My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Rosa immediately looked up and, upon seeing Joe, let out a sigh of relief.

"Ned, you're finally here. I was so scared doing all those tests alone."

"What did the doctor say?" Joe asked.

"We're waiting on one test result. If all is well, I'll be in surgery this afternoon," Rosa replied quickly.

Joe simply nodded.

Seeing his somewhat distant expression, Rosa felt anxious. She couldn't help but ask, "Yesterday, you said you had something to tell me after my surgery. Could you tell me now?"

"After the surgery," Joe replied directly.

Rosa's heart skipped a beat. "Could you give me a hint? I'm curious. Are we getting married right after my surgery?"

She looked intently at him as she tested the waters with her question.

Joe frowned slightly before saying, "Focus on your surgery. We'll discuss everything after that."

His firm tone made her feel cold. It wasn't about their marriage. His reaction had shown that he hadn't even considered it.

"Ned, be honest with me. Is there someone else? I'm about to undergo surgery, and I need the truth. Don't lie to me," Rosa asked nervously.

Joe's expression turned cold, his gaze steely. "You need to stay calm."

Without another word, he turned and walked out of the room.

Rosa didn't even have the chance to call him back as she watched him leave so resolutely. She was in a daze, as if she was in a dream. She had a strong, unsettling feeling that he had serious doubts about his identity, or perhaps he was already convinced that he wasn't Ned.

Calvin entered the room as Rosa's mind raced.

"Ms. Reese, Mr. Sowle has some business to attend to and will return in about an hour. He asked me to stay with you, so if you need anything, please let me know. I'll do my best to assist you."

Rosa bit her lip as she looked at Calvin, her eyes glistening with tears. "You work with him every day. So, you'd know best if he's actually busy or if he just doesn't want to be here with me. Does he hate being with me this much?"

She only wanted to know what he intended to say. What was wrong with that? Did he really have to avoid her?

Calvin couldn't answer her question. He felt that only Joe could answer that.

Fortunately, she didn't press further. So, Calvin breathed a sigh of relief.

Right on time, an hour later, Ned returned to the room. The nurses had just started to prepare Rosa for her surgery.

Rosa looked genuinely scared when she was about to be pushed into surgery.

"Ned, I'll see you after the surgery, right? You'll be waiting outside for me, right?"This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I will. Don't worry, everything will be fine," Joe replied.

Rosa looked into his eyes, looking for something. But there wasn't even the slightest hint of concern in them.

It had been three years, but he still didn't have any feelings for her.
