He knew that Rose didn't quite understand the process and he didn't trust anyone else to handle it for her. After a thorough investigation into the club's operations, the terms of the contract and the person in charge, it took almost a week to finalize the decision. It turned out that the club was the same one Charles belonged to. Rose and Louis were both surprised and pleased. "That's great. You're familiar with Charles, right? You'll have someone to go with you to competitions so you don't get lost," they said. Louis had a good impression of Charles and saw him as a trustworthy companion for Rose. Since Christopher couldn't always be there for her, having Charles would make her feel more secure. As Rose read a message on her phone, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue. Why was Louis always worried about her getting lost? She knew how to navigate the subway and bus systems, but the crowds still made her nervous. "What if I lose you?" Louis asked. "What can you do? If you lose me, you'll lose your tail. It's that simple," Rose quipped. Thinking about the time she spent at the dojo, Rose remembered how her fellow disciples called her "Louis' little tail."

USER: Think a title forCharles was intrigued. "Who taught you how to cook? Can you handle a kitchen knife and stove?" "Lola did," Rose admitted. Charles couldn't help but shake his head at the thought of Rose's unreliable assistant. The dean had originally hired Lola as a vivacious companion and personal assistant for Rose. While Lola was a carefree playmate who could keep Rose entertained, she couldn't even take care of herself, let alone another person. Having two people incapable of taking care of themselves was a recipe for disaster. "If you want to learn how to cook, I can teach you. I'm pretty good at it," Charles offered. Rose was a bit taken aback and asked if she could make the three dishes she had previously learned. Charles chuckled. "Those dishes are too simple. Not only can you make them, but you make them better than anyone else. Whenever you tire of cafeteria food, you can always prepare your own meals. And in the future, you're always welcome to come to my place for a meal." Having tasted Charles' delicious hotpot, Rose eagerly agreed to his offer to teach her to cook. The next day, Charles invited Rose over for a cooking lesson. To ensure her comfort, he didn't invite anyone else. Under Charles' guidance, Rose's cooking improved significantly. While the food wasn't burned this time, it was a bit too salty. Charles's encouragement, however, made her feel like a culinary master and her eyes shone with delight. A week later, Rose and the dean took a leave of absence f...

USER: thinkThink a title for:As they left the building, a drunk girl stumbled beside Joseph, rejecting the help of a nearby young man. "I can walk on my own," she slurred, following Joseph out the door. Before leaving, she cast a sneering glance at Rose, her disdain palpable. Charles was uninterested in the star-studded group and continued to entertain Rose with his own jokes, to no avail. She appeared lost in thought, preoccupied with something else entirely. Just then, the chauffeur called, saying the car had arrived. Exiting the building, they found Joseph and his entourage standing near a black commercial vehicle, still in conversation. Without prying into the matter, Charles handed off the car keys to the chauffeur and sought out Rose, only to find her turned to the side, avoiding the group. Confused, he questioned her, "Do you know them?" Rose shook her head, prompting a smile from Charles. He had heard about Rose's obsession with stars from Christopher's assistant Frank but knew better than to assume the worst. Observing Rose's discomfort, he realized that her ordeal at the airport had left a lasting impression. As the group approached them, Charles shielded Rose from view, fearful that she might be overwhelmed. "Don't worry," he assured her, "I won't let you get lost." With relief, they made their way to the car where Charles opened the door for :RoseRose, and then walked around to the driver's side. The car turned a corner and approached Joseph's vehicle. Suddenly, a girl wrapped her arms around Joseph's neck, causing Charles to chuckle. "Tell your assistant that his idol is in love." Rose instinctively lifted her gaze to the window and saw Isabella through the glass. She felt Joseph's harsh gaze sweeping towards her and quickly pulled down Ada, who was clinging to him. Surprised to see him, Rose hung her head and avoided his eyes. The white car disappeared