Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 296

She had helped Grandpa Phillip before, and now she was taking care of Grandma Shirley. She heard that Grandma Shirley was getting better. Both were taking the medication she prescribed.

Even though she didn’t really think Rosemary was that much of a hotshot doctor—after all, she failed to treat Grace Harris—they still needed to be on their toes. What if she was actually a better doctor than Noreen?

Noreen got Serena’s drift, "Don’t sweat it, Serena. When it comes to medicine, I can confidently say I’m miles ahead of her! I’ve been immersed in medicine since I was a kid. Rosemary surpassing me? That is possible only in her dreams!"

"You must totally outshine her professionally, show her who’s boss, and give her a good lesson!"

"Rest assured, Serena, I will!"

Serena hung up the phone, and a smirk of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. Even if she was not at Westerly College, she could still make Rosemary’s life miserable!

For the next two days, ever since he realized that Rosemary was no pushover, Jerome wouldn’t let her join any extracurricular activities. Today’s training was a three-kilometer run. He whistled and beckoned Rosemary.

"Grab the stopwatch and stand under the tree, time them."

Rosemary was confused. What was going on? Wasn’t she allowed to participate in the activity? Was she just supposed to watch them? Was this not isolating her or what?

The classmates all noticed that. These two days, Jerome was extra protective of Rosemary, not letting her join any activities. Was it because she was pretty? Was he into her? Thinking like this, they all chuckled knowingly.

"Everyone ready, on my command, start running."

Jerome blew the whistle, completely disregarding their assumptions. Everyone started to run.

"Rosemary, just find a shady spot and time them."

Jerome turned his head and suddenly found that Rosemary was gone. Looking closely, he found out that she had already joined the group and was running behind her classmates! Wasn’t she supposed to time them? Why did she just join the group with the stopwatch? If something happened, how was he going to explain it to Lieutenant Colonel Capra? And how would Lieutenant Colonel Capra explain it to his superiors? This clueless girl was nothing but trouble!

Seeing Rosemary completing a lap and passing by him, Jerome quickly stepped forward, "Rosemary, come here for a second."

Rosemary ignored him and continued running. It felt great to move her body like this. She was bored out of her mind from not participating in the past two days of training.

Worried that she might faint, when she completed the second lap, Jerome blew the whistle again, "Rosemary, come over here."

"Time’s not up."

Rosemary continued running, as swift as the wind.

Jerome suddenly regretted letting her run three kilometers. If she continued like this, she might be in danger!

By the time Rosemary completed the third lap, Jerome immediately blocked her way, saying sternly, "Didn’t you hear me when I told you to time them from under the tree?"

A few classmates nearby were surprised. Jerome looked like a boyfriend worried about his girlfriend getting tired from running. It looked so warm.

"Are you criticizing me?"

Rosemary narrowed her eyes, and Jerome suddenly felt a little intimidated by her words, "I mean, you can just time them from under the tree."

That girl’s aura was too strong, and that involuntarily reminded him of his superior.

"I’ll participate in all the following activities. Whatever happens, I won’t complain to Lieutenant Colonel Capra, so you can relax."

After saying that, Rosemary turned around to catch up with the group, without giving Jerome any chance to refuse her proposal.

Watching the determined back of the young girl, Jerome suddenly realized that her personality and the way she handled things were very similar to one of his superiors. Thinking of his young but stern-faced superior, Jerome couldn’t help but shiver. So scary!

"Jerome may not know that you can easily run for ten kilometers," Kelly chuckled as she ran, "I wonder who got him to give you this ’special care’? It’s so obvious that he’s just giving you a hard time."

"I’m not so sure myself," Rosemary jogged at an easy pace, guessing that aside from her family, it might just be Romeo who would pull something like that.

"By the way, the thing you’re looking for will be at an auction in half a month. We’ll go together."

"Sounds good, just give me a heads up when it’s time."

"No problem."

After running three kilometers, everyone stood in front of Jerome, panting heavily, listening to him speak. Jerome’s gaze swept across the crowd.

"Guys, tomorrow’s Friday, and we’re setting up an obstacle race on the hill behind the school. If any class can get through the obstacle in the shortest time and grab the flag at the finish line, they win. The winning class gets a day off."

Everyone got overjoyed upon hearing that. Sweet! This field trip was set to last for half a month with absolutely no breaks. A day off was like a godsend to them.

"But grabbing the flag won’t be that easy. None of the instructors will be with you to assist. You’ll have to tackle the challenge on your own."

Hearing that, many people started to get nervous.

"Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!!"

"Remember, we’re not cowards. Even if we have to crawl, we crawl to the finish line! Got it?"

"Got it."

"Louder!"

"Got it!"

"Good, dismissed!"

Jerome blew his whistle, then turned to Rosemary, "Rosemary, can you come over here for a second?"

People started to whisper.

"Looks like Jerome really has a thing for Rosemary. He couldn’t wait to talk to her right after dismissal."

"Do you think Rosemary likes him? Will she agree to date him?"

"I think it’s possible. He seems macho and manly."

"His skin is a bit rough, but he’s handsome."

Rosemary walked over to Jerome and asked in a flat tone, "What’s up? Can you not call me out in front of everyone?"

Her cheeks were a bit flushed from the run, making her look even more beautiful.

Jerome couldn’t meet her eyes, coughed awkwardly, and asked with his head low, "Uh, just now, when you were running, did you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Rosemary was puzzled by that question. "Did anything go wrong?"

Rosemary was a bit speechless and then assured him, saying, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"Okay, if you don’t feel up to tomorrow’s race, you can take a leave."

"I’m fine." Rosemary lifted her chin confidently.

Jerome was surprised by her attitude. What a confident girl!!

"If there’s really a problem, just turn on your phone. The tracker will find your location."

Rosemary was taken aback as she was being pampered like a baby. Was she really that weak?

"Rest assured, I will hand the flag to you tomorrow."

Watching the girl turn and leave, Jerome sighed again. She’s too confident, overly confident! She was still too young to understand the gravity of things happening around her.
