Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Chapter 469

Rosemary trailed behind him through the courtyard to the front of the house.

In a hushed tone, Dennis said, "She’s of special status. Seeing her face could put your life in danger."

Rosemary was taken aback. That really sounded serious.

"So, all you must do is take care of her from inside. No one else will be there."

They were separated by a frosted glass wall. There was a small hole in the middle of the wall.

Rosemary realized the situation. Care-taking through the wall? Quite an unusual arrangement.

Dennis bent down to the small hole and said to the person on the other side, "Diana, my friend is here. If you feel uncomfortable, just let her know."

On the other side of the wall was the girl’s bed. She was curled up in pain, every organ in her body seemed twisted in knots.

She clutched the corner of her blanket, her slender shoulders trembling in pain. Sweat dripped down her forehead, landing on her beautiful yet pale face.

Despite her pallor, she was strikingly gorgeous.

If it wasn’t for the pain, her features could easily be described as breathtaking — a rare beauty to find.

The girl could hardly utter a complete word. Even the smallest sounds seemed to be squeezed out through gritted teeth.

Still, Rosemary could tell that she was young.

"She’s in a lot of pain. She can’t get up to greet you," Dennis turned to Rosemary and explained. "If you can, please help ease her pain when she’s not feeling well."

"Sure, I’ll do my best."

"I’ll be back soon." As Dennis was about to leave, he bent down again and said gently to the girl on the other side of the wall, "I’m leaving now, but I’ll be back soon. Just wait for me."

She had to wait.

At least, let him see her for one last time.

Rosemary saw the pain and reluctance in Dennis’s eyes. She reassured him, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her until you return."

"Thank you," Dennis looked at Rosemary gratefully.

That was the reason he sought out Rosemary. In that place, only she had the capability to help Diana at that crucial moment.

After Dennis left that place, Rosemary softly said to the girl on the other side of the wall, "Give me your hand, let me take a closer look."

Despite the pain, the girl extended her hand.

It was a slender and fair hand.

Rosemary felt her pulse, and after a while, she said, "Your condition is quite complex, but I’ll help you with the pain first."

The girl heard the sound of Rosemary opening her medical kit, and then the noise of a needle!

She quickly withdrew her hand, looking at Rosemary with caution and suspicion.

Rosemary was a bit surprised as she asked, "You recognized the sound of a needle?"

She had merely picked up the needle, and it had barely grazed another, but the girl had already identified the sound!

Indeed, that girl was not an ordinary girl.

"Acupuncture, for pain relief," Rosemary started sterilizing the needle again. "Can you smell the disinfectant?"

After hesitating for a while, the girl extended her hand again.

"Did Dennis tell you that he once saved my life?" Rosemary placed the needle at the tip of the girl’s finger, her voice steady. "I won’t harm you."

The girl was always cautious. Rosemary’s words did not make her let down her guard. Instead, she remained vigilant.

"Switch hands."

The girl extended her other hand.

After the acupuncture, Rosemary said, "The pain should lessen."

The girl was somewhat surprised. It seemed Dennis hadn’t lied to her. That woman, Rosemary, was indeed skilled in medicine.

"Left hand." Rosemary started to remove the needles, then after a while, she said, "Right hand."

The girl started to obediently follow her instructions.

"Does it hurt less now?"

"Much less." The girl on the bed didn’t expect Rosemary to be such a skilled doctor, and she gratefully said, "Thank you."

Just moments before, she was writhing in pain, feeling as though life was unbearable. If not for a dying wish, she would’ve already slammed her head against the wall.

"How much longer can my body hold up?"

She didn’t know if she could last until Dennis came back.

"It’s really hard to say," Rosemary said while packing up her acupuncture kit. "Your condition is indeed complicated, but not beyond help."

Upon hearing that, the girl’s eyes shone with hope. "Is that true?"

"Yes." Rosemary finished packing. Raising her beautiful eyes, she softly said, "But getting rid of it completely won’t be easy."

"Do you have a way?"

"I need to take a bit of your blood for testing," Rosemary explained. "There are many toxins in your body. To completely cure you, we need to use a variety of treatments. It won’t be a quick process — at least that’s for sure."

"What are your chances?"

"Seventy to eighty percent, perhaps."

The girl’s eyes widened in surprise. "That much?"

She had previously consulted countless renowned doctors who all said that she was beyond help — including the famous local physician, Mr. James Newton. He shook his head and admitted his inability to help.

However, he did recommend someone. He said that Dr. Bell might be able to help her out.

But Dr. Bell was elusive, with no one knowing his whereabouts for years. Until now, she had no luck locating him.

"So, can you save me?" The girl on the bed asked hopefully and anxiously, waiting for Rosemary’s answer.

Rosemary looked at her slender wrist and asked softly, "What’s your relationship with Dennis?"

"Sister," the girl answered honestly. "His real sister."

Rosemary was somewhat surprised; she had never heard that Dennis had a sister.

"Because of the sensitivity of our status, we’ve never mentioned it to outsiders. You’re the first one to know about our relationship," the girl explained.

Rosemary nodded. "Alright, I’ll do my best."

It was her way of repaying Dennis for saving her life.

"Thank you. Could you please call Dennis for me? Ask him to come back?"

If she could really survive, there would be no need to fulfill her dying wish immediately.

Once she recovered from her life-threatening illness, she could do it herself.

Rosemary took out her cell phone and dialed Dennis’s number. But it was switched off.

Hearing the cold automated voice, the girl felt guilty again. "Before, Dennis took me to many doctors. They all said my condition was complex and incurable. I thought I was done for."

So, when Dennis thought of Rosemary and the whole mountain of herbal medicine that she had managed, he wanted to take his sister to see Rosemary.

But the girl had already lost her will to live.

"Do you know? Every day, I live in pain. There are many times I’ve wanted to end it all, but I know that if I go, my brother will surely follow. We’re each other’s only family left."

"I can see that," Rosemary said softly. "He cares for you deeply. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have braved the storm to seek me out in the dead of night."

He even fought off her guards to get to her.

She needed to make him apologize and pay for that. She couldn’t let him off that easily.

"He braved the storm to find you?" The girl felt even more guilty. After a while, she asked, "Your voice sounds young. How come you’re such a skilled doctor?"

"It’s a skill passed down from my grandfather."

"Then this grandfather must be very impressive, and valued you a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taught you such a powerful skill."

As the girl said that, she started to feel a wave of pain again.
