Rosalynn’s POV.As soon as I stepped out of the toilet, I was startled when I bumped into Liam standing outside. He hurriedly approached me and touched my forehead."Are you okay? You look pale. Let me take you to the hospital," he said, pulling me along with concern.Instinctively, I dodged him and pushed his hand away, then proceeded forward, "I'm fine, Liam. I must have eaten something not very clean recently, so my stomach feels uncomfortable. There's really no issue," I assured him."Wait, Rosa. We haven't finished talking yet."We returned to our table, and I hastily grabbed my bag, "Sorry, Liam. I'll see you later at the piano class. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'll head home now.""Do you need a ride?" Liam leaned on the table, exhaling in frustration. Then he grabbed his coat and car keys to prepare to leave.I shook my head, "Thanks for the meal. See you later.""Take care on the way. Text me when you get home." Liam's voice trailed behind me as I hurried away,
Rosalynn’s POV.“Let go of her! Step away immediately.” Katherine forcefully yanked Christine's hand from my blouse and shoved her away.Tears streamed down Christine's face, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. The chaotic scene quickly drew the attention of many onlookers, who pointed and murmured disapprovingly at Katherine and me.I hesitated to help her up, but she persisted in shaking her head. "No, Rosalynn. I implore you, please, just let us be?”“What are you saying? Can't we calmly resolve this? We're in a hospital, your disruption affects many others.” I furrowed my brow and pulled her up. “Stand up!”Once Christine was on her feet, she clung tightly to my arm, refusing to let us leave. Reflecting on our first meeting, her demeanor was confident and somewhat arrogant, a far cry from her current state of distress. And furthermore, she was in a hospital... Could Nolan be here too?“Let’s find somewhere else to talk,” I gently untangled her fingers from mine and calmly sugge
Rosalynn’s POV."What? Music plagiarism?""This round requires performing a self-composed piece. Did she lack ideas so much that she dared to take this risk? I was really looking forward to this contestant.""With this level, she still dares to perform? Why not just withdraw voluntarily! It's disrespectful to the artistry, especially in front of such esteemed piano masters.""She's really lost her sense of respect for the piano world. We paid to come here to enjoy music and expect new melodies, not to encounter individuals who don't respect the art like her!"As time went on, the criticisms became more harsh as the hall buzzed like a disturbed beehive. I felt a bit panicked by this unexpected turn of events and instinctively raised my hand to shield my eyes from the glaring lights.What were they talking about? I didn't understand at all. How could my self-composed piece, which Liam had approved, coincide with someone else's composition? Seeing the MC approaching, I took a deep breath
Nolan’s POV.The feeble punches raining down on my chest didn’t actually hurt at all, but seeing Rosalynn both scold me and cry, I couldn’t bear to watch her tears fall.Gripping her wrists tightly, I sternly said, "Calm down, Rosalynn!"The room fell into silence for a moment as it was just the two of us here."Give me that stack of pictures, I know what I have to do." She struggled to break free from me, and I reluctantly let go, fearing that such agitated actions would harm the baby in her womb.Before I could continue, my petite woman erupted in a fit of anger, glaring at me. "While I'm unfairly accused and criticized by many, you still want to conceal everything and protect her?""I need to clarify this with Christine before making any rash decisions. If she's truly wrong, I'll make her apologize to you."She grasped my arm and raised her voice to ask, "Is an apology enough? You still want to give her time while the evidence against her is so clear. Nolan Kingston, you always yiel
Nolan’s POV."Fortunately, the baby is unharmed. The first three months of pregnancy require extreme caution, and the mother's state of mind is crucial. Let's not expose her to any more mental shocks. This could adversely affect the baby's development."After arriving at the hospital, I entered the doctor's office to discuss Rosalynn's condition. As soon as he finished speaking, I paused for a moment, then asked further."She's nauseous at every meal and can hardly eat anything... Plus, she's very prone to tears. Will this affect her health?"Despite being pregnant, Rosalynn seemed to be getting thinner by the day, despite Anne's diligent care."This is just morning sickness, nothing too dangerous. Try adjusting her diet to suit her, but most importantly, ensure her mental well-being."Behind me, the door clicked shut, but I didn't turn back. I listened attentively and memorized every word of the doctor's advice, then discussed her health further. Adjusting the watch on my wrist, I wai
Rosalynn’s POV.On that day, we ventured together to explore numerous tourist spots and streets in San Francisco. It was just the two of us, and Nolan was more than willing to drive me wherever I desired.Both of us were in sync, not mentioning a word about recent unpleasant events.As dusk fell upon the city, we stopped by an Asian restaurant for dinner.“Rosalynn? Babe? Is this dish not to your liking?”I was awakened by Nolan's call and glanced down at my bowl of Vietnamese Pho. Before I could respond, he handed me the menu, intending to call the waiter to change the dish.“No, Pho is delicious. It has a refreshing flavor, and the broth is pleasantly sweet. I don't feel nauseous at all.” I grabbed his arm to stop him and placed the menu aside.The restaurant was designed with an open space concept, and we were seated near the balcony, able to enjoy the bustling streets illuminated by warm yellow lights. Gentle breezes carried the scent of the sea, making me feel incredibly content.
Rosalynn’s POV."Marie, should we call the police?"There was no cash in my purse, but most importantly, I had my passport and ID so we could board a plane back to Las Vegas. However, before I could panic about being robbed, Liam had already chased after the robber.I anxiously waited for the two men to return, while Marie calmly sipped her coffee as if nothing significant had happened.Setting her cup down on the table, she shrugged and smiled at me, "Don't worry. Liam knows his way around this city very well. He'll handle it just fine. With the recent surge in street robberies, the police must already be informed.""Are you sure everything's okay?" My unease was mounting.Before Marie could reply, a distant gunshot made both of us jump. I stood up, my face drained of color, realizing it was where Nolan and Liam had just run towards."What are you doing?" Marie pulled my hand back as I was about to step forward."Going to find them!"She furrowed her brow at me and then lifted her pu
Rosalynn’s POV.As soon as the car came to a stop, I bolted out and ran towards a crowd gathered nearby."Excuse me, please make way." I squeezed through the crowd, ignoring Nolan's constant calls from behind.The accident happened at the intersection when the pickup truck ran a red light and collided with the black Mercedes. My heart felt like it was hanging in the air as I looked at the license plate.Oh my God, I couldn't mistake it anymore; this car belonged to Liam, but where was he?Only then did Nolan find me and use his body to shield me amidst the crowd. The sirens of police and ambulances echoed nearby, and everyone cleared a path for them."Excuse me, was anyone in this car when the accident happened?" I tried to choke back a sob and asked a passerby there."I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem so. I work at the store across the street and noticed this car had been parked here for over half an hour before the accident occurred." The girl thought for a moment before replying."