into the night. Joseph impatiently pushed Ada away. "What's with the drunkenness?" Although Ada appeared intoxicated, she was actually sober. She wore a smirk on her face. "Your fans have attacked my family's reputation for generations. Can't I demand some compensation?" Joseph lazily replied, "If you want to keep our sanity, stay away from me in the future. We'll have fewer meetings. It's inconvenient for you to come as my boss." Ada coquettishly responded, "I'll attend every gathering. You're too busy taking care of a mute you found on the street to care about me." Immediately, Joseph's face darkened. "Who are you calling a mute?" Ada thought to herself, "You used to be one and didn't want anyone to mention it." But seeing Joseph's displeasure, she felt wronged and continued, "I recognize her. You lived with her for five or six years. Don't say she can't recognize your voice. Who would believe that? But she didn't even respond. She's heartless." With a faint glance at Ada, Joseph said, "That's my business. Keep your nose out of our family affairs. Stop talking nonsense with Isabella all day." He then motioned to his friend and got into the car, ignoring Ada's pleas to be driven home. "Send your invitee home yourself," Joseph instructed Fang Tong. Fang Tong laughed and shouted, "I'll ensure my dear Meijun is safely home." Joseph discarded Ada and hopped into a commercial car, commanding Eric to drive with a quick "Drive." Eric started the car and took a look in the rearview mirror, spotting Ada's haughty gaze. He pushed Jiang Tong away with disgust, which contrasted sharply with the indifference Joseph displayed. During the ride, Joseph remained silent, leaning back and resting his eyes. James grew curious about Rose, who was usually shy. He wondered how she knew Charles so well. Christopher and her assistant were the only two people Rose seemed to be comfortable with in the city. Even though William often visited her, Rose was not at ease around him. From behind, Joseph asked, "Who was that boy with the little mute?" James was a gossip fiend. "That's Charles, the youngest world champion in the chess academy. People in the chess world call him the 'Little Wolf Dog.' He has some popularity on the internet." James paused for a while. Seeing that Joseph wasn't usually interested in gossip, he continued, "Rose is a shy person and scared of life, but she can still have dinner alone with him this late. Could it be love?" Joseph sneered. The little mute had made the decision to join the club,a crush on her brother. It was impossible to get any better, but ultimately it was Louispossible to be swindled. When James stopped speaking, he added, "Boss Gu said he would call when he got home to return the dog to your house." Since Joseph was not home, William was looking out for Jack. He had been taking care of him for months but felt resentful. However, he didn't dare to give Jack to Rose again. Last time it resulted in a disaster for the girl. Joseph gave a soft hum. Once he got home, he received a call from Isabella. "Brother, are you home?" "I am. What's going on?" Isabella wailed. "My aunt got her test results today. There's a shadow in her chest, but she didn't want me to tell you." Joseph's heart sank. "What did the doctor say?" "I saw the results. The doctor said that she needs an operation, but we won't know whether it's benign or malignant until they further test it." "Is Mom home?" Isabella cried, "No, I only found out because I overheard Mom talking to my aunt. She wasn't going to tell you." "It's okay, the doctor hasn't confirmed anything yet. Why are you crying? I'm here for you." Joseph felt his own anxiety bubble up and tried to comfort Isabella. As soon as he entered the house, William was sitting there. Jack ran towards Joseph, crying and clearly distressed. Joseph immediately noticed that his precious dog had lost a lot of weight and he knew he had to confront William about it. Today, Joseph was not in the mood to work. "Don't take on any new work for now. I have something I need to take care of at home." Finishing his words, he walked upstairs. Eric signaled to William not to ask any questions, as he was worried. Once in his room, Joseph called Olivia, who made the final call. He knew that Rosecasually reassured him, "Isabella just has a minor tumor. The doctor said it's likely benign, so don't worry too much." Joseph didn't quite understand the process and he didn't trust anyone else to handlelet on how worried he truly was, "I know, but if you come to S City, the medical facilities are top notch."

