Chapter 475
Rosalie stayed by Sebastian’s side for a long time, refusing to leave. Christopher glanced at his watch, and threw a glance at Yvonne.
When the two of them left the ward, Yvonne asked, “Uncle, what’s the matter?”
“Take Rosalie back home for some rest. I’ll have someone watch over Seb,” Christopher said.
“I’m afraid Rose wouldn’t want to go back,” Yvonne said.
“Try to persuade her. Staying the night here wouldn’t help things, and would only serve to tire herself out. Make her have a good rest and come again tomorrow.”
Yvonne looked doubtfully at Christopher. “Why do I sense so much concern from you for Rose? The way you look at her is weird.”
Yvonne was usually rather blithe, but she had her thoughtful moments. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have seen through her brother’s feelings for Rosalie right from the start.
When she saw Christopher fall silent, she pressed, “What’s the matter? Are you upset with Rose? Do you think that since she’s a divorcee, she’s not fit for Seb? I guarantee you, Rose is a great woman, and…”
“Vonnie,” Christopher cut her off. “I didn’t mean that. It’s not my place to comment on your brother’s marriage, since your parents have no comments. That’s especially so for your father. I know what he’s like. Since he is happy with Rose, that proves that she isn’t a bad choice.”
Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”
“Can I ask you for a favor?” Christopher asked.
His serious expression filled Yvonne’s heart with doubt. “What do you need help with?”
“Take Rosalie back, and see if she has a red mole in the middle of her back.”
Yvonne’s heart leapt. “Why are you asking that?”
Her uncle’s request shocked her very much.
“Well…” Christopher glanced in the direction of the ward, and said with a slight smile, “Are you willing to help me? I don’t mean any ill-will, I swear.”
“I don’t understand. Isn’t this your first time meeting Rose? Why do you want to know whether there’s a red mole on her back?”
Christopher sighed. “I can tell you why, but can you promise me not to tell anyone about it, and that it’ll be a secret between both of us?”
Since he needed a favor from Yvonne, he had to tell her the truth.
Yvonne nodded. “Okay.”
In hushed tones, Christopher confessed, “Back then, my eldest brother had an illegitimate daughter. When my sister-in-law found out… Well, you know her. She’s not known for being benevolent and soft-hearted. To protect his

Yvonne was shocked. “Do you mean that Rose might be my eldest uncle’s illegitimate daughter? Why do you think so?”
“Because she resembles the woman he loved very much. The first time I saw her, had a very strong feeling about it. dug up some information, and found out that she was adopted-she just doesn’t know about it. That is why I had my doubts.” Content belongs toNôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Yvonne was dumbfounded. She had never known about this.
“No wonder you looked so strange when you first saw Rose. If… If she really is my eldest uncle’s daughter, isn’t she cousins with Seb?”
Christopher nodded. “That’s what
I’m worried about, which is why I’m
asking you for help to confirm it. I saw the child back then, and noticed a red mole on her back. If this matches, she might really be his daughter.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Yvonne was very nervous. She never expected things to turn out this way, and for her eldest uncle to harbor such a secret.
It had been many years since his eldest uncle died from cancer.
“Do my parents know about this?” she asked.
“They don’t. This is a well-kept secret of something disgraceful. Your eldest uncle wanted to find his daughter while he was alive, but he didn’t do so in consideration of his wife. So, can you do me this favor?”
Yvonne nodded. “Yes, I’ll help you. I want to get to the bottom of this, too.”
If Rosalie really was Sebastian’s cousin, their marriage would turn out to be ridiculous-although it was nothing but a sham in the first place. Sebastian might break down upon knowing this, too. He liked Rosalie so much, but the woman he loved so much turned out to be his cousin. If this had happened a few decades ago, marriage between cousins was commonplace and not a big deal. However, things were different now. Yvonne walked into the ward and toward Rosalie. “Rose, it’s very late. Let me send you back home for some rest.”
Rosalie shook her head. “I want to be with him here. I don’t feel tired at all.”
“Rose, there will be someone here taking care of Seb. He’ll be worried if he sees you staying up all night and not getting the rest you need.” “Vonnie, don’t try to persuade me. I really want to be by his side,” Rose insisted stubbornly.
