"Cecil, take a break from the computer. Go to bed early!"
Rosa said as she walked into his room and handed him a glass of water along with seven pills.
Every time Cecil had a meal, he had to take a bunch of pills.
It pained her to see him like this, but she had no other choice.
"Okay!" After sitting in front of the computer for a whole day, Cecil felt very tired as well.
At this moment, he was already quite sleepy.
Therefore, he didn't push on. He simply took the medicine and then lay down with Rosa's help.
"Sleep early. The doctor said that you should rest!" Rosa quickly reminded him.
Cecil lay on the bed and looked at her. He chuckled and said, "I know. It's hard for me to stay awake after taking these medicines anyway. These pills make me drowsy!"
"It's so that you can have a good rest!" Rosa said and turned off the computer.
Then, she tidied up his table.
"Good night. I'll make you some sandwich tomorrow morning." Rosa said with a chuckle.
"Okay!" Cecil liked the sandwiches she made very much, they were more delicious than the ones sold outside.
Rosa chuckled and turned off the lights.
Then, she closed the door and went back to her room.
The clock on the table showed that it was almost 10 o'clock.
She was a little sleepy, but she wasn't done with her homework yet.
So, she decided to finish writing the last section before sleeping.
It was so that she wouldn't overthink in bed.
However, she held her pen and stared at the paper for a while.
Her mind was filled with memories of the time she spent with Henry recently.
She frowned and knocked her own head.
"Ah, Rosa, what are you thinking?"
Could it be that she's falling for her uncle?
No way!
They didn't belong in the same world.
Just like what Paige said.
How long could his feelings for her last?
One month?
Or...
She didn't dare to think about it.
She took a deep breath and got up. Then, she went to the kitchen to get herself a glass of cold water.
After drinking the cold water, she calmed down a bit.
However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Rosa was stunned. "Who could it be?"
She looked through the peephole.
She was stunned by what she saw.
Henry!
How was he here?
Rosa's heart was pounding out of her chest.
Her heartbeat was so fast that she didn't know what to do.
It wasn't excitement. She was afraid.
She blinked her eyes in disbelief.
Was she hallucinating?
She looked out again and her hands flew to her chest. She wasn't hallucinating.
"Thud, thud, thud!" The knocking sound became louder and louder.
Rosa was a little scared. Cecil had just fallen asleep.
If he woke up and saw him, he would start to overthink.
However, she didn't dare to open the door.
She had a feeling that if she opened the door, something terrible would happen.
"Thud, thud, thud!" The knocking sound got louder and louder.
Rosa began to pace around, not knowing what to do.
"No, I can't Cecil hear it, otherwise..."
After taking a deep breath, she gathered the courage to open the door.
It was late autumn, but he was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt.
His collars were unbuttoned, and his loose tie was crooked on one side.
Even his bangs were slightly messy because of the wind.
The man who had always looked clean and tidy appeared in front of her looking like a mess.
Rosa frowned in disbelief and said timidly, "Uncle... how did you find this place? And isn't it your mother's birthday today?"
Only after her phone was repaired that she saw Miranda's missed calls.
That was when she called her.
She found out that it was her grandmother's birthday.
A lot of guests were invited to their house.
But she didn't expect him to suddenly appear at her place.
She never told Miranda where she lived!
For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
The man was wearing a suit jacket, and his dark eyes were fixed on Rosa's surprised expression.
The corners of his lips lifted slightly, revealing an evil grin.
Then, he dropped himself into her arms.
Rosa let out a shocked gasp from the sudden weight.
His weight was too heavy for her.
Her legs trembled slightly and was about to fall down, but she managed to hold on.
"Uncle... Uncle..."
She called him a few more times, but there was still no response.
Helplessly, she stretched out her hand and leaned over to lift his head...
However, as soon as she saw his handsome features, she paused for a moment.
The distance between them was not more than a finger away.
They could even feel each other's breathing.
It was the first time she had looked at him so closely.
His fine features...
He was truly a sight to behold.
With such a perfect outline, paired with his high nose bridge and thin lips, he was like a Greek statue that came to life.
No wonder Grace said that he could make women go crazy for him.
Rosa didn't think much about it. She frowned and gritted her teeth as she helped him to her room.
Then, she closed the door.
Her actions were like a sneaky thief. She carefully shut the door.
After that, she closed the curtains.
She then turned on the lights and looked over.
Her bed was tiny. It was only one and a half meters wide.