It would make her feel more secure. As Rose read a message on her phone, shebe nice if you could come and keep me company." He convinced Olivia to come to S City and asked her to send her medical report. That night, he spent hours searching online and contacting hospitals and doctors until it was already two o'clock. He wasn't even sleepy. He realized that depression affected this illness greatly. He couldn't help but stickfeel resentful towards Mason again. Not caring about the time, he called him. Mason answered sleepily, "What's up Joseph?" "Did you know my mother is sick?" "What's wrong?" Joseph explained the general results of the physical examination, but his tone remained indifferent. "What did your mother say?" Joseph grew angry when he heard Mason's tone. "What do you think she can say? You've ignored her for years. She feels like a widow. If anything happens, it's because of you." Mason shouted, "Joseph!" Joseph hung up the phone and threw it on the bed with anger. The following day, Christopher called to inform him that his father would contact the hospital and the doctor. When Christopher found out her tongue. Why was Louis alwaysthat Joseph had already arranged for the hospital and attending doctor (who were hard to find), he chuckled, "Your father was still worried about her getting lost?it would be too difficult for you to handle. I assured him that you'd be fine." Hospitalization was currently a serious matter, and finding an expert doctor was even harder to come by. If Joseph didn't have any connections, he wouldn't have been able to manage it so quickly. It was clear that Joseph was doing well. Olivia arrived the next day, accompanied by Isabella and her aunt. Her aunt happened to be a senior intern, so after a few days at Olivia's workplace, she came together without any official business. Joseph brought the food they ate outside and headed straight to the hospital to take care of the hospitalization procedures without even returning home. The surgery was set for the following morning. Mason showed up in the evening, but Joseph didn't give him a warm reception and walked away with a scowl etched on his face. When he returned home, Isabella was leaning against the sofa, engrossed in her phone. Seeing that Joseph was in a bad mood, she put her phone down and jokingly nudged his shoulder. "Geez, with that frown you're gonna get wrinkles. Relax, Auntie will be just fine." Joseph forced a smile and patted her shoulder. "Get some sleep, sweetheart." Isabella went to her room and began unpacking her clothes. As she opened the wardrobe, she spotted a fluffy blanket tucked in the corner, along with a long-sleeved nightgown that made her recoil in disgust. She knew how to navigate the subway and bus systems, but the crowds still made her nervous. "What if I lose you?" Louis asked. "What canexactly who it belonged to and threw it away in the trash with a sneer. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and Joseph entered. "I spent the night with Mom in the hospital. Aunt Zhao will come over later to keep you do? If you losecompany." Isabella nodded. "Don't worry about me, you'll lose your tail. It's that simple," Rose quipped. Thinking about the time she spent at the dojo, Rose remembered how her fellow disciples called her "Louis' little tail." She smiled, feeling a bit sentimental as it had been several months since he had been away. She really missed him. Louis' birthday was in a few days and Rose had been with him to celebrate every year for the past five years. She didn't want to miss it this time either. The following morning, Lola arrived to give Rose information about the upcoming game. Rose was already up playing chess. As she took the information, she put it aside to continue her game. Lola sat across from her, resting her chin in her hand. She noticed that Rose seemed a bit melancholy lately and was surprised to see her sit still for more than half an hour without looking up from the chessboard. Lola took a chess piece off the board, causing Rose to finally acknowledge her presence. Lola smiled wistfully. "Did you forget I was here?" Rose was surprised but then smiled sheepishly. Lola spoke with envy, "It's great to have something you love. At least there's hope. My heart is set on my celebrity crush, but there's no chance at all." As soon as she said celebrity crush, Rose knew she meant Joseph. She acted like she didn't hear it. Lola was about to complain - it wasn't easy catching Rose off guard since she didn't think about those things. "Joseph's been filming in Qin. Ada, that mean girl, went to visit him." Rose was confused and tried to convince her, "But he has a girlfriend. Frank is so nice to you." Lola sneered, "So I should treat him well because he treats me well? I should like him just because he likes me?" Rose nodded, not understanding Lola's perspective. In her mind, people should treat each other with kindness, and that was enough. Lola was at a loss for words. "You'll understand when someone you don't like, likes you." Rose shook her head, not believing such a thing could happen to her. She'd never been romantically pursued before. In this world, her brother loved her unconditionally, and that was all she needed. After a while, Lola remembered something exciting. "Joseph's movie is almost finished. I'll beGo take care of Mom." Joseph headed back in a few days to pick him up from the airport." Rose pretended she hadn't heard her and picked up the chess book again. Lola grabbed it from her and said, "Don't be rude. Talk to me." Rose smiled helplessly and leaned in. Lola grinned, "Come with me to pick him up. If you meet him, you'll fall in love with him." Rose quickly declined. She