?Chapter 696:


    Rosalee was unusually calm. She didn’t pretend to be the meek girl, as she usually did, and this surprised Hans a lot. In the past, Rosalee had always been too cutesy, which made him never actually like her. But of course, he never openly expressed his dislike for her.


    After all, they both got what they needed from the rtionship, and that was what mattered. Hans needed a famous and obedient girlfriend, and Rosalee yed that role well. They had easily reached an agreement, signed a contract, and pretended to be a couple from then on.


    It hadn’t been as easy as it seemed, but everything went ording to n. It had been a while since their fake rtionship started, but Hans had never seen Rosalee act like this before. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.


    “About your face… If you need my help, don’t hesitate to tell me.”


    Since the anesthesia had begun to wear off, the stitches on her face made her feel like there were several ants biting it, causing her intense pain.


    Hearing this, Rosalee let out a bitter smile, while her eyes were filled with hatred. This sight made Hans feel like his chest was being pierced repeatedly. At this moment, he might not be able to see her beautiful face, but he could perceive the unyielding strength in her soul. He knew it might be unwarranted, so he coughed to hide his urge tofort Rosalee.


    “Anyway, is Norah Wilson working here at Concord Hospital?”


    “Yes, she was the one who treated my wound.”


    Your new favorite is gα?ησν????s?c?m


    “I see. Should we go now? I’ll drive you home.”


    At that moment, several paparazzi were already swarming the hospital entrance, and Rosalee’s assistant had yet to arrive. Hans felt it was his responsibility to take her home. Out of nowhere, he reached out and held Rosalee’s hand. This was likely the first time he had shown such genuine tenderness toward her.


    Of course, Rosalee was well aware of this. Feeling the gentle warmth of his hand, she had mixed feelings. She had longed for this moment for so long, but now that it finally happened, it seemed to matter less than she had imagined.


    Rosalee was a public figure, so it didn’t take long before news of her injury went viral. Photos of her wound flooded major entertainment websites. The paparazzi, always eager for thetest scoop, swarmed the hospital, waiting for a chance to get worthwhile material.


    However, given that it was a hospital, such a serious disturbance was uneptable. Eventually, the hospital’s security team intervened, and only then did the situatione under control.


    Despite themotion outside, Norah remained unaffected andposed as she stayed in the emergency department office. She wasn’t sure how Rosalee was doing after the treatment and wondered if she would return for the scheduled follow-up checkup next week.


    Norah hadn’t expected to interact with Dolores again, but to her surprise, she suddenly saw her in the hospital. Dolores was wearing a ck dress, her long hair styled in a centipede braid, with delicate makeup. She was apanied by several middle-aged men and women, suggesting they were all together.
