Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 12

Splendid Town.

When Rose received a sudden call from Grand Asia Hospital, she immediately feared that the hospital was going to refuse to treat her seriously ill mother.

"Miss Rose, we're pleased to inform you that the admission application that you’ve submitted to our hospital yesterday has been accepted. Due to the special nature of your mother's case, the hospital made an exception for her and allowed her to be hospitalized in Grand Asia Hospital. We have already transferred the patient to the hospital in advance.

Please pay the hospitalization fee of three hundred thousand yuan within twenty-four hours."

Rose was dumbstruck.

When she went to Grand Asia to submit her mother's application for admission yesterday, she was rejected by the staff for various incomprehensible reasons. However, Grand Asia then miraculously transferred her mother to their hospital the day itself without notifying her. 3

There could only be one explanation-Jay had gotten involved. Rose instantly shot at the caller angrily," Who gave you permission to transfer my mother to the hospital without authorization? You had better return my mother back to where she transferred from. Otherwise, I will sue."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the other end of the call, "Oh, Rose..."

The familiar adrenaline-surging voice that contained a n air of superiority immediately made all the hairs on Rose’s body stand straight up. However, she mustered the courage to reply.

"da... Ja... Sir Ares..."

Jay frowned and said coolly, "Grandpa? I'm not that much older than you."

Rose was taken aback and choked violently. She was just trying to get on his good side. 'Obviously, that’s not what I meant!'

It was true that he was not much older than her. 1

"Why, someone told me that you're going to sue me?" Jay’s haughty voice had an air of indifference that made him sound even more mesmerizing.

"What great timing. I've been meaning to confront you about the matter five years ago before we go to court.

The incident five years ago? The incident where she raped him during the end of their marriage?

'If the thing gets blown up, what good would it do for him?' Rose thought. 'I'm not scared!'

"I’d be honored to be able to see you in court, Sir Ares," she sniffed. "I'll have to thank you for having my name make all sorts of headlines when the time comes!"

It took Rose a lot of courage to retort with those words.

After toughening up and giving it to him, she heard Jay's stony voice saying, "How shameless."

Rose answered sarcastically, "What about using my mother as leverage? Isn't that shameless as well?"

"Rose, it seems like I'm getting to know the real you better now. What sharp wit you have. Aren’t you afraid that your words may cause more harm to your mother? " Jay had always been a natural hunter. When he had his prey in his clutches, he made sure to prod their weak spots until they fell onto their knees.

It only took a split second for Rose to change from her gallant and spirited self to the old oppressed Rose. ' Hmph! Damn you, Jay! I knew you'd threaten me with her, you lowlife!’ Rose’s mind slandered him but her mouth opened to form a plea for mercy. "My bad, Sir Ares." 3

"You’re asking for forgiveness now?" Jay's thin lips twitched upward. "You really are something!"

Rose pretended to be not affected and smiled. "As long as you let go of my mother, I'll obey you to the word. I'll do whatever you say."

Jay's lips twitched into a ferocious sneer. He wondered why he had never realized what a good actress she was before.

"Rose, I'll be waiting for you at the Grand Asia Hospital to discuss your mother's treatment. If I don't see you within 30 minutes, your mother may be treated by an intern. Sorry about that." With those words, he hung u

Rose wept silently as she looked at the phone.

She had only just escaped Jay's evil lair yesterday but then she had to walk into his claws again on her own accord.

‘If I don’t go, will Mom be in danger?

'Mom has late-stage uremia. The specialists are already having a hard time treating her. If she was handed over to the interns, she’d be dead in minutes?’

"Ugh!" Rose sighed heavily.

"Ugh..."

After the nth sigh...

Zetty and Robbie were discussing in whispers in the corner. Zetty asked Robbie, "Why is Mommy sighing?"

Robbie cleared his throat and said wisely, "Maybe she's going through menopause. A few of my classmates' moms acted like that when they were going through menopause. They’re sighing all day. From the moment they wake up, they'll either scold their husbands or their sons. Other than that, they just sigh. Since our mommy doesn't have a husband to scold and we're such good kids, the only thing left for her to do is sigh."

Zetty felt bad for her mommy. She put down the toy model in her hand and walked over to her mother and gently held her head. She said sweetly, "Mommy, I'll find a husband for you so that you'll be able to scold

him when you're in a bad mood."

Rose was at a loss for words. 'What kind of logic is that?'

"Mommy’s not in a bad mood. Mommy just needs to go to the hospital to fight some monsters with your grandma. You two be good and stay at home..." Rose squeezed Zetty’s baby face. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

When Robbie heard the hospital mentioned, he knocked over the wooden toy blocks and his stubby legs ran quickly into the house to grab a weapon.

"Mommy, if that bad man from yesterday bullies you again, you should spray his eyes with this." Robbie held in his hand a cosmetic bottle with a nozzle that was clearly not a skincare product.

"What's this?"

"Enhanced pepper spray," Robbie said mysteriously. "I f you use this, I won't have to worry about you bumping into that bad man again!"

Rose placed the pepper spray into her handbag. Since Jay already knew that she faked her own death, she did not bother with a disguise.

She dressed like her usual self when she exited the house, wearing her favorite white shirt and green fitted skirt, wavy maroon hair spilling over her shoulders. She put on light makeup and high heels.

As soon as Rose took a step out of the door, Robbie and Zetty leaned on the window and watched as their

mother walked away.

"Why did Mommy dress up so nicely today?" There was doubt in Robbie's dark, shiny pupils.

Zetty huffed innocently, "This is something out of your expertise. Mommy must be planning to use her beauty as a weapon!"

Robbie rolled his eyes. "As long as that doesn't backfire on her," he mumbled.

Zetty was excited, "Are we going to have a daddy soon?

Robbie fell silent with his mouth agape.

Grand Asia Hospital.

Jay sat in the president's office and looked at his watch. It had been more than half an hour. In fact, forty minutes had passed...

Did that accursed woman chicken out? 1

Was her promise on her phone just empty words.

His tall, lean body stood up. "Grayson, get my car," he barked.

Grayson was stunned. "Mr. Ares, aren’t we waiting for Rose?"

"You actually think she has the nerve?" Jay spat incredulously.
