A day has now passed, how could it be so fast that they didn’t even take a close look at each other.
The scythe-like curved moon hung high above, the color was a demonic dark red, there was no wind in the quiet forest, the world seemed to be magically still, only the sound of footsteps running alone remained.
She looked down and realized that the person running was herself.
Emma Rosy opened her eyes and saw Alex Brown standing motionless in the foggy distance with his back to her.
–Alex!
She shouted, and continued to run desperately, panting more and more rapidly, as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat. But even so chase, Alex Brown is still so far away, not a point closer.
She did not know when, the fog gradually cleared, the scene in front of her clear up. The figure also turned and faced her.
She curled her lips and was about to extend her hand towards him when she suddenly realized that his face was taken up by black hair, exactly the same as when his back was turned to her.
“Ah!!!”
Her heart was viciously clutched, she couldn’t control the miserable scream, snapped open her eyes, then saw the room full of sunlight.
Gripping the covers with both hands, she tentatively turned her eyes, only to see Alex Brown gazing at her with a sweet face.
The scene from the dream resurfaced and she rolled over and hugged Alex Brown, her voice trembling as if her throat was being strangled: “I was scared to death, dreaming… so scary, really scary…”
Alex Brown patted her on the back, warm voice comfort: “I guessed it, did not wait to call you, you woke up. Did you get too tired last night, huh?”
“Nasty!”
As They of them scrambled apart, Keira had already pushed the door open and poked her head in: “You’re not up yet,”
Alex Brown and Emma Rosy looked at each other and both smiled awkwardly.
After all, she is a child, Keira did not care about it: “Aunt Taylor said Justin Davis came here and promised to take me to the show, do you want to go?”
“Justin Davis?”
Alex Brown looked at Emma Rosy in confusion.
“Justin Davis is a popular iconic star, just played a supporting role in a children’s movie, and your baby girl is in love with him, obsessed with him.”
Deciding to support his daughter, Alex Brown wrapped his arms around Emma Rosy and nodded firmly, “In that case, yes, mommy and daddy will go with you!”
“Huh?”
At that, Keira did not look very happy and turned back to Eva Taylor and shook her head: “Aunt Taylor, they promised…”
They people in the room were confused, thinking, “Didn’t Keira come to invite them? Why does it seem like she wants them to say no again?
Furthermore, why was Eva Taylor standing outside the door, and how long had she been here anyway?
Looking at each other’s clothes, They hurriedly pulled up the covers and then greeted, “Eva , you’re here too, huh huh.”
Eva Taylor did not show her face, directly holding Keira to eat breakfast, before leaving threw down a sentence: “are adults, what is embarrassed, childish.”
Actually, the thing is this.
Eva Taylor took Keira to bed with her last night, and when she woke up in bed in the morning to brush Twitter, she happened to see the news that Justin Davis was coming to N City to promote his new movie, which was not far from the spa hotel, and after learning that Keira liked him, she suggested going to see the show.
In order to give Alex Brown and Emma Rosy more time to themselves, Eva Taylor did everything she could to get Keira to agree not to have her parents with her, but only if she told them herself.
Who knew that these two would be so ungrateful that they had to follow.
But when she thought about it, it was good to have everyone together so they could have some fun and not come back with red eyes like last night.
After breakfast, they set out, only to find that Justin Davis was more popular than expected, and the crowd in front of the open-air stage was so big that they couldn’t even squeeze in close.
Keira is short and looks even smaller in the middle of a crowd of crazy shouting fans. Joe Wright first held her in his arms, and when he saw that she couldn’t see with her neck up, he raised his hand and put her on his shoulder.
“Well, do you see it this time?” He held Keira steady and asked in a loud voice.
Keira exclaimed excitedly, “Yes! Wow, Justin Davis is a really handsome brother!
Alex Brown stood at the side and saw his daughter smiling happily on Joe Wright’s shoulder.
If he was healthy, he would be able to hold his daughter high and make her happy. But now, these hands can not even lift heavy things, and even yesterday, after his daughter fell asleep, he was not sure that he could safely take her back to her room.
Emma Rosy has no interest in being a celebrity and is trying to shield Alex Brown from the rush of others when she notices him staring at his hands with a sad face and seems to understand something.
“Gee, that guy singing is Justin Davis, right? He doesn’t seem particularly handsome, just ordinary, not as good as you at all.” She came to Alex Brown’ side and intended to comfort him.
But this comment was actually heard by the fanatic fan next to her.
“Who are you to say that Justin Davis is not handsome? What’s wrong with you?”
“If you don’t like it, don’t come to see it, who begged you?”
“Do you know how popular Justin Davis is now? Do you know how hard he’s working? You don’t even know him, so why are you dismissing him based on his looks?”
The crowd had gathered, and the intention was to fight, not expecting that an unintentional remark would cause an uproar.
In the heat of the moment, Emma Rosy grabbed Alex Brown and ran.
The fans were soon left behind as they crowded in and out of the “circle”, finally getting some fresh air, Emma Rosy and Alex Brown kept panting as they braced their legs.
It was definitely not possible to go back, so after a short rest, they resigned themselves to wandering around.
They were having a good time when they turned their heads and saw a girl pointing a camera at them.
Emma Rosy was alerted, and before Alex Brown could react, she jumped out of the gallery alone and rushed to the girl.
“Are you filming us?” She questioned with a sullen face.
The other party, a young girl, was slightly timid: “Yes… I’m a photography enthusiast and I’ve read about you online, so…”
“Who gave you permission to take pictures?” Emma Rosy interrupted sternly and stepped forward to grab the camera: “Have you asked our wishes? You paparazzi, you don’t have any professional ethics!”
“Hey, what are you doing?”
