Chapter 7: Sorry
Rose was confused to realize she was in a hospital.
"What Happened? Wasn’t I having dinner with Evan?" She silently talks to herself.
While confused, she suddenly heard a conversation between Evan and a woman’s voice that closely resembled her mother’s voice. She slowly looked in their direction. She was shocked, and suddenly her heartbeat wildly looked at her mother. How could she come here?
"If Rose doesn’t wake up in an hour, I’ll stay here. But if she wakes up before that, we better go home." Molly smiles at Evan, "It’s more comfortable staying at home...."
Evan nods, agreeing with Aunt Molly.
"I’ll drive Aunt and Rose back home..." Evan couldn’t force Aunt Molly to stay at the hospital.
"Evan, no need to drive us. You must be tired if you have to take us home. Rose and I can take a taxi...." Molly quickly turned down Evan’s offer. She and Rose had already bothered Evan too much. It didn’t feel right. He had to drive them to go home. Especially now that it was already midnight, he must be tired. Plus, their house is quite a distance from Evan’s house.
"Aunty... I’m Rose’s boyfriend, it’s my responsibility to take care of Rose and you. Don’t worry, I’m a strong man, I don’t feel tired...." He smiled, trying to convince Molly to believe what he was saying.
Rose was speechless when she heard Evan and her mother look familiar. They casually talked as if they had already known each other for a long time. And what surprised her is that her mother already knows Evan’s identity as her boyfriend. She blushed while holding her smile, remembering her new status as Evan’s girlfriend. It doesn’t feel real.
