We Are Both Clear Now
It was not even 8 o‘clock yet when they came out of the hospital.
Rosalie laid in bed for a day or two and felt that her bones were all stiff. She finally breathed in the
fresh air outside and comfortably did a good stretch. Lucian and Nox followed behind her every step of
the way, fearing that something might happen to her again.
“Miss Jacobs, it‘s best that you rest at home, even just for the morning!” Lisa did her best to advise her.
Rosalie looked back and smiled, “I‘m good, don‘t worry. I performed surgery two days ago and got
drenched in sweat, didn‘t clean up properly, and rushed to the kindergarten. I must have caught a cold
from that which led to my fever. I’ll be more cautious next time.”
After she spoke, she squatted down and touched the heads of the little fellas.
“Mommy still needs to go to work at the Research Institute. Get Nanny Lisa to send you to
kindergarten, alright? You might run a little late, but I‘ll let Miss Leigh Ann know.” The little fellas looked
at her with a tinge of worry. If it was possible, they hoped that Mommy could go home and rest for a bit.
However, they understood their mother the best and knew that she would never possibly delay her
work
After hesitating for a while, the little fellas nodded unwillingly. Rosalie stood up and looked toward Lisa.
“Thanks a lot for helping with the kids. I won‘t come along, but I will notify their teacher.”
Lisa had no choice but to agree.
“Thanks a lot for yesterday, but just take it as a payback for me taking care of Estie last time. We‘re all
clear after this.” Rosalie spoke calmly and again walked toward the man standing at the main entrance.
When he heard this, the man‘s expression remained unwavering, but the look in his eyes darkened
imperceptibly. After a long while, he opened his mouth inexplicably and answered, “sure.” Rosalie was
about to turn and walk away, but a small hand gripped her skirt.
“Auntie!” Estie did not understand what it meant by the both of them being “clear” with each other, but
she sensed that Rosalie‘s words seemed a little strange and quickly grabbed onto her skirt.
Rosalie stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at her. “What‘s the matter, Estie!”
Estie’s big, round eyes were filled with a sense of grievance. “I like Auntie.” The sight of that made
Rosalie‘s heart crumble into softness. She could not help but hug the little kid.
“Auntie likes Estie too. Thanks for visiting me this time.” With a hug from the beautiful auntie, Estie‘s
mood slowly improved. However, she still felt reluctance upon Rosalie leaving. Rosalie walked over to
the two little guys and made her way to the roadside with Lisa to hail a taxi.
Lisa too came here by taxi in the morning while Rosalie was sent here by Byron yesterday. Both of
them had no other way.
It was just that this time was during the morning rush hour. There was no sight of a vacant taxi after
waiting for a long time.
Rosalie was contemplating whether to seek Yves for help and have him pick them up. She then heard
Byron‘s stern voice speak from the side, “it‘s not the best time to hail a taxi now. Let me send you guys
there.”
Rosalie could not help but be stunned. She came to realize that all this while the man had not even left.
She turned to see him staring at the two little guys beside her; everything was clear to her.
Although she was soft–hearted for the two little ones, Rosalie still frowned and openly refused, “it‘s fine.
I had troubled you enough since yesterday, President Lawrence, and you need to go to the office. We
won‘t trouble you any further, we can just take the taxi.” After she said this, the man seemed to frown in
displeasure. Rosalie silently held her tongue. She would never know when her words would anger the
man again.
