On the hospital bed, Keira’s eyes are slightly closed, drowsy, and her skin is unhealthily flushed.
Dr. Kim is still busy at the bedside, Emma Rosy can’t get close to the bed, and she can’t help but think about it in anxiety.
Keira’s fever had been so sudden that she had cried for a long time before going to bed last night, but had not caught a cold or shown any other signs of illness. She had just fallen ill, and the news that David Brown had fallen ill seemed too much of a coincidence when you think about it.
She remembered that several times before, when Alex Brown had an attack, Keira would always have a high fever, and afterwards people teased them about their father-daughter connection. So now, could Alex Brown be having another health problem?
The more Emma Rosy thought about it, the more she panicked, but she was too busy to care for Keira, even if she was worried about Alex Brown.
Dr. Kim finished her examination and interrupted Emma Rosy’s speculation: “Follow the same method as before, first wipe her body to cool her down physically and try not to use any medication.”
Emma Rosy frowned with concern and took a few steps forward: “Is it okay? Her face is red like this, and she is not clear, if we don’t cool her down in time, what if it triggers leukemia …”
Keira’s leukemia had just been brought under control, and Emma Rosy was afraid that she would be tormented by the disease again.
Dr. Kim, while organizing the equipment, said reassuringly, “Occasional fever in children is actually the body’s immune system fighting against external viruses, not exactly a bad thing. Let’s observe and see, she will be fine if she can survive this night.”
After hearing Dr. Kim’s words, everyone was reassured, and after making an appointment to check on her in the morning, Master Wright ordered the housekeeper to send her away.
Emma Rosy saw this and urged Joe Wright to go out for an appointment.
“Ms. Taylor must be full of joy waiting for you, you suddenly miss the appointment, even if she did not say anything, her heart will be sad.”
Joe Wright looked a little hesitant, but said very firmly: “I do not rest assured Keira , or stay to take care of.”
“But you are not needed here.” Seeing that she couldn’t get through to him, Emma Rosy looked slightly anxious.
Was she so eager to push him away? Afraid of his entanglement, so impatient to send him to another woman?
Joe Wright suddenly became rebellious and said coldly, “The date has been cancelled, I’ll just make it up to her next time.”
Emma Rosy was choked, frozen in place a bit at a loss, but Master Wright reprimanded in a deep voice: “She is a good girl, good for you before … Emma and I are with Keira, there are so many maids at home, you stay can not help . A man has to be true to his word, can’t let a girl be sad for you.” After a pause, he added: “Since some things have been decided, we must bravely go on, otherwise it is equal to waste the courage to make the choice in the first place.”
Joe Wright agreed to meet with Eva Taylor, willing to exchange numbers and agreed to the next date, not only because of the appreciation of Eva Taylor’s character, to a large extent is also to force himself to let go of his obsession.
Today’s date, in fact, he has been hesitant for a long time, Keira’s illness is just a trigger. However, Master Wright’s words, like a bit of water in a cold sky, awakened the dreamer.
Since he had decided to give up the past, the last thing he should do in the future was to turn back.
“Grandpa, I understand.”
He went to the bedside, stroked Keira’s cheek, and told Emma Rosy to inform him immediately if anything new happened to Keira, then got up and left.
As the car drove out of the courtyard and away from the old house behind him, a new Chapter in Joe Wright’s life began.
But at the moment, he couldn’t see it.
When he arrived at the appointment, Eva Taylor was waiting there, seemingly curious about the reason for his sudden change of mind, but afraid of offending him, after all, they had not known each other long, not yet familiar enough to ask each other about their privacy.
So Eva Taylor did not ask anything, quietly followed him all the way to lunch, and then came to the theater on the top floor of the mall.
When choosing a movie, Joe Wright expressed his opinion appropriately and bought many drinks and snacks according to Eva Taylor’s preferences, and performed perfectly in all aspects.
But despite being well taken care of, Eva Taylor still felt uncomfortable, because she found that throughout the date, Joe Wright was always smiling, but always showed distracted.
Did she behave badly and cause him to feel too bored? Or was she too noisy and annoying to him?
Eva Taylor couldn’t hide anything in her heart, and finally tugged on Joe Wright’s sleeve when the movie was in the middle.
“Are you … still busy? I’ve given you trouble, right?”
She was originally a girl with a bright smile, but at the moment she looked cautious, the corners of her mouth raised the arc is not quite natural.
Noticing that he had left her out, Joe Wright didn’t find another reason to be perfunctory, but told the truth.
Eva Taylor was aware of the relationship within the Wright Family long before the match, and naturally knew of Keira’s existence.
“You are her father, what if she wakes up and wants to find you? Let’s not watch the movie, you go home!”
“It’s okay, the others will take care of Keira , keep watching.” He moved over a bit and whispered.
She continued to insist: “No, you can’t leave your daughter behind because of me, you have to watch it yourself, I’m leaving.”
Popcorn was shoved into Joe Wright’s arms, and Eva Taylor was about to get up with her milk tea.
Joe Wright subconsciously pulled her, after pulling the person back to his side.
“I’m afraid the old man will shut me out if I leave you in the middle of the day. And Keira has plenty of company, so don’t worry.”
So you’re afraid of being chastised by your elders?
Eva Taylor let out a giggle, and cunningly tilted her head: “Let’s go, I’ll take care of the storm for you!”
