Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 544
Chapter 544: Chapter 544
"I heard from Mark that you enjoy a good cup of tea. How about we skip the meal and have a few cups of tea before you leave?" Sampson suggested warmly.
Rosemary could see that he genuinely wanted to thank her from the bottom of his heart, so she agreed,
"Sure."
A smile spread across Sampson’s face. He led Rosemary to the garden, where the best tea and pastries were being served.
Mark, who was accompanying them, sincerely thanked Rosemary for her compassionate care.
At that moment, the villa’s majestic front doors slowly opened, and eight uniformed servants hurried out to welcome the incoming guests.
Rosemary followed their gaze and saw a black car parked outside the entrance. The driver opened the car door, and a man and a woman stepped out.
"My sister and her husband are here," Sampson said.
He had sent someone to pick them up from their hotel that morning, and they were finally here. He knew they’d be thrilled to know that their mother’s condition could be treated.
Sampson grinned, deciding to keep them in suspense for a bit longer.
"You’ll be surprised when you see my sister. You two look strikingly similar."
"I’ll go welcome them. Wait here," Sampson stood up, smoothed out his suit, and walked toward the entrance.
Mark also rose to his feet.
"I’ll go say hello too. I’ll be right back."
"Sure, go ahead," Rosemary nodded. Once they were out of earshot, she pulled out her phone to reply to Romeo’s text.
As Louisa was led into the villa by the eight servants, she glanced at the garden to her right and saw a young woman sitting at a table, engrossed in her phone.
"Is that my brother’s girlfriend? Whose daughter is she?" she asked one of the servants, unable to hide her excitement.
The servant replied,
"She came with Dr. Mark this morning. She’s his mentor."
"She seems quite young. A mentor?" Kenneth chuckled.
"Well, we don’t need to worry about my brother’s future anymore."
"It’s quite a relief," Louisa confessed, a smile playing on her lips.
"With five sons at home to look after, and a brother abroad, it’s good to see him finally settling down."
"Louisa, Kenneth," Sampson greeted, hugging both of them warmly.
"Mark, you’ve worked hard," Louisa said, exchanging pleasantries with him. Then, leaning in close to Sampson, she asked,
"Be honest, who is that girl sitting over there? Is she the one you mentioned before?"
Sampson chuckled, realizing his sister had misunderstood something. But he decided to keep it a secret for a bit longer.
"Come with me, and you’ll see."
He couldn’t wait to see the look on Louisa’s face when she realized how similar Rosemary looked to her.
"And wait till you hear that Mom’s condition can be treated — all thanks to this young woman. I can’t wait to see your reaction."
"Let’s go. I want to see her," Louisa said, planning to meet the girl as a parent, but as she got closer, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity about the young woman.
Just then, Rosemary got a call. She stood up to take it, and her silhouette caught Kenneth’s eye.
"She does remind me of Rose," he admitted.
"You think so too?" Louisa was surprised.
"I was just thinking her fashion sense is very similar to Rose’s."
"Who’s Rose?" Sampson asked, clearly puzzled.
Rosemary quickly finished her phone call and turned around. Louisa and Kenneth stared at her in disbelief.
Sampson, seeing the expressions on his sister and brother-in-law’s faces, was about to introduce Rosemary when Louisa blurted out,
"Rose, what on earth are you doing here?"
"Mom?" Rosemary looked surprised, then turned to Kenneth,
"Dad? What are you two doing here?"
"What did you just call them?" Now it was Sampson’s turn to be surprised. When did his sister and brother-in-law have a daughter?
Even Mark, who was standing by, had wide eyes. What was going on?
"Mark asked me to come here and treat his friend’s mom. I was nearby, so I came," Rosemary explained, and then turned to her parents,
"And you two?"
"You’re not referring to his mother, are you?" Louisa pointed at her brother.
Rosemary nodded, a bit confused.
"That’s your uncle! His mother is my mom — your grandmother!"
At Louisa’s words, both Rosemary and Sampson looked surprised.
Uncle? Grandma? This was a lot to take in.
Sampson was stunned. When did he get a niece? And she’s all grown up?
What was happening?
Kenneth managed to say,
"Let’s sit down and talk this through."
Louisa quickly explained the fire at the clinic years ago, how Rose was taken by the Harris family, and how Serena wasn’t their biological child.
Shocked, Sampson now understood why he felt a strange sense of familiarity the first time he met Rosemary — even a sense of closeness.
Subconsciously, he always felt she had some connection with his sister, even wanted to investigate her.
"Because you’re usually busy, and you’re abroad, and Mom’s illness has been a great burden, I was afraid if I told you and you told Mom, it might worsen her condition."
So Louisa thought she’d keep it a secret for a while, until their mother’s condition improved.
At the time, Rose had just been recognized, and Louisa didn’t want to announce her identity to friends and family all at once. It was to avoid overwhelming Rose with visits and to give her and Kenneth more time with their daughter. Moreover, the health of the elders in both families wasn’t good, and she was afraid they would be upset.
"So how did you meet Rose? Did Mark introduce you?" Louisa asked her brother.
Sampson replied honestly,
"I saw her in a restaurant before and thought she looked a lot like you. Then I saw her again on the cruise last night. She not only saved me, but also helped me detox."
When Louisa heard about the dangerous situation from last night, her heart pounded in her chest.
"You were being hunted down last night? Who did it? Who dares to act so recklessly on your turf?"
"Thankfully, Rose was there. She even calculated the time of the knockout gas, which helped me find the mole quickly."
Rosemary was surprised to hear this. So the incident last night was caused by a mole?
She also thanked him,
"Uncle Sampson, you helped me and Kelly escape the siege, and you gave me a very valuable medicinal herb."
