before Rose even registered him as a patient, a bunch of doctors and nurses surged over and took Jonathan to the emergency room.
Even as he was brought to a hospital room and hooked up to an IV drip, she was still a little dazed.
When she went to settle the hospitalization paperwork, she was told that everything had been sorted out already.
"Excuse me. Are you Ms. Rose? Mr. Finch... keeps calling out your name
A nurse approached Rose and addressed her with an unusual amount of courtesy.
The entire hospital staff knew that the patient in the VIP hospital room was a prominent figure that even the hospital director treated with the utmost deference.
Meanwhile, that VIP kept calling for someone named Rose. The nurse looked at Rose with an admiring gaze. Rose was dumbfounded.
Noticing the suggestive look in the nurse's eyes, Rose quickly averted his eyes and hurried to the hospital
room.
"Rose
Jonathan's eyes were closed.
Tmhere," Rose replied.
When she touched his hand, he immediately clutched hers. It seemed as if he would only feel at ease if he held onto her. The nurse witnessed the whole thing and could not resist marveling in envy. "You two are such a loving couple. I won't disturb you, Mrs. Finch; If there's anything, you can come to us at any time. We're right outside.
Rose was reminded of the way Finley had called her Mrs. Finch when he saved her the other day.
"Mrs. Finch..." Rose murmured.

For some reason, it felt strange. Still, she did not dwell on it. Throughout the night, she kept an eye on Jonathan's temperature.
At 4:00 am, his temperature had gone down and stayed that way for some time, so she finally rested her head on the edge of the bed and fell asleep. She woke up at 10:00 am. When she opened her eyes, she noticed the peculiar atmosphere in the hospital room. The doctors and nurses were smiling. Whenever they glanced at her, their gazes were slightly teasing. Rose was startled. Was there something on her face?
Before she could check her face, she spotted Jonathan sitting on the couch. He was still attached to an IV drip, and the doctor had just finished changing his bandage. After blanking out for a moment, Rose realized she was lying on the hospital bed.
The bed in the VIP hospital room was quite large. Though she was under the blanket, it had molded her form. Everyone could see the way she was splayed out in bed with her legs open wide. Rose was stunned. She instinctively shot up. As if the bed were on fire, she jumped out at once. In her rush, she ended up losing her balance. Just as she was about to fall, someone grabbed her. Before Rose snapped out of her shock, she heard a muffled groan.
It was only then that she realized it was Jonathan who caught her. She was leaning against his injured side, and his freshly changed bandage was beginning to soak with blood again.
"Doctor! Doctor...
Rose swiftly stood up straight to let the doctor change Jonathan's bandage once more. During the process, she saw his wound. It did not look like a knife wound but a bullet wound instead. Why would a normal person come into contact with a gun? Seemingly sensing Rose's suspicion, Jonathan tapped her on the forehead and tried to distract her.
"I'm hungry."
Rose did not speak. Was he hungry?
"I'll buy you something for breakfast," she said after snapping out of her thoughts.
Jonathan must have been the one who carried her onto the bed last night. Since she had taken up his bed, it would have affected his sleep.
Before leaving, Rose turned around and said to Jonathan, "I didn't kick out of the bed on purpose. You should try to get some more sleep."
Jonathan stared at her and openly stated right in front of all the hospital staff in the room, "When did you Kick me out of the bed? It's a big bed. There's enough space for both of us."
Rose was startled. What did he mean by that? Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses began to survey the two with amused looks.
One of the younger nurses chimed in, "Yes, that's right it's a big bed. It's enough for the two of you to sleep together, Mr. and Mrs. Finch.

The nurse recalled what she saw this morning. Rose had been sound asleep with her head resting on Jonathan's shoulders.
The staff almost thought they had accidentally barged into the bedroom of a loving couple.
Later on, to avoid disturbing Rose, Jonathan carefully got out of bed and went over to the couch before he allowed the doctor to check on his injury.
He moved so gently as if he feared disrupting her dreams.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Though Rose did not know what happened this morning, the playful looks in the hospital staff's eyes were enough to make her feel the urge to run and hide.
"You're hungry... Right. Breakfast. I'll buy some breakfast." Rose practically fled from the room.
Lately, the upper society of Aquastead paid close attention to the sanctions the Finches had imposed against the Lanes.
In just a few days, the Lanes went from being one of the most prominent elite families in Aquastead to being on the verge of bankruptcy.
Chloe had pleaded with every single family the Lanes had ties with in the past, but under these circumstances, no one dared to maintain any kind of relationship with the Lanes. When the Finches began making their move, many other families and corporations got the hint and cut off all ties with the Lanes. Chloe wanted to meet Jonathan and beg for mercy in person. Yet, despite having someone wait at both the Aquastead Hotel and Finch Building, there was still no sign of Jonathan. Chloe had no other choice but to find Rose who was her only hope. She did not know what Nixon had done to Rose, but if Rose did get injured, she would be at the hospital Therefore, Chloe came to Harmony Hospital which belonged to Finch Group. As soon as Rose stepped out of the hospital, Chloe spotted her.
"Rose... Rose..."
Chloe stumbled over to Rose and fell on her knees. Rose was taken aback. Wasn't this Chloe?
"What are you doing, Mrs. Lane Senior? Please get up.
Rose tried to help Chloe up, but Chloe refused to get off her knees. There were-a-lot of passersby at the hospital entrance. The scene immediately drew a curious crowd.
"I'm begging you, Rose. Please ask Mr. Finch to go easy on the Lane family," Chloe begged as she looked at Rose.
Just a few days ago, Chloe was still a spirited old woman with a scheming mind. But now, everything from her white hair to her fatigued expression conveyed the bitterness of her suffering.
Rose frowned. Only yesterday, she told Jonathan that she would not ask him to go easy on the Lanes.
Nixon had indeed plotted against her, but it was the scheming and manipulative Chloe who was behind it all.

Rose recalled the way Chloe had made Nixon and Kelly break off their engagement while attempting to force her to be with Nixon once more. She could not feel any sympathy for Chloe's present predicament.
