Chapter 893
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
Calvin looked at the man in front of him and asked, âIs that really the case? I believe that she wouldnât have stood idly by even if I hadnât been the one to rescue her and Zeki first.â
This was because Rosalie was that kind of person.
She always had a deep sense of justice since childhood. Why would Rosalie choose to become a lawyer if it werenât for that? Even after experiencing the ups and downs of life, she ultimately chose to continue her career as a lawyer.
What drew him to her extended beyond their childhood experiences. More than anything, it was also Rosalieâs unwavering sense of justice and her composed, graceful demeanor.
These qualities were incredibly precious in a world where he was accustomed to the games and deception of prominent families.
Calvin ought to have fallen in love with Fiona when she was pretending to be Rosalie if it was solely due to his childhood fixation.
âThatâs enough!â Jonathan suddenly exclaimed, âWhat difference does it make even if she saves you?
You are only a childhood friend to her.â
âYes. Iâm just a childhood friend. However, how could I have mistakenly thought that the person I was looking for was not her if it werenât for your interference back then? Clearly, I could have found her sooner. If everything had started anew, do you think she would have still chosenâ¦â
Before Calvin could finish his sentence, Jonathan rushed forward and directly grabbed the collar of his clothes. âCalvin, thereâs no such thing as starting anew in this world! From the beginning to the end, the one sheâs loved has always been me!â
âBut does she know how despicable you are? Jonathan, I lost to you, but only because I wasnât as despicable as you,â Calvin retorted without backing down.
Just then, the door of the consulting room swung open, and Levi walked out with a tired face.
Both men rushed to Levi and asked, âMr. Sabatini, howâs Rosalie?â
âItâs like this for the time being. The situation is very bad. Her hand is in such a terrible state that I canât use a needle knife on it anymore. Surgery is the only option, but I canât guarantee the outcome,â Levi stated directly.
âAre there any other doctors who can treat her hand?â Jonathan inquired.
âIâm afraid there arenât any here in the country. As for overseas, the world is vast, and itâs hard to say.
However, it will only deteriorate further if we donât operate on her hand within a week. By then, she may lose the opportunity for surgery altogether,â Levi explained.
Jonathanâs expression darkened in an instant.
Calvinâs body swayed without a trace of blood on his face.
âMr. Sabatini, how confident are you?â Calvinâs voice trembled as he asked.
â10 percent,â Levi answered.
In an instant, both menâs hearts sank. A 10 percent chance was what they called a slim chance of survival.
Jonathan first arranged for Rosalie to be admitted to the finest private hospital in the city, while the 09:16 current conservative treatment plan was based on Leviâs proposal.
However, Jonathan was still hesitating on whether to proceed with surgery or not. At the very least, he wanted to wait for Rosalie to wake up before making a choice.
When Rosalie woke up, she saw Jonathan sitting by her bedside. The first thing she did was to ask, âHowâs Zeki? Has he woken up? Did Yvette give him the antidote?â
Her barrage of questions was all directed at the child, with not a single one inquiring about her own condition.
Right now, her entire attention was on the child.
âZekiâs fine. He already had his stomach lavaged. Even though Yvette kept claiming there was no antidote, the police discovered that she had purchased sleeping pills at the pharmacy beforehand, which aligns with the doctorâs speculation,â Jonathan explained.
âSleeping pills?â Rosalie was stunned. âDid Zeki consume a large amount? How long will it take for him to wake up?â
Jonathan uttered, âThe dosage wasnât excessive, so he should wake up by tomorrow. Iâll have the doctor conduct a more detailed examination by then. Donât worry. The doctor said it wonât be a problem.â
Rosalie let out a sigh of relief and then started to become aware of her unfamiliar surroundings. The room was filled with various medical devices, some of which had wires attached to her fingertips.
âIs this⦠a hospital?â Rosalie asked.
Jonathan answered, âYes. Youâll be staying here for a few days. Some of the equipment here can closely monitor the condition of your hands.â
He then relayed the diagnosis from Levi to Rosalie.
When Rosalie heard that there was only a 10 percent chance of success, she let out a bitter smile. âIâm aware of Mr. Sabatiniâs medical skills. If it were another doctor, they might not even offer that 10 percent chance.â
âDo you wish to proceed with the surgery? If you do undergo surgery, there might be unforeseen complications down the line, even if itâs successful. On the other hand, if you choose conservative treatment, thereâs a possibility you could regain basic functionality in a few of your fingers,â Jonathan said the last half of the sentence with difficulty.
Jonathan could not make her hands function like those of a normal person, despite having an abundance of wealth. In fact, he might have to helplessly watch her hands remain still and never move again.
Rosalie looked down and fixed her gaze on her hands. At this moment, her hands were wrapped with gauze, and she could not move at all. âIâll still choose to do surgery, even if thereâs just a 10 percent chance. I still want to try it! Otherwise, Iâll regret it in the future.â
Jonathan was silent for a while before he finally responded, âOkay!â
His reply was laden with a multitude of emotions.
âIâll find another world-renowned doctor for you if the surgery isnât a hoarse voice, as he gently held Rosalieâs hands.
Successful,â Jonathan uttered in He would become her hands if her hands truly could not move again. Jonathan would provide whatever she wanted with his own two hands.
âJon, itâs okay. I have the strength to endure this, and Iâve long been mentally prepared in case my hands canât be saved,â she comforted, noticing the worry on his face.
He gazed at her intently. âYouâve been mentally prepared for a long time? So, youâve known for a while that the condition of your hand was dire, but you never told me, is that it?â
She choked and said, âIâ¦â
Jonathan muttered, âRosie, I donât want to be in the dark about something even Calvin knows. I donât want you to keep things from me, even if youâre worried about me being concerned or guilty.â
His eyes seemed to see through her thoughts at that moment.
âIâm sorry.â Rosalie bit her lip slightly and instinctively attempted to raise her hand to touch his cheek.
However, she realized that her hand was wrapped with gauze and connected to some monitoring wires when she slightly moved her hand.
âI donât know how Calvin knows about my hand, but I never mentioned it to him. Maybe he found out from Mr. Sabatiniâ¦â
Rosalie wanted to explain, but he suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips abruptly.
