"You don't need to worry about me," Justin interrupted Rosalie. "The medical staff here will take care of me. You should focus on your things. Don't waste your time on me. I won't recover anytime soon, and I don't want to delay your studies."

"But if I don't stay here to take care of you, how can I feel at ease?" Rosalie argued. She could only feel reassured if she stayed and watched over him.

"I'll be fine whether you're here or not. Go to your classes and finish your coursework as soon as possible. Once your classes are done, you can find time to visit me. There's no need to stay by my side all the time. It's a huge waste of your time."

"I don't think it's a waste at all. I just want you to recover quickly."

"I'll recover whether you're here or not," Justin said firmly. "Right now, I want you to focus on your studies and your responsibilities. Don't you want to return to your country sooner to see your child?"

Rosalie fell silent. His words struck a chord deep within her.

"If you stay here," he continued, "you'll need to defer your classes again. That'll be a hassle, and it'll waste so much of your time. When will you get to see your child? He's still with Sebastian. Can you be at ease about that? Even if you trust him, don't you miss your child?"

Rosalie felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being pierced by needles. How could she not miss Steve? She deeply regretted letting Sebastian take him back. If she had known, she would have done everything she could to keep Steve with her.
