Chapter 57 It was no longer possible between them (1)
Rose came out of Lucy’s office, already having wasted half of the time.
But what really made her hesitate in front of the ward was a video she received on the way, sent by Mrs. Roach…
“Rose, I sent this to you, please delete it after you read it, and don’t tell anyone that you have seen it.”
Rose put on her headphones and clicked on the video.
The scene had not entered yet, but a familiar voice was heard.
“Rose…”
She hesitated for a moment, then instinctively flipped her phone over and placed it upside down on her lap.
The sound in the earphones, however, did not stop.
“Rose…” Judson gasped, as if he were on his deathbed, “Rose, come here…”
“… You come over, I won’t be mad at you anymore… Stop avoiding me, okay? I apologize to you…”
“After I died, everything in the Roach family will be yours… and everything of mine will also be yours… if you want to be with Darrin…”
Rose choked up when she heard his voice, “Just be with him….. but Rose, you need to learn to love yourself more… don’t be foolish again…”

“… You have to promise me, in the future, to spend more time with my mom… And from then on, every year, you come to see me once, without telling me how you and Darrin are doing, and without mentioning breaking up again… Rose, every time you mention breaking up, you’re pushing me towards death…”
***
Rose never turned her phone over from beginning to end.
She dared not look at the screen, afraid to see Judson’s face.
Afraid of seeing the tears in his eyes, afraid of seeing the pleading look in his eyes, afraid that I would soften at just one glance and give up all the previous efforts and struggles.
Did Mrs. Roach send this video to her because Judson’s condition had not been improving?
Perhaps he had no major physical injuries, but he might not have been in a good men tal state.
So, was Mrs. Roach pleading for her to go back and take care of him, begging for them to reconcile?
Mrs. Roach rarely cried. If she did cry, it meant that she had truly encountered a problem she couldn’t solve.
What should she do then?
***
Due to excessive contemplation, Rose actually missed her stop. When she finally arrived at the hospital, she was still hesitating whether or not to go in.
But when I was hesitating back and forth, Isidro saw me.

Isidro stood still for two seconds, then immediately ran towards the ward.
At that moment, Rose didn’t know whether she should call out to him or just turn around and leave.
She focused and criticized herself for being indecisive, and then told herself that since she had agreed to come over to Mrs. Roach’s, she shouldn’t think too much.
We will decide the next step after seeing Judson.
But at that moment, as she turned around, she unexpectedly saw Lillian.
“Ms. Edwards?” Lillian was dressed exquisitely, holding a food container in her hand. “What’s up? Are you here to see Judson?”
Without waiting for Rose’s response, she sneered, “Ms. Edwards, oh Ms. Edwards, I remember telling you last time that Judson and I are already together. If you had any decency at all, you should know how awkward it is to be an ex-girlfriend. You–”
She looked Rose up and down, her eyes filled with contempt. “You wouldn’t be thinking of using your parents’ favor towards the Edwards family to pressure Judson into getting back together with you, would you?”
Rose did not follow her words and step into the pit.
Back and forth, Lillian only had a few tricks up her sleeve, and she was already tired of them.
She chuckled, “Ms. Stewart, I heard that all the investment Sunny Summer Entertainment put into Hector went down the drain. With someone like you in the company, is it a guarantee that everyone will have to walk through fire?”

Lillian was indeed stepped on her sore foot, and she raised her voice, “What do you mean? Hector’s business has nothing to do with me! Rose, as a journalist, you speak without thinking, do you know what consequences there might be?”
“Is that so?”
Rose looked at Lillian calmly and casually.
“Ms. Stewart was really wronged. She didn’t do anything, but she was forced to apologize to me. Do you feel… very frustrated?”
“You…” Lillian’s blood pressure skyrocketed.
But in an instant, she held back her flushed face and swallowed all the
words.
Rose seemed to sense something and turned around.
Sure enough, Isidro had already arrived behind her.
“Ms. Edwards…” he glanced at Lillian first, then said to Rose, “Mr. Roach said he was very tired today and doesn’t want to see you for now.”
After Isidro reported that Rose had arrived, Judson frowned and stared at his phone for a while. Finally, he threw a sentence at Isidro, “Not now, I’m tired…”
***
He heard Isidro’s words.

Lillian burst into laughter, “Ha! Ms. Edwards, if I were you, I wouldn’t have come here to humiliate myself!”
Rose didn’t look at her, but calmly looked at Isidro. “How did you know that I came to see Judson? Did I just tell you that?”
Isidro: “Um…”
“Tameka called me over, where is she?”
Isidro felt like he had made another mistake.
He scratched his forehead and said, “Madam, it seems like she went to see your sister?”
“Like this,” Rose nodded and was about to leave.
“Ms. Edwards,” Lillian caught up and whispered in Rose’s ear, “Since Judson had an accident these past few days, I’ve been by his side. Our relationship… is going really well. If you have any dignity, stay away from my boyfriend!”
After saying these words, she immediately withdrew and strode towards Judson’s ward.
Rose walked to the corner and happened to see Isidro respectfully opening the door to Lillian’s sickroom.
She left expressionlessly, but in an instant, she laughed self- mockingly.
She hesitated and struggled before, not knowing whether she should turn back or not.
I was very tired, so I didn’t meet for a while.
Did Judson say this to save face for both sides?
After all, she was called by Mrs. Roach.
Not seeing her, but can open the door for Lillian.
Rose could tell herself not to believe those words from Lillian, but she saw it with her own eyes, so it couldn’t be fake.
How many more times?
She asked herself.
How many more times does she need to see before she can see the reality?
Did he hurt her and neglect her for Lillian, and were there few times in the past?
She had already decisively abandoned the past, but surprisingly, she felt regret because of the few words he said after the car accident.
Rose laughed at her own enduring innocence.
When people are not sober, they may reveal actions and words that do not reflect their true thoughts.
Mrs. Roach might have been genuine and hoped that they could be together again, so she pleaded for her to come over.
But Rose herself should have been aware.
Conscious of it,
They were no longer possible…
Rose took out her phone and deleted the video inside.
Fortunately, she didn’t take a few more glances at the scene just now, otherwise it would only add more heartache now.
“Mr. Roach,” Isidro opened the door, his face showing a hint of joy, “Ms. Stewart came to see you…”
Lillian actually came more than once in the past few days, but every time Mrs. Roach was there, she never had a chance to step into the
ward.
Now she finally got the information, Mrs. Roach left, so she seized the opportunity and hurried over.
Judson had his eyes closed, resting, but upon hearing the words, he opened his eyes and at the moment he saw Lillian, his eyes suddenly darkened.
“I just said I was very tired, didn’t you hear?”
