There were only two of them left in the ward.
"Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water..."
"I'm not thirsty. Sit down!" Cecil pointed to the stool and said.
Rosa sat down in confusion.
Cecil frowned and sighed deeply.
He didn't know how to start.
"What's wrong?" Rosa frowned and asked softly.
Throughout the afternoon, he was fine and seemed very happy.
But something seemed wrong ever since their dinner.
Until now...
"Sister, you broke up with Mr. Wright, didn't you?" After a long silence, he finally spoke.
Rosa was stunned. She didn't expect him to ask this.
She nodded.
"Mr. Wright has left school. I already know!" Cecil lowered his head and said in a somewhat disappointed voice.
He preferred Mr. Wright.
"How did you know?" Rosa was a little confused. She had never mentioned this before.
"I have a computer..." Cecil groaned.
Rosa was relieved. On Redwood Academy's homepage, there was introductions written for every teacher.
He could check whether Andy was there or not.
"Cecil, it's impossible for Mr. Wright and I. I already told you, he and I..."
"Sister, are you dating uncle?" Suddenly, Cecil interrupted her.
Rosa was shocked and her whole body suddenly stiffened.
"Are you dating uncle?" He asked again.
"No, of course not!" Rosa answered in a panic.
But she was inexplicably flustered.
Why did he ask this?
Could it be that he had noticed something?
Cecil frowned. "Really?"
"Of course, of course!" Rosa was very uncomfortable. "Why, why did you ask?"
"Just now when we had dinner, the waitress said that uncle was your boyfriend. I denied it but the waitress didn't believe me!" Cecil frowned.
"Waitress?"
Rosa bit her lips. It was when they were ordering the dishes.
Henry kept asking her about her favourite dishes. Everything they ordered was according to her taste.
The waitress next to them looked at her with envy.
Such considerate actions indeed seemed like they were a lovey-dovey couple.
"I knew that girl was talking nonsense. How could you be dating uncle?"
Cecil laughed all of a sudden.
He felt that he was overthinking.
Rosa looked at him cautiously and pretended to ask in a casual manner, "You... don't like him?"
"That's not true!" Cecil answered directly. "I like uncle very much. He treats us very well!"
Rosa was about to let out a sigh of relief.
But unexpectedly, Cecil spoke again.
"But..." Cecil frowned. "But, he is an elder. He is Miranda's uncle and also our uncle. How could..."
He didn't finish his words.
But the meaning was very obvious.
Uncle and niece.
This relationship was absurd!
Rosa nodded. She looked very uncomfortable as she agreed, "Yes, you're right!"
She knew what Cecil was thinking.
Just like in the beginning, she originally viewed her uncle as an elder.
If they suddenly change their relationship, it would be hard for him to accept it.
"Sister, in the future, you should stay away from uncle. It's not that I'm afraid of what others might say, but uncle is engaged, isn't he?" Cecil said hurriedly.
Henry was an important figure.
His disappearance on his engagement day had been all over the news for a while.
It was impossible for him not to know!
This was what he had been worrying about.
He didn't want his sister to be misunderstood.
And he didn't want his sister to have a bad reputation.
Rosa nodded and said, "Okay, I got it!"
"By the way, sister... I want to be discharged from the hospital!" Cecil looked at her and said.
"Uh... why?"
"I don't want to owe uncle too much. The VIP ward I live in is worth thousands of dollars per day. With special care and a single meal, it costs ten thousand dollars a day. Sister, we can't afford it!"
Rosa bit her lip. He was right. She couldn't afford it at all.
"Sister, let's get out of the hospital. In the past, every time I had an attack, we went back after taking a look. Why did we wait so long this time?" Cecil frowned.
Rosa looked at him, not knowing what to say.
She indeed had a hidden intention.
She wanted to take this opportunity to fully cure her brother.
But...
He was right. She couldn't afford to pay him back this favour!
"Alright, I'll ask the doctor tomorrow!"
"Okay, you should go home and rest. You have to go to school tomorrow!" Cecil said hurriedly.
"Okay!" Rosa left the ward.
She looked a bit down.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
She was at a loss.
"Let's go!" The man hadn't left. He had been sitting on the chair outside, waiting patiently for her.
Rosa looked at him and nodded.
The man stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and walked to the elevator.
Along the way, Rosa kept silent.
Henry tilted his head to look at her. He noticed she was in a bad mood, so he did not ask further.
They can talk about it after getting home.
However, as soon as he got home, Rosa's first sentence almost made his blood boil.
"Uncle... I want to move away!"
"Say it again!" The man's voice suddenly became cold.
Rosa shrank and moved closer to the wall.
"What did Cecil say to you?" His voice was very cold as he questioned her.
Rosa bit her lip and thought for a while. She was forced to look up at him and said, "Cecil is right. You have a fiancee, and our relationship is taboo. Besides... right now I'm living off you, you're also paying for Cecil's medical fees, I feel as if I'm..."
