Rose was shocked.
In that moment, even though she knew it couldn’t be true, she still rushed forward and hugged Mrs. Brown’s shoulders.
Ask her, “Do you know me? You say you are my mother?”
Mrs. Brown hugged her and cried, “Rose, we haven’t seen each other for thirteen years. Rose, have you been doing well all these years?”
She cried and poured out her yearning and suffering over these years to her.
For a moment, Rose almost believed her words.
Because of her tears, her emotions couldn’t be faked at all.
Until… Maverick came over.
He had a black face and was about to drive Rose away immediately.
Mrs. Brown held onto her tightly and asked Maverick, “Maverick, look, this is Rose!”
Maverick stood still in place.
“What, what did you call me?”
Mrs. Brown had been sick for over a decade.
At first, the couple secretly sought treatment everywhere. However, later on, Mrs. Brown’s condition deteriorated rapidly. She would sometimes fail to recognize people and even ended up injuring

Maverick several times.
The doctor suggested that Maverick take her to a men tal hospital. however, after inspecting the environment of those places, Maverick gave up.
They were a young couple, deeply in love for many years. Maverick was not at ease with the environment and people in those places,
Mrs. Brown knew that her illness would have an impact on her husband’s reputation, and she had also proposed divorce, which was rejected by Maverick.
When she was awake, she told him that she hoped to recuperate in a traditional courtyard. If she fell ill, Maverick would lock her up to prevent her from harming herself and others.
Maverick knew that she was strong-willed and would rather die than let anyone know she had a men tal illness.
He concealed everything and took care of his wife attentively, but ten years ago he was almost exposed by a journalist when Mrs. Brown fell ill.
From then on, he refused to accept any interviews.
When Rose entered the room, she found that the floor and walls were covered with soft padding, and the iron chains were actually quite long, allowing Mrs. Brown to move freely around the house.
But Mrs. Brown, who was suffering from an illness, still managed to make a mess of herself.
In the past two years, she had completely lost recognition of Maverick. Whenever he approached, she would curse him madly, kick over the meals he brought, and tear apart everything in the room that could be
torn.

She held Rose excitedly and said, “Do you remember Rose? It’s Rose… I told you, we are going to adopt her!”
Maverick remembered…
“You were…”
He never expected that he would encounter the little girl from thirteen years ago here.
At that time, the lady’s men tal illness had become quite severe. She concealed her identity and went to a men tal sanatorium for
recuperation, where she unexpectedly befriended the little girl who had developed aphasia.
Maverick heard that the girl had been severely traumatized by the death of her parents, rendering her unable to speak and also losing her cognitive abilities.
The couple’s daughter died accidentally when she was young.
Afterwards, Mrs. Brown had several miscarriages until she could no longer conceive.
This became her heartache, and the long-standing illness worsened.
Upon encountering little Rose, I heard that she had lost her home, so I had the idea of adopting her.
During that time, Mrs. Brown’s men tal state visibly improved. She would take time out every day to visit Rose, talk to her, teach her to call herself “mom,” and watch as a glimmer of light gradually ignited in her eyes.
A miracle happened…

With Mrs. Brown’s daily companionship, Rose suddenly looked at her one day and spoke crisply, “Mom–”
Mrs. Brown was overjoyed.

She immediately asked Maverick to handle the adoption procedures and was planning to continue building a relationship with Rose.
Rose disappeared…
Mrs. Brown became furious and fell ill that same evening.
Maverick quickly went to check the girl’s information and found that the name column only had the word “Rose”.
Rose should have been adopted a long time ago. Now that her condition has improved, she was immediately taken away…
Just didn’t expect that other families, like them, also didn’t want outsiders to know about their hidden illnesses!
Maverick persuaded Mrs. Brown, “Maybe it wasn’t meant to be, shall we adopt another one in the future?”
Mrs. Brown cried, “She called me mom already, how could it be that fate hasn’t arrived yet? I don’t want to adopt someone else, I only want Rose.”
She got stuck in a dilemma and couldn’t get out.
Every day, he wandered through the streets and alleys of Elland City, searching in one neighborhood after another, investigating in one school after another, determined to find his Rose.
Until one day, she fell ill in the shopping mall and tried to sn atch someone else’s child, which frightened the girl’s family and they called the police.

