Word on the street was that Romeo had bought a mansion near the university district, and he was often seen there. One didn’t need to be a genius to figure out what was happening.
But she didn’t call him out. Instead, she smiled and said to Louisa, "Let’s plan another get-together soon, okay?"
"Sure." Louisa’s smile was so wide it almost split her face. "You two should get some rest. Romeo, take good care of Rose, won’t you?"
"No problem at all."
Even though it was vacation time, Rose had many responsibilities. There might be other things waiting for her at the university. Louisa didn’t pry into her daughter’s schedule but watched them drive off with maternal love in her eyes.
"Honey, I think George and Jennifer are really treating Rose like their own daughter," Kenneth mused as he watched them leave, feeling a sense of relief for their daughter’s future.
"But doesn’t it feel a bit like our daughter just visited us and is now heading back to her in-laws? Do you feel it too?"
"Our daughter is grown up and will get married eventually." While Louisa was reluctant to let go, she knew that every generation would have its own blessings. It was futile to dwell on it. "Let’s go in."
In the following days, whenever Jennifer came across amusing jokes or videos on the internet, she would share them with Rosemary, and they would have a good laugh together.
After the vacation, Jennifer would often cook delicious meals and deliver them to Rosemary at her university. They would walk around the campus together, hand in hand.
Jennifer would consult Rosemary about everything—from what dress to wear to a dinner party, to the color of her nail polish, and even her hairdo. Sometimes, she would take Rosemary out with her, treating her like a best friend.
Rosemary would often receive notifications about large transfers from Jennifer. If Rosemary refused, Jennifer would nag her until she accepted.
Every time Rosemary accepted the money, Jennifer would feel overjoyed. She believed that Rosemary saw her as family. If Rosemary refused, Jennifer would feel that she was being too distant.
Time flew by, and autumn arrived in the blink of an eye. The campus was filled with students dressed in long-sleeved shirts and pants.
One day, while Rosemary was in the university laboratory, Louisa called.
"Sweetie, your grandma has finally woken up! I’ll pick you up from the university, and we can go to the hospital together."
"Okay."
Rosemary remembered her mother telling her that her grandparents loved outdoor activities. Once, during a hiking trip, her grandmother had slipped and fallen down several steps. Her grandfather had tried to catch her, hurting himself in the process.
Both were in a deep coma when they were rushed to the hospital.
The CT scans had shown cranial fractures, brain injuries, and multiple fractures throughout their bodies. Her grandfather’s condition was worse, with fluid in his chest and intracranial hemorrhage. They were in critical condition, with a high risk of permanent disability or death.
Despite extensive medical efforts, their condition remained critical, and they had to stay in the ICU.
During her last visit to the hospital with her parents, Rosemary had taken their pulse discreetly and found out about their condition.
The doctors had chosen a conservative approach because of their old age and the lack of a guaranteed successful treatment. Thus, they had missed the best window for treatment.
After taking their pulses, Rosemary realized that their bodies were weak, and the brain injuries had severely damaged their central nervous system. They also had respiratory infections, anemia, and electrolyte imbalance, requiring multiple medications.
Basic IV therapy wouldn’t be enough.
Due to Serena’s presence, Rosemary didn’t reveal that she was Dr. Bell but instead claimed to know a famous doctor who had the medicine for their condition.
Upon hearing this, Kenneth and Louisa were overjoyed and urged her to contact the doctor. Thus, Rosemary started treating her grandparents more aggressively.
