Chapter 191

No Need to Take Care of Me

Byron was a very light sleeper, so when he heard a faint rustling sound in his half–conscious state, he
frowned and opened his eyes. He was met with the sight of the person on the hospital bed, hand on
their forehead. Clearly, they had already woken up. “How do you feel? Are you burning up?” Byron got
up and walked toward the hospital bed.

Rosalie‘s movements were slightly stiff as she slowly sat up on the bed and thanked him politely. “I feel
much better, sorry for all the trouble tonight.”

At her estranged behavior, Byron‘s eyes darkened. He reminded himself that the woman was still ill, so
he suppressed his displeasure and said in a low voice, “Are you hungry? You didn‘t eat anything all
night.” She was fine when she did not have her mind on it, but at the mention of food, Rosalie could not
help the feeling of emptiness in her stomach. Not only did she not eat anything all night, but she also
did not have any appetite all day due to her fever, only having a few measly bites of food around noon.
However, she did not want to owe this man any more favors. Just as Rosalie was about to declare that
she was not hungry, her stomach let out a loud rumble.

After a moment, Rosalie‘s face flushed with embarrassment, and she forced herself to calmly turn her
head away. “It‘s already pretty late, so I don‘t feel like eating anything.”

Byron frowned, stood up, and walked out of the ward. Rosalie turned around at the sound of his
movements, but he was already nowhere in sight. Ten minutes later, the man returned with a steaming
bowl of chicken soup in his hands. “For takeouts bought at night, warm it up in the hospital‘s microwave
oven. We‘ll just have to make do for now.”

Rosalie was stunned yet again. It was not until the man helped her adjust her hospital bed and put the
chicken soup in front of her that she came back to her senses. “Thank you.” She sat up and slowly took



a sip from the bowl. Now that he had gone out of his way for her to this extent, it would seem too
sedulous of her to reject the soup.

Seeing that she no longer refused, Byron turned around and sat down in a chair, then solemnly said,
“The doctor said that you should stay in the hospital tonight to avoid recurrence of your condition. You‘ll
have a check–up tomorrow morning, and if there‘s no problem, you’ll be discharged.”

Rosalie nodded and glanced at him. “It‘s getting late. I feel much better now, and I can take care of
myself. Thank you for tonight. You probably have work tomorrow, so head home and rest early.”

Hearing those words that clearly meant she was trying to chase him away, Byron‘s expression
darkened again, and his voice was cold as he said, “I‘m not that irresponsible to leave a patient here by
themself.”

Rosalie frowned slightly. “I don‘t need to be taken care of anymore, and you can‘t rest well here, so
there‘s no reason for you to stay here.”

Moreover, she did not want to owe Byron any more favors than she already had.

The ward was dead silent in the middle of the night, and Rosalie‘s voice seemed to cut through the
silence like a knife.

The moment she stopped talking, the ward fell into complete silence once again. Byron, on the other
end, had no intention of leaving. Rosalie clenched her fists and slowed down her tone as she said,
“President Lawrence, we have nothing to do with each other, so you don‘t have to take care of me to
this extent. If this continues, I‘ll feel pressured.”

After saying that, Rosalie stared at him with a stern expression.



Byron did not expect that after taking care of this woman so much, she still ended up acting so distant
toward him. His heart was filled to the brim with displeasure.

However, it was even more impossible for him to abandon this woman and leave her.

After a long silence, he finally managed to suppress the emotions in his heart and said with an
unwavering tone, “Don‘t get me wrong, I just thought that if I leave just like this, Estie will get angry with
me again when she finds out.” In other words, he did not stay here just to take care of her.

Rosalie could not come up with any other argument against his words, so she could only acquiesce to
his stay.

Nonetheless, there was nothing to be said between the two. The ward fell into a rather awkward
atmosphere.
