In the hospital ward, Rozay weakly on the bed, hooked to an IV drip. The morning sunlight fell on
her, highlighting her beautiful face.
“Roza…” Be’s voice was gentle, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at her frail apprentice.
It was hard to reconcile this image with the carefree and cheerful Roza she knew.
“Master… Master?” Roza froze instantly, quickly tucking her hand with
the needle still in it under the nket.
“What’s going on?!” Be hurriedly took a seat beside the bed,
reaching out to hold Roza’s hand. She asked with concern, “How did
this happen? Who bullied you?”
Roza hesitated, unsure of how to respond. After a while, she said, “I’m
just dizzy due to low blood sugar. It’s not a big deal.”
“You’re still not telling me the truth now? Don’t you know you have a
heart condition? How long do you n on hiding it from me?!” Be’s
anger red. Her face flushed with fury as she squeezed Roza’s hand
firmly.
“My brother said you received a callst night, and after answering it, you fainted due to emotional
distress. Who called you? What did they say? Also, what happened at the nightclubst night?”
Be’s questions hit all the sore spots. Her sharp intuition cut
through Roza’s excuses..
Roza frantically blinked, and her fingers tightened slightly in Be’s palm. “Master, I didn’t mean to hide
it from you. But I hope you can
give me some personal space. Let me have a little secret of my own.”

“No! No! No!” Be’s heart swelled with indignation. Her eyes were aze with anger. “What stupid
secret? You’re obviously being bullied, and you’re hiding it from me! I believe in revenge. Whoever
dares harm someone close to me, I will pay it back to them a
hundredfold! You’re my beloved apprentice, so how can I just sit idly and watch you get bullied?”
“You can’t control this!” Roza’s chest heaved intensely. This was the first time she had spoken to Be
in such a fierce tone. “I’m begging you. Please don’t meddle in my affairs!”
Be’s expression froze, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed.
Leaving the ward, Be looked pale. But Be, being stubborn, felt even morepelled to understand
what was happening the more Roza hid it from her. No matter what, Be had to stand up for her
apprentice!
Be asked Steven to stay and settle some things while she and Axel
went to the cafe across the street from the hospital.
“Be, I think Roza has some family issues. I don’t know if she has mentioned it to you before,” Axel
said, lowering his gaze. He knew Be had a sweet tooth and gently ced a cube of sugar in her
coffee, adding a touch of sweetness.
“No, Roza only said her mother was back in her hometown and that
she wasn’t in great health. Other than that, Roza has never mentioned
anything to me.” Be replied, taking a deep breath. “She’s my most trusted friend, so I never
considered investigating her background.”
“It’s not investigating, but rather understanding. You can only help her
once you fully understand her pain.” Axel exined, his gaze
flickering as he retrieved a file from his phone and ced it in front of Be. “Sorry, Be, I investigated
Roza without telling you. Don’t be angry.”
How could Be be angry? She was even secretly happy. Her brother
had always only cared about his cases and her matters. It was surprising to see him devoting his
energy to Roza this time.
Be thought, ‘Does it mean that I’m about to gain a sister-inw soon?’
Axel revealed. “Roza is the daughter of Cole Walker, the chairman of Walker Corporation.”
“Walker Corporation? I’ve heard of it. It’s not a bigpany, but it’s quite famous in Savrow’s real
estate industry,” Bemented.
In order to take over the Thompson family business, Be maintained a good understanding of the
domestic business scene, especially the bigwigs in Savrow.
“But if I remember correctly, Cole Walker only has a son and a
daughter, who are both quite high-profile, so I have an impression of them. How is Roza his daughter?”
Axel’s eyes darkened. “Roza is his illegitimate daughter, but this has never been exposed.”
