“How?” Keira frowned, unhappy: “I’m obviously especially good, I can also help daddy wash his hands and feed him, not to disturb him.”
The mother and daughter confronted each other for a few minutes, but in the end Emma Rosy was defeated and made a deal with the little one before resigning herself to carrying her to Joe Wright’s hospital room.
Before she could enter, the little one jumped off Emma Rosy and jumped into Joe Wright’s arms like an arrow.
Joe Wright, who had just had a drink of water, turned his head and coughed while holding Keira firmly in his arms after the impact.
Emma Rosy, who came in later, couldn’t help but frown: “Keira Wright!
Keira spat out her tongue and made a face at Emma Rosy as she curled up in Joe Wright’s arms, saying quirkily, “I wanted to surprise Dad, so I didn’t wake him up.”
Emma Rosy approached with a glare and made a move to scoop her up, “Your daddy’s not well yet, don’t let him hold you.”
Emma Rosy was about to pick her up when Joe Wright pleaded, “It’s okay, Keira’s not heavy.”
Keira wrapped her arms around Joe Wright’s neck and jumped up to kiss him, “Daddy’s the best!”
“You just let her be!” Emma Rosy looked at them with her arms crossed, laughing and crying.
Joe Wright felt that this was the happiest moment of his life, breaking through the darkness and seeing the light again.
Unfortunately, the “good times” didn’t last long, and Emma Rosy sent Keira home with Master Wright to rest.
“Your father is still very weak, so it’s time to take his medicine and go to bed, so you can go home with your great-grandfather.
Keira squirmed around, her whole body in denial: “No, I want to stay with Daddy. I’m not going, I want to stay in the hospital!”
Emma Rosy picked up the little one and shoved her into the driver’s arms.
Keira finally gave in when she saw that there was no hope for her to struggle.
The noisy little girl was taken away, and before she left, she was full of reluctance and asked Emma Rosy to take care of Joe Wright.
But just after breakfast, Emma Rosy was nowhere to be found.
When the nurse came to check on him, Joe Wright learned that Alex Brown was also injured.
“Is he badly hurt?”
The nurse nodded and gestured toward the next room: “Stab wound to the abdomen, next door, no sign of awakening yet. When I passed by, Miss Richard was cooperating with the doctor to change his medicine.”
“Drip…”
The temperature was high, and the nurse left after making a record.
A short time later, Emma Rosy came in from outside, carrying a thermos bucket.
“The doctor said you need to take nutrition.” Emma Rosy put the bucket on the table, opened the lid, and the fragrance of mellow aroma instantly wafted out.
Joe Wright drank two bowls of soup and suddenly said, “Alex Brown was injured, why didn’t you tell me?”
Emma Rosy was tidying up the table when she heard the words.
Seeing her silence, Joe Wright pretended to smile easily: “I’m fine, I have a nurse, you can focus on Alex Brown, it’s too tiring to run both ways.”
“It’s all my fault for acting rashly and putting you in this situation, how can I feel at ease if I don’t take care of you myself? When you were in a coma, Grandpa said you had a good constitution since you were a child, and every season the school was full of sickly students, only you were alive and well.”
Emma Rosy sat on the chair next to the bed, intentionally teasing him: “Brother Joe, although Grandpa does not want to scold me, but this time he must be complaining about me in his heart, for your injustice!”
It turned out that without his knowledge, Grandpa cared for him in this way.
Joe Wright was touched, and Emma Rosy’s openness also warmed his heart.
At this point, he stopped talking about asking Emma Rosy to take care of Alex Brown, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “You must… be worried about him, right?”
Who this “he” is, it is self-evident.
Alex Brown was injured because of Keira, Emma Rosy as Keira’s mother, should naturally worry. But Emma Rosy understood that Joe Wright’s question was more than superficial.
She doesn’t know.
Or maybe she already has the answer in her mind and wishes she didn’t know.
“I took care of him simply to repay the favor.”
“Emma, you can’t hide your feelings from me, and perhaps even Grandpa has guessed.” Joe Wright gazed at her tenderly: “Be brave enough to face your heart and live your life as you wish, no need to mind me.”
Emma Rosy hung her head down, deliberately avoiding his gaze.
She finally got up, excused herself to get lunch, and left the room.
Joe Wright sat withered in place, his heart full of unspeakable emotions, when he heard footsteps and looked up.
“How are you feeling?” The attending doctor approached, holding a CT scan of the brain in his hand.
Joe Wright quickly adjusted his mood and explained his situation briefly, only to see the doctor’s slightly heavy expression.
“Why, what’s the problem?”
The doctor held up the CT film and dropped his fingertips on the small shadow on it: “During the routine examination, this shadow suspected of a tumor was found in your brain, but it is impossible to say for now. Have you had any specific reactions before, such as unexplained dizziness, nausea, or other feelings of illness?”
As Emma Rosy said earlier, Joe Wright’s physique has been better than his peers since he was a child, and he has never had any abnormalities.
He was shocked by the possible existence of a tumor in his brain.
However, he was only stunned for a moment, and then asked his doctor for his opinion.
“The tumor must be detected and treated early, I will arrange further examination for you as soon as possible, everything will be said when the examination results come out.”
For now, it seemed that this was all that could be done.
Joe Wright agreed, and when he saw the doctor was ready to leave, he called the person back: “This matter, don’t let others know for the time being.”
When Emma Rosy entered the door with her lunch, she met the doctor and saw a different look on her face, which made her suspicious.
When she looked at Joe Wright, he was smiling, but the smile was deliberate.
“Isn’t that your primary care doctor, what is he doing here?”
Joe Wright said casually and perfunctorily, “Checking in.”
“Where are you not feeling well? Or, is there something wrong with the test results?” Based on professional experience, Emma Rosy easily guessed the doctor’s reason for coming.
Joe Wright naturally denied it and held out his hand towards her for lunch, claiming he was hungry and intending to change the subject.
Emma Rosy didn’t poke him, but her brow stayed slightly furrowed, and after he took his nap, she ran straight to the doctor’s office to ask.
“Uh… I’m just checking in on the system, there’s nothing wrong with it.” The attending doctor did not admit it at first.
Emma Rosy laughed: “Let’s not eat lunch but also check the room first, you should also take care of your body.”
The doctor was slightly embarrassed, and seeing that he couldn’t hide it from Emma Rosy, he had to be frank: “The patient’s test results came out, and I sent them to him on my way.”
There was really something wrong with the test results!
Emma Rosy’s heart sank, and the previous flirtation dissipated: “Is his condition serious?”
