In the ward, Rose weakly leaned against the bedside, hooked up to an IV. The morning sunlight spilled
onto her pallid face, creating a beauty that made others feel bad for her.
“Rose,” Alyssa softly called her name, her eyes reddened.
For a moment, she couldn’t believe that the frail woman before her was the same carefree and cheerful
apprentice she knew.
“Madam?” Stunned, Rose quickly pulled her needled hand under the nket.
“What happened?”
Alyssa sat by the bed and gently held Rose’s hand, asking with concern, “How did ite to this? Who
bullied you?
Rose bit her lip and remained silent.
“Tell me quickly. I’ll stand up for you.”
“I was just dizzy from low blood sugar. It’s nothing serious.”
“Even now, you won’t tell the truth? Do you not know you have a heart condition? How long do you n
on keeping it from me?”
Alyssa was so frustrated that her face was flushed, and she tightened her grip on Rose’s hand.
“Ss told me you received a callst night. After that call, you fainted due to an emotional outburst.
Who
called you? What did they say? What happened at the nightclubst night?”
Alyssa’s questions were sharp, targeting sensitive points.
Rose’s longshes trembled, and her fingers tightened in Alyssa’s palm. “Madam, I didn’t mean to keep
it from you. But I hope you can give me some personal space and let me have a bit of my own secret.”
“No! No! No!”
Alyssa’s eyes turned red from anger. “What nonsense secret? You’re clearly being bullied, but you
don’t want me to know and let me stand up for you.
“One of my life principles is ‘an eye for an eye. Anyone who harms those around me, I’ll get back at
them
a thousandfold! Now that you’re in such a state, as your mentor, I can’t just stand idly by!”
“You can’t do anything about this!”
Rose’s chest heaved suddenly. It was the first time she spoke to Alyssa with such intensity. “I’m
begging
you. Just leave me alone, okay? I’m begging you!”
Alyssa looked stunned, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed.
When she left the ward, herplexion was visibly grim.
However, she was naturally stubborn. The more Rose hid, the more she wanted to uncover everything.
No
matter what, she had to stand up for her apprentice.
Alyssa had Sean stay to care for Rose and went to a café across the street from the hospital with Ss.
“Lyse, I think there’s a problem with Rose’s family. I don’t know if she’s mentioned it to you.”

Ss lowered his gaze. He knew his little sister didn’t like bitter coffee, so he ced a sugar cube in her
cup
“No, she only mentioned having a mother in her hometown who isn’t in great health. Besides that, she’s
never told me anything.”
Alyssa took a deep breath. “She’s my most trusted friend, so I never thought about investigating her.”
“It’s not investigating. It’s understanding. Only through understanding
her.”
on you know her pain and truly I
As Ss spoke, he clicked on a document on his phone and handed it to Alyssa. “Sorry, Lyse. I
investigated Rose without telling you. Don’t be mad at me.”
How could Alyssa be angry? She was even secretly pleased.
Sis, who had always been focused on his cases and her matters, was now genuinely putting in effort
for Rose. It wasn’t easy for him to do this.
Did this mean Alyssa will have a sister-inw soon?
“Rose is the daughter of George Emerson, the chairman of Emerson Group.”
“Emerson Group? I’ve heard of it. It’s not a bigpany, just a bit famous in Sna City, mainly in real
estate.”
Since Alyssa prepared to go back and inherit her family business, she clearly understood the people in
the domestic market, especially the bosses in Sna City.
“But if I remember correctly, George has a son and a daughter. They’re both quite high-profile, so I
remember them. How did Rose be his daughter?”
