Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 303 Amy, the caretaker, tried her best to stay calm as she prepared to call the doctor.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw Rosie clutching a pillow and heading out.

Rosie couldnt see, but miraculously, she didnt bump into anything and made it smoothly to the front door.

She pulled it open and stepped outside Ms.

Miller, Amy called as she hurried after Rosie, Where are you going? Sleepwalkers couldnt hear others talking to them.

So was Rosie.

In a panic, Amy grabbed Rosies arm and said.

Ms.

Miller, you cant go out.

Its nighttime, and its freezing ourside, Rosie seemed to hear her and suddenly reacted.

Her unfocused eyes stared straight at Amy.

Amy was delighted, thinking Rosie had woken up.

She called, Ms.

Miller? However, Rosie just stood there silently, not saying a word.

Suddenly, her eyelids drooped, her body went limp, and she started to fall straight Amy was shocked.

She reached out to catch Rosic, but they both fell to the ground.

Amy called, Ms.

Miller ! Ms.

Miller ? Amy was sweating bullets and panting heavily.

She gently patted Rosies cheeks and asked, How are you? Can you hear me? Rosies teeth were clenched, showing no response at all.

Amy shouted, Somebody! Doctor Nurse! Somethings happened to Ms.

Miller! The on duty doctor rushed over.

Together with Amy, they lifted Rosie up.

The doctor asked, What happened? Quick, notify Mr.

Flynn ! Howard hurriedly arrived at the convalescent hon the cold night.

Rosic Lay quietly on the bed, but her complexion was not good, pale and unhealthy.

She wasnt asleep; she had fainted.

The doctor had examined her; her blood pressure was low, and her breathing was shallow.

Whats going on! Howard asked, his tone reproachful .

He wondered, How could three people : doctor, mirse, and caretaker, fail to care for one person! Rosie is just blind; she doesnt have any other underlying conditions.

Why did she faint? Amy, who witnessed the whole process, stepped forward to explain, Mr.

Flynn, Im not entirely sure, but Ms.

Miller seems to have somnambulism.

Hearing this, Howards brows furrowed deeply, looking somewhat sinister.

He glanced at Hervey and said, Check the surveillance.

Hervey replied, Yes, sir The convalescent hnaturally had surveillance with night vision capabilities.

From the footage, Howard saw the whole thing.

Rosie indeed had somnambulism.

What surprised him even more was that when Rosie dleepwalked, it seemed like she was treating the pillow as a child.

Mr.

Flynn, the doctor said, Weve given Ms.

Miller an injection, and shes on oxygen now.

Shes a bit better now.

Howard replied, Good.

He went to the bedroom, sat down by the bed, and quietly gazed at Rosies pale face.

He was thinking about the circumstances under which Rosie had given birth to Bobby back then.

He thought, She has a husband; how could her husband allow her to have a child? After that, she had abandoned lobby! Howards brows were deeply furrowed; he didnt understand.

Rosie could have chosen not to have Bobby.

Thinking about how Rosie had cuddled the pillow in her sleep.

Howard let out a soft sigli Maternal instinct was a womans nature.

Surely, when Rosie abandoned Bobby, she must have felt sreluctance.

Her somnambulism was probably triggered by that.

Howard raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

He thought it was he who had caused Rosie to beclike this.

On the bed, Rosie seemed uncomfortable in her sleep and raised her hand to pull out the oxygen tube.

Howard stiffened and quickly held her hand.

In a low, gentle voice, he said, Dont move.

Breathe in soxygen; ill make you feel better.

As he spoke, he gently parted her shoulder, just like he had done before to comfort her.

Gradually.

Rosie calmed down.

Howards lips curved slightly as he held her hand without letting go.

When dawn broke, Howard left the convalescent home.

Instead of going home, he went to see a psychiatrist to consult about somnambulism.

The doctor explained, If somnambulism is mild, paying attention to diet and rest can help self regulate and improve the condition.

Medication.

can be used appropriately if needed.

If its severe, then psychological counseling is necessary.

Mr.

Flynn, whats the situation with the patient you mentioned Howard was at a loss for words and shook his head.

He had just found out that Rosie had somnambulism and knew nothing else.

The doctor asked, Is it convenient for the patient to chere! Howard shook his head again.

He wasnt sure if Rosie was even aware of her condition.

If he were to bring her, what reason could he give? After all, he wasnt anyone special to her The doctor had no choice but to suggest, How about I prescribe smedication first, and you can observe the patient? Howard could manage that.

Since Rosie was staying at the convalescent home, observation was relatively easy.

He replied, Alright, prescribe the medication.

The doctor said, Sure, Mr.

Flynn.

Rosie woke up feeling extremely tired.

Ms.

Miller, youre awake, Amy said as she helped Rosic sit up, Are you feeling any better? Rosie blinked blankly. She asked, Whats wrong with me? Should I not feel good? y was surprised.

She asked.

Ms.

Miller, dont you remember what happened last night at all! Amy Rosse shook her head, even more confused.

She asked, What happened? Amy glanced at Howard, who was silent nearby.

Howard shook his head at her.

Amy understood his meaning She helped Rosie sit properly.

Last night, when you got up to use the restroom, I cto assist you.

But as soon as you stood up, you suddenly fainted, which scaredto death Amy said while patting her chest. Rosie asked, Did that happen? She couldnt recall at all Rubbing her temple, she said, I dont remember anything.

Did 1 faint? How could that be? She furrowed her brows, muttering to herself, Ive always been quite healthy.

I rarely get up at night to use the restroom.

Amy glanced at Howard again.

Then she helped Rosie get up and head towards the bathroom.

She said, Ms.

Miller, lethelp you get ready for the day.

Breakfast is prepared.

Rosic said, Okay.

Howard stood in the sspot, silent and pensive.

It seemed that Rosie was unaware of her sleepwalking issue.

When he left, Rosie had already finished getting ready and was sitting at the dining table.

Amy accompanied Rosie during breakfast, with her medication placed beside her.

Amy said, Ms.

• Miller, make sure to take your medicine after Medicine ! What medicine? Rosie asked and paused in her actions Didnt you faint last night? Amy explained, The doctor prescribed snutritional supplements for you.

Rosie nodded and said, Alright.

She was still puzzled, muttering.

It is strange, how could I have fainted? In the afternoon, Rosie was basking in the sun in the courtyard when it beca bit noisy. Amy brought Rosie srefreshments.

She said, Ms.

Miller, have swater.

Rosie replied.

Thank you.

Holdin Holding the cup, she tilted her face to the left and as asked, Whats going on over there? Amy explained, Someone has moved in next door .

Rosie nodded.

Since she had moved in, she had been the only one living in this row of townhouses.

It was quiet, sure, but also too lonely.

She wondered what kind of person had moved in and if they would be easy to get along with .
