Chapter 340
Yvonne grinned happily. She was easily pleased, just like a child.
“That’s right! Seb, did you hear that? I don’t know why you had to lecture me. Rosalie isn’t even mad at me. You’re meddling way too much!”
Seeing Sebastian’s furrowed brow, Rosalie quickly said, “You two, stop arguing all the time, especially because of me. I feel guilty.”
Since Rosalie looked so pitiful, Sebastian and Yvonne hurriedly shut their mouths.
Seeing the siblings finally calling a ceasefire, Rosalie relaxed. She glanced at Sebastian’s forehead, where his injury had been bandaged.
“Seb, do you have any other injuries?”
When she arrived at their house earlier, Sebastian’s forehead was already injured. She wondered if Geoffrey had beaten him anywhere
else.
“Don’t worry, Rosalie,” Yvonne said. “My brother has thick skin.”
Sebastian wanted to lecture Yvonne again, but with Rosalie present, he refrained from saying anything. He didn’t want to upset her.
“Vonnie, don’t be so mean to your brother all the time,” Rosalie said, suddenly turning serious.
Yvonne was taken aback. “What?”
“While I don’t want your brother to lecture you, you shouldn’t put him down like that, especially in front of others.”
Rosalie was fair. Naturally, she wouldn’t favor Yvonne completely.

“I’m not disrespecting him! His pride isn’t affected by me, anyway,” Yvonne muttered. She was like a child being scolded by her parents, unwilling to admit her mistakes but also not daring to argue loudly.
Rosalie shook her head helplessly, and sighed softly.
“Why are you sighing, Rose? I’ll listen to you, alright? I won’t be mean to him anymore,” Yvonne said quickly. She was afraid of making Rosalie angry, fearing she would fall down the ranks in Rosalie’s heart.
Seeing Yvonne listening to Rosalie, Sebastian felt somewhat
satisfied. The girl was usually fearless except when it came to their father, but now, she was afraid of Rosalie.
Rosalie looked at the time; it was already afternoon. Time had passed really quickly.
“Seb, Vonnie, since the problem’s solved, I’m going home now.”
So saying, she lifted the blanket from her body.
“But your health…” Sebastian approached her, and asked, “Don’t you need to rest a bit longer?”
“I think it’s better for me to rest at home. Besides, it’s not like I have anything serious. Also, I don’t like staying in hospitals.”
Staying in the hospital made Rosalie feel uneasy. Recently, she found herself visiting hospitals frequently.
“In that case, let me take you home,” Sebastian and Yvonne said simultaneously, their tones perfectly synchronized.
“Um…”
Rosalie suddenly remembered that her car was still at the Carter Residence. She had driven there today, but because she felt unwell, Sebastian had brought her to the hospital in his car.

Sebastian, standing behind Yvonne, pinched her discreetly.
“Ouch!” Yvonne yelped in pain.
Rosalie was startled. “What’s wrong?”
Yvonne glared at Sebastian, resentful, then forced a smile. “It’s nothing! I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I made plans with a friend, so I have to leave now. Seb will take you home.”
If she stayed here any longer, her brother would probably pinch her to death.
“But how are you going there? You didn’t drive here,” Rosalie said. Why don’t you let your brother take you?”
“No need!” Yvonne took a few steps back. “I’ll just take a taxi, or have my friend pick me up. I’m in a hurry, so I’ll leave now. Goodbye!”
With that, Yvonne fled. Rosalie didn’t even have time to stop her.
