Chapter 143 Off To Pick Up The Kids
Looking at Rosalie‘s car driving away, Andrius turned and entered the villa.
Andrea was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, her expression unhappy. Seeing him come in, she just
opened her eyes to glance at him before withdrawing her gaze. Andrius‘ expression sank when he saw
his sister‘s appearance. “Take a look at yourself. Just what did Dr. Jacobs do to you? You lash out every
time you see her. She‘s a benefactor who‘s treating Grandpa!”
Hearing this, Andrea looked at her brother disapprovingly. “Benefactor? It‘s not as if we gave her nothing.
At most, we just gave each other what we needed.”
With that, she continued with a displeased expression, “Brother, with how you‘re speaking up for her,
don‘t tell me you‘ve been cheated by that woman as well? You asked me how she has offended me, so
let me ask you, what hallucinogenic drug did she feed you?” Andrius glared at her sternly. “Stop talking
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnonsense! The matter between Dr. Jacobs and Byron is indeed a private matter between them. We have
no right to intervene, and you won‘t mention it again in the future!”
Seeing that her brother was angry, Andrea closed her mouth with shame but was still unconvinced.
Rosalie really did not want to take Andrea‘s words to heart, but she was inevitably affected by them. She
was a little depressed during the time it took to reach the research institute. After going around the
research institute and noting that there was nothing important, she thought of heading home to adjust her
mood for a bit. Just as she was about to leave after packing up, someone knocked on the office door.
Rosalie opened the door, and at the door was a doctor of some renown in the institute.
“Dr. Jacobs, it‘s good that you‘re here. We found something wrong with one of the formulas when we
were conducting the research. Everyone has been studying it all morning but we‘re unable to find the
reason. Could I trouble you to take a look at it for us?” Hearing this, Rosalie‘s expression became
dignified. She hurried back to change back into her lab coat before following him into the experimental
area. After going in and taking a look at it, she realized that the issue was indeed rather serious. Since it
was also a relatively important project of the research institute, Rosalie joined in on the research
ceaselessly.
This research continued till evening, and she even forgot about the time the children got off from school.
“Dr. Jacobs, your mobile phone seems to be ringing.” Someone pointed out carefully, Rosalie then
returned to her senses. She fished out her phone from the pocket of her lab coat.
Seeing the name on the screen, she could not help frowning. She had unblocked Byron‘s number ever
since she started taking care of Estie.
Why was he calling this time?
“Is something wrong?” Rosalie answered the phone after hesitating for a moment.
At the other end, Byron looked at the time and asked in a deep voice, “Where are you now?”
Rosalie said, “At the research institute. We hit a few snags with one of the projects and we‘re still
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstudying it. What‘s the matter?”
Hearing this, Byron pinched between his brows. “I see. The kindergarten just called me and said that
they couldn‘t get through to you. The children are still waiting for someone to pick them up. I‘ll go since
you‘re still busy.” Rosaline only then thought about the children who were still at the kindergarten. It was
fine for her own two boys since they were used to her being busy with work and fetching them later.
However, there was Estie. She was just getting better, so Rosalie was afraid that something would
happen because of this. Thinking of this, apologies surged through Rosalie‘s heart. “I‘m sorry, I was so
busy with research that I didn‘t hear my phone ringing just now. Why don‘t I go?” Byron had already
grabbed his coat and entered the elevator. “No need. It‘s the same if either one of us goes. You can get
back to your work.” Rosalie still wanted to say something but the call had already been cut off from the
other end.
