Chapter 192 Unable to Fall Asleep for a Long Time
After Rosalie finished drinking the chicken soup, Byron silently went over to help her adjust her bed.After clearing the bowl, he returned once again.
Silence fell between them. Rosalie had slept all day and therefore could not fall asleep anymore.Nonetheless, she still closed her eyes, not wanting to interact with Byron.
On the other hand, Byron was exhausted after a busy day. After sitting back down, he closed his eyesand fell into a light sleep.
The sound of even breathing could be heard in the silent ward.
Rosalie slowly opened her eyes and glanced in Byron‘s direction.
The man‘s suit jacket was draped over her blanket as he himself wore only a thin dress shirt; his armsfolded over his chest. It did not seem like he was having the most peaceful of slumbers.
After deliberating for a moment, Rosalie cautiously stood up, took Byron‘s jacket, walked over to him,and lightly draped it over his front. As she was standing back up, Rosalie caught sight of the man‘shandsome face, and she felt a rush of mixed emotions.
It was still the same face as six years ago, but looking at it right now, she no longer felt the sameinfatuation as she did back then.
How the owner of this face saw her, she no longer wanted to know either. Currently, all she hoped forwas to live a good life with her two boys. At this thought, Rosalie nibbled on her lower lip in relief, thenwalked over to turn off the lights in the ward and went back to bed. Her eyes were shut, but herthoughts were running through her head, and she was unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Byron was a very light sleeper, and he woke up the moment there was the sound of movement fromthe hospital bed. However, he never opened his eyes, not even when he heard Rosalie‘s footstepsseemingly heading in his direction.novelbin
After a while, the woman‘s footsteps stopped in front of him, and the light fragrance wafting from thewoman‘s body lingered in his nose.
Byron‘s breathing became labored for a moment, but when he felt the woman‘s gaze was on his face,he kept up his act.
It was not until he heard another movement from the hospital bed that he slowly opened his eyes andlooked at the person laying on the bed, a profound look in his eyes.
Neither of them slept well all night.
Early the next morning, Rosalie was awakened by the ruckus at the entrance of her ward.
“The children were worried about Miss Jacobs, and they kept badgering me to bring them here to visither first thing in the morning,” Lisa explained helplessly.
Her words were followed by Lucian‘s worried voice. “How‘s Mommy? Is she still sleeping?
In a low voice, Byron replied, “Yeah, so let‘s visit her later.”
He did not get much sleep the previous night, and he woke up as soon as the kids had arrived in themorning. Seeing that the person on the hospital bed was still asleep, he got up to stop the kids fromentering, closing the door along the way.
Seeing the slightly haggard look on the man‘s face, Lucian furrowed his little eyebrows and cooperatedcompliantly. Beside him, Nox anxiously clawed at the crack of the door, trying to see Mommy‘s
condition, but his face fell when he was unable to see anything. Estie‘s hand was being held by Lisa asshe stared at the door of the ward with large eyes. She was very worried about the pretty auntie.However, when he heard Daddy say that Auntie was still sleeping, she stood outside quietly withoutmaking a sound.

As they stared at each other, Rosalie could not help but be taken aback Just as she was dithering overhow to react, the man had withdrawn his gaze, then lowered his eyes to the kids in front of him andsolemnly said, “You can go in now.”
As he said that, he turned around and opened the door of the ward. When the kids caught sight ofRosalie who was already half–sitting inside the ward, their eyes brightened, and they scrambled in oneafter another.
