Chapter 109
“Then we’ll just say we can’t afford to treat Wilma’s disease and take your mother home. Let’s see if Rosalie will pay by then!” Luke said angrily.
“But what if she really sues us?” Daniel said worriedly.
Edward also hurriedly said, “Yes. She was a top student in the Faculty of Law and once worked as a lawyer. Besides, behind her now… the big shot should still be there. If she really sues us, we may not win the case,”
Luke touched his chin and said with an unpleasant look, “Then you three should total the remaining three-quarters of medical expenses,”
“We’re paying?” Sarah asked hurriedly.
“What else should we do? Wait for that girl to sue us?” Luke glared at Sarah angrily. “If you don’t pay the medical expenses, you won’t get any money from the compensation for demolition in the future!”
Sarah suddenly became silent. Although she was a daughter who got married to another family, her family had promised back then to give her some money from compensation for demolition in the future.
Now the whole family was pinning their hope on this compensation for demolition in the future.
If Rosalie sued, then maybe Rosalie would also share the compensation for demolition.
The family exchanged glances. In the end, they had to decide to pool their money together from the three households.
Rosalie went back to Wilma’s ward. Wilma was already asleep, Rosalie sat by the bed and looked at Wilma’s sleeping face quietly.
Wilma, who used to protect Rosalie back then, was old now and needed Rosalie’s protection.
Actually, if Rosalie really had money, she didn’t mind paying for all Wilma’s medical expenses alone. But now she was living a tough life and couldn’t afford Wilma’s medical expenses alone.
Now, she had exposed the matter of the compensation for demolition. She thought that Luke, Daniel, and the others would give Wilma
proper medical treatment.
Even if the medical expenses were really not enough, Rosalie would try to help Wilma fight for the latter’s rights and interests, so that the compensation for demolition could ensure the rest of the latter’s life as much as possible.
Now, she could do too little for Wilma.
After an unknown period of time, the sky gradually darkened. Rosalie didn’t leave the ward until a nurse came in to make a round.
When she walked out of the inpatient department, she inadvertently saw a figure coming out of the outpatient department.
Rosalie was stunned. She didn’t expect to meet Calvin in such a place.
Moreover, there was no one by his side. Calvin was alone.
Calvin noticed Rosalie too. His eyes flashed slightly before he stepped forward and said, “What a coincidence.”
“Yeah,” she said, then wanted to bypass him and leave.
But the next moment, he reached out to stop her and said, “Speaking of which, when I invited you for a meal last time, I made you encounter some bad things. Well, I’ll treat you to a meal again today to apologize for what happened last time.” Rosalie knew Calvin was talking about meeting his ex-girlfriend Rainie when Rosalie and he were having a meal last time.
By the way, she would often see the news about Rainie on the internet media before that time. But recently, there was no news about Rainie on the internet as if there were no such person in the entertainment industry at all.
“How is your ex-girlfriend?” Rosalie couldn’t help but ask, but she regretted it again after saying that. She shouldn’t be asking such questions.
“Nothing much. Since she did something that shouldn’t be done, it’s time for her to bear the consequences, Calvin said nonchalantly as if he didn’t take that matter seriously at all.
But Rosalie’s heart skipped a beat after she listened to his words. She thought, “So… Is Rainie blacklisted? She might even have been forced to leave the entertainment industry.”
From then on, Rainie lost all her prosperity and had to return to her ordinary life.
But how many people in this world would be willing to be ordinary? Especially for those who had a taste of prosperity, the feeling of being an ordinary person was simply unbearable.
“What? Are you sympathizing with her?” Calvin looked at the woman in front of him and said, “That day, Rainie treated you with nothing but rudeness.”
“I’m not sympathizing with her, and she probably won’t need my sympathy,” Rosalie said. “You don’t need to treat me to a meal and apologize as well. I have to rush for the bus back to Strico.”
“But I just want to treat you to dinner. What should we do?” Calvin asked.
Rosalie said indifferently, “Could it be that you have to force someone to accept your treat for a meal?”
“I don’t like to force others, but it’s good to do so occasionally.” As Calvin spoke, he took Rosalie’s hand and strode toward the parking lot.
“Calvin, what do you want?” Rosalie softly called out.
“I just want to have a meal with you,” he said indifferently.
She thought, “Is it really just a meal? If a man like him really wanted to have a meal with a woman, many women would accompany him. There is no need for him to force me, who is being so reluctant.”
While Rosalie was puzzled, they had already arrived at Calvin’s car.
Calvin opened the passenger seat’s door. Rosalie said, “Mr. Gunner, I really don’t have time to eat with you. There is a time limit for the last bus. If I miss the time, I can’t go back to Strico tonight.”
He stared at the woman in front of him with his dark eyes and said, “If you really don’t want to eat this meal, I can promise that you will never catch up with any bus.”
Rosalie froze and knew that it was not difficult for Calvin to do that with his ability.
“Why do you insist on wanting me to have this meal?” She was confused and thought it would be too far-fetched to say that it was an apology for the last meal.
“Because I have something to ask you.” he said.
She looked at him doubtfully, thought for a while, and then sat in the passenger seat. And at this time, if she really tried to go against his words, it would be meaningless to her.
Moreover, after three years in prison, she was way better at adapting to circumstances and knew that people like him could. easily change the fate of others.
It was the same as how he could easily make Rainie disappear from the entertainment industry. Rainie was still a famous actress and had many fans. But if she was disliked by him, she was still controlled by others like a nobody.
And Rosalie was even more insignificant than Rainie. Rosalie was just a sanitary worker now, and it would be much easier for Calvin to deal with her.
However, for a moment, Jonathan flashed through Rosalie’s mind.
She thought, “If… a day like that really happened, would Jonathan be willing to help me? Oh, my goodness! What am I thinking?”
Rosalie mocked herself for the thoughts that occurred in her mind just now.
