Chapter 741
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
After a long while, a doctor finally emerged from the emergency room. âThe three fetuses are stable for now,â the doctor said.
âWhat about the mother? The mother⦠is she okay?â Jonathanâs voice was strained.
âAt the moment, weâve administered medication, and the situation is under control. But please, try to avoid subjecting the expectant mother to additional stress. If her emotions become unstable, thereâs a risk that the fetuses might not reach the 35-week mark.â
Usually, it was recommended to deliver triplets via cesarean section at 35 weeks for the safest outcome. However, if the expectant motherâs emotions became too intense, there was a potential risk of her water breaking prematurely before reaching the 35-week mark.
By that time, the fetal organs might not have fully developed, and even if they survived, there could be complications.
âI understand,â Jonathan replied, but he was uncertain about how to avoid upsetting her further.
âWhy does she have to find out the truth at a time like this? Why?â Jonathanâs inner voice cried out.
As Jonathan was about to step into the emergency room, Calvin blocked his way. âIf you just go in like this, and Rosalie wakes up to see you, arenât you afraid sheâll become emotionally unstable again?â
Jonathanâs expression stiffened as he glared at Calvin. âSheâs my wife!â
âWhat does that matter? Whether sheâs your wife or not, I wonât let you hurt her. Youâve already upset her once. Do you want to do it again?â Calvin spoke firmly. Jonathanâs body trembled slightly, his thin lips tightly sealed, and he finally said nothing more.
When Rosalie woke up, she had been transferred to a VIP ward, and the person in her room was none other than Amelia.
âAmelia?â Rosalie blinked, seemingly surprised that Amelia was there.
âAnd where am I now? In a hospital? I remember being at the staircase and hearing the conversation between Jon and Calvin, and thenâ¦â Rosalie mused. Those scenes flashed through Rosalieâs mind like a movie, and she subconsciously covered her pregnant belly. âMy children, are they okay?â
âThe children are fine,â Amelia reassured her and pressed the nurse call button at the bedside. After a moment, the doctor and nurses arrived, conducted some basic checks on Rosalie, and advised her to rest and stabilize her emotions.
10:24 1 They mentioned she needed to stay in the hospital for three days for observation. Once the doctor and nurses left the ward, Rosalie asked, âAmelia, why are you here? Werenât you hospitalized too?â
âMy hospitalization isnât a big deal, and I was about to be discharged anyway. I received a call from Jonathan. He said something happened between you, and it upset you. He hoped I could come and talk to you,â Amelia replied.
Amelia couldnât help but sigh as she continued, âA man like him, I can hardly imagine, but the tone of his call was so helpless and distressed as if he were a desperate, lost soul.â
Rosalie couldnât help but clutch the thin blanket covering her.
âWhen I arrived, Jonathan was waiting outside the ward, but he refused to come in, saying he was afraid you didnât want to see him. And Calvin is also waiting outside. Rosalie, whatâs going on?â Amelia asked.
âItâs nothing, just⦠I made a fool of myself,â Rosalie replied. She knew she couldnât afford to get too emotional. For the sake of her babies, she had to control her emotions no matter what.
Because if her emotions become unstable, it could lead to the babies arriving prematurely.
Observing Rosalieâs reluctance to broach the subject, Amelia sensed the gravity of the matter.
âWhatever it is, if you ever feel like you canât handle it alone, tell me. I might not be able to do much, but I can lend a listening ear. Itâs better than bottling everything up,â Amelia said.
âThank you, Amelia,â Rosalie replied.
âI should be the one thanking you. Youâve helped me so much.â Amelia responded. She reflected on how Rosalie had assisted her when she was falsely accused, helping her gather evidence and locate the crucial witness for her case.
If it werenât for Rosalie, she wouldnât find herself in her current circumstances.
As they continued their conversation, Amelia shared some uplifting anecdotes to lighten Rosalieâs mood.
After a while, Rosalie said, âAmelia, youâre still in the process of recovery. You should return. Donât worry about me. I promise to take good care of myself, especially for the sake of my three children, no matter what happens.â Rosalieâs resolute words and unwavering gaze eased Ameliaâs concerns. âAll right, Iâll head back. We can stay connected through phone calls.â
Just as Amelia was about to leave, Rosalie unexpectedly spoke. âAmelia, is Calvin⦠outside? Could you please bring him in? I have a few questions Iâd like to ask him,â
Amelia was briefly taken aback but she agreed.
When Amelia emerged from the ward, the two men waiting outside directed their 10:24 0 attention toward her. In perfect synchronization, they asked, âHow is she?â
Amelia was surprised by the strikingly similar expressions of hope and concern on the faces of the two men.
It was quite unexpected to see two influential men, capable of causing significant ripples in the Strico, waiting outside a ward for the sake of one woman.
âFor now, Rosalieâs emotions are relatively stable, and she wishes to see Calvin,â Amelia replied.
The expressions of both Jonathan and Calvin shifted.
Calvin appeared somewhat surprised, while Jonathanâs complexion lost a few shades of color. Just as Calvin began to approach the wardâs entrance, Jonathan swiftly reached out to halt him.
âWhatâs the matter? Donât want me to go in?â Calvin raised an eyebrow.
Jonathan pressed his thin lips tightly, his gaze locked coldly on Calvin.
Calvin scoffed. âJonathan, youâre just as fearful now. Imagine the amount of pain Rosalie must have endured during that time.â
âThis is a matter between Rosie and me, none of your business!â Jonathanâs voice was icy and stern.
âSince Rosalie wishes to see me now, I must go in. Jonathan, you canât stop me!â Calvin asserted.
Seeing that the two of them were about to come to blows, Amelia swiftly stepped in. âRosalie has just woken up. Why donât both of you honor her wishes?â
Jonathan hesitated for a moment, his body tensed, but ultimately, he withdrew his hand, allowing Calvin to enter the ward.
Amelia sighed and addressed Jonathan, saying, âRosalie mentioned that she has a few questions for Calvin, nothing more. Please, donât misunderstand.â She was concerned that Jonathan might misinterpret the situation.
