Hearing his choked sob, Emma Rosy looked away, trying to tell him not to make a fool of himself, that she was not crying for him, but her throat felt like it was clogged with a piece of soaked cotton, and she could not make a sound.
The treatment went well so that we could see each other again, but what if it didn’t?
“If there is an accident, perhaps, I will become the brightest star in the starry sky, forever there, watching over you and Keira.”
Following his line of sight, Emma Rosy saw the stars shining brightly under the shadowed clouds in the distance.
There was a long silence again.
Keira rolled over in bed and murmured something that seemed to be calling for her father.
Alex Brown looked back and sighed deeply: “Why did I agree to the divorce in the first place? It must have been very hard for you two to live together … I’m sorry that I caused you.”
There are always countless regrets in a person’s life, standing in the future when looking back, always ask yourself why, yet once made a decision without the slightest hesitation.
“Didn’t you also say that Keira has Grandpa and Joe to take care of her, and she’s living a good life.” Emma Rosy shrugged off her hand, her lips hankering for a light smile: “As for me, although I owe Keira a lot, I have gained a lot in the process of making amends.”
Take a deep breath and turn to face Alex Brown: “In short, we will continue to move forward in the original direction, and you can go about your life without fear. If you don’t want to come back, find a nice girl abroad, get married and have children for the rest of your life, as long as …”
As long as you live.
The second half of the sentence is hidden in the heart, Emma Rosy covered her mouth slowly squatted, shoulders trembling, sobbing.
She still loves him that much, even if she was sent to prison by his own hands, displaced by him, falling from heaven to hell, she would still hold on to her bruised body and stagger towards him.
“Emma …”
Alex Brown half-kneeled in front of her, cupped her face with both hands, and finally came over and kissed it deeply.
The moonlight shone through the window, spilling the silver glow all over the floor as he knelt there, as if proposing.
Emma Rosy woke up in her bedroom bed, vaguely remembering that she had cried too much during the night and ended up in a daze, leaning into Alex Brown’ arms and relying on him to bring her back.
She was not a three-year-old like Keira, she thought now. She didn’t know how she was going to face Alex Brown later.
Deliberately stalling for time, she washed up slowly and chose her clothes carefully before going to the next door and knocking.
But after knocking, the door opened up, and there was no sign of Alex Brown.
Has he left?
Keira woke up, how will she explain? And how … would she face her feelings?
In the blink of an eye, a million thoughts came to mind, but with one purpose in mind: she wanted to see Alex Brown!
After a brief daze, she immediately ran towards the end of the corridor, no matter where Alex Brown had gone, even if he had already boarded the plane, she still had to go after him to hear a goodbye.
The maid had taken the carpet off the stairs early in the morning, so she was unprepared and slipped on the last few steps and fell straight down!
Master Wright heard the sound, came out of the living room and saw the scene, scared blood pressure rose.
When Master Wright shouted, the housekeepers and maids gathered from everywhere and helped Emma Rosy to get up.
“Miss, why don’t you ask Dr. Kim to examine you?” The housekeeper suggested cautiously.
Master Wright nodded repeatedly, “Yes, a fall from such a high place must be examined carefully, call!”
While watching the crowd get busy, Emma Rosy casually waved her hand and leaned down to pull up her trouser leg, and blood was bubbling on her tiny knee.
“It’s only bleeding here, just put some medicine on it, no need to bother Dr. Kim,” she said, straightening her jeans and limping towards the door.
Master Wright was already displeased when he heard that she refused to see a doctor, and when he saw that she was still going out, he hurried to stop her, his tone was angry: “Where are you going when you’re so hurt? Go back to your room and get your medicine!”
Emma Rosy stopped, but did not turn around, thinking that Alex Brown is probably on a plane, going to the next life, his voice could not help but choke: “I go to him, he can not just leave me and my daughter …”
Master Wright was stunned, then understood, no wonder she was furtively running around and accidentally falling, it turned out to be for Alex Brown again.
He originally disapproved of his granddaughter’s sinful relationship, but the relationship is something that no outsider can interfere with.
Moreover, although Alex Brown has done a lot of wrongdoings, but now he treats Emma and Keira with love and affection, and the parties involved have readily accepted it, so there is no need for him, an old man, to stop it.
He sighed helplessly and kindly informed, “He took Keira out early in the morning to play.”
Emma Rosy looked back incredulously: “What did you say? He didn’t leave?”
At this moment, however, she couldn’t laugh or feel relaxed at all.
Alex Brown was taking Keira out, and she wasn’t on the itinerary, was he so intent on distancing himself from her? But last night, he had kissed her involuntarily.
Fear was like a net into which Emma Rosy had fallen, and there was nothing left to do.
As she wept, she took out her cell phone and dialed Alex Brown over and over again, but there was no answer on the other end. She finally had to contact Joe Wright, crying and begging him to show up quickly and take her to Alex Brown.
The Master Wright next to her watched this scene quietly, except for the heartache and sigh, but also can not do anything.
Fortunately, Joe Wright soon returned from the office and told Emma Rosy that he had seen Alex Brown and Keira when he passed by the park.
They went looking for them, and there they were, in the park not far from the old house, Keira playing with children and Alex Brown sitting on a stone bench for company.
“See, I told you, my dad is handsome and taller than your dad!” Keira points to Alex Brown and shows off to the little boy across the table.
From a distance, Alex Brown didn’t hear the children’s conversation, but spotted Emma Rosy and Joe Wright hurrying in.
Seeing Emma Rosy’s eyelids red and swollen, and her cheeks still bearing the traces of undried tears, his chest ached and he questioned Joe Wright with his gaze.
“What are you looking at him for, I’m here for you!” Emma Rosy yelled at him, “Why didn’t you tell him you were going out? Even if you didn’t want to take me with you, you should have let me know!”
Alex Brown hurriedly found a tissue and handed it to her, slightly aggrieved, explaining, “Yesterday, I took care of Keira, I was afraid that you did not have enough rest and wanted to let you sleep more, so I did not disturb …”
“Now that I’ve had enough rest, are you satisfied?!”
Seeing Emma Rosy crying, Keira also dropped the little boy and ran over to comfort. The mundane scene of a family reunion fell on Joe Wright’s eyes, but it was like a distant dream.
He said he had to go first, and sat back in the car, when a blinding light suddenly flashed in the rearview mirror.
Follow the light to find the source, but saw a man hiding in the green belt holding a camera.
Seeing the hiding place exposed, the man clutching the camera, fled in haste.
A paparazzo?
Joe Wright’s heart jumped and he turned his car around to catch up with him.
In order to hide his target, the doggy pulled over to the side of the road a few dozen meters away. When he ran out of breath and got into the car, Joe Wright had already walked slowly to the front, propped his hands on the hood, and surveyed him leisurely.
“Knock, knock, knock–”
Knuckles snapping on the hood, Joe Wright hooked his lips: “This broken car, two hundred thousand is enough, right?”
This means he wants to smash the car!
The man wanted to resist to the death, but when he saw this, he had to crawl down with his hands clasped together and begged, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, brother, don’t bother with me, …”
No time to waste with him, Joe Wright extended his hand, hooked the finger.
“This …” man shrank back, rather reluctantly: “Look, I am also for work, … I promise not to send, okay? ”
“Three seconds to consider. One.”
“Don’t be like this big brother, it’s all for life …”
“Two.”
“You just let me keep one, just to be able to deliver …”
“Three.”
“You take it!”
The man resigned himself to taking out the camera from the car window, watching Joe Wright delete the memory cleanly, his heart was dripping with blood.
After sending Joe Wright away in a coy manner, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
