Calvin immediately looked at Joe.
Joe was the first to speak. "What made you consider ending your life?"
Hearing this, Rosa turned her gaze toward Joe but said nothing. Her tears began to spill over, each drop seemingly carrying the weight of her countless unspoken grievances.
It was a long moment before Rosa finally spoke. "There's no meaning left in my life. I don't want to be a burden to you, so my death would be better for everyone.
"You shouldn't have had the doctors save me. Without me, you'd probably be a lot happier. Go on and chase after your so-called true love."
After saying this, she closed her eyes as if she had no more to say.
Joe's brows knitted even tighter. "You're not a burden to anyone."
Rosa remained silent, her hands clenched tightly under the covers. She screamed internally, "Not a burden? Then why won't you marry me? Why did you break up with me?"
After a few minutes, Joe instructed Calvin, "Have someone stay here to keep watch."
"Understood, Mr. Sowle. Don't worry, I'll take care of things here," Calvin replied immediately.
When Joe stepped out of the ward, Rosa opened her eyes again. Her desolation had turned into fury. She had come to this, and he could still leave.
It seemed three years of companionship really meant nothing to him. Rosa wondered how he could be so heartless.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she suddenly sat up.
"Ms. Reese, please, you just had surgery! Your wrist injury has just been stitched up. Please, you shouldn't move," Clavin exclaimed, startled by her sudden movement.
Seeing her bloodshot eyes, Calvin quickly added, "Mr. Sowle only stepped out for a moment and will return shortly. If you have something to say, you can wait until he's back. Please, don't hurt yourself out of anger."

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
