Chapter 847
In the ward, Rose weakly leaned against the bedside, hooked up to an IV. The morning sunlight spilled
onto her pallid face, creating a beauty that made others feel bad for her.
“Rose,” Alyssa softly called her name, her eyes reddened.
For a moment, she couldn’t believe that the frail woman before her was the same carefree and cheerful
apprentice she knew.
“Madam?” Stunned, Rose quickly pulled her needled hand under the blanket.
“What happened?”
Alyssa sat by the bed and gently held Rose’s hand, asking with concern, “How did it come to this? Who bullied you?
Rose bit her lip and remained silent.
“Tell me quickly. I’ll stand up for you.”
“I was just dizzy from low blood sugar. It’s nothing serious.”
“Even now, you won’t tell the truth? Do you not know you have a heart condition? How long do you plan on keeping it from me?”
Alyssa was so frustrated that her face was flushed, and she tightened her grip on Rose’s hand.
“Silas told me you received a call last night. After that call, you fainted due to an emotional outburst. Who
called you? What did they say? What happened at the nightclub last night?”
Alyssa’s questions were sharp, targeting sensitive points.
Rose’s long lashes trembled, and her fingers tightened in Alyssa’s palm. “Madam, I didn’t mean to keep it from you. But I hope
you can give me some personal space and let me have a bit of my own secret.”
“No! No! No!”
Alyssa’s eyes turned red from anger. “What nonsense secret? You’re clearly being bullied, but you don’t want me to know and let
me stand up for you.
“One of my life principles is ‘an eye for an eye. Anyone who harms those around me, I’ll get back at them
a thousandfold! Now that you’re in such a state, as your mentor, I can’t just stand idly by!”
“You can’t do anything about this!”
Rose’s chest heaved suddenly. It was the first time she spoke to Alyssa with such intensity. “I’m begging
you. Just leave me alone, okay? I’m begging you!”
Alyssa looked stunned, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed.
When she left the ward, her complexion was visibly grim.
However, she was naturally stubborn. The more Rose hid, the more she wanted to uncover everything. No
matter what, she had to stand up for her apprentice.
Alyssa had Sean stay to care for Rose and went to a café across the street from the hospital with Silas.
“Lyse, I think there’s a problem with Rose’s family. I don’t know if she’s mentioned it to you.”
Silas lowered his gaze. He knew his little sister didn’t like bitter coffee, so he placed a sugar cube in her
cup
“No, she only mentioned having a mother in her hometown who isn’t in great health. Besides that, she’s
never told me anything.”
Alyssa took a deep breath. “She’s my most trusted friend, so I never thought about investigating her.”
“It’s not investigating. It’s understanding. Only through understanding
her.”
on you know her pain and truly I
As Silas spoke, he clicked on a document on his phone and handed it to Alyssa. “Sorry, Lyse. I
investigated Rose without telling you. Don’t be mad at me.”
How could Alyssa be angry? She was even secretly pleased.
Sillas, who had always been focused on his cases and her matters, was now genuinely putting in effort for
Rose. It wasn’t easy for him to do this.
Did this mean Alyssa will have a sister-in-law soon?
“Rose is the daughter of George Emerson, the chairman of Emerson Group.”
“Emerson Group? I’ve heard of it. It’s not a big company, just a bit famous in Solana City, mainly in real
estate.”
Since Alyssa prepared to go back and inherit her family business, she clearly understood the people in the
domestic market, especially the bosses in Solana City.
“But if I remember correctly, George has a son and a daughter. They’re both quite high-profile, so I
remember them. How did Rose become his daughter?”
