Chapter 461
Theodore felt as if he had been struck by lightning. “You think he ended up like this because of me?”
“They’re investigating, aren’t they? We won’t know who did it until we find out. Some people are beasts disguised as humans.” Rosalie emphasized the last four words.
Theodore was dumbstruck.
The police officers turned to look at Theodore. They noticed he had bruises on his face and hands, indicative of a recent fight.
Rosalie’s hands were trembling. She didn’t want to think Theodore had done this, but she felt like she didn’t know him anymore. Moreover, if he continued staying here, he would only pressure her to sign the consent form. It was best for him to leave.
“He’s my ex–husband, and often gets into fights with my husband. They’ve fought more than once. Yesterday, he suddenly came to reconcile with me. I refused, and he got very agitated. That’s when my husband arrived to protect me, and they had a fight,” she went on.
“Rose, do you really have to smear my name like this?” Theodore clenched his fists.
“Not a single word is slander. Everything I said is the truth.‘

Rosalie had a clear conscience. Everyone was a suspect of hurting Sebastian. What she said was the truth; she had even withheld somet facts, such as what Theodore did to her yesterday.
She believed she had been more than fair.
If the investigation proved Theodore hadn’t harmed Sebastian, he would be fine. But if he was responsible, she wouldn’t cover up for him.
“And,” Rosalie continued, “he just hit someone.”
Rosalie pushed Yerick toward the police officers. “He hit my friend.”
Theodore snorted coldly. She was indeed ruthless.
“Mr. Spencer, please come with us to the police station to assist with the investigation,” the officer said.
Theodore stared coldly at Rosalic, his eyes filled with disappointment. He took a deep breath to calm himself before saying, “Alright, let me call my lawyer.”
Theodore pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and informed his lawyer of the situation. Then, he hung up and followed the police. officers.
Since Theodore hit Yerick, Yerick also had to go to the police station to give a statement, especially if he wanted to take legal action.
Before leaving, Theodore turned around, his eyes glinting coldly. He was deeply hurt.
After everything calmed down outside, the doctor came out of the ward.
Rosalie immediately approached him. “Doctor, how is he?”
The attending physician removed his mask and said, “We have managed to resuscitate Mr. Carter temporarily, but he’s still in critical. condition. He could have other complications.”
“Then keep trying to save him,” Rosalie insisted.
The doctor sighed. “Mrs. Carter, I understand how you feel, but as a doctor, I must tell you the truth. Mr. Carter’s organs will fail completely soon. There’s no activity in his brain; but his heart, liver, and kidneys are a match for three other patients in urgent need of transplants. So…”
“Have you tried your best to save him?” Rosalie pressed. “You should be consulting all medical records you can get your hands on and
researching similar cases worldwide, not just thinking about organ donation!”
“Mrs. Carter, we have done our best.”

“No, you haven’t! If you had, you wouldn’t be talking about organ donation! Ever since Sebastian arrived at this hospital and you discovered his organs matched three other patients, you just gave up!”
Rosalie wasn’t naive. She knew even hospitals could be filled with dirty deals and dark secrets. Not all doctors were good people.
If a patient couldn’t pay, they would be kicked out even if they could be saved. The hospital didn’t really care, and just wanted profit.
Even if there were doctors with a conscience, they were probably powerless. She didn’t trust the doctors from this hospital.
“Mrs. Carter, your accusations are serious. We’re doctors, so of course we’ll do our best to save patients. We would never…”
“Then stop talking about organ donations with me. I do not agree,” she cut him off.
The doctor was frustrated. He thought Rosalie was selfish, but there was nothing he could do. Without her consent, they couldn’t proceed with the surgery. If she made a scene, things could get out of hand.
After the doctor left, Rosalie’s energy left her, and she almost collapsed.
Yvonne caught her. “Rose, are you alright?”
Rosalie started crying again. “What should I do?”
Yvonne was also at a loss. Just then, several bodyguards walked over. Mrs. Carter, Miss Carter.”

“Stand guard outside the ward and protect my brother. No one except medical staff is allowed in,” Yvonne instructed.
The bodyguards nodded.
“Let’s get you something to eat. The bodyguards will watch over Seb,” Yvonne said to Rosalie.

Rosalie shook her head. “I’m not hungry. I want to stay here with Seb.”
“He’s my brother. I’m worried about him too, but staying here won’t help. The best thing we can do is take care of ourselves, especially you. If you don’t eat or drink, my brother will worry. He cares about you the most,” Yvonnie insisted.
Rosalie looked up at Yvonne, moved. Finally, she nodded. “Okay.”
