Chapter 1147 Change (4)

"Hmm?" He took the cigarette down and asked back, "Have you eaten yet?"

Rose narrowed her eyes and leaned against the headboard. "Of course I have. Haven't you? It's not good for your stomach to skip breakfast, especially since you just had surgery at the hospital not too long ago."

Rose was really angry now. He didn't take care of himself properly, and he even got a stomach ulcer last time. What was he planning to do this time?

Elliot standing in front of the window slowly focused his gaze as a cold wind blew by, clearing his mind a bit. Hearing Rose's words and her slight anger and blame in them inexplicably made him feel better.

"Are you concerned about me?" He asked.

The anger on Rose's face disappeared instantly, but she wanted to deny it. "How could that be..."

After saying that, she only heard a faint magnetic low laugh coming from the other end of the phone call which seemed almost imperceptible; for a moment, she thought she had misheard it.

"I'll go eat later. You take care of your child at home and don't run around." He reminded her gently over the phone call which made her blush with embarrassment.

Elliot couldn't hide his smile as he saw Rose hang up quickly; did she seem shy?

This little episode made him feel much better as he stood quietly by the window for a while, but when he turned around to look at old Mr. Harper lying on the bed, all those good feelings vanished into thin air.

When Elliot returned to his villa that night, it was already around ten thirty in evening; passing by Rose's room next door, he saw light leaking out from under her door, so he hesitated before knocking on it, finally unable to resist himself any longer.

The knocking sound sounded somewhat abrupt in deep silence late at night. Rose had just finished showering and came out blow-drying her hair. When she walked over there and opened the door, she met the eyes of the man who returned home late tonight.

For an instant, she seemed to see through something hidden deep inside his eyes.

"You're back," Rose said with a smile. "Is your grandfather okay?"

Elliot's eyes softened as he leaned against the doorway, facing her. "He's stable for now. He needs a bone marrow transplant, but we haven't found a suitable donor yet."

Rose furrowed her eyebrows slightly. "A bone marrow transplant? Is it that serious?" She knew Mr. Harper had leukemia, but she didn't realize how severe it was until now.

Didn't you find it out before? "Rose was a bit confused. If it was leukemia, there would always be some symptoms revealed, but she had never heard Elliot mention it before.

"He kept it from us," Elliot said, seeming to want to change the subject. "Why are you still up so late?"

His gaze swept over Rose and he suddenly swallowed hard.

Rose had just finished showering and was wearing only a robe with wet hair wrapped in a towel on her shoulder. She raised one hand to hold the towel in place, revealing her neck and some exposed skin below it where water droplets were sliding down seductively.

Elliot couldn't help feeling flustered and looked away.

He seemed to be losing his self-control when facing Rose, or maybe deep down inside he just binged himself do it.
