Chapter 410 Sorry, I'm Late

The decision to return to Krine was a little sudden.
Oliver and Xander had no objections. They shared the same thoughts as Roseane.
As long as it was good for Mariam, they could go wherever they had to. 
Only Mariam was a little scared and uneasy.
She knew that her illness had caused a lot of trouble for her daughter. For her, Roseane must have owed the Valentine family a lot. This made her very uncomfortable.
When she saw that Roseane was so busy packing up everything in the ward to bring to Krine, her nose felt sour. 
"Roseane, why don't we just forget about it?"
"Can't I undergo the surgery here?"
When Roseane turned around and saw Mariam's worried gaze, she immediately understood what she was thinking.
She leaned closer and hugged her. "It's okay, mom. The success rate of the operation in the city hospital is higher."
"Moreover, the security conditions and the privacy here are not very good. I used to be a public figure. I am afraid that if someone recognizes me, it will cause trouble for you."
"We've been living here for a few days and haven't encountered any trouble."
"And if I'm transferred to the city hospital, the hospitalization fees will be higher, right?"
"Roseane... why don't we just forget it?"
Mariam didn't want to cause too much trouble for her daughter. She was used to staying here, so it would not be comfortable for her to go to a big city.
With red eyes, Roseane didn't know what to say.
Xander chimed in. "Mom, you'd better listen to Roseane. Let's cure your illness first, and then consider other things."
"Besides, things might appear normal now. However, when I went to get water for you just now, I heard some people in the ward next door gossiping. It seems that they recognized Roseane."
Mariam was stunned.
Looking at Xander's expression, it seemed that those people's words were not pleasant.
If she continued to stay here, maybe someone would really come to make trouble.
"Well... Roseane, didn't you promise Gellert that you would stay here for the training course in the future? Won't it be bad for him if we leave like this?"
Gellert left in the morning. Mariam always felt uncomfortable with him being here.
After Roseane recognized him, it wasn't long before Gellert tactfully found an excuse to leave.
His actions made the Comtois family have a very good impression of him. Mariam even felt that since there was such a past between them, it would be a good choice if Roseane could really be with him in the end.
Roseane thought for a moment and said, "I'll apologize to Gellert later. He's very considerate so he won't have any objections."
Eliza had just returned and told Matthew that Roseane was also returning to Krine. She was back here again to see if they had packed up.
However, as soon as she entered the ward, she heard the conversation between Mariam and Roseane. She could not help but raise her eyebrows.
"Mrs. Comtois, you can come back when you've recovered from your surgery."
"Also, it's not that easy to handle the matters of the training course. Regarding Roseane's career, she still needs to carefully consider it. The most important thing is to choose a job that she likes which can offer her a promising future. What do you think?"
Eliza didn't think that Roseane was someone who had an interest to be a teacher. If Roseane compromised now, she might take a path that would make her regret in the future. This was not what she wanted to see.
Roseane tilted her head and looked at Eliza. When she saw her bright eyes that seemed to have seen through everything, she inexplicably felt a little guilty.
Just then, a flurry of footsteps came from the corridor, and there was a noise not far away.
"Why is it so noisy? I'll go and have a look." Xander stood up.
Before he could reach the door, Bates walked in quickly.
"Mrs. Valentine, Miss Comtois, have you packed up? A bunch of reporters suddenly came from outside. I think we'd better leave as soon as possible."
After saying this, everyone in the ward was stunned.
"How did they get here so fast..." Roseane frowned.
However, Eliza made a prompt decision and called Bates out.
"Bates and I will lure the reporters outside. Roseane, take your parents to the parking lot to find Beau."
"Hurry up!"
Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be entangled by these people.
"Eliza... Be careful."
Hearing this, Eliza turned around and smiled at Roseane. "Don't worry, my martial arts aren't for nothing."
After that, she rolled up her sleeves and walked out in an imposing manner.
Roseane knew that the situation was urgent, so she did not have time to worry and immediately instructed her younger brother.
"Xander, push the wheelchair over."
Xander pushed the wheelchair over. Roseane and Oliver helped to hold Mariam to the wheelchair. Then, they took everything and quickly moved to the elevator.
When she left the ward, Roseane glanced in Eliza's direction. At this moment, she was standing in front of the crowd, leading her bodyguards and Bates to help block those media reporters who came out of nowhere.
Roseane thanked her in her heart and quickly pushed Mariam into the elevator.
The elevator went down slowly. When they reached the first floor, they saw a bunch of reporters outside.
They wanted to come over and surround Roseane, but they were late. They thought that they wouldn't be able to grab the headlines this time, but they didn't expect to bump into her like this. 
After being stunned for a while, these people suddenly smiled happily.
"Roseane is indeed here!"
"Roseane! Someone took photos of you entering a hotel with a different man. Your private life is extremely messed up. Do you have anything to explain?"
"Are you really divorcing your husband because you cheated on him?"
"Roseane, you've degenerated from the movie queen to this state and you can't even afford the hospital fees for your own mother's illness. Is that true?"
"Roseane, have you ever thought that your actions would disappoint your fans?"
"Roseane..."
The cameras kept flashing. These reporters blocked Roseane and her family in the elevator. They ignored that her family was still there and asked mean questions.
Roseane's face turned pale.
She did not expect that these people would still not let her go even after she had announced that she had withdrawn from the entertainment circle. 
They wanted to get everything out of her and they didn't care how embarrassed she was at the moment.
She said over and over again, "I'm sorry. Please step aside."
However, it was useless.
No one listened to what she said. Those people were still carrying heavy machines and pushing her to the corner of the elevator step by step.
Afraid that her mother in the wheelchair would get hurt, Roseane could only throw herself to Mariam in the end, trying to protect her with her own body.
She bit her lower lip and tried hard not to cry.
Right at this moment...
"Get lost!"
A male voice full of hostility sounded behind them. 
Someone rushed over and roughly dragged the people who were surrounding the elevator out.
Those people tried to struggle, but were directly dragged away by a crazy man.
Some people were knocked over by one punch and kicked a few more times.
The crazy behavior finally shocked everyone present, and all the reporters in the elevator were driven out.
Matthew gasped slightly. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He then took off his suit jacket and gently covered Roseane.
"Sorry, I'm late."