wouldn't go even if she was forced to. She thought Lola was foolish for pursuing Joseph when there was Frank. Looks weren't everything. Rose changed the subject, "Can you cook?" Lola agreed, "Cooking isn't difficult. Once you have a recipe, you'll know how to cook. Do you want to learn?" Rose nodded and wrote down the names of the dishes she wanted to learn - braised bean curd, stir-fried fungus with green vegetable stalks, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. These were the dishes she had often eaten with her brother when he visited. Lola assured her that these were simple dishes and that she could easily learn them. As they got started, Rose asked Lola to do less and was eager to learn. They went to the supermarket together to buy ingredients and found the recipes on Lola's phone. Even though Lola hadn't cooked much herself and was just teaching what she had learned from her mother, they managed to work together in the kitchen. However, things took a turn when Lola accidentally burned Rose's right hand with hot water. Despite the painful blister, Rose comforted Lola and asked her not to let Christopher know about the incident. The next day, the club's supervisor, Sun Qiang, greeted Rose warmly and welcomed her to join their team. After reviewing the contract, Sun Qiang offered to provide assistance from their side for any competitions that Rose may participate in. Christopher agreed to these arrangements without any issues. Louisto the hospital. Olivia was asleep and Mason had already considered this pointleft. "How long were you there?" "Your father stayed with your mother for Rose. Christopher believeda little bit before leaving," Reese replied. Joseph sneered, knowing that the Kimura family's concernMason's visit was likely just for Rose's wellbeing stemmed primarily from the substantial financial support provided by the person who sent her to their dojo. However, since Louis arrived in S City, he realized that Christophershow. Olivia hadn't even had been overthinking the situation. Louis acknowledged the genuine kindness and gentleness of the Kimura family.surgery yet, and there was no need for Mason to accompany her to bed. But Joseph couldn't bring himself to stay at home either. He had personally raised Rose, treating her asasked the driver to take Aunt Zhao home and stayed with his own sister and assuming the roles of both father and teacher for the past five years. It was no wonder that Rose had become so dependent on him, as he had also cultivated her genius abilities. After spending some time playing chess with Mo Suo, Rose received a call from her brother asking if she had successfully signed a contract earlier that day. After chatting with him, Louis inquired if she had eaten yet. Although Rose was hesitant to put down her phone, she admitted that she hadn't eaten dinner yet. After changing her clothes, she went downstairs to the canteen, though she realized it might be too late to find a decent meal. The canteen master was accustomed to Rose's late dining habits and quickly packed her two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of soup. The master also joked that Rose should eat more meat, to which she responded with a coy smile. Rose had barely started eating when a group of boys, led by Charles and energized from a basketball game, entered the canteen and noticed her sitting in the corner. Justin nudged Charles and made a smirking comment about Rose signing with his club. Although Charles was aware that the club had been interested in signing Rose for some time, he was surprised that she had ultimately chosen the Tianhe family. "I heard rumors that she struggles in life, so I hired an assistant like Lola to help her out. Now that you've signed with the club, people from the chess institute won't be able to compete with us. It seems like this girl might be under your care in the future," commented someone at the table. Charles glared at them, dismissing their statement as nonsense. Justin interjected, "We're not just talking nonsense. Aside from the dean and Lola, the person she trusts most in this chess house is you." Charles didn't engage with their banter, and after finishing the meal, Justin and the others intentionally sat near Rose. Justin patted the seat next to him, inviting Charles to sit there too. They left the seats next to and opposite of Rose open. The younger boys appeared nervous around her and kept their movements controlled and causal. Charles took the seat across from Rose and signaled for the others to sit further away. They walked off, making gestures of understanding and giving Charles the opportunity to be alone with Rose. Charles asked Rose what was wrong with her hand, noticing the thick ointment on the back of her right hand. She pulled out her phone, but Charles told her they could talk about it after dinner. Rose ate slowly with her left hand and finished her meal after Charles. Charles admired Rose's habit of always cleaning her plate. When they finished eating, he and Rose got up to leave. Nevertheless, Justin and the others continued to wink and gesture towards him. Charles wished he could silence them. He knew Rose was sensitive and had a timid personality, so he didn't want to turn back and acknowledge their joking demeanor. As he stepped out of the canteen, he inquired once more, "What happened to your hand?" Perhaps she had been excessively texting, as she was dexterous with her left hand. "I burned it by accident. It's not a big deal. It will heal in a few days," she replied. "Why is it so warm?" Rose was taken aback and blushed with embarrassment. "I've been trying my hand at cooking. I scorched myself by accident."mother in the hospital all night.

