Chapter 597
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
His eyes were like a warning to her not to say another word. Otherwise, he might flip out at once.
Fiona gritted her teeth, a troubled look spread across her face.
âFiona, you should go back too. I have a caretaker here, so you donât need to take care of me,â Calvin said.
However, Fiona was not willing to accept it. âI have nothing to do anyway. Iâll stay in the hospital.â In her opinion, that was the best time for her to prove her worth.
âThatâs not necessary,â Calvin refused again.
Fiona felt he was putting her to shame with his repeated refusals, but she couldnât lose her âIâll go back first, then.â After saying that, Fiona walked out of the ward.
Only Calvin and Rosalie were left in the Ward.
temper.
âIn fact, you really donât have to say that to your mother. It is norinal for her not to like seeing me. I understand,â Rosalie said.
Calvin stared at Rosalie and said, âIf you can understand why my mother doesnât like to see you, can you understand why I said those words, then?â
Rosalie was stifled. How could she not understand? It was just⦠âYou and I are notâ¦â
Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her, âIf you want to refuse me, then you donât have to say it. If you donât think I am so annoying and contemptible to the extent that you will definitely not fall for me, please stop saying those words again, okay?â
Calvin spoke in a low voice. The high and mighty scion of the entertainment industry was pleading with her in such a subservient manner.
Rosalie felt a lump in her throat. Calvin was still wrapped with gauze on his body and head at the moment. He sustained all those injuries for the sake of saving her.
âIâll peel an apple for you.â She changed the topic and took out a red apple from the fruit basket she brought.
âOkay.â He smiled.
She took a small fruit knife from the coffee table and began to peel the apple for him carefully.
Because her fingers had been injured, she looked a little clumsy when she peeled the apple, but in Calvinâs opinion, she was so beautiful.
She sat quietly beside the bed, looking down and peeling the apple skin bit by bit. The sunlight shone on her through the glass window of the ward, creating a serene and blissful scene.
He wished he could take a picture of that scene and frame it, etching that image into his mind permanently.
âHere you go,â she said while handing him the apple. Suddenly, she became lost in her thoughts.
In the past, she had peeled apples for another man, who smiled happily while eating the apples she peeled.
âWhatâs wrong?â Calvinâs smile faltered because of Rosalieâs dazed demeanor.
âItâs nothing,â she hurriedly said. âHurry up and eat.â
Then, she put the peeled apple in his hand.
He took the apple, but he didnât eat it immediately. Instead, he looked at her. The expression in her eyes just now was sad. It was as if she was reminiscing about others while looking at him.
He wondered, âWhen she looked at me, who did she think of?â
The doubt flashed across his mind, and then an answer vaguely surfaced.
âDid you just think of Jonathan?â Calvin asked. In fact, he couldâve not asked, but his pride prompted him to blurt out the question.
Rosalie held her breath and fell silent.
However, her silence made him understand that he was right.
âEven if Jonathan still holds a place in your heart, Iâll wait. One day, youâll let go of him and fall in love with me,â Calvin murmured.
âThatâs not true. I have no feelings for him anymore,â Rosalie denied.
âThatâs great if thatâs the case,â Calvin murmured. âIn this case, maybe I can wait for a shorter time.
Rosalie, you donât hate me, do you?â
Rosalie pursed her lips and thought, âHate? Why would I hate Cal?â
At that moment, Calvinâs phone suddenly rang. After he picked up the phone and listened for a while, his face changed slightly. Then, he said in a deep voice, âOkay, I got it!â
After finishing the call, Calvin/said seriously to Rosalie, âThe mastermind of the car accident has been found out.â
âWhat?â Rosalie was surprised. âSo fast?â
âHowever, it was not my men who found out. It was Callum. He figured it out faster than me. The mastermind has been arrested by the police and is undergoing further interrogation.â
âWho is the mastermind?â Rosalie asked.
âJosephine Tall. Sheâs the marriage partner prepared by the White family for Callum,â Calvin said.
âJosephine mustâve been trying to hurt Lillian, but you happened to be in the same car as her.â
Rosalie had a little impression of the name because she heard Lillian mention it. Lillian said that Josephine deliberately approached and warned her, wanting to force her to leave Callum.
Rosalie thought, âIs a personâs life so insignificant to these people? They plan to eliminate the people they dislike so easily by orchestrating an accident.â
Rosalieâs body shuddered. Fear and anger churned within her.
âDo you know which police station Josephine was taken to now?â she asked.
Calvin told her the address of the police station. Rosalie got up and said, âIâm going to the police station now. Have a good rest. I will come to see you next time.â
However, as soon as she turned around, and before she could take a step, Calvin grabbed her hand and asked, âNext time? When will that be?â he asked with his jaw-slightly raised.
âTomorrow. Iâll come to see you after work,â she said after she thought for a while.
âOkay. Iâll wait for you tomorrow!â Calvin smiled and looked at her gently, dispelling his usual indifference.
When Rosalie went to the police station, she called Lillian and learned that she and Callum were already there.
When Rosalie arrived at the police station, Josephine had recorded her statement.
According to the clues provided by Callum, the police arrested three people who had received money from Josephine and did her bidding.
The three of them quickly confessed, so Josephine swiftly broke down and confessed her crime.
In Josephineâs opinion, since Lillian didnât heed her warning last time, eliminating Lillian was the most effective solution she could think of. As long as she got rid of Lillian, she could naturally marry Callum and become Mrs. White.
