Chapter 496
To Sebastian, every minute and every second without Rosalie by his side was a torture, and he would count the seconds till he would see her again. Finally, the door to the ward was opened. Sebastian felt a surge of joy in his heart, thinking it must be Rosalie. He turned his head, looking glad, but saw his bodyguard coming in with food instead.
His face fell immediately.
“Mr. Carter, this is food we bought for you. Let me serve it to you.”
There was a foldable table by the side of the bed which could be opened up with just the press of a button. The table opened up flat on the bed, so patients could eat on it.
“Where’s Rose? Why did you come in?” he asked.
The bodyguard explained, “Mrs. Carter said she had something to attend to and can’t come, so she asked me to prepare some food for you to eat. She wants you to rest well after the food. She’ll rush over once she’s done.”
“What is she busy with?” Sebastian pressed further. “Where is she right now?”
The bodyguard shook his head. “I don’t know, either. When I received Mrs. Carter’s call, she only told me to take care of you and that she would come once she’s done.”
Sebastian felt around his bed anxiously, as if trying to find something.
At once, the bodyguard asked, “Mr. Carter, what do you need?”
“Phone, give me my phone. I need to call her!”
“Oh, okay.” The bodyguard pulled out his phone from his pocket, scrolled to Rosalie’s number, and called it before handing it to Sebastian. However, all he heard was the automated voice.
“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
Sebastian started panting heavily. He flung the phone aside, gripped the sheets, and said in a trembling voice, “Rose doesn’t want me anymore! She’s run away. She looks down on me.”
The bodyguard immediately put the phone back in his pocket and comforted Sebastian.
“Mr. Carter, please don’t think that way. Mrs. Carter cares for you very much. I’m sure she has something urgent to attend to, which is why she can’t come. Don’t worry, she’ll be back very soon to see you.”
“She won’t come. Her phone is switched off, and she did it deliberately. She doesn’t want me anymore. I’m sure it’s because she despises me for losing my memory and not remembering anything!” Sebastian said in a panic.
“That’s not it, Mr. Carter! Do you

about you? She sat vigil by your bedside after your accident, and cried so badly for you. While you were unconscious, many people. found your organs a match for them and came forcing her to organ donation agreements. She refused them all, because she believed you’ll wake up. She was under immense pressure just to hold onto a sliver of hope. She didn’t give up on you, even while you were in a coma. How could she possibly abandon you after you gain consciousness?”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

The bodyguard’s words comforted Sebastian greatly. He looked up and said, “Really?”
“But of course, Mr. Carter! Just wait
patiently. Mrs. Carter will definitely return. She probably has something urgent to attend to. She isn’t the kind of person to leave just like that Even though she had to rush off, she remembered to call me to ask me to buy food for you. She just can’t come now, so please don’t panic.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“But…her phone is switched off. She’s not picking up my call.”
“Her phone might be switched off because it went out of battery, or due to many other reasons. If Mrs. Carter really wanted to leave you she would have done so when you were in a coma. Mr. Carter, don’t

The bodyguard served Sebastian the food as he spoke.
Sebastian kept his emotions in check, and nodded. “You’re right. I should eat well.”
He couldn’t depend on Rose for everything, or she might end up irritated with him one day.
However, he really felt scared without her by his side.
It felt as though they were the only two people left in this world, and they only had each other to depend on.
