Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 138

"Rosa, when mom and dad are old and grey, you must take care of Cecil!"

"I'm fine. Dad will earn more money so you can live better in the future!"

"Rosa, I'm sorry. Mom couldn't buy you a new textbook. I already don't have enough to buy medicine for Cecil!"

"Rosa, no matter what happens in the future, you must take your brother with you!"

The air was painted with the scent of blood...

Surrounded by sorrowful sobs...

"Rosa, keep it together. Your parents are gone now. Their last words were to take care of Cecil. You must never let anything happen to you! 

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open.

The man's slender figure emerged from the door and walked towards the bed in his slippers. Then, he sat down at the edge of the bed.

The person on the bed was sleeping soundly.

It seemed like she had not heard him enter the room.

"Mom, Dad..." Her soft cries pulled his gaze back onto her. She was frowning in her sleep as her fingers clenched tighter.

"Don't go... Mom, Dad... don't go..."

The voice of the person on the bed became more and more urgent.

Beads of sweat seemed to be forming on her forehead.

The man pursed his thin lips into a straight line and called out in a low voice, "Rosa, Rosa..."

The worried cry made Rosa open her eyes in a daze.

But as soon as she woke up, she was lying on the bed in a trance.

However, Henry could clearly see the painful trauma in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" He brushed her drenched hair aside and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Rosa looked at him and was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.

"Uh... you're back? What time is it?"

She rubbed her head and wanted to sit up.

Henry helped her up and leaned against the bed.

"It's six o'clock. Aunt Abbie said that you've been sleeping since you came back in the afternoon. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Henry's brows were filled with worry.

"I might have caught a cold, and I'm feeling a little tired." She forced a smile.

He frowned and said, "You caught a cold? Have you seen a doctor?"

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she lightly said, "It's fine, I'm like this every time I catch a cold. I'll be fine after having some medicine."

The man's eyes were unhappy. "How can you take medicine randomly? Get up, I'll bring you to the hospital for a checkup!"

"No!" Rosa quickly refused.

Henry frowned slightly and stared at her without saying a word.

Rosa avoided his gaze and smiled awkwardly as she said, "I'm really fine. You also know that my exams are coming up. I'm under great pressure, so..."

"Where's that pressure coming from?"

Rosa raised her eyebrows and said, "Because I need to get the scholarship!"

This was the purpose of her coming to this school.

Otherwise, why would she come to this noble school?

Henry chuckled and brushed the strands of hair covering her face. Then, he said, "Take good care of yourself. I'll give you the scholarship, okay?"

Rosa pouted and said, "There you go again!"

This morning, they had just argued about how she should get home from school.

Now, were they going to argue again because of a scholarship?

Just like what his mother said...

She didn't want to be his parasite.

Henry looked into her eyes, and his smile grew deeper.

"You're throwing a tantrum again. I agreed that you can be independent, but the premise was that you must be healthy!"

Rosa quickly held his hand and said, "I'm not sick, I just did a lot of homework these days. After a few days I'll be fine!"

"Alright., if you take good care of your body for the next two days, I will keep my promise. Otherwise, you'll have to ask for leave and rest at home!" He said in a serious manner.

Rosa nodded and said, "Okay, got it!"

"Get up and eat. Aunt Abbie even said that you didn't eat your noodles at noon."

Although Rosa wanted to say that she was not hungry at all and that she just wanted to sleep...

She was still afraid that he would take her to the hospital.

Therefore, she forced herself up.

She could never go to the hospital with him.

When the two of them went downstairs, Aunt Abbie already finished serving the dishes.

She said she didn't like fish this afternoon, so the fish was finished by then.

In the evening, braised chicken, pork ribs, and other home-cooked dishes were served.

"Sister, are you okay?" Cecil was very worried about her.

But there was no elevator in this villa, so he couldn't go upstairs.

"I'm okay. I've done too much homework in the past two days. I haven't slept well."

"Then, madam, you have to drink more soup. It's good for your brain and health!" Aunt Abbie immediately filled a bowl for her.

At the same time, she filled a bowl for both Henry and Cecil.

Rosa stared at the soup and felt her stomach flip.

Yet, she gritted her teeth, picked up the bowl, and ate her food.

She couldn't show her disgust.

Otherwise, she would expose herself.

"Why do you keep eating rice? There are so many dishes!" Henry saw her only eating the rice, so he grabbed some meat for her.

As soon as Rosa saw the meat, she frowned.

She gave all the meat to Cecil.

"I've gained weight recently, so I shouldn't eat too much meat at night."

"How are you fat?" Henry frowned. She was obviously very slim, yet she still claimed to be fat!

"Madam, you're not fat at all. You're thinner than Miss Garcia!"

Rosa lowered her head and continued eating, feeling a little embarrassed. She then said, "I'm a girl too. I'd worry about my body image. I still think I should keep my figure."

Henry looked at her with a deep cold expression.

Rosa felt a pair of eyes staring at her.

Without even raising her head, she knew who the person was.

"My wife does not need to lose weight!" Henry handed her a piece of chicken thigh and demanded, "Eat it!"

Then he gave another chicken thigh to Cecil.

"Thank you."

Cecil was silent during the meal.

Rosa looked at the greasy chicken thigh in her bowl, and her stomach was about to flip.