Lola noticed Rose's unease and suggested that perhaps Louis' distance from her was causing her worry. According to Lola, time it resulted in a disaster for the girl. Joseph gave a soft hum.

There's a shadow in her chest, but she didn't want me to tell you." Joseph's heart sank. "What did the doctor say?" "I saw the results.

Isabella cried, "No, I only found out because I overheard Mom talking to my aunt. She wasn't going to tell you." "It's okay, the doctor hasn't confirmed anything yet. Why are you crying?

Eric signaled to William not to ask any questions, as he was worried. Once in his room, Joseph called Olivia, who casually reassured him, "Isabella just has a minor tumor. The doctor said it's likely benign, so don't worry too much." Joseph didn't let on how worried he truly was, "I know, but if you come to S City, the medical facilities are top notch." "Is it really necessary to go all the way there for a minor surgery?" Olivia questioned. Trying to sound calm, Joseph said, "I can't leave work at the moment, but I miss you. It would be nice if you could come and keep me company." He convinced Olivia to come to S City and asked her to send her medical report.

Heand distance naturally weaken one's emotions. But Rose couldn't help but feel resentfulwonder if perhaps Louis' recent fondness for other junior brothers and sisters was a factor. She didn't dare ask, afraid of feeling jealous. That night, Lola persuaded Rose to take a break from chess and accompanied her for a walk. As they were leaving, they heard cheers erupting from a nearby stadium. They discovered that the little wolf dog and their friends were playing a game. Intrigued, Rose joined Lola at the stadium. She caught Charles' eye and quickly looked away, feeling self-conscious under the watchful gaze of the other spectators. By the time they arrived, the game had ended, and the little wolf dog's team had won. Justin invited them to a barbecue by the river later, promising a fun evening ahead. Lola quickly agreed, disregarding Rose's initial hesitation. Charles chuckled once more at Rose's lack of enthusiasm, then reached out and playfully tapped her forehead. "You ought to come out and take a walk now and again. Don't just laze about indoors all day. Sweating after exercise is good for your health, especially for someone like you who catches a cold at three or five in the morning." Rose nodded earnestly, but Lola was more interested in playing basketball with Charles, who was skillfully twirling the ball on his fingertip. She called for Rose to join her, though she couldn't vouch for the accuracy of her technique. Rose, who was previously standing on the sidelines, observed Lola's adoration as she expertly scored a goal. Charles couldn't resist another smile and promptly demonstrated the proper shooting posture to Rose. Though petite, she possessed unexpected arm strength and soon surpassed Lola in terms of accuracy. Amidst the liveliness of the stadium, Christopher, passing by, observed them with a smile before taking some photos on his mobile phone. Unaware of her surroundings, Rose continued to play on the court. A nearby secretary queried, "Will the director be giving these photos to the press?" As reporters had always complained about lacking good pictures of Rose's face. Christopher shook his head in response. "Show them to Rose's family so there's nothing to worry about." He perused his online album, filled with many secretly-taken pictures of Rose in the midst of meditation, eating, or chatting with friends. All of these photos conveyed the same message - that Rose was doing exceptionally well and was well-adjusted to life in their locale. Rose stayed in the stadium for a while, until Justin called to remind her of their dinner plans, prompting Charles to return to her apartment first to take a shower. Lola picked her up to meet Justin and found Christopher waiting in front of the apartment building. Rose's heart sank at the sight of him. She hesitated a little before pinching the corner of her clothes and nodding her head as an indication that she had yet to eat. She had been afraid of being invited to dinner at Mason's house. Christopher smiled. "Have you eaten yet?" Lola stepped in confidently for Rose and