Maverick tried to adopt a child.
However, when the child was brought over, Mrs. Brown’s condition worsened instead. If the girl was of a similar age to Rose, she would delusionally believe that the child was a ba stard born from Maverick and another woman. If the girl was even younger, she would even make gestures of throwing and slamming the child.
Later, she locked the courtyard gate and intended to commit suicide.
The person was saved, but completely ruined…..
She never walked out of the backyard again.
***
During this period, Rose would finish work in the early morning and decline Darrin’s car. She would take one more stop on her own and then get off at a secluded alley where the Brown family’s nanny car was parked.
Mrs. Brown was in the car, she would wait for her no matter how late
it was.
She personally cooked soup for Rose and made sure to watch her finish it.
Then I took her home and, by the way, handed her the breakfast for the next day.
In addition, she was constantly texting Rose throughout the day.
Have you eaten?
Was the work tiring?
What time did you get off work?
What did you want to eat for supper and tomorrow morning?

No biological mother could be as enthusiastic as Mrs. Brown!
Mrs. Roach was considered good to her, but not even one-tenth as good as Mrs. Brown,
Rose’s response was very genuine.
Not tired, just going downstairs to get some milk tea.
Not tired, strolling in the shopping mall, buying stockings.
Not tired, just check for typos in the manuscript every day…
***
Until today, the incident of changing manuscripts erupted.
Maverick told Mrs. Brown that someone in the company bullied Rose and that Rose needed her help.
Mrs. Brown hadn’t seen anyone for ten years and she was a bit scared.
But for the sake of her Rose, she had to be strong!
She dyed her hair, had a beauty treatment, put on makeup, wore a new cheongsam, and came to Flourish Media with Maverick.

“This whole situation is really thanks to Rose,” Maverick also pushed Rose towards Mr. Carroll, “Madam indeed suffered from depression and disliked meeting people. Although this incident is a rumor, it will still have a great impact on her reputation and cause her significant psychological burden. Rose risked being fired and went to the printing factory overnight to change the layout. She is brave and resourceful, truly commendable!”
Maverick was sincere.
Madam’s illness seemed to be improving, but just as she was about to recover, a secret that had been hidden for ten years was exposed. Given her personality, she would likely be greatly shocked and her condition would worsen again.
Charles knew that both important guests had spoken, and he had to reward Rose this time.
He also knew that Lucy was a bit unfair.
He had the basic sharp intuition as a media professional.
Although Mrs. Brown appeared normal at first glance, her constant nervousness, excessive attention towards Rose, and occasional strange looks were all indicating to him that she might actually have a men tal illness.
But at this point, Flourish Media dared not come out to expose someone’s scars.
Charles felt a little regretful about losing such an exclusive and sensational news.

If Lucy succeeded, Flourish Media would have faced pressure from Maverick and Mr. Lott. However, in that case, they could have just fired Lucy and issued an apology statement.
Flourish Media has gained popularity and earned face, leaving Orange Media far behind…
Ah…
After seeing off Maverick and Mr. Lott, Charles decided to keep Rose behind.
“Rose, over the years, how have you been in the Roach family?”
Rose was the first time meeting Darrin’s father in her memory, but inexplicably, she didn’t quite like him.
She nodded, “Very well, Mr. Carroll.”
“Call me Charles, just like you used to when we were kids,” Charles said with a peaceful expression. “Seeing you reminds me of your mother, who was also fearless and determined back then. By the way, you’ve achieved great success this time. What reward do you want? How about promoting you to be the editor-in-chief?”
“I don’t need any rewards, it’s just what I should do,” Rose declined, “but, if I may say something out of line… Can I nominate my editor, Lakisha, for a promotion? She’s truly amazing.”
“Sure.” Charles readily agreed. As a small department supervisor, even the girl from the Sawyer family could do it, so who couldn’t?
“Darrin, go and make arrangements over there.”
So, Rose returned to the office area and dashed towards Lakisha, embracing her shoulders for the first time.
“Lakisha, what did I say before I went to the printing factory?”
Lakisha pretended to be clueless and asked, “What did you say?”
The people in the department exclaimed, “Lakisha! No, director! You got promoted!”
The personnel department issued new job promotion transfer orders.
Lakisha, due to her outstanding performance at work, was officially appointed as the director of the entertainment department.
And Rose…..
“Rose!” Lakisha slapped her back. “Ms. Edwards, well done!”
Rose took over Lakisha’s position and proved to be a competent editor!
