Sky, who was standing by her grandfather's hospital bed, also looked at Rose. Their eyes met for a second in the air, and Rose moved away from her sight and hid her surprise.
Although she did not know how Sky knew about his grandfather's hospitalization, Sky was filial to visit her Grandpa.
"I heard that Grandpa was ill, so I came to visit him." Sky explained.
"Great." Rose said nothing more. "Have some chats. I'll wash the fruit."
"Rose, I went to a meeting in your company and asked Matthew to let you come back and continue to work on the waterfront hotel project, since you were the lead designer at the beginning, but he told me that your grandfather was sick and you couldn't come back...
He didn't say it on purpose, he just wanted to help you refuse me."
Sky didn't want Rose to blame Matthew for something.
"I'm not that stingy."
Rose went on to wash the fruit.
Sky looked at Rose's back and had mixed feelings.
Grandpa stretched out his hand and pulled Sky, "Sky, sit down."
"Grandpa, how are you?" Sky recovered and sat down and asked, "What's wrong?"
"When you left, I fainted. Rose and Bright brought me to City H for tests, but the results haven't been out." Grandfather laughed and said, "I am an old bone now. It is normal to have some healthy problems. I know myself well, and it would be all right. They are too fussy and insisted that I should be hospitalized. Lying here every day with nothing to do makes me feel more upset than working. It's just like spending money and while getting into trouble..."
Grandpa was complaining, but actually, he was showing off, showing off how nice his granddaughter and grandson-in-law were to him.
Sky smiled, "Grandpa, Rose wants you to be good. When you get well, let's go to climb mountain together. The scenery on the mountain is wonderful."
"Good." Grandfather nodded and said, "Sky, I did not regard you as an outsider. In my heart, you are my grandson just like Rose. I want you to smile more and be happy."
"Grandpa, don't worry about me. You must get better soon." Sky knew that Grandpa wanted him to forget Rose and stop trapping himself in the past.
"I will." Grandpa nodded, "I want to see Rose and Bright's wedding ceremony, and I want to see you find your happiness, so that I can go to see your grandmother with peace."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about! When Rose came out with the washed apples, she heard what Grandpa said, which made her very sad. "Bright and I will ask the best doctor to cure you. You'll live for a long time. Grandpa, don't say that again."
"Yes, the medical science is so advanced now. Just rest assured." Sky also comforted Grandfather, but he did not ignore Rose's sad eyes.
"Well, well, I will live for a long time."
Rose peeled the apple and cut it into pieces. Grandpa asked Sky to eat the apple.
After a while, the nurse came to give Grandpa an intravenous drip. Sky got up and said goodbye to Grandpa, "Grandpa, I have to go back first. I will visit you when I am free."
"Yes, thank you Sky."
"Could you see me off?" Sky extended an invitation to Rose.
Rose could not refuse. He was coming to see her grandfather after all, so she sent him to the hospital room.
"I'll walk you down. I have something for Dr. Gray."
Rose sent Sky out of the inpatient department. After sending Sky away, she turned around and went to the outpatient building. Only a few meters away, she saw Sophie standing on the stairs.
She might have seen her with Sky.
She stood there, with her belly bulging, and a checklist in her hand. Her eyes fixed on Rose like two sharp swords that were about to cut her to pieces.
Rose seemed not to see Sophie, and was going to go over her.
"Rose, I'm not going to throw in the towel." Sophie said as Rose walked over her.
"Sophie, now that you're a mother. Be nice, just for the sake of your child." Rose reminded her, "Is winning or losing more important to you than having a baby?"
"Because of you, my child will be born fatherless and I lost my husband! Now it is more important for me to win. As long as I win, then I will get everything."
"It can't go back to the way it was." Rose shattered her illusion, "and these are all what you have sowed. You are hoisted by your own petard. Sophie, take care of yourself."
"Rose, don't be smug! You can't have what I don't have. I will show Sky that I am the one who loves him most." Sophie was still so stubborn "You're not going to take him away."
"I don't want to waste time on you." Rose did not want to say much, and walked away.
As soon as she left, Sophie crumpled the checklist into a ball of paper and was furious, which made her abdomen ache a bit.
