Three years ago, she and Joe Wright put on a dead baby show to keep the bab,
Emma Rosy was surprised by her own transformation, but her feelings took a back seat to the child’s physical and emotional well-being.
“Would you like to?” She forced out a smile.
Alex Brown shook his head.
Alex Brown was reluctant.
Taking Keira away meant separating Keira from her mother, and how could he do what Emma Rosy wouldn’t? And Keira, who had spent so much more time with the Wright Family, would surely not be able to adjust to suddenly going abroad and leaving all her family here.
“I trust you to take care of her, let her stay.”
Emma Rosy’s eyes dimmed and she smiled bitterly, “But she needs her father.”
Keira needs her father, so will you please not go?
That’s what Emma Rosy really wanted to say.
Alex Brown understood her feelings and knew that if the situation continued, the matter would never be settled, so he had to be honest: “I’m going abroad for treatment and will come back once I’m in remission.”
He suddenly had to leave, not to avoid her, but actually to go for treatment?
Emma Rosy was suddenly shocked, grabbed his sleeve and eagerly asked: “Why suddenly go abroad for treatment, Dean Wright also can not cure your disease? You’re getting worse again, aren’t you? Memory loss, acupuncture sequelae, or this knife wound…”
Seeing her worrying about herself, Alex Brown’ heart felt like it was lit by a fire, warm and moving, and then it was flooded with a fine pain.
He used to be so desperate to find evidence of her love for him, and now that she has put her love in front of him, he hesitates, not knowing whether to accept it or not.
Why did they always meet at the wrong time and miss each other at the right time?
After a few inaudible sighs, he smiled reassuringly: “The doctor said that after the treatment, maybe I won’t have headaches anymore, and I might recover my memory.”
Is that all?
Knowing that he was reporting good news but not bad, Emma Rosy hugged him tightly and nodded with a choked sob: “Yes, you go, I… and my daughter and I will wait for you to come back, forever!”
In this afternoon of heavy rain, in this quiet bedroom, in the cold and lingering atmosphere, she decided to reach out towards him again, towards him.
He finally put his arm around her shoulders and slowly leaned down.
The moment the lips touched, fireworks exploded, stars flew, and the rain came through with sweetness…
“Mom…”
The first time she woke up from a long sleep, Keira raised her arms to Emma Rosy for a hug before she opened her eyes.
When she looked, she sat up as if she had been burned.
“Daddy!”
Alex Brown looked at her dotingly.
Keira shrank into the warm embrace, feeling like she was dreaming, and then actually asked, “Are you Daddy? I’m not awake yet, am I?”
Everyone in the bedroom smiled, but behind the smiles, there was heartache.
Alex Brown controlled the force and gently bumped Keira’s forehead, then head against head and asked, “Does it hurt?”
“Uh-huh.” Keira admits with a bewildered look on her face.
“It doesn’t hurt inside the dream.”
At that, Keira pondered for a moment, and a bright light appeared in her eyes.
It wasn’t a dream, it was her father!
She shrank back into Alex Brown’ arms, and after the initial excitement, fear followed: “Daddy, will you always stay with Keira and not go abroad? The ocean is too big, I can’t go to you.”
Alex Brown tightened his arms, his throat trembling: “Dad will go to work, I’ll be back when I’m done, time will pass quickly.”
“Liar!”
Keira raised her little head and frowned as she broke him down, “Daddy doesn’t want me and Mommy anymore, he’s not coming back!”
Emma Rosy covered her mouth and ran quickly out the door, Joe Wright turned around subconsciously, but restrained his steps.
At that moment, Master Wright, who had not given him a good look since the arrival of Alex Brown, suddenly spoke: “He’s not lying to you, it’s just work, he’ll be back.”
Then, Joe Wright also helped to relieve the situation: “When did great-grandfather ever lie to you? Two dads wouldn’t lie to you either, don’t worry.”
With everyone saying this, Keira’s perception was finally shaken, but she still followed her instincts and asked Alex Brown.
“Can you stay with me one more day? It’s okay to work a day late, right?”
“Okay.”
The departure time had already been set, and Alex Brown roughly calculated that he would be able to spend a few more days with Keira, so he couldn’t let her down.
With a positive answer, Keira went to bed satisfied.
The bedroom fell silent, Master Wright walked to the bedside, saw Keira asleep, also ready to go back to rest.
“Master Wright.”
Alex Brown called out to him to thank him for what had just happened, and was interrupted before he had a chance to speak.
“It’s useless to talk more, making Keira happy is the most important thing at the moment.”
Despite his indifferent attitude, Master Wright finally paid attention to Alex Brown.
After he left, Joe Wright kindly explained, “Grandpa has always been like this, in fact, he has already accepted you in his heart, but he is only cold and hard on the surface.”
Alex Brown nodded, saying he understood, and gently put Keira back on the bed, then straightened up and faced Joe Wright.
Seeing that he had something to say, Joe Wright put on a serious look and when he didn’t say anything for a long time, he seemed to be hesitating, so he took the initiative and asked, “What is your condition now, can you tell me?”
Alex Brown wanted to say exactly this, naturally frankly: “acupuncture caused by the sequelae, coupled with the impact of the car accident, frankly speaking, the situation is worse than previously Dean Wright expected, otherwise I would not have rushed to leave.”
Sure enough.
Joe Wright’s face was slightly heavy, wanting to ask him what his future plans were, would he stay abroad forever, but knowing that these questions were meaningless because he could not possibly know the answer at this point.
As for words of comfort, there was no need to say anything.
Finally, Alex Brown broke the silence: “I’m not sure when I’ll return, so I’ll have to bother you with a lot of things.”
Even if Alex Brown did not mention it, Joe Wright would have done so.
“With me, no one can hurt them.”
They men look at each other calmly, while outside the door of the room, Emma Rosy has tears running down her face.
