Dawn felt like slapping Rose in the face but...

"Rose..." She suddenly reached out to hold Rose's hand. Seeing the guilt on Rose's face, she concealed the hatred in her heart and forced a smile, albeit one that was incredibly bitter. "Could you promise me something?" Dawn looked at Rose.

Given Dawn's condition, Rose couldn't refuse. "Alright. Just tell me, and I'll do my best."

Rose had prepared herself to convince Evan to return to Aquastead and marry Dawn, but to her surprise, Dawn didn't ask for that.

"Rose, could you please keep it from Evan that I called you to pick me up? The truth is, I was upset with Evan after our argument in the morning. It's my fault..."

Not letting Rose tell Evan about her call was Dawn's way of hiding the fact that she had set Rose up last night by luring Rose to Mount Ebott. She had to eliminate all possibility of them discussing the incident and exposing her scheme. As for her and Rose...

"Okay."

Upon hearing Rose's promise, Dawn contentedly released her hand. "Rose, I want to sleep for a bit."

With that, Rose tucked Dawn in and left the room.

As soon as she was gone, the look on Dawn's face changed completely. Gone was the pretense and disguise. Instead, her clenched fists were full of repressed hatred. A moment later, a cold smile crept onto Dawn's lips. "Rose, you'll do as I want, won't you?"

Rose was kind but not stupid. She had once financially supported Dawn, but after their encounter in Regalia, Rose decided not to intervene in Dawn's relationship with Evan and didn't want to pressure him into marriage. Dawn knew why. Rose no longer saw her as the same Dawn she knew. But just now, Dawn had likely triggered Rose's guilt. As her guilt mixed with pity, Dawn figured that Rose would help her now.

When Rose found Evan, he was on the rooftop of the hospital. Beside him, Jonathan, Clover, and even Miles, who had arrived after hearing the news, were there. Each of them stood some distance apart as if they despised being too close to one another. As soon as Rose stepped onto the rooftop, several gazes fell on her at once. She was stunned before greeting each of them one by one.
