Roseâs sudden cardiac arrest was no small matter. Silas took her to the hospital and notified Alyssa to come and visit.
He knew his little clot her brother.
little sisterâs temperament. Keeping this a secret any longer would lead her to disown him as Early the next morning. Alyssa and Sean rushed back from Belbanks to the hospital where Rose was hospitalized in Solana City.
âSilas, what happened? How could Rose have a heart attack?â Alyssa was in distress, tears swirling in her eyes.
âThe doctor said Rose has a weak constitution and a heart condition, but itâs not too severe.â
A heart condition?
Alyssa shivered, and Sean hurriedly supported her trembling figure.
She felt awful for Rose.
Not only was Rose her apprentice, but she was also her best friend. Yet she didnât even know about her physical condition.
What a disappointment she was in her role as a mentor!
Recalling Rose and her familyâs phone call last night, Silas clenched his fists silently.
His voice was hoarse as he explained, âShe had a sudden emotional outburst, leading to a heart attack.
Luckily, I was there. Otherwise, the consequences could have been disastrous.â
After taking Rose to the hospital last night, he called Alyssa, briefly explaining how they had met.
However, he hadnât disclosed the conflict between Rose and her family.
âEmotional outburst? What happened?â Alyssa always liked to dig deep into the affairs of those around her.
In her eyes, Rose was always carefree, not taking anything too seriously. Why would she-
âLyse, letâs wait for Rose to wake up and let her explain it to you herself.â

âMr. Silas, were you with Ms. Emerson all night? Did you take her to your place?â Sean couldnât help but ask curiously.

Wasnât he always allergic to women?
âYeah,â Silas admitted it honestly. âGiven the urgency of the situation last night, I was afraid she might encounter more trouble, so I took her home.â
âAnd then, and then, and then?â
Alyssa shook Silasâs arm eagerly, asking, âWhat else did you guys do? Huh?â
âYouâre such a curious baby. Why so many questions?â Silas playfully flicked her forehead, but his heart was unexpectedly beating fast.
He wasnât sure if Rose remembered the passionate kiss last night.
When she woke up, should he or should he not-
At this moment, the door to the ward opened, and a nurse walked out.
âThe patient has awakened.â
Without a second thought, Alyssa rushed in, her worry evident.
Meanwhile, Sean stayed outside the room, watching Silasâ face gradually redden. Puzzled, he asked, âMr.
Silas, are you running a fever?â
âHuh?â Silas snapped out of his daze.
âYour face is really red. Are you sure youâre okay?â
Silasâ heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled nervously. âIâm fine. Iâm fine.â
Sean cleared his throat, silently smiling.
