Chapter 7 An Exciting Future
Nota urged “Mrs. Shaw, nat it while it’s still warm
Mr. Show specifically had the kitchen prepare it for you.”
Peregrine paused briefly while turning the book page.
But soon, he seemed to think of something and continued reading calmly.
Rosalind suddenly smiled with the bowl in hand.
Nora, having been slapped in the morning, had a bad feeling at once.]]
Rosalind said, “Nora, you were just too worried about Peregrine this morning
1 shouldn’t have slapped you.”
Caught off guard. Nora was surprised

M–Mr Shaw, 1…
Rosalind interrupted her while handing over the bowl. “You may eat the soup. Consider it my apology. [
Nora immediately took a step back and waved her hand]
“Mrs. Shaw, this is unnecessary. I was wrong this morning and deserved that slap. You don’t have to apologize to me at all.“||
Rosalind frowned. Indeed feel guilty and want to apologize to you sincerely. Why wouldn’t you eat it? You don’t wanna forgive me!
Her voice wasn’t exactly loud, but it was chillingly cold
Nora’s heart skipped a beat as she hastily took over the bowl
Only then did Rosalind smile again.
“T” she said
Nora’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t stop trembling at all.]
“M Mrs. Shaw_“]
Rosalind previed on “You don’t wanna eat
Though the smile on her face was harmless, Nora felt a chill down her spine
Cornered, the could only eat the soup up!
Then she walked out of the room right away ||
Peregrine put down the book and asked. “Was there something wrong with the soup? ||
Instead of answering Rosalind commented, “I gotta look over my shoulder 24/7 living with you.

After a while, Arnold knocked on the door and reported in a low voice. “Mr. Shin, Mrs. Shaw, Nors went to the bathroom. It seems she’s vomating in there.

Then she
her tone a bit teasing. “Not for me. If I had eaten the soup. I’d probably be vomiting and having diarrhea now.”
After a pause, she couldn’t help but chuckle.[]
But you wouldn’t be this lucky. Since you’ve just come around, you’d be dead already.”
Peregrine and Amold exchanged a glance.]
They surely mouldn’t afford to let their guard down for even just a second
Those people who had put Peregrine in a vegetative state for three years were back again.
Arnold said. “Take Nora to the police.“]
Rosalind simply reminded him. They won’t find any toxins in this soup.”
Arnold fell silent, realizing going to the police wouldn’t help
Heregrine’s expression darkened, and even the air around him froze.
Arnold immediately said. “113 go and find out who she works for.
Peregrine’s silence was the same as approval
Arnold knew he shouldn’t spook Nura
Keeping her around would be easier for them to find out the truth.]

If they kicked her away, the person behind her would send someone
Rosalind smiled again.
She thought, “is turns out the drama here is far more interesting than that of the Aster family.

over to the desk, and reached out.
“I got check you over,” she said naturally
Then she teased, “Since your enemy has infiltrated your villa, who’s to say you weren’t already set up at the Shaw’s place?”
Peregrine grined his teeth, irritated by her taunt
After a few seconds of dierking him over, she said, “You should learn to control your temper. Getting worked up won’t do you any good.
Peregrine said nothing, feeling even more enraged by her words
Suddenly, she frowned, pulling a long face ||

You’ve got an exciting future waiting you,” she remarked

The corner of Peregrine’s mouth twitched slightly.
He thought, “Exciting
“We’re probably not on the same page about this word.“||
Just then, Arnold came back
Mr. Shaw, Mr. Jallan sent someone here to take Mr. Shaw back.“||
Again
Peregrine’s indifferent gaze fell upon Rosalind.|||
There must be a reason why pilian was so eager to get her back.
But she remained unfazed.
Arnold, call the police and report a break–in. Do I really need to teach you this?
Arnold was dumbfounded, thinking. “Seriously? Call the police to arrest your brother?”
What surprised him even more was that Peregrine said. To as she says. Amold.-]
Arnold left the room in silence.
Rosalind then ale two apples[
After she was stuffed, she felt sleepy.
So, she lay in bed for a nap |
After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Peregrine.
“t suggest you get some sleep now. You probably won’t get to sleep tonight.”
Bu Peregrine didn’t believe her||
He continued reading with great relish ||
She shrugged, thinking, Teel free not to take my advice. You’ll soon regret it“]
Rosalind woke up as the sky darkened.]]
Nora brought food again. This time, it wasn’t poisonous[]
Peregrine and Rosalind sat opposite each other ||
Having just woken up from the coena, Peregrine ale slowly
Rosalind, however, was practically gobbling||
Arnold knocked on the door just as she said, “Tan full–||
He pushed open die door slightly ||
“The afraid I have bad news. Mr. Casplan suddenly vomited blood and passed out. Everyone is freaking out
Peregrine’s expression darkened immediately []
Rosalind clapped her hands and put two slices of bread into a bag. “Let’s go.“||
Peregrine said nothing, feeling that she was more anxious than him
She seemed to know what he was thinking.
She said. “I didn’t sleep well at noon. Lets get this over with. I gotta go back to the Aster’s villa tomorrow.”
Arnold outside the door was stunned
He thought, “Dora Mrs. Shaw know what she’s talking about?||
“Mr. Casplan was dedared brain–dead, and the doctors gave up on him.]
Though he came around this morning, it was just probably a final rally because he had heard about Mr. Peregrine’s marriage.
But now, he’s vomited blood and unconscious. He may not make it this time.
If he really
Then they have to stay at the Shaw’s place to discuss the funeral ”
Rosalind wheeled Peregrine out before Arnold could say anything
He could only swallow his words back.
Soon they went back to the Shaw’s place.
It was already packed with people.]]
The moment they showed up, they attracted everyone’s attention.]
Ignoring them, Rosalind walked to Caspian’s room.
Janella’s impatient voice rang out from inside
“Sy back! I’m trying to save him here]

Janelle found the voice familiar.
Almost instinctively, she stopped and turned around.
Under the light, Rosalind was looking at her.
Rosalind’s smooth, long hair cascaded over her shoulders, accentuating her stunningly pretty face.||
Parting her rosy lips, she said. “But Mr. Caspian won’t last ten minutes if you keep saving him in this way.”
Janelle was utterly irked by Rosalind’s words.
She glared at Rosalind, her eyes filled with resentment and coldness.]
Then she spat, her voice utterly icy. “You don’t know anything. Stop blabbering!
“Be careful with what you say
Yamilet stood at the door. The second her gaze fell upon Rosalind, her pupils shrank abruptly.
Terry, why did you bring her here?“]
Hearing the commotion, Martin Dixon walked out.]
He was a world–renowned figure in the medical world and also the one who handled Peregrine’s cane.||
He had been invited over to help with Caspian’s critical condition.[]
Knowing that Feregrine was no longer a vegetable, he had figured it was his treatment that had helped. Rosalind had nothing to do with it at all]
He pulled a long fare as he saw Rosalind, thinking, “I bet she’s at most twenty years old.]

Rosalind didn’t even glance at Martin:||
She thought. They’re so nohy. How annoying(“||
Not being able to hold back, she shopped, “If you don’t wanna see Mr. Casplan dead, let me get on with the surgery. Or get ready for his funeral“]
