Chapter 128 - Chapter 20: Winter, At Limits

Rose had woken up in a hospital to hear conversations going back and forth. And then she heard her mother voice and then sat up. She wasn't even smiling this time, and it seems she was at her limit.

"She's awake" Ashlyn smiled happily, Rose glanced at the disheveled Anna with a large palm smack on her face her children weren't even looking at her now. Griffin was sitting in a corner he was watching at Rose in relief along with her aunt and uncle, Jake.

She calmly ripped off the IV "Is he downstairs?" she asked her Mother.

"Yeah" She giggled "I picked the both of them up long ago" The faces of everyone in the room look at Ashlyn strangely.

"Well, it's not like I was going to let her take off with my grandson," She said as everyone's faces turned to surprise. Jake's wasn't as he quickly turned to his cousin who had no expression, it frightened him for some reason. After all, he was used to her smiling disposition.

"That Meggs person is downstairs in handcuffs."

Rose got up.

As she walked past Ashlyn quietly, Ashlyn smile dropped for a moment before following her out. Not wanting to be left out the rest of the group followed suit until they came upon the children's ward of the hospital. Rose touched the glass as she saw Winter who looked back at her and started smiling and get excited as waved his arms and legs.

"Where is he! Where is my baby?" Meggs screamed, "How dare you to take a mother away from her child."

Rose twitched and looked at her Mother who wasn't happy either as she started at Meggs. Meggs looked at Rose and started viciously spatting.

"He's my child, not yours, and he's mine….."

"Mother, Kill her." She said deadly in Latin. Ashlyn didn't even question it as she signaled her to mean who were dressed in police uniforms. They took her away while she was screaming and hollering.

"You bags are already packed in the car, Our flights in three hours," Ashlyn said to Rose.

"I'm sorry," Griffin said sadly to Rose "My family caused you so much heartbreak even though we should be thankful even though you brought my son back to his family alive. When he wakes up, I'll tell him about you" the old man looked so emotional. But his family were focused on his words as he went to his knees.

"Father, what do you mean?" Anise questioned him

"Miss Rose is the reason you're not a widow. She saved your husband, my son."

Rose wasn't even paying attention to them anymore her gaze was solely focused in her giggling son.

"…" Anise was speechless as she looked down and didn't say anything.

"How?!" Coney and David looked at each other.

"It was four years ago, right. Before Rose, came to our House" Jake looked at Ashlyn

"Yeah, I sent her to you guys because of the trouble in China got problematic." She responded back

"Here you go," the nurse said to Rose as she handed her Winter who was eagerly holding his arms out to Rose, making her expression soften.

"So, Dad is still alive because of Sister," Anise said trembling as she looked back and forth between Jake and Rose. Jean had already arrived with his father as they listened to the conversation that was going on, they had incense expression.

Anthony just stood in shock as he couldn't process correctly what his grandfather was saying. The witness and savior that they have been looking for these past four years were the women who claimed to have had his kid. He stared at Rose as he then noticed the necklace. It was the necklace his father had gripped tightly on, the one his savior gave him. A golden rose, it started to make sense as her name was Rose. He still didn't know what to say.

"Grandfather, you should get up" Rose making Griffin look she was no longer smiling when she faced him. Before she faced her mother "We should go." And then looked at Coney, David, and Jake.

"Are your bags packed?" She asked

"Yeah we packed them last night," Jake said as Coney and David nodded their heads.

"Bag?" Anthony asked

Griffin ha stood up with Mrs. Hans help. "Yes, Rose was planning to leave this morning."

Anna looked conflicted as she didn't know this and went ahead and helped the babysitter take Winter when they were already planning on leaving.

"Grandfather, we are leaving. So, please talk to your family." Rose said emotionlessly as she followed her mother out of the hospital.

She had, had enough of this family that regularly tested her patients. Although she didn't hate Griffin, he had taken advantage at her kindness to get her to stay in a family that would have a hard time accepting Winter. Even if Anthony and Anise attitude started to change, it was because of their own goals. Anthony wanted to get his crush to like him, and he didn't care for Winter he was just willing to do what she asked to gain her favor. He was still against being called Winter father. While Anise only talked to her nicely because of Jake, she doesn't care for Winter either. Anna never even tried to be nice, she was absolutely against having Rose as her daughter-in-law. Griffin because he was the family head, he tried to force his selfish and conceded family members who have always gotten what they wanted to accept her.

Was Rose going to stay with a family like that who would put her son in jeopardy the way they are?

She was even more upset with Anthony, what right did he have to decide he liked her in the end. Not, after all, he did to her. She couldn't and wouldn't stand for it, and she wasn't the type of heroine that would all of a sudden like him because he was nice to her, she wasn't the same heroine that got herself killed because of naively.

She always hated stories like that, why did the heroines, in the end, got back to the selfish and arrogant male leads that ruined their lives. What right did they have to love someone they mistreated so badly and still think they had rights to chase after her. That wasn't going to happen to her she was going to make Sure of it.
