Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1101

Chapter 1101 Being Framed (2)

"I know you're not that kind of person," Elliot gently patted the woman's hand and continued her words, seeing Rose release her grip on his hand.

Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Elliot felt regret and self-blame. He gently touched Rose's hair. "Rose... it's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you. I know you wouldn't do those things, but..."

He didn't continue but sigh.

In fact, Elliot was very dissatisfied; even a hint of jealousy filled his heart.

When he saw Lawrence dancing intimately with Rose in the dance floor full of smiles, he had to try hard to restrain himself.

If it weren't for being angry at that time, he wouldn't have said those hurtful words to her.

But these thoughts were not something he wanted to admit or bring up.

Elliot took a dry towel and put it on Rose's forehead to cool down while finding fever-reducing medicine. He sat at the bedside, holding half a cup of warm water.

He helped her sit up against him and called out softly, "Rose, take your medicine first. Take good rest after taking your medicine."

This was a gentle side of him that had never appeared in front of Rose before, but unfortunately she couldn't see it while she was unconscious.

"Rose? You have a fever; take your medicine first before sleeping."

Elliot comforted Rose with a few words, successfully getting her to take the medicine. He helped her lie down and changed the damp cloth on her forehead several times. Thankfully, her fever began to subside in the middle of the night, and Elliot, sitting by her bedside, finally breathed a sigh of relief. His face also softened.

It is now 12:53 AM; Elliot had no sleepiness whatsoever as his gaze was somewhat dazedly staring at the person lying on the bed.

Rose, lying on the bed, appeared peaceful and delicate due to the subsided fever. Her features were serene and beautiful, with a hint of vulnerability brought on by her illness.

The usual Rose in front of him was lively and spirited. Despite often opposing him and even... disliking him, he had never really taken it to heart.

Elliot gazed at the sleeping woman, and he couldn't help but show a tender and doting expression, his gaze fixed on Rose and unable to move away. In a trance, he remembered the first time he had met her so long ago.

It had been in a dimly lit bar, with various lights flashing and illuminating the people inside. Elliot could never forget that moment when they first met.

At that time, Rose was still in college. Because of her family's financial situation, she had to work outside of school to pay for her tuition and living expenses. Through a recommendation from one of her senior classmates, she started working part-time at the most famous bar in town where the salary was high but came with various pressures and difficulties.

Rose had never been to a bar before and on her first day at work as a waitress serving drinks to private rooms, she encountered trouble. Once inside one room, she realized that all the men were middle-aged types accompanied by young women who had good figures and looks.

Several men made inappropriate moves towards Rose which made her feel uneasy. Before leaving the room, one overweight man grabbed Rose's hand just as she put down his drink bottle and pulled her into his arms.