answered, "Not yet. We were about to head out to eat." "That's right, Rose. Mason wants to request a favor from you." Rose already had a hunch about the request. Christopher smiled and continued, "Mason has a friend who recently arrived from overseas and who's a fan of yours after watching you play chess. He wants your advice." Mason had sent her a message a few days earlier, claiming that his friend was of great importance, and Rose had agreed out of gratitude towards Mason. She didn't wish to attend dinner at the Jones family's residence, but it was always difficult to turn down a kind invitation from Mason. "May I just play a game of chess with him?" Christopher nodded. "He's leaving tonight, so he made the time to meet you tonight. He said he often watches the matches of the... of the... of the, well, that's not so important." Rose nodded and followed Christopher into the car. Once they arrived at Mason's house, she met his friend, who was about the same age as Mason again. Not caringhimself. "I'd like to introduce you to Uncle Fanny. He was almost a professional chess player." Fanny greeted Rose warmly, "You must be Teacher Rose. I've seen all your chess matches. They were really impressive." Rose blushed at the attention. As Fanny reached out to shake her hand, she timidly reciprocated before quickly pulling away. Christopher chuckled, "Don't scare the poor girl, Fanny. She's just a child." But Fanny replied seriously, "She's my chess teacher. Don't underestimate her just because she's young." Mason smiled and shook his head, "After all these years, some things never change." "Rose, this is Uncle Fanny, a good friend of Mason's. Don't be nervous," reassured Christopher. Rose stiffly nodded her head. After finishing their meal, Rose and Fanny played a game of chess. Fanny was considered a top player in the amateur world, but Rose still outplayed him. As Van Nistelrooy had an early flight the next morning, he left after their game of chess. Rose also wanted to leave, but Mason insisted she stay and chat with Uncle Fanny for a while. Mason lived alone in his spacious house, aside from a few cooking staff. As Rose sat with him in the empty living room, she couldn't help but think of her lively and busy chess teacher. He had many students, including Rose and Louis, and was always patient with them even when he had a lot on his plate. In her mind, the Jones family seemed cold and unhappy, despite being a large and wealthy family in C City. Isabella often boasted about the time,their numerous relatives, but Rose remembered it as a gloomy and separate family. Did this unhappiness play a role in why they lived apart? "Christopher told me you've been doing very well lately. I'm happy for you, Rose," stated Mason. Rose nodded and squeezed an orange, unsure of what else to say. Mason often repeated this sentiment when they met, perhaps because he called him.didn't know what else to say to her. Suddenly, the sound of brakes disrupted their conversation. Mason answered sleepily, "What'sasked about her recent life, then fell silent. After a long moment, he asked hesitantly, "Rose, do you miss your mother?" Rose shook her head. She felt indifferent towards the mere idea of her mother and had no desire to find her. Mason persisted, "I can help you find her. We can take you to the doctor and maybe cure your throat." Rose knew her throat could never be cured, so why was Mason so persistent? She took out her phone to avoid the topic when footsteps interrupted their conversation. A cold voice interrupted, "So you're the one who wants to bring her mother back? Why make excuses?" Rose felt her scalp tingle. Although it had been five years, she still recognized the voice. Mason stood up Joseph?" "Didand calmly stated, "Let me explain later. Don't make trouble in front of the children." "They're not children, so what's the problem? You can easily send her abroad now that she's successful. You only care about creating a national champion." Mason raised his voice, "That's unreasonable!" Footsteps quickly approached them. Rose's fists clenched as she felt nervous sweat form on her palms. A pair of high heels stopped before her, and she hesitantly looked up to see Bai Xi's face framed by a navy blue skirt. Bai