Chapter 1084

Rosalie wasn't sure if Justin had been truthful, but regardless, it was clear he didn't want to give her his number. She didn't push him for it, understanding that his unique circumstances likely warranted caution on his part.

By eleven o'clock, Rosalie was growing anxious. She couldn't shake the feeling that something might have happened to him. However, without knowing where Justin was or having a way to contact him, she felt helpless.

Just then, her phone rang.

Upon answering, Rosalie heard Justin's voice on the other end. "Rose, it's me."

"Justin, where are you? Why didn't you come to see me? Are you okay?" she asked, worried something might have happened to him.

Justin chuckled softly. "Sorry, something came up today, and I got held up. I have a lot to deal with, so I probably won't be able to see you for the next few days."

"Oh, I see. I was worried something had happened to you. You scared me," Rosalie said.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself. I'm sorry I broke my promise."

"It's okay," Rosalie replied. "Go handle your business."

"When I'm done, I'll take you to see some houses," Justin assured her.

"Alright," Rosalie responded softly. "No rush."

After the call ended, Rosalie exhaled a sigh of relief. Looking down at Steve in her arms, she said, "Good thing Justin is okay. He really scared me." Still, a lingering unease gnawed at her.

Meanwhile, Justin ended the call and sat on the floor, pressing his hand against the blood-soaked wounds on his body. Using rudimentary tools, he painfully extracted the bullets from his injuries, then wrapped them with bandages. Sweat poured down his face as he worked.

He still didn't know who the assailant was, but one thing was clear-that man was a threat to Rosalie.
