How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

At this moment, Adelaide was in the hospital, looking after Jethro Gallagher like a devoted big sister. Jethro's surgery had been successful, but he would be confined to his hospital bed for six months and currently needed an oxygen mask, rendering him unable to speak.

Seeing Rose approaching, Adelaide greeted her warmly, "Rose, what brings you here?"

Miss Rose, accustomed to a life of privilege, had not always seen eye to eye with Adelaide, whom she regarded as a wallflower. However, this time, Rose's demeanor had softened considerably. "Adelaide, I came to check on you. I heard about your brother getting hurt over Morwenna. My brother went too far by not punishing Morwenna and that Barclay."

Adelaide, with a slight bow of her head, exuded a delicate vulnerability. "It's not their fault. My brother's temper got the best of him. Thank you for coming to see me, Rose."

Suddenly, Rose said, "Actually, there's another reason for my visit. My little sister's piano exam is coming up, and I know you're an excellent pianist, Adelaide. I was hoping to invite you to stay at our family estate for a few days to give her some lessons."

"This... I don't think Norbert Hetfield and Stuart would agree," Adelaide hesitated.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just asking you to teach my sister for a few days. I'm sure they won't be unreasonable. Besides, you once saved my cousin's life. Even if he's heartless, he wouldn't be too harsh on you," Rose persuaded.
