The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Noelle ended up visiting Rosie first.

Beatrice had planned to accompany her, but perhaps sensing Noelle's resistance —and realizing that it was her first time meeting Rosie-she felt it inappropriate to enter the room empty-handed after arriving in such a hurry.

So, when she reached the doorway of the hospital room, she stopped and decided not to go inside.

Through the slightly opened door, she could hear Rosie's soft, childlike voice. Unable to resist, she took a few glances inside. But all she saw was Rosie's back, her round little head, and a pair of fair arms.

Beatrice could tell with just that one look how well-behaved Rosie was. Her gaze softened.

Just then, Noelle came out of the room. She had wanted to remove her IV drip earlier, but Seline firmly refused to allow it. So, she still had the needle in her hand when she stepped out.
