Chapter 370 William and Xiao Xiao Cross Paths, Key Clue Uncovered
Annie spoke in a stuttering manner, but Rosalie just thought she had a slight stammer.
She inexplicably liked this girl.
This child reminded her of her own daughter who she had left with William.
In the years she had been disguised as "Caitlin", she no longer actively paid attention to anything related to the William family. She only vaguely heard from her colleagues' gossip that William's daughter was named "Anne".
Much of the news, even her colleagues didn't know - Anne was still young, and the William family felt that she was not suitable for excessive exposure to the public, so a lot of information was hidden.
This, on the contrary, put Rosalie at case.
Because of the actions of the William family, they were protecting Anne, so that even if Anne was not by her mother's side, she could still live well.
Even if she didn't know what Annie looked like now.
Phew.
A gust of autumn wind blew, pulling Rosalie back to reality.
The white butterfly also flew away.
"What's your name?" Rosalie, feeling a bit cold, tightened the hospital gown around her.
"An...An..." Anne spoke, struggling and anxious.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"An? What a unique name. Where is your family?" Rosalie understood Annie's meaning and asked another question.
Annoyed, Annie gave up speaking and turned around to point upstairs.
The meaning is, her father was making a call upstairs.
"Which floor exactly? Let me take you back," Rosalie stood up.
Upon hearing that Rosalie was going to send her back, Annie panicked.
She didn't want to leave.
She wanted to stay a little longer by her aunt's side!
So, she tightly closed her mouth, said nothing, made no gestures, her eyes moist, on the verge of tears.
"This... don't cry, okay? Did you forget which floor your family is on? It's okay, I'll take you to the hospital front desk to check in."
"If your family asks the front desk if they have seen you, the front desk will tell them you are with me," Rosalie took the initiative to hold Annie's hand and went to the front desk to register.
Anne really enjoyed the feeling of being led by Rosalie, she didn't resist and was very obedient. Years of autism had made her habitually silent throughout.
Thinking that she was afraid of strangers, Rosalie came to the corridor with Annie, squatted in front of her, looked at her at eye level, and spoke in a gentle tone:
"My son, Ian, is about your age. However, he and his godmother went to the supermarket to buy some things. When they come back, you can play with lan."
Anne obediently nodded.
Rosalie chuckled, about to say something else, when a hurried footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a strange yet familiar male voice:
"Anne!"
Anne!
It was actually Anne!
This male voice that she would never forget, surprisingly called out, "Annie!"
The woman's intuition caused Rosalie's face to change drastically, her body stiffened. goosebumps sprang up all over her, as if even her blood was flowing backwards, whistling past her cars.
Something was snarling and clawing, trying to break free from the imprisonment of the heart.
"Annie, how could you run around while Dad was on the phone!" William came over to the crouching Rosalic, looking into Annie's red eyes, with both blame and worry.
Anne looked at Rosalic, without saying a word.
"Miss Caitlin, thank you for taking care of my daughter. The Williams family owes you a favor. If you ever need help in the future, don't hesitate to ask." William was truly grateful.
The heartbeat of Rosalie was getting faster and faster.
William.
She had been hiding from the devil for seven years!
Anne.
Her daughter!
Why did fate suddenly play such a big joke on her!
She wondered again, how to handle such a situation!
"Miss Kaitlyn?" Seeing that Rosalie remained silent, William tentatively called out
again.
"I-I'm fine." Rosalie quickly stood up from the ground, his voice becoming a bit rougher, afraid that William would notice something was off.
Despite all her precautions, she forgot about her anemia. Having squatted on the ground for a long time and just recovered from a serious illness, she simply couldn't withstand the sudden act of standing up.
Rosalie only felt a darkness before her eyes, her body swaying, falling to the side.
"Be careful." William quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around Rosalie's
waist, steadying her.
His touch, like a needle, pricked Rosalie.
"Don't touch me!!"
She forcefully slapped away William's hand, took two steps back, her head slightly tucked in and her chin down, her eyes warily fixed on William.
This was a reaction that a person would subconsciously display when filled with
hostility.
William frowned
Didn't understand what had been done wrong to elicit such a strong reaction from
"Caitlin".
Could it be that he felt he had just disrespected her?
William's face darkened.
Caitlin's features were plain, neither ugly nor beautiful.
Iler figure was even more unspeakable, almost emaciated to the point of being a stick,
belonging to the least attractive category for men.
Considering that the other party had taken care of Anne. William patiently left a message, "If you need anything, come find me at William's Castle," before he turned around and left with Anne in his arms.
Ile had barely taken two steps when he saw Preston's fiancée, Iledy.
Beside Hedy, there was also a boy standing, holding bags of various sizes in his arms.
A quarter of the boy's face was obscured by the object in his arms, making it
impossible to make out his features.
William's face had turned even darker.
He brushed past Hedy and the little boy, opened the car door, and carried Annic
inside.
Anne immediately took out the paper and pen that were always kept in the car, and wrote a message for William to read on the paper:
"Dad, I wanted to stay in the hospital."
William pondered for a moment, "Alright, your mother misses you a lot too, but you
can't run around this time."
Anne nodded, her heart pounding like thunder.
She remembered the room number that Aunt Caitlin registered at the hospital front.
desk.
Going to find Aunt Caitlin was not considered running around.
William took Anne back to the hospital again.
As he passed the corridor, he turned his head to glance at it, his eyebrows slightly
furrowed, and he thought again of the strange, thin woman he had just seen.
Soon, he relaxed his brow and took Annie to Gloria's hospital room.
The ward downstairs.
Jan placed the bags of stuff on the table, raising an eyebrow at Пledy: "Auntie, didn't I tell you I could carry all these things back? I am a powerful knight!
Don't underestimate me!"
"Alright, I won't underestimate in the future." Iledy finished speaking, her gaze shifted to Rosalie, whose situation seemed off, her dark pupils flashing. "Caitlin, why is your body constantly shaking? Did William do something to you?"
She had already learned from Rosalie about Rosalie's chance encounter with
William's daughter, Anne.
"No, it's just that I'm really scared of strange men approaching me," Rosalie lied with
her eyes closed, pretending to be psychologically traumatized.
Hedy didn't feel right to ask any more, she gave a few admonitions and left the
hospital.
On the way back to the Isabella University apartment area, Hedy took out her phone and found that Preston had replied to the message she had sent him earlier. [Preston]: It's been ten days since we last saw our godson Ian, his face seems to have
filled out quite a bit.
[Hedy]: I had three meals a day in the hospital, so I didn't have to starve like before, which is why I gained some weight.
[Preston]: I suddenly had the illusion that William was my son.
[Hedy]: Why did you say that?
[Preston]: After lan gained some weight on his face, the shape of his eyes was very similar to William's when he was a child. I've seen photos of William as a child.
