Chapter 43

There‘s something Off With The Mood

Having gained her word, Andrius replied with a smile, “Since this is your answer, I‘m relieved. I‘ll
prepare the contract tomorrow. Then we‘ll just need to sign it.”

Rosalie nodded in agreement.

After discussing the compensation, Andrius personally escorted her to the door and watched her drive
away. Watching her car drive off, Andrius then turned back into the house and called Byron. “How‘s Old
Man Quirke?” Byron‘s voice rang out along with the sound of flowing water the moment the call
connected. Andrius smiled and answered, “He‘s awake. Dr. Jacobs is indeed quite skilled.”

Saying that, he recalled the strangeness between Byron and Rosalie just now and asked curiously,
“Byron, have you met Dr. Jacobs... before? I kept feeling that the atmosphere between you two to be
somewhat off, and I haven‘t seen you treat other women like that.” She was heckled earlier, and he
spoke up for her. At first, Andrius had actually thought that Rosalie was a fraud. Seeing Byron coming
forward to help her and even requesting Andrea to apologize to Rosalie, he was confused.

He vaguely sensed that the two had met before, but he could not guess just what their relationship
was.

Byron only answered the call because he was worried about Old Master Quirke’s body. When asked
this question, his expression sunk slightly. “I don‘t know her. If I had known her from before, I would‘ve
asked her to see Old Man Quirke.”

Before Andrius reacted to what the other had said, the call was already disconnected.

Andrius found things even more strange when Byron hung up the phone like that. Byron‘s tone was
very stiff just now. Did they really not know each other?



It was already late at night when Rosalie arrived home. Mary was accompanying the two little guys in
the living room, putting Lego pieces together. Seeing that Rosalie had returned, the three put down
their Legos and got up together to welcome her.

“Mommy!”

The little ones dove into her arms affectionately and asked worriedly, “Why did you come home so
late? We‘re so sleepy now.” With that, they closed their eyes and yawned.

Rosalie caressed their heads with a smile. “I‘m sorry to have kept you guys waiting so long.” Saing that,
she looked up and wanted to thank Mary. Mary could tell her intention and quickly waved her hand. “No
need to be so courteous with me. These two are my godsons! You‘re the one who came back so late.
Have you had dinner yet?”

Rosalie shook her head. “I was a little busy. I haven‘t had time to eat.”

She was busy treating Old Master Quirke and discussing the supply of medicinal materials with Andrius
just now that she did not even feel it.

Hearing her best friend mention it now, Rosalie then felt that she was a little hungry.

Mary looked at her helplessly, “I knew you‘d be like this when you were busy. We saved you some
dinner. Go and have some.” The two little guys also urged her to eat. Heart warmed, Rosalie was
pushed by two little guys to sit at the table where she simply ate something Mary accompanied her with
two little ones at the side. Seeing that she had more or less eaten, Mary said with concern, “You came
back so late today. Is the patient‘s condition very serious? How did it go?” Rosalie nodded with a smile.
“The patient‘s condition is quite serious, but I think I‘m confident I can cure him.” Not only that, but she
also successfully solved the research institute‘s medicinal materials supply problem. Thinking of this,
Rosalie was in a good mood.



Mary was convinced. “If you say you‘re confident, that means you‘ll definitely cure him. I believe in
you!“
