Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 89

Grace could feel that Rosa was absent-minded.

She shrugged and lifted her hair as she said, "I've been busy these days and didn't have time to see you. Why didn't you call me?"

Rosa looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. Something came up recently, I was too busy."

"Something came up? What happened?" Grace asked in a hurry.

Rosa didn't tell him that she was kidnapped and broke up with Mr. Wright.

However, she talked about Cecil.

"Oh my god, how did it happen? I'm sorry. I really didn't know that you called me. I didn't even get your call!" Grace explained anxiously.

"It's alright. It's already settled..."

"I'm sorry, I really don't know. Miranda helped you, didn't she? I'm really sorry!" Grace apologized frantically.

Seeing this, Rosa stopped explaining further.

"Rosa, don't stay there anymore. What if something happens to you? Hurry up and find a better place to move into!" Grace said hurriedly.

"Yeah, I know that." Rosa lowered her head and drank tea.

At this time, the waiter brought a lot of food over.

"Are you short of money? I have money. I can lend some to you. Is 20,000 dollars enough?"

Rosa looked up at her and shook her head. "There's no need, I... I found a place already."

"Really? Where is it?"

"Well..." Rosa frowned and did not know how to explain.

She didn't want to hide the fact that she's living in Silver Beach.

But Miranda mentioned that the rent from that place was worth at least 10,000 dollars.

Grace would definitely ask about it.

She was afraid. She didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with that man.

Of course, she wasn't quite sure what their relationship was.

"Ring ring ring..."Just as she was at a loss for words, Grace's phone started ringing.

Grace looked at the caller's name, raised her head and gave Rosa a glance before she went aside to answer the call.

A few minutes later...

"Haha, my boyfriend is... quite clingy!" Grace sat down and explained with a smile.

Rosa kept eating and did not reply her.

Grace felt a little awkward.

"Grace, did you bring grandma back home?" Rosa looked up at her and asked.

Since she was living such a good life now, she should naturally bring her grandmother home to celebrate. 

Grace was stunned for a while before nodding.

"Really? Where do you live? I'll go and visit her this week!" Rosa was a little excited.

Although it was Grace's grandmother.

But she grew up with Grace, and her grandmother treated her very well.

"Um... Don't worry about her. Grandma lives well now. When I brought her home, I took her to the hospital for a check-up!"

"Great! Grandma is still healthy, isn't she?"

"Yeah, she's from the countryside and was a hard worker, so her body is still really healthy!"

"That's great. Grandma is a good person. Heavens will definitely grant her good health. Well, Grace, my brother might be able to be discharged from the hospital in two days. If his condition is okay, let's take them out for a walk!" Rosa suggested.

She hadn't taken Cecil out for a long time.

Of course, Cecil didn't like going out either.

But just like her, Cecil liked her grandmother.

He wouldn't refuse.

Grace frowned and didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Rosa asked in confusion, "Is it inconvenient?"

"No, it's just..."

Seeing that she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought, Rosa couldn't help but frown.

"But what?" She thought.

After a while, Grace looked up at her and said, "Okay, let's take them out for a walk on Saturday!"

"Okay!" Rosa finally sighed in relief.

However, she didn't notice the frown on Grace's face.

After dinner, Rosa said that she wanted to take the bus back.

Grace couldn't win against her, so she could only let it be.

They told each other that they would meet on Saturday, and then they parted ways.

———————

Because she could see Grace's grandmother, Rosa was in a particularly good mood.

When she arrived at the hospital, she told Cecil about it.

Hearing this, Cecil was also happy.

It was rare for him to be willing to go out with her.

This was a good thing for her.

After that, she went to ask the doctor about Cecil's condition.

But the doctor said that he was not suitable to be discharged for the time being.

It was not suitable for him to go out and play.

For the sake of his health, he needed to stay in the hospital.

Rosa was a little disappointed by the news.

However, she was more worried about his body, so she respected the doctor's decision.

When Cecil heard the news, he didn't react much.

It seemed that he had gotten used to it.

Rosa's heart broke seeing that how mature Cecil had grown to be.

"Sister, it's okay. In fact, it's not convenient for me to go out..."

"Cecil..." Rosa frowned.

"It's just... it's a little sad that I don't get to see grandma, but it's okay. I still have a chance to meet her in the future. Sister, don't bring grandma here. She's old, it's better if she doesn't come!"