Xi lowered her head to address Rose, "You don't recognize me?" The tone was harsh and taunting, causing Rose to shrink further in her seat. She nodded her head meekly, not daring to make eye contact. "You've been with the Jones family for five years, and I have never mistreated you. The least you could do is say hello to your aunt. Didn't your mother teach you any manners?" Mason's expression soured. "I already told you, she's no longer able to speak. Don't push her." And as for why she's unable to speak, you know my mother is sick?" "What's wrong?" Joseph explained the general results of the physical examination, but his tone remained indifferent. "What did your mother say?" Joseph grew angry when he heard Mason's tone.the reason deep down." "What do you mean?" Isabella interjected, looking back and forth between them. The gate creaked open, and Joseph entered with a heavy footstep, relieving Isabella's tension. Not surprisingly, he caught sight of Rose in the commotion. With a slight tremble in his hands, he glanced at her and thought about how he'd been trying to avoid her lately. But it seemed like fate wouldn't allow that. He gave his parents a quizzical look. "What's the argument about this time? Can't you two come to an understanding?" It was difficult to deal with her mother's domineering personality, but now that she was ill, Rose had no choice but to be patient and obedient. Joseph pushed Rose and Isabella off with a single hand, gesturing to the balcony. "Where do you two think she can say? You've ignored her for years. She feels like a widow. If anything happens,you're going? Stay there until I tell you it's because of you." Mason shouted, "Joseph!" Joseph hung up the phone and threw it on the bed with anger. The following day, Christopher called to inform him that his father would contact the hospital and the doctor. When Christopher found out that Joseph had already arranged for the hospital and attending doctor (who were hard to find), he chuckled, "Your father was still worried it would be too difficult for you to handle. I assured him that you'd be fine." Hospitalization was currently a serious matter, and finding an expert doctor was even harderalright to come by. If Joseph didn't have any connections, he wouldn't have been able to manage it so quickly. It was clear that Joseph was doing well. Olivia arrived the next day, accompanied by Isabella and her aunt. Her aunt happened to be a senior intern, so after a few days at Olivia's workplace, she came together without any official business. Joseph brought the food they ate outside and headed straight to the hospital to take care of the hospitalization procedures without even returning home. The surgery was set for the following morning. Mason showed up in the evening, but Joseph didn't give him a warm reception and walked away with a scowl etched on his face. When he returned home, Isabella was leaning against the sofa, engrossed in her phone. Seeing that Joseph was in a bad mood, she put her phone down and jokingly nudged his shoulder. "Geez, with that frown you're gonna get wrinkles. Relax, Auntie will be just fine." Joseph forced a smile and patted her shoulder. "Get some sleep, sweetheart." Isabella went to her room and began unpacking her clothes. As she opened the wardrobe, she spotted a fluffy blanket tucked in the corner, along with a long-sleeved nightgown that made her recoil in disgust. She knew exactly who it belonged to and threw it away in the trash with a sneer. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and Joseph entered. "I spent the night with Mom in the hospital. Aunt Zhao will come over later to keep you company." Isabella nodded. "Don't worry about me, Joseph. Go take care of Mom." Joseph headed back to the hospital. Olivia was asleep and Mason had already left. "How long were you there?" "Your father stayed with your mother for a little bit before leaving," Reese replied. Joseph sneered, knowing that Mason's visit was likely just for show. Olivia hadn't even had surgery yet, and there was no need for Mason to accompany her to bed. But Joseph couldn't bring himself to stay at home either. He asked the driver to take Aunt Zhao home and stayed with his mother in the hospital all night.out."
