At this hour, are Grandpa and Joe asleep?
After a long hesitation, she finally found the courage to stand up and decided to take Keira home
The little one was already asleep, and when she was picked up she seemed to feel something and muttered a dreamy voice.
“Daddy… is with Daddy…”
Emma Rosy knew Keira didn’t want to leave, and after Alex Brown was injured and in a coma, other than her and Eric Chan, Keira was the one who worried about him the most.
She knew that Keira didn’t want to leave. So knowing that it was impossible, she would secretly wonder how good it would be if they could live together happily and happily like a normal family.
“I’m sorry Keira .”
She apologized softly to Keira, and then suppressed her heartache as she walked home.
Emma Rosy hands Keira to the housekeeper who answers the door, telling him to be gentle and not to wake the baby.
After watching the housekeeper carry Keira slowly upstairs, she turns and walks into the living room.
Master Wright was reading a book, and when he heard her footsteps, he took off his glasses and raised his hand to pinch his brow.
Seeing his tiredness, Emma Rosy tried to give him a massage, but was held back.
Grandpa was already very old.
The words popped into her head, and a short, sharp pain shot through her heart as if she had been stabbed by a needle.
She snuggled up to Master Wright’s shoulder and asked, “Grandpa, where did brother go?”
Master Wright seemed to sigh, “He’s still at the office.”
Emma Rosy became more and more guilty, buried deeply in Master Wright’s arms, and only after a long time did she make a muffled sound, in which it was not difficult to hear a choked sob.
“I know I was wrong, really… I’m especially sorry to you and my brother, but I don’t feel qualified to ask for your forgiveness, I was too scared, and I still have palpitations when I think about it.”
Master Wright’s face is gentle, slowly rubbing Emma Rosy’s hair.
“Good boy, isn’t that what life is all about, making mistakes in order to learn from them and not repeat them. With Grandpa and Joe around, you can make up for all your mistakes, let go of the past.”
“Grandpa…”
Emma Rosy rubbed herself in his arms and finally couldn’t hold back her tears.
Master Wright smiled in relief, patting her back to soothe her, waiting for her to cry enough before politely suggesting: “Although Joe is Grandpa’s adopted child, he treats the Wright family, Grandpa, and you with his whole heart. If you have someone else in your heart, Grandpa won’t force you, but try to look at Joe, okay?”
This is the first time that Grandpa has asked her to try to accept Joe Wright in an almost pleading tone, but she hasn’t tried, she just can’t lie to her own heart.
“Brother Joe… is my family.”
A moment of silence, she said softly.
Master Wright no longer speaks, he also understands.
“Tick-tock – tick-tock -”
The sound of water dripping into the ears, the dormant brain gradually awakened, Alex Brown frowned and turned his head to look at the source of the noise.
His whole body was a little numb, he tried to move his fingers, finally felt the power filling his body, and was about to sit up, when a cry of alarm sounded not far away.
“Don’t move!”
Eric Chan bounced up from the sofa, rushed over, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face, but did not forget to remind: “wound, you have a knife wound in the abdomen!”
Still a step too late, Alex Brown got up and froze midway, then fell back to the hospital bed with a painful face.
Eric Chan rushed to find a doctor, after a busy examination, the doctor said two good news.
“The wound is not torn, just pay attention to it in the future, and the bruises in the cerebral blood vessels are dispersing, so I’ll do another examination in a few days and I’ll see how it goes.”
After sending the doctor away with a thousand thanks, Eric Chan came back and saw Alex Brown looking towards the door since a while ago, and his heart suddenly understood.
