Nora briefed Rose on what had happened to her. Rose was shocked at the news too. Thank god there was no harm done!
"Who saved you then?" Rose was rather persistent.
While holding a cup of coffee, Nora was rather cornered by embarrassments. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Rose. The thing was, she found it rather difficult to speak all that she had went through.
She had to conceal some details because she was afraid that Rose might lecture her. She didn't want cause another trouble.
"Mr. Moore was there. He was the man who saved me." Nora and Oca had both agreed that the truth shall be kept between themselves.
Even though Rose was her bestie, Nora still chose to exclude her out in this secret.
"What a coincidence! That man seems to be everywhere!" Rose wondered why Mr. Moore was always around, "Had he got any inappropriate idea for you?"
"No, not at all. He just dropped me off at the hospital. That's all! I waited when the effects wore off, and then I stayed in the hospital for the night." To cover her little scheme, Nora began to sip her coffee, hoping that her nervousness would not be discovered.
"Well. The important thing is, nothing happened between you and him." Rose was relieved to hear Nora's account, "Honey, I must remind you, Mr. Moore is not Oscar! I don't care how similar they both look. Don't be foolish on him! You shouldn't see him again, now that you have decided to live with Allan. You must hide from him. It's the best that you and he never meet again. Because only then, you will not be seduced by him to do foolish things again!"
As she recalled, last time when she saw Oca, Nora even kissed him.
If Allan was there, no one would hear the end of it.
No man, who does not like to be cheated, shall not be crossed after seeing his wife having intimate activities with other man.
"I know!" Nora was burdened with heavy thoughts, "Rose, you are the only one I can trust with the secret. I didn't come back last night. Shall Allan ask about it, please say that I had went to your house!"
Fortunately, Allan was not home yesterday. He went on a business trip with his father to Europe, which seemed to have been for some activity with great importance.
If not, he would be anxious to find Nora staying outside all night.
As a matter a fact, she had thought about not seeing Oca again. But Oca was Hazel's boyfriend now. Many opportunities would be there for him to dine with them in the Way's. It wouldn't be an easy job to successfully avoid him.
She didn't have the guts to face Oca at the present. Guilt had filled her conscience. How she ought to face Hazel now?
"This is an accident. It will never happen again! I promise." Nora slowly stirred the coffee, "I should have gone with you. That would spare me of the rest!"
Now it was Rose's turn to feel guilty. She thought that she should have never left Nora there alone.
"This was not your fault! You shouldn't blame yourself." Nora gently shook her hands, "No one would think that Nathan was in City H. And even some of our classmates had connections with him. I must find out who is the brat behind this! Or I will not let it go."
If she couldn't find the man behind this, she might get into the same trouble next time.
"I will ask Bright to assist you." Rose recommended, "He should be able to find out."
"Actually, I don't want more people to know." Nora expressed her concerns.
"Don't worry. I will ask him to sign a confidentiality agreement. Besides, he was never a talkative type!" Rose tried to dissipate Nora's doubts.
Nora nodded, since she was also curious as what the result might prove to be.
"You look ill. I suggest you take a good rest back home and leave the matter to me." Rose finished the last sip of her coffee and said, "I will telephone you as soon as I heard any news.