"Cecil..."

"Sister, when you see grandma, just say that I don't want to go out, don't say that I am staying at the hospital!"

He didn't want the people who cared about him to worry.

Rosa looked at him, looking obviously sad.

She frowned as her heart wrenched. "Okay, I will help you!"

In fact, she could ask Henry for help.

He must have a way to let Cecil go out for a day.

But she didn't want to bother him, and she knew that his physical condition was not suitable.

The doctor had just said that Cecil shouldn't be too fatigued.

He needed to rest and have daily check-ups.

She could only ignore the disappointment in his eyes.

"It's okay, Cecil. You can leave the hospital soon. Grace has brought grandma back to the city. It's more convenient for us to meet up with her. Let's ask grandma to come to our home for dinner next time!" Rosa said hurriedly.

"Okay!" Cecil nodded with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, this is your iPad. I brought it for you. I'm afraid that you'll be bored in the hospital!" Rosa handed the tablet to him.

The hospital nowadays are very advanced, there were internet everywhere.

"That's amazing, sister! I was just worrying about how to ask you about it!" Cecil was very happy to get his iPad.

Seeing this, Rosa sighed in relief.

Three days later...

In the past three days, her schedule was quite repetitive.

Went to school, hospital, and Silver Beach.

As for that man, no one knew what he was busy with.

In the past three days, he had only been back for one night.

For the other times, he was too busy to be seen.

Later, Miranda said that her grandfather seemed to be in poor health these days.

Her uncle and the others were kept at home by Grandma every day and were not allowed to go out.

Rosa understood his situation and felt strangely empty.

Relying on someone was something she was afraid of.

Rosa didn't think too much about it.

Instead, she caught up with her schoolwork and spent all her time with Cecil every day.

That morning, she went to the hospital early in the morning.

She first went to see Cecil and brought him a few books.

Then, they arrived at the meeting place with Grace.

At about nine o'clock, Grace arrived in her car.

Rosa immediately tiptoed to look.

The car came to a stop.

Rosa immediately ran over and opened the back door.

"Grandma!" Rosa called out sweetly.

"Ah!" Grace's grandmother answered her loudly.

Rosa hurriedly sat down.

It had been a long time. Grace's grandmother's short hair had turned whiter. Her eyes were deeply sunken which made Rosa a little heartbroken.

"Rosa, grandma finally got to see you!" Grace's grandmother immediately held her hand and said excitedly.

Rosa could feel that her rough hands were filled with protruding blood vessels, and her face was full of wrinkles.

For a moment, she felt very sad.

"Grandma, I missed you so much!"

"Okay, okay!" Grace's grandmother's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Grace looked behind and said, "Let's go somewhere!"

"Okay!" Rosa replied, then looked at Grace's grandmother and had a chat with her.

Along the way, Grace's grandmother kept asking her if she was doing well.

"How was Cecil? Why didn't he come?" She asked.

Rosa patiently answered her questions one by one, even though sometimes the old lady repeated some questions several times.

But she still answered her patiently.

Grace's grandmother held her hand and looked very happy.

Soon, they arrived at a scenic area.

Grace parked the car and started to accompany her grandmother to the scenic area.

They got on the cable car and looked at the scenery. There were animals and a variety of flowers.

After all, Grace's grandmother was in her 80s. It would be a little hard for her to walk for a long time.

Seeing that it was getting late, Rosa said to Grace, "Let's find a place to rest and buy something to eat. Grandma seems a little tired!"

Grace looked at her grandmother and nodded. "Let's go. There's a restaurant over there. Let's go eat!"

Rosa didn't refuse. She helped Grace's grandmother enter the restaurant.

Grace's grandmother tugged on Grace's arm and frowned. "Grace, let's buy some instant noodles. The food here is too expensive!"

"Grandma, I have the money!" Grace was a little unhappy. Because of her words, the waiters all looked at them.

Rosa quickly comforted her. "It's fine, grandma. The prices are all like this here. Let's eat here once. I'll bring you to eat some local dishes in the evening. It tastes good and it's cheap!"

Grace's grandmother nodded and said, "Okay. Let's not eat here tonight."

"Grandma!" Grace raised her voice.

Rosa frowned and looked at Grace. "Alright, take care of grandma. I