Chapter 48: Feel Awful!
Chapter 48: Feel Awful!
"How are you feeling now, mom?" Rose sat at her mother’s bedside, massaging her hands gently. She saw her face still pale, and her lips looked so dry.
"Feel awful! I wish the doctor would give me a pain killer...." After the anesthetic slowly disappears, she can feel her chest area hurt.
"You have to endure it, mom, and eat a lot. Earlier, the doctor said that if your condition improves, then 3 or 4 days from now, you can go home..." Rose knew her mother did not like staying in the hospital. So is she.
"I wish... I only stayed here for 2 nights. It feels more comfortable sleeping in my bed." Molly smiled bitterly. She hates hospitals, but now she has no choice. She must stay here until her health improves.
"Daughter, when is your final test?" Molly suddenly remembers her thesis test.
"The day after tomorrow... Mom, you’d better stay here while I have my thesis trial. You can go home until I’m done." Rose was worried about leaving her mother alone in the house when she wasn’t strong enough to be left alone. Moreover, her mother is so active. If she leaves her alone at home, her mother may go to her minimart to supervise her employee.
"We will see later, Rose. Now, you wash first... How could you look ugly?" Molly couldn’t believe how messy her little daughter looked now.
"Looks like you’re still under anesthesia, mom!" Rose chuckled, hearing her mother’s words.
"I’m not! My chest feels so hurt..."
"Really!?" Rose faintly smiled when she looked at her mother’s nod. She continues her words, "But why earlier did you talk nonsense!? How could your pretty daughter turn ugly?" She rolls her eyes as she feels betrayed by her mother. Gosh!
"Hahaha, you silly girl! Well, you better go look in the mirror..." Molly laughs, looking at her sulky little daughter.
Rose was confused to see her mother look serious. She thought her mother was just joking. Was what she said true?
Rose went to the toilet in a hurry, and she was surprised to see the woman in the mirror.
"W-WHO are you?" Rose asked herself.
She was shocked looking at her appearance in the mirror. Then Rose remembers Evan. All this time, she was with Evan. He must have seen her awful face, right?
Gosh! Her pale face looked oily like someone poured canola oil on her face, her eyes were puffy, and her hair was messy. Not only that but the clothes she was wearing were already shabby. If people didn’t know her and saw her appearance now, they might think she hadn’t showered in two weeks. No wonder her mom said that she looked so ugly.
"Damn! How can I be like this?"
Rose took a deep sigh.
"I’m screwed! How could Evan still call me pretty?" Rose immediately undressed and took a quick shower.
She must wash and change her clothes before meeting Steve Adkins. Rose is imagining if Steve had seen her messy appearance earlier. In that case, he might think Rose was bullshitting him and would not be interested in her offer to acquire his company. He will run away.
"Aunty, where is Rose?" Evan didn’t see Rose in the room. Making him confused because he didn’t hear the girl coming out since he was outside.
"She’s taking a shower," Molly called Evan to sit in the chair by the bed. "Son-In-Law, thank you for your help. I know you’re the one who brought Doctor Doris to come here. You also changed my surgery schedule so it could be faster...." She was surprised when she received a phone call from the hospital informing her that the surgery could be moved forward.
Previously, it took a long time to arrange the doctors for an operation because of their busy schedule. But suddenly, she got a much earlier operating schedule. And from nurses, Molly learned that her doctor is also the best in this country. She quickly concludes that only Evan could do it. Because the only people who knew she was in surgery were herself, Rose, and Evan.
"I happen to know one of the doctors here. So, he helped me a little...." Evan couldn’t tell Molly what he was really doing. "And, I did it because you are my family, aunty. I will do whatever I do to help you and Rose."
Molly felt touched by Evan’s words. She raised her hand and took Evan’s hand.
"Once again, thank you, Son-In-Law... I am delighted that Rose found you. I hope you will always love her...." She paused to adjust her emotion, remembering how scared she was when she entered the operating room. Scary that she will never wake up again.
"Son-In-Law, Rose doesn’t have a family other than me. If something happens to me in the future, aunty leaves Rose to you. I hope you can protect her and stay beside her...." She can’t continue her words, worried that her tears will come out and make her future son-in-law uneasy.
Evan is surprised to hear Molly’s words. He feels happy because Molly entrusts her daughter to him, but deep down, he feels worried about why she is suddenly saying these kinds of comments?
"Aunty, I will definitely take care of her." Evan smiles to calm Molly. "And, aunty, you will live a very long time. And later, after I married Rose, you should stay with us...."
Molly stares at Evan in disbelief at what she hears.
Did this young man just ask her to stay at their house if he married Rose?
"Son-in-law, even though I wanted to, it felt impolite. How would your mother and father feel if they knew I was living with you? Aunty, still strong and capable... no need to think about me." Molly smiles as she is impressed with Evan’s kind attitude. She knew that his son-in-law was just making sweet talk with her.
Rose, who just came out of the bedroom seeing her mother and Evan talking heart to heart, touched her. Something she had never felt in her previous life. She never saw Dustin speak like this with her mother. That scumbag only thinks of his family, not hers.
"What are you guys talking about?" Rose walked over to them and stood by Evan’s side. She didn’t hear anything they said earlier, but Evan and her mother’s last words made her curious.
"Are you done!?" Evan stands and faces Rose. He ignores her question. "What time is your appointment with Steve Adkins?"
"7 PM! At the restaurant in front...." Rose now looks at her mother. "Mom, I’m going out for a bit to meet someone. It’s okay?"
"Sure! Many nurses can help me here...just go finish your matter." Molly reassured her daughter that she would be alright.
"Aunty, I will ask my assistant to stay in the living room. You can call him if you need anything...."
Gavin, standing in the corner of the room, immediately came forward and greeted Molly politely. "Ms. Wilson, I will stay outside. Please don’t hesitate to call if you need anything."
"Hello..." Molly smiles at him. "Please accept my in-advance apology if I will trouble you later, Mr. Gavin."
