Chapter 505
“Then just pretend I’m not caring about you,” Rosalie said. She liad to use all her strength to lift Jonathan from the tiled floor in the bathroom. She then half-dragged him to the bedside and let him lie down.
Obviously, he was very uncomfortable at that moment. When he was on the bed, his body curled into the fetal position. His handsome face was slightly twisted due to pain, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably. His hands were pressing on his stomach all the time.
Rosalie suddenly remembered that she once, saw him having a gastric spasm. ‘Is he having a stomachache again today?
It’s not impossible if I think about it. After all, he seemed to drink a lot today, especially when he and Calvin began drinking… It looked like he drank on an empty stomach. I didn’t see them eat anything at that time. She recalled the scene.
“Do you have a stomachache?” she asked.
He pursed his thin lips without answering. However, he kept staring at her with his bright, captivating eyes.
“Do you want me to call Carlos and ask him to send you to the hospital?” she continued asking.
“No.” He said with difficulty, “You… Don’t you love me anymore? Aren’t you abandoning and despising me? Shan’t you be happy… when I’m in such pain now?”
“Happy?” Rosalie asked herself inwardly while looking at the man before her. At that moment, he looked pale and delicate. His handsome face showed an exquisite fragility.
But she didn’t feel any sort of glee when she saw him like that.
“Jonathan, I’m not you. Even if I don’t love someone and don’t want to be involved with him, or even if I hate someone, seeing him in pain doesn’t please me!” she stated. “If you don’t want me to call Carlos, I’ll go to a nearby pharmacy to buy some medicine for you! Stay here and wait for me.”
Upon announcing that, she took her keys and phone and hurried out of the rental home.
Once more, he was alone in the small rental home.
Jonathan closed his eyes again.
He wondered why he couldn’t feel any happiness when she said that. She went to buy him medicine simply because she had some sympathy for him in her heart.
‘My stomach is getting more and more painful!
Now it feels far worse than any previous pain. It’s worse when the pain is coupled with the discomfort of drinking too much. My entire body feels empty.
Who in the world would want me sincerely?’ In pain, Jonathan let his mind wander.
‘My mother doesn’t want me because I’m just a tool to bring her glory and wealth, and she could use me to raise her status. But once the puppet became useless, she readily abandoned me.
My father doesn’t want me, too. Even if he had some love for me in his heart, this paternal love for his son was too negligible compared to his love for my mother. Therefore, when Mother abandoned him completely, Father was disheartened and left this world, forgetting that he still had a child.
Grandpa’s the one who truly doesn’t want me. For him, I’m just an illegitimate ‘rascal’ carrying half of the Youngblood family’s bloodline in my body. Grandpa has never admitted my mother’s identity and legitimacy.
In Grandpa’s eyes, I’m just a tool to continue the bloodline of the Youngblood family. But since I’m somewhat useful as a tool, I can inherit the property and business of the Youngblood family.
And now… Rosie… Rosie also wants to abandon me!
Even if I trap her by my side as my sister, she doesn’t want me anymore!’ His thoughts came to a sobering conclusion. “She doesn’t love me anymore, so she doesn’t want me, too?” He murmured in a low voice. The pain in his body was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed like his stomach was not the only organ hurting. His heart and bones were aching, too. Every breath he took was painful.
“Rosie… Rosie…” he called inwardly.
He wondered why he could only think about her name, voice, face, and smile now, even when she was about to abandon
him.
He also wondered why he fell into such despair when he realized she didn’t love him and was about to leave him.
He was so desperate. He felt that he was drowning and losing his last hope of salvation.
“It hurts… It hurts so much that I can hardly breathel” Jonathan screamed inwardly.
The sound of the door opening reached him. Next, he heard footsteps and the sounds of someone picking up and placing
“Is she back? She went to buy medicine for me at midnight, just like the last time at the rental home,” Jonathan pondered.
Back at that time, when he opened his eyes and looked at her, he felt his heart throb for the first time.
Perhaps he had fallen in love with her since that moment.
“Come, take the medicine. You’ll feel better after taking it.” Rosalie’s voice sounded in his ear, and a hand helped him up.
Her scent filled his nostrils, and Jonathan slowly opened his eyes. Her delicate and tranquil face came into his sight.