The girl held the camera in her arms, and her face showed her anger: “If you don’t want to take pictures, just tell me to delete it, why grab my camera?”
Emma Rosy stared at her with cold eyes: “Then delete it!”
At this point, Alex Brown finally understood what had happened, and put Emma Rosy behind him, apologizing to the other side. After all, her actions were so unreasonable that he could understand, but others could not.
The girl deleted the photos while complaining angrily: “What’s the big deal, it’s just Miss Wright Family, to be so condescending…”
Alex Brown smiled awkwardly and explained, “We’ve been snapped by many paparazzi before, we’re so annoyed that we get nervous when we encounter similar incidents, sorry about that.”
Said, helplessly looked back at Emma Rosy.
When they went down the mountain, it was already afternoon, and they just talked by phone. Keira was hungry. Joe Wright and Eva Taylor were taking her to dinner in the restaurant. There was a meeting in the afternoon, and they planned to queue up again after dinner.、
Eric Chan and Tina Everard, however, were on their best behavior and were already waiting at the bottom of the hill.
Before they approached, they saw two people with red faces as if they were arguing about something.
“… doesn’t do things like that, it’s bad!”
“I have been with Mr. Brown for many years, no matter public or private affairs, every thing is handled properly, what are you qualified to blame?”
“How dare you say ‘proper’, have you ever studied? Have you studied? You didn’t apply for a job at Brown Group right out of elementary school, did you?”
“I don’t need to report my resume to you, so I hope you can talk about the facts, not personal attacks!”
They of them were bickering, but when they noticed Alex Brown approaching, they immediately shut up together.
Alex Brown looked around and wondered, “What’s all the fuss about?”
Seeing this, Emma Rosy came out to intervene: “Dr. Everard is a girl, so if there is any unpleasantness, you have to be humble.”
She went to take Tina Everard’s hand again, but it was avoided.
“It’s okay. I need to make a reservation for lunch and he had to wait for you guys to pick the restaurant yourselves, just a difference of opinion.” Tina Everard glanced at Emma Rosy’s hand, which was resting in mid-air, and turned to leave.
Alex Brown took the hand, smiled reassuringly at Emma Rosy, and then looked deep into Eric Chan’s eyes, gesturing for him to join him for lunch.
Although some words were not said, but he knew in his heart.
Tina Everard’s upbringing, would never shout in the street because of this small matter of booking a restaurant, and Eric Chan’s character is still quite mild, and not to be angry.
He noticed something strange and found Eric Chan alone in the evening to ask the real situation.
Eric Chan pursed his lips and slowly said, “There was a problem at the foreign hospital, and Dr. Everard criticized me for not solving it properly.”
As long as there is money, there is nothing that can’t be solved. Alex Brown put his arms up: “And?”
“Huh?!”
Eric Chan was shocked and shook his head to say no more, but received a warning glare.
He was scratching his head for a new excuse when Keira came running over, hugging Alex Brown’ lap to take him to the chess room.
“Daddy, come and help, Mommy lost a lot of money, and Daddy Joe and Aunt Taylor won it all!”
After looking Eric Chan up and down, he finally picked up Keira and went back the way he came.
Behind him, Eric Chan patted his chest and took a deep breath.
Happy times are always short, and the third day passed quietly in the midst of a lively and joyful gathering.
Late at night, Emma Rosy sat in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the room, looking at the Milky Way in the distance, with a few beer cans scattered around her feet and another one in her hand.
For the first time, Alex Brown did not stop her from drinking, but only accompanied her silently.
The winter that belongs to them may really be coming.
“Alex Brown…”
Emma Rosy suddenly spoke, but her voice was so soft that it seemed to float in mid-air, passing with the cold wind.
There were too many words to command, too much to say, too many promises to make, but in truth, none of them needed to be said.
She tilted her head and smiled brightly at him, and then drank the entire can of wine in one go.
The person in front of her eyes became a blur, she grabbed his arm and slowly leaned over.
After a long time, his reclusive voice rang out.
“Emma?”
There was no response.
When Tina Everard and Eric Chan arrived, Emma Rosy was already asleep on the bed, and Alex Brown was half-kneeling beside it, kissing her almost reverently on the lips.
“Emma, goodbye, don’t wait for me.”
He whispered these words tenderly in her ear, and then rose decisively and walked out of the room in the first place.
In the lobby, Joe Wright, carrying the snack he bought for Keira, had just entered the elevator with one foot when he saw the three people coming out of the next elevator.
The other three, too, spotted him at the same time.
Tina Everard and Eric Chan automatically backed away and went out to the car first, while Alex Brown and Joe Wright stood opposite each other, both with stony faces.
“About to leave?”
“Yeah. Don’t tell Keira yet.” Alex Brown requested as his eyes passed over the lunchbox in his hands.
Joe Wright nodded, “Understood.”
Before entering the elevator, Joe Wright suddenly turned his head and said solemnly, “You will always be Keira’s father, take care of yourself for her sake….”
Alex Brown stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around, and continued to stride forward a few seconds later.
Early the next morning.
Emma Rosy opened her eyes to a gloomy world outside her window, and before she could wake up from her trance-like dream, there was a knock on her door.
Joe Wright and Eva Taylor stood in the doorway, their faces were heartbroken, and Keira , whom they were holding, was crying.
“Mommy, Daddy’s gone!”
Keira stretched her arms out and stumbled to the bed, flinging herself into her arms.
She stroked Keira’s back: “Daddy’s gone to get cured, and when he’s cured, he’ll be back in good health.”
She was as calm as she had ever been during this parting.
With Joe Wright looking on worriedly, she gathered all her belongings, picked up Keira and got into the car to go home.
