Chapter 249
The woman
was dressed in a long white down jacket, wrapped tightly from head to toe. Hervey raised his hand and gently brushed away the long hair that was covering her cheek, revealing a face covered in bruises.
Her original skin was now mottled with blue and purple marks, with fine scratches on her cheekbones, a split lip seeping blood, and her left eye was terribly swollen and bruised.
Even so, Howard recognized her. It was her, Rosie. His heart skipped a heat and his brows furrowed. He thought, “What has she been through? Why does she look so miserable!
These injuries were clearly not from the car accident, but rather from being beaten. He thought, Who can have done this to her?”
Hervey explained. “Ms. Miller didn’t hit the car. She fainted in front of it, probably from exhaustion!”
“Hmm…” As he spoke, Rosie winced and groaned as she opened her eyes.
She was disoriented for a moment, looking around in panic. She thought, Tam in a car? Right, I have almost hit a vehicle. Then she saw Howard and Hervey by the car door. The car she had hit belonged to Mr. Flynn.
“Sorry” Rosie touched her forehead and nodded apologetically at Howard, “Mr. Flynn, I’ve caused you trouble. Il leave now” As she turned to get out of the car. Howard grabbed her arm.
Howard examined her closely, “You need to go to the hospital. I’ll take you.”
Rosie was taken aback and shook her head, saying, “It’s just a few minor injuries, no need to go to the hospital for that. Thank you for your kindness.” She pulled away from Howard and insisted on getting out of the car.
As she stepped out of the car door, before Howard could say anything to make her stay. Rosie retreated back into the car and bent down, hiding
under the seli.
Howard frowned, “What are you doing?”
“Shh!” Rosie urgently gestured for silence, saying. “Hease, let me hide for a moment, just a moment!”
Howard thought, ‘Hide? From whom? Howard looked out the car window.
A silver–gray Volvo was parked by the roadside, and Daniel got out of the car, looked around, and called out, “Rosie! Rosier”
Instantly. Howard understood.
That’s not…” Hervey also saw and blurted out instinctively.
“Hervey!” Howard cut him off with a sharp look and a slight shake of his head. Hervey got the message and immediately fell silent.
Howard looked down at the girl hiding in fear, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, getting worse by the second.
Howard thought, ‘She is so afraid of Daniel
Daniel, so it must have been him who beat her?”
“Hervey. Howard commanded in a deep voice. “Get in the car, to the hospital.
“Yes, sir” Hervey closed the back door and got into the car, saying, “Zaid, let’s go to the hospital”
“Alright. The car pulled away, but Rosie remained in her position, not realizing that she was temporarily out of danger.
Howard, looking at her injured eye, reminded her. “You’re safe now, sit up properly.”
“Huh?” Rosie snapped out of her daze, swallowed hard, and shakily climbed back up to sit properly, shrinking into the corner.
“Thank you, thank you so much” she said and peeked outside, “There’s no need to take me to the hospital, just drop me off at the next intersection…
“Drop you off?” Howard was irritated and cun her off, “And let that man catch up to you and beat you again?”
Rosie was startled and stared at him. She thought, “He guessed it?
“Rose,” Howard said her name, “Since I’ve stepped in to help you, I can’t just leave things half–done. To the hospital, your injuries need a doctor’s

“But… Rosie still wanted to refuse. She thought. To have Mr. Flynn accompany me to the doctor? How can I dare?
“Don’t trust me?” Howard seemed to have guessed her thoughts, saying, “How about this? Once we get to the hospital, I’ll have Sienna stay with you. You trust Sienna, don’t you?” He made the decision without allowing Rosie to refuse.
Rosie let out a soft sigh and leaned against the car door, fine then. To refuse Mr. Flynn’s kindness would make her seem ungrateful.
“Rose” at the hospital. Sienna had received a call in advance and was already waiting in the emergency center.
“Sienna.” Rosie managed a pained smile. Her appearance shocked Sienna, who wanted to ask how she had ended up like this, but the most important thing right now was Rosie’s injuries.
“Rosie, come on, let the doctor take a look.” Sienna said.
“Okay.” Rosie said. Most of Rosie’s injuries were soft tissue contusions, with her eye being the worst,
-Your
eye here, be careful, it was almost the eyeball that got hurt… the doctor said bluntly, “Meaning, you were almost blind in that eye.”
The doctor, being in the emergency room, had seen it all and couldn’t help but ask, “Was it a man who did this?” Instantly, Rosie’s face turned pale. The doctor knew he had hit the nail on the head.
The doctor indignantly said, “Dump this kind of man as soon as possible! There are so many men in the world, don’t know how to find a good one! Not to mention, you don’t need a man to live.”
While talking, he wrote her a prescription. The doctor said. “You need an IV, stay for observation
“Okay, thank you, doctor” Sienna helped Rosie get up, Howard and Hervey hadn’t left yet, and Hervey took the prescription from her hand.
“I’ll take care of it” Hervey said.
“Okay.”
Sienna didn’t expect Howard to stay either, and said. “Thanks, Howard, I can handle the rest. Let Josiah know so he doesn’t get angry”
“Okay” Howard furrowed his brows, his gaze falling on Rosie, his voice unconsciously softening
“Rest well” Rosie was taken aback, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the attention, and said, “I will, thank you.”
“You’re welcome” Howard’s lips pressed together. Her thank you‘ made him feel somewhat undeserving. All he could do for her was just this much
Rosie was settled in the observation room and had the IV started. Sienna stayed by her bedside, and Rosie apologized embarrassedly, “Sienna, you’re trouble.”
“What are you talking about?” Sienna lightly scolded her. “You haven’t helped me enough” Among friends, it’s all about give and take, helping each
other out.
However, Sienna hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up, “Rosie, don’t think I’m butting in. Did Daniel hit you like this!”
Rosie was stunned, fell silent, and then nodded. “Rosie. Upon hearing this, Sienna exhaled indignantly
“Are you still going to keep entangling yourself with this kind of man? He’s both shameless and scummy, and now he’s even starting to hit you. Besides, he has a wife. Rosie, listen to me–break up with him,” Sienna said.
“Sienna” Rosie’s eyes were already red, and her voice choked as she clenched her hands.
“Daniel, he… he is my husband. I am his wife!” Sienna said.
Sienna thought, “What? Sienna was shocked and thought. This is unexpected! But it seemed everything made sense now. Rosie wasn’t the type to break up someone else’s family.
Rosie sobbed quietly, “He wasn’t like this before. He became like this because of me.”
