Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Chapter 313

Romeo took Rosemary to the master bathroom on the second floor and gently put her down, saying, "Hang on a sec."

He turned around and went to the dressing room to get clean clothes and the necessary supplies for her period. After opening the package, he had no clue how to use the sanitary pads properly, so he looked it up online and then helped Rosemary put it on. Rosemary blushed when she saw it. She didn’t expect him to be that thorough, but the thing was, he put it on backwards.

"Did I put it on wrong?" Romeo noticed her reaction.

"Um," Rosemary murmured, "you put it on backward."

Romeo looked down at the thing in his hand.

"The smaller end goes in the front."

Got it.

Romeo ripped off the pad and tossed it into the trash bin, then put a new one on, his movements much smoother than before.

"Do you need me to help you change?"

"No need!" Rosemary took the stuff from his hand and quickly closed the door, her face redder than ever.

After a while, Romeo heard the sound of water running. Rosemary must be trying to wash her dirty clothes after taking a shower.

Romeo walked up and knocked on the door. "Rose, leave the clothes there and don’t touch the cold water."

Rosemary didn’t think he would notice even that. The blushing Rosemary, who had finally calmed down, turned beet red again.

"I wash it with warm water so it’ll be quick."

She at least wanted to wash off those stains. Otherwise, Derek would see them when he came to collect the dirty clothes tomorrow.

"No need for you to do the laundry, just listen to me." Romeo, seeing her not responding, knocked on the door again and said, "Leave them there and I’ll wash them later."

"There is no need for you to."

"Be good; come out."

Seeing that Romeo was still knocking on the door, Rosemary had no choice but to put the clothes aside and open the door, and the next second, she was carried to the bed by Romeo.

Since there were only two men, Derek and Gary, in the house, Romeo guessed that Rosemary was worried that Derek would see these when he came to collect the dirty clothes the next day. With that in mind, he suddenly felt he had been negligent. He should have called a woman to take care of her. Otherwise, there might be times when Rosemary would feel uncomfortable.

"Just sit for a bit." Romeo placed the pillow behind her, covered her with the quilt, and brought her a hot water bottle.

The hot water bottle was heated by Romeo while Rosemary was taking a shower, and the temperature was just right at this moment.

"You put it on your lower abdomen to keep warm."

Seeing her lips turning a bit pale, Romeo spoke softly, "Wait a sec."

At this time, Derek had gone to rest. Romeo took out the medicine he had prepared in advance and brought it to Rosemary.

"It’s not hot; just right to drink."

Rosemary saw his meticulous care and knew without thinking that he must have prepared in advance.

"Is it too bitter?" Romeo saw her take a sip and asked softly.

"Not really."

"Let me try." Romeo took a light sip from the cup she had drunk from and asked, "Can you handle it?"

Romeo’s voice was full of concern: "If you don’t feel like drinking, then don’t."

"Alright."

Romeo watched as she lifted her slender neck, taking sips from her cup, his heart aching more with every drink. Already uncomfortable from her period, she still had to drink this crap. It was too much. He decided he’d check later to see which manufacturer produced it to see if it could be improved. He couldn’t bear to see his girlfriend suffering like this. Once she finished drinking, Romeo took the cup and placed it aside, whispering, "Why not use it? Is it too cool or too hot?"

"It’s a bit heavy and uncomfortable on my stomach."

"Then let me warm you up." Romeo gently caressed her lower abdomen and asked, "Is this better?"

Rosemary wanted to say his hand was too cold, less warm than the hot-water bottle. But seeing his earnest effort, she nodded her head in the end.

His eyes didn’t miss the expression on her face. Romeo thought for a moment and placed his hand on his stomach. He realized his palm temperature wasn’t warm enough, despite the clothing. He grabbed the hot-water bottle again, warming his hands first before placing them on Rosemary’s abdomen.

"Is this better than before?"

Seeing his sincere inquiry, Rosemary felt warmth in her heart. He could catch and comprehend every single expression and glance from her.

"Yeah, much better," Rosemary replied with a smile.

"I have some painkillers that the doctor said can help if the pain gets too intense."

Just then, Rosemary’s phone started to vibrate. Romeo stood up and said, "I’ll get it."

The phone screen flashed. It was a call from Caden.

Seeing that name, Romeo hesitated. Was this guy always calling Rosemary? For what reason at this late hour? Did he think Rosemary was alone at school without her fiancé?

Rosemary noticed Romeo seemed a bit angry when he handed over the phone. Seeing the caller ID, she couldn’t help but laugh.

She picked up the call in front of Romeo.

"Rosemary, are you busy?" Caden’s voice came through: "Are you tired recently?"

"I’m fine." Rosemary replied, glancing at Romeo and feeling more amused. "What’s up?"

"There’s a difficult patient at the hospital. Can you come and take a look?"

"Now?"

Upon hearing this, Romeo instantly shot her a warning look: You dare go on a date this late? Just try it!

"Can you make it? The patient has a headache, dizziness, facial paralysis, and left-side weakness. After examination, we found a plaque deep in the middle cerebral artery and two aneurysms about to rupture."

Rosemary realized the gravity of the situation. Both plaque and aneurysms could lead to disability or even death. Their simultaneous occurrence could potentially result in cerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke.

"The problem is that the patient’s right M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery is severely narrowed with M2 branch stenosis. After intensive medical treatment, the cerebral infarction still recurs. The interventional treatment is difficult and risky, and the long-term effect of the stent is not good."

Unaware of Romeo’s jealousy, Caden continued explaining the case: "The only solution right now is to perform intracranial vascular reconstruction to improve cerebral ischemia, which might reduce the risk of severe cerebral infarction."

Romeo didn’t understand their conversation. He only knew Caden had been talking for a while, and Rosemary had no intention to hang up. He even took her hand, a displeased look on his face.

Rosemary understood. To perform surgery and clear the blocked cerebral vessels, the plaque inside the vessels must be removed manually first, a highly difficult process. The M2 segment was located deep in the lateral fissure of the brain, with extremely limited operational space, about the size of a finger. Moreover, the diameter of the middle cerebral artery was less than 3 millimeters. To completely remove the plaque and suture the vessels, microsurgery required magnification of more than a dozen times under a microscope, demanding high precision from surgical instruments and the surgeon’s skills. The doctors at the hospital clearly lacked such capabilities. If Caden were to operate alone, the risk would undoubtedly be high.
