The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 48
“Jon,” she uttered. “I don’t know how long I will stay in the hospital. Call him and tell him not to wait for me.”
As Rosalie was speaking, she found the name “Jon” in her contacts and dialed the number.
Soon, Jonathan’s cold voice could be heard. “Rosie.”
“I have something to do. I’m afraid I’ll come back late today. You have to prepare dinner on your own,” Rosalie said.
“What do you mean you have something to do? Just tell him directly that you’re in the hospital now,” Lillian cut in.
“Rosie, you’re in the hospital now?” Jonathan’s tone seemed to change slightly.
“Well, I tripped and fell. I’m waiting for the screening tests in the hospital now,” Rosalie explained.
“Which hospital are you in? I’ll go over now,” said Jonathan.
“You don’t have to come over. I have Lillian with me here. Just wait for me at home,” she blurted.
The other end of the phone was silent. After a moment, the icy voice could be heard again. Jonathan still insisted on the previous
question. “Which hospital?”
“Central Hospital,” Rosalie replied while biting her lip slightly. She had lost her mother when she was a child, and the three years
in prison made her reluctant to trouble others no matter what happened.
If Lillian hadn’t been by her side today, she would have come to the hospital alone without telling anyone.
“I’m going over now,” Jonathan stated.
After ending the call, Jonathan called Carlos. “Check what has happened to Rosalie today.”
“Okay,” Carlos replied.
“Also, check which orthopedics doctor in Central Hospital has the best skills. Ask the doctor to go to the hospital now to check
her injury,” Jonathan continued.
“Okay,” Carlos replied again.

When the call was over, he stared at his phone blankly. “Mr. Youngblood really hasn’t fallen in love with Rosalie?” he wondered.
For Rosalie, he wanted to find out her whereabouts. He even wanted to look for the best orthopedics doctor for her.
There was a time when their car had passed through the area Rosalie was sweeping, and she was hit by an electric scooter.
However, Jonathan hadn’t minded her or done anything.
And now, Carlos had to put in considerable effort for such a woman. If one said that Jonathan had nothing to do with Rosalie,
Carlos wouldn’t believe it.
Thus, while Rosalie was waiting in line for the screening, a nurse suddenly appeared and took her to the VIP passage to carry
out the screening. Then, she took Rosalie to another consultation room. The orthopedics doctor wasn’t the one who had
previously treated Rosalie.
“I should go to see the previous doctor, right?” Rosalie said. After all, it’s common practice to go to the same doctor who had
prescribed her before the screening.
“Dr. Hoffman is relatively free,” the nurse said hurriedly.
The said doctor Matthew Hoffman smiled gently and uttered, “Yes. I’m relatively free.” The heavens knew that he was not free at
all. On the contrary, the director of the hospital had called Matthew and ordered him to rush to the hospital from home to check
on a patient.
The director even instructed Matthew to be extra careful and not make any mistakes.
Matthew thought the patient must be some big shot, so the director deliberately pressured him. However, the patient he was
facing now looked quite ordinary and there was nothing special about her. Even her clothes could be described as cheap.
Nonetheless, as a doctor, Matthew didn’t mind the status of his patients. As long as they were his patients, he would try his best
to cure them.
It was just because of the director’s instructions that he paid more attention to Rosalie.
At this moment, Jonathan entered the consultation room and came to Rosalie. He called out, “Rosie.”
“You’re here,” Rosalie replied. “He came faster than I expected,” she thought.

“Yes. There’s a traffic jam on the way, so it took me some time to get here,” Jonathan explained.
“Doctor, is my friend’s injury serious? She was tripped over on the escalator and tumbled down,” Lillian asked nervously.
“The fall today is not a serious problem. There are some slight bone cracks in the leg and ankle here. It will take a week or two to
recuperate. However...” Matthew hesitated for a moment.
“What is it?” Lillian asked closely.
“Ms. Leighton, did you often get injured during these few years?” Matthew asked.
Rosalie was stunned. She didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
“I don’t mean anything else. I just want to say that from your screening, it can be seen that you seem to have suffered a lot of
injuries in recent years. There were some old injuries that you may not have taken care of well at that time, so there might be
some after–effects.”
“After–effects?” Rosalie frowned. “But I normally don’t feel anything wrong with my body.”
“You are still young, so you won’t notice the after–effects for now. When you get older in the future, those after–effects will
appear gradually.”
“What are the after–effects?” Lillian was even more nervous than Rosalie.
“In the future, you may have arthritis. If it’s serious, you may not be able to lift heavy objects. It’s harmful to do such actions,”
Matthew clarified.
Rosalie was silent and looked down at her hands and feet. She had had all those injuries during her time in prison.
Even if she had been beaten until she had a bone fracture, the doctor could only treat it simply and bandage the wound. It had
not been easy to have peace for a moment, so there was no chance to recover at all.
“Well, are there any other methods to cure it?” Lillian asked nervously while trembling.
On the contrary, Rosalie seemed to be quieter compared to Lillian.

“Mainly, she still needs more rest. She should eat more food containing calcium. She should try not to use cold water as much as
possible when she’s taking a shower or doing household chores. Besides, the latest injury should be taken care of properly this
time. Don’t let it become like the old wounds before, eventually turning into hidden injuries,” Matthew explained.

After being prescribed some medicine, Lillian went to get it while Jonathan helped Rosalie sit on a rest chair outside the
consultation room. “Does it hurt?” Jonathan asked.
“It’s bearable, actually,” Rosalie said. “And the injury is not serious. The doctor said it’ll take only a week or two to recover.”
Jonathan pursed his thin lips and asked, “The old wounds that Dr. Hoffman mentioned. Were they the wounds you got when you
were in prison?”
Rosalie pretended to be relaxed and smiled. “I was just beaten several times in prison. It’s not that serious. These old wounds
will recover later if I take care of them well.”
The calmer Rosalie was, the gloomier Jonathan became.
“Rosie, do you hate the people who put you in prison?” he suddenly asked.
She couldn’t help but smile. “Who should I hate? Should I hate the judge? Or should I hate the Hamilton family who sued me? Or
the Xanthos family that wouldn’t help me? Or Jonathan Youngblood?”
