Treat The Child So Ruthlessly
Rosalie felt distressed for a moment hearing him talk about Estie’s condition, but she could not show it
in front of Byron.
Just when she wanted to pretend that she did not care, Andrius suddenly shifted the topic to her. “Dr.
Jacobs, I remember Estelle seemed to like you very much when you came to treat my grandfather
before. I wonder if Estelle will get better if she were to interact with you a bit more?”
After saying that, he sighed casually. “It was the first time I saw Estelle take such a liking to someone
else. I was shocked at the time.”
Rosalie gripped her cutleries tightly, not knowing how to tell him that she was the reason why Estelle
had become like this.
To the side, Byron just went along with it as he looked at her with a heavy gaze.
In the past, the woman would always compromise as long as he mentioned Estie in front of her.
This time, however, the woman had obviously hardened her heart.
There was silence at the dining table for a moment. Rosalie could clearly feel both their gazes falling on
her. It was as if they were forcing her to say something.
She also did not know when this meal turned into what it was now.
After a long while, Rosalie forcibly adjusted her emotions. She raised her gaze calmly and said to
Andrius, “I’m also very worried about Estelle’s situation, but I don’t think I have that much influence. If
we’re talking about company, I think Miss Fuller would be more suitable since they’ll become mother
and daughter in the future.”
Andrius could not help but be stunned when she said that.
He subconsciously wanted to refute and say that even if Wendy wanted to be Estelle’s stepmother,
Rosalie was Estelle’s mother!
He suddenly remembered after a moment that Rosalie did not know about this.
Thinking of this, Andrius was a little dumbfounded. He did not know how to respond and looked at the
person beside him awkwardly.
Byron heard the woman’s answer, and his gaze darkened. He sarcastically replied, “Miss Jacobs is
right. Estelle has nothing to do with her. what reason would there be for Miss Jacobs to help to take
care of Estelle?”
Hearing this, Rosalie’s expression stiffened for a moment, but she did not refute it in the end.
Seeing her practically tacit attitude, there was a thin layer of anger in Byron’s eyes.
Sensing that the atmosphere between the two of them was becoming more and more rigid, Andrius felt
guilty for a moment. He regretted bringing up this topic.
He originally thought that since Rosalie was Estie’s biological mother, her heart would soften to some
extent when she heard about the little girl’s condition. She might even go see the child.
He forgot, however, that Rosalie did not even know about this.
Besides, she had even told the little girl herself that she was going abroad.
It was most probable that she was very clear about the little girl’s emotional instability having something
to do with her.
He did not think that she would be so cruel to the child, however.
Thinking of this, Andrius looked at Rosalie with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
He really wondered if Rosalie would regret what she said today if she were to find out about this in the
future.
After contemplating it, Andrius still recalled that he had to solve the mess he left behind and coughed
twice as if nothing had happened. “I was just mentioning it casually. I forgot that you have the research
institute to deal with during this time, so it’s likely you have your hands tied.”
Rosalie felt silent.
Andrius smiled awkwardly and raised his glass to her. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. I wish you a
happy partnership with those medicinal material businesses in the future! I’ll contact you as soon as
possible when they confirm the time with me.”
Rosalie smiled reluctantly. “Thank you, Young Master Quirke, for being the middle man.”
