That night, he didn't return until it was late.
She'd never been able to sleep well.
She would wake up at even the slightest movement.
This was a habit that had been cultivated for many years.
Therefore, she knew when he came back.
However, she closed her eyes and didn't move.
The man first went to the other bathroom to wash up.
Then, he went to bed carefully.
He gently held her in his arms again and did not move.
Before long, she heard his steady breathing.
Her eyes opened in the dark night.
She felt the warm hands around her waist and his chest against her back.
For some reason, a teardrop rolled down her cheek...
—
The next morning...
When she woke up, he was still sleeping.
He held her waist tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go.
"Aren't you... going to work?"
He leaned against her shoulder with narrowed eyes and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "I will go to City R later. It will take two days."
City R was not far away from City C.
If they drove on the highway, they would arrive in about five hours.
"I can't come back tonight. Lock the door and be safe, okay?"
Although this place was safely guarded.
He was still worried about her safety.
"I know!" Rosa answered absent-mindedly.
Since he wouldn't be here for two days, she could move.
"I really want to keep you in my pocket and take you with me!" The man said sweetly.
Rosa blushed and was about to move away.
"Get... get up quickly. It's not good to waste time!"
She was afraid, especially afraid of his kind acts.
She was afraid of his gentleness.
And she was even more afraid...
That she'd grow dependent on him.
"You have to call me and send me a message. Do you understand? Don't turn off your phone!" He pulled her back and said seriously.
Rosa nodded casually and said dismissively.
"I'm about to leave... Why don't we..." He smiled, and his naughty hands began to wander.
Rosa quickly got up and frowned. "Don't be like this... Work... work is important!"
"No!" He grabbed her moving hands and leaned closer to her, smiling. "You... are more important!"
His words were too sweet.
Her defence started to crack, and she gave in to his sweet words.
And thus began their active morning session...
——————————————
The man dropped her off at school before leaving.
On the other hand, Rosa turned around and went to the teacher's office.
She handed the doctor's certificate to the teacher.
All the teachers knew about her situation.
Seeing the discharge certificate, they gave her two days off.
"Thank you, Mr. Carter!"
"By the way, Rosa, we're announcing the autumn trip today. Year one, two and three students are going to different places. Third-year students will be going to Macau for six days and five nights!
Rosa frowned. They need to go on a trip?
"Because it is organized collectively, the cost is relatively less. 10,000 dollars for each person!" The headteacher, Mr. Carter, said with a smile.
10,000 dollars...
Was considered less?
"Of course, the school knows about your situation. Your grades have always been a role model for the whole school, so the school made an exception for you. You can go for free!"
When Mr. Carter said this, he was obviously very excited.
For free!
This was an extremely rare chance!
Five days...
Rosa then looked at the teacher and said with a smile, "Thank you for kind offer, Mr. Carter. However, I don't plan to go!"
"Why? This is an extremely rare chance. Not to mention whether you can go in the future, you should take advantage of this free trip to expand your horizons!"
Mr. Carter liked this student very much.
Because she had always given him something to brag about with her outstanding rersults.
Therefore, he still hoped that she could participate in this group event.
"Mr. Carter, you know about my situation. Six days and five nights are too long. I'm worried about my brother!"
"Uh... don't you have any relatives? You can ask them to take care of him instead. This opportunity is really rare!"
Relatives...
As soon as she thought of what had happened last time, her heart sank.
"Thank you, Mr. Carter. There's no need!"
Seeing this, Mr. Carter frowned and said, "Are you sure? Because today we're booking the hotels. If you change your mind later, we won't be able to help."
"Thank you. I really don't need it!" Rosa thanked her again.
Seeing this, Mr. Carter sighed helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then you can come to school next Monday after the Autumn trip!"
Today was Thursday.
Her two-day leave lasted until Friday.
They'll be heading off this weekend and will return next Saturday.
Therefore, she could just return to school on Monday after next week.
"Okay, thank you, teacher!"
She had about ten days off school.
This was a good thing for her.
She was worried that he would come back for her after two days.
This was great. They won't see each other for seven or eight days.
At that time, he would probably forget about her!
After asking for leave, she didn't stay any longer.
She immediately went to Silver Beach apartment and packed up her things.
There weren't many things for her to pack up.
A cheap bag was enough for her to fit in everything.
As for Cecil's stuff, she packed it with the suitcase she had bought before.
Then, she went downstairs and took a taxi.
She placed everything in her new house.
Then, she went to the hospital.
"Mr. Lewis didn't come today?" The doctor looked around but did not see Henry and was a little confused.
"Oh, he's on a business trip. He'll be in R City for two days!"
The doctor nodded.
