Chapter 847 In the hospital ward, Roza lay weakly on the bed, hooked to an IV drip. The morning sunlight fell on her, highlighting her beautiful face.
“Roza...” Bella's voice was gentle, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at her frail apprentice. It was hard to reconcile this image with the carefree and cheerful Roza she knew.

“What's going on?!” Bella hurriedly took a seat beside the bed, reaching out to hold Roza’s hand. She asked with concern, “How did this happen? Who bullied you?” Roza hesitated, unsure of how to respond. After a while, she said, “I'm just dizzy due to low blood sugar. It's not a big deal.” “You're still not tellingthe truth now? Don’t you know you have a heart condition? How long do you plan on hiding it from me?!” Bella's anger flared. Her face flushed with fury as she squeezed Roza’s hand firmly.
“My brother said you received a call last night, and after answering it, you fainted due to emotional distress. Who called you? What did they say? Also, what happened at the nightclub last night?” Bella’s questions hit all the sore spots. Her sharp intuitioERut through Roza’s excuses..
Roza frantically blinked, and her fingers tightened slightly in Bella’s palm. “Master, | didn’t mean to hide it from you. But | hope you can givespersonal space. Lethave a little secret of my own.” “No! No! No!” Bella's heart swelled with indignation. Her eyes were ablaze with anger. “What stupid secret? You're obviously being bullied, and you're hiding it from me! | believe in revenge. Whoever dares harm someone close to me, | will pay it back to them a hundredfold! You're my beloved apprentice, so how can | just sit idly and watch you get bullied?” “You can’t control this!” Roza’s chest heaved intensely. This was the first tshe had spoken to Bella in such a fierce tone. “I'm begging you. Please don’t meddle in my affairs!” Bella's expression froze, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed.
Leaving the ward, Bella looked pale. But Bella, being stubborn, felt even more compelled to understand what was happening the more Roza hid it from her. No matter what, Bella had to stand up for her apprentice! Bella asked Steven to stay and settle sthings while she and Axel went to the cafe across the street from the hospital.
“Bella, | think Roza has sfamily issues. | don’t know if she has mentioned it to you before,” Axel said, lowering his gaze. He knew Bella had a sweet tooth and gently placed a cube of sugar in her coffee, adding a touch of sweetness.

Other than that, Roza has never mentioned anything to me.” Bella replied, taking a deep breath. “She’s my most trusted friend, so | never considered investigating her background.” “It’s not investigating, but rather understanding. You can only help her once you fully understand her pain.” Axel explained, his gaze flickering as he retrieved a file from his phone and placed it in front of Bella. “Sorry, Bella, | investigated Roza without telling you. Don’t be angry.” How could Bella be angry? She was even secretly happy. Her brother had always only cared about his cases and her matters. It was surprising to see him devoting his energy to Roza this time.
Bella thought, ‘Does it mean that I'm about to gain a sister-in-law soon?’ Axel revealed. “Roza is the daughter of Cole Walker, the chairman of Walker Corporation.” “Walker Corporation? I've heard of it. It's not a big company, but it’s quite famous in Savrow’s real estate industry,” Bella commented.
In order to take over the Thompson family business, Bella maintained a good understanding of the domestic business scene, especially the bigwigs in Savrow.
“But if | remember correctly, Cole Walker only has a son and a daughter, who are both quite high-profile, so | have an impression of them. How is Roza his daughter?” Axel’s eyes darkened. “Roza is his illegitimate daughter, but this has never been exposed.”
