"I hope he calls you so you don't break Jace's heart for your fun," Rose said.

Anna shrugged off what her sister said because the new Jace she met only few days ago,was not the jovial friendly Jace she knew before and it will make something more than her to break him.

"I really miss you," Anna said hugging Rose tightly with her chin resting on Rose's shoulder. "The house feels bigger than ever before without you and I can't have fun without thinking about you," Anna told her sincerely.

"I will be back soon. If mum succeeds in persuading them to let me return to B city," Rose said rubbing Anna's back. "I miss you too. This hospital room feels like a dungeon most of the time," Rose said softly. She wanted to go back home.

"I feel better knowing you are not having fun while I feel so lonely without you," Anna said with a soft laughter.

Rose felt her lips twitch slightly as she tried to come up with something to say about what her sister just said. "I guess that will make you hope for my recovery. I also want to leave this place," Rose finally said after a moment of silence.

"Hmm . . . You are right," Anna agreed nodding energetically while still resting her chin on Rose's shoulder.

"That hurts," Rose said pushing her away and massaged her shoulder while glaring at Anna.

Anna shrugged with a smile as she leaned her back against the backrest of the chair. "I am going back tomorrow while mum will go back to work and she will be too busy to visit you," Anna said with a sadly pout.

"Don't bother I'm used to it and I have Carl to keep me company . . ." she replied and completed the sentence on her mind. 'and I also have my future husband.'

"Why are you smiling so happily? Are you that happy that I am leaving tomorrow?" Anna teased when she saw her sister smile so sincerely that she noticed the dimples she discovered only few months ago.

"No, I am just happy that my treatment will be over soon," she told her sister while withdrawing her smile without hesitating. She blushed slightly when she remembered why she smiled. The thought of who Liam was to her, made her feel so shy.

"And you will be able to go home," Anna said excitedly. "I am so happy," she squealed hugging Rose tightly until Rose tapped her arm so she could breath well without the feeling of being strangled by her sister's hug. "Guess you are not as happy as I am because I am really happy."

"I am happy too but I don't want to make much noise this is a hospital," Rose said trying hard to feign her overboard happiness. She was going to miss Carl when she goes back to B city.

Anna laughed. "The walls are sound proof," she reminded her sister. "I will drop by tomorrow morning with a phone for you or I could just send the phone to you," Anna said. "I would have done it before coming today but I was in a hurry to come here."

"Don't be in such a hurry next time and thanks by the way. I think a new phone will do me some good," Rose said.

Valerie joined them after a while. "I spoke to the doctors about your transfer," she said when she sat down comfortably on a sofa. With the two girls attention on her, she continued, "They think you should stay for a week. They want to be sure you are well enough to travel so what happened won't be repeated. You will be moved to B city if you are well enough by next week and if not, they said you will need to rest for two more weeks."

"But that means you will miss your graduation," Anna said worriedly.

"I want to attend my graduation but I want to be in the shape to do so. It won't be good if I pass out that day," Rose said sadly but firmly. Her health comes first.

"You look okay," Anna observed looking at Rose closely. "You skin have gotten it's color back and your eyes are clear. I don't think you should have any problem going back home."

"According to the doctors, your sister is not as strong as she looks. They claim she is masking her pain up. We should listen to the doctors," Valerie replied firmly.

Anna pouted with sad eyes as she looked at Rose. "I hope you get well soon," she murmured avoiding her sister's gaze.

"Thank you. I am sorry that I can't design a gown for you now but as soon as get back home, I will begin working on a design for you," Rose promised sincerely.

"Your birthday is after the graduation, right?" Valerie asked rhetorically. "I will prepare something cool for you but is there anything you want?"

"No, I am satisfied with anything you give me," Rose said sincerely and smiled. She did not want to take more than she should from the Whitfred couple. She has tried to hypnotize herself with the fact that she deserves anything she gets since she is the princess but that did not persuade her enough to be as open and direct as Anna.

"I guess I will have to do this on my own then," Valerie said calmly. She already expected that answer from Rose. She would have been surprised if Rose decides to ask for something big.

"I will help you," Anna offered excitedly.

"I have to leave. I have dinner plans," Valerie said after a few minutes as she picked her purse up and gracefully stood up. "I wish you quick recovery."

"Thank you," Rose said with a smile. She also wish herself quick recovery and she hoped she won't have to undergo another liver transplant. She was tired of the weak feeling all these gave her.

"I will go back to the apartment later. I need to take Rose to the sixth floor," Anna said.

"Don't be too late," Valerie advices before leaving.

"So,what do you think of what I told you two days ago?" Carl asked during lunchtime the following day.

"I don't think you said anything reasonable," Rose replied and continued reading the book she held but none of the words seemed to make sense anymore.

"I will tell you one of my biggest secrets," Carl said leaning close to her. "I caused my brother's accident. I am the reason he lost the use of his legs," Carl whispered softly with a smile that spoke of how much cruelty he had buried under his "pretty face" as Anna calls it.

Rose leaned back very surprised of his sudden revelation. She knew he was nothing close to being a good boy but she never expected this level of cruelty and wickedness from him.

"Now, don't give me that look. It was something I had to do when I overheard them make plans to kill me," Carl said leaning back now.

Rose could only shake her head and looked at the door hoping Leah comes to her rescue because she could not understand him. He felt like the total stranger he really was not her jovial cousin who seemed to care about her a lot.

"Since I decided to be frank with you, I will tell you everything. I never wanted the accident to be serious. I only wanted their mind to be too occupied with something else that they won't bother killing me for a while but it turned out to be more serious than I wanted it to be although I am not sorry," Carl said with a shrug as though he was talking about a character in a movie.

"You are not sorry?" Rose asked in disbelief and scoffed. This guy was making her really confused.

"Mmm. I am not sorry," he told her with a smile that looked so genuine and innocent.

His smile gave her goosebumps and it took so much effort for her to not rub her arms.

"They killed my mother," he told her sadly. "I never knew my mother and it is their fault. They said she died if excess bleeding after childbirth but from what I gathered, they induced her labor when she was seven months pregnant for me. I know the queen was killed although I don't have a proof of that but we can find one if we search for it."

"Why will you do that?" Rose asked looking at him skeptically.

"Your mother was very nice to me. She was the nicest person I have ever met in my life. My grand parents used to like me a lot before they died and left all their wealth for my brother and I. I will not let the son of my mother's murderer take what rightfully belongs to me and I am willing to help you," he explained.

"I don't believe you," she said shaking her head in disbelief.

"I am going to make my father useless to the council and when I do, I will join the council perhaps you will believe me when that happens," he promised.

"You . . . I won't let you stain your hands with blood for me," Rose said shaking her head. It was enough that she has Liam's support.
