Chapter 30: Red Roses
Rose feels much better now. Then, she invited Evan into the house.
"Evan, I happened to be having breakfast now... eat with me if you haven’t had breakfast." She looks at Evan, who walks behind her.
Evan nods.
Last night he didn’t notice that his cell phone battery ran out, and he slept late because of his grandfather’s birthday party. Several of his relatives and friends attended the party. He couldn’t avoid chatting with them until late.
Then, after charging his cell phone and turning it on in the morning, he was shocked to read Rose’s text message.
Without saying goodbye to his family and without breakfast, he flew straight to East city to meet her right away. He blames himself for being too careless, not aware his phone is running out of battery.
He is upset with himself for finding out too late about Molly’s medical check-up result. He could imagine how panicked Rose was when she learned of her mother’s illness.
Seeing her walking slowly towards the kitchen to get a set of cutlery for him, he can see how devastated she is at the moment. Makes his heartache.
Unknowingly. He stood up from his chair and walked fast toward Rose to the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in her soft neck.
"I’m sorry, Rose! I’m not on your side when you need me. I’m really sorry." His deep voice slightly trembled. "Please don’t be sad anymore. I’m here now. I will help you to take care of everything. I will bring the best doctor in this country to cure your mother...."
Rose startled.
