It took her a lot of effort to shower Jennifer, and it took her all her strength to move Jennifer from the bathroom to the bed. She was having such a high fever that Rose did not dare to sleep. After putting a cold towel on her head, Rose yawned and went into the bathroom to look at the clothes she was wearing.
She pinched her nose and looked at the stinky business suit, thinking that she should just throw it away. However, when she looked at the label at the back, she took a deep breath. The price of this suit was enough for her to buy clothes for half a year. She better not threw it away, it could be worn again after washing it.
The cool towel placed on Jennifer's forehead intermittently stimulated her nerves.
When she thought of the entanglement between her and Hans all these years, she felt more and more like she was in a dream and she had lost her rationality. She indulged herself in a half-dream state and repeatedly had the same dream.
It started with what happened just now, where he left indifferently, disregarding her safety.
Then the scene changed.
At the edge of the cliff, he watched her fall into the abyss coldly and he left determinedly.
"Hans... Han... Hans..."
When Rose returned to the bed with a new towel, she heard Jennifer mumbling. She couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you still thinking about Hans when you are running such high fever?"
She was Jennifer's classmate in university. They had the same major, lived in the same dormitory, and joined the same company after they graduated. She witnessed Jennifer who went from a lively girl to Secretary Jennifer who was sharp and rational at work. She also witnessed Jennifer full of expectations of Hans only to have her hopes shattered into pieces.
The broken cell phone at the bedside seemed to light up for a second, but the screen was too broken to see what was going on.
Rose changed the wet towel on her forehead and lay on her hand, staring at Jennifer's face. She had a lot of mixed feelings.
She used to envy Jennifer the most when she was in university.
Jennifer was beautiful, had a good temper, and she kept a low profile. She was polite to the people around her and wasn't arrogant at all. If her parents hadn't helped her move out when she graduated and bought her a limited edition white sports car as a graduation gift, no one would know that she was rich.
The thing that made her envious the most was that she had an older brother who always sent her many delicious and fun things, and the whole dormitory got to enjoy it with her.
Back then Rose didn't know that Jennifer's brother was actually Hans, and she also didn't know that Hans was not her biological brother.
She only remembered that every weekend, a lady would call out using a loudspeaker from downstairs, "Jennifer from room 408, your brother's gift has arrived. Come down and get it."
Then, everyone in the dormitory would rush down, trying to take a look at her mystery brother.
Although Jennifer kept a low profile, people could guess that her family was rich by the things she ate and the way she dressed. She even had a brother who was single. Based on Jennifer's appearance, the whole dormitory was looking forward to finally meeting him.
However, Hans never came in person. He always asked someone else to bring the things here. They would leave the box in the lobby without any messages in it.
However, the girls in the dormitory were not upset by it. After all, he was smart enough to send everything in quadruplicate. The girls would carry the boxes back to share the goods. There were many popular trinkets and imported snacks, just like a treasure box. It became something for the whole dorm to look forward to every week.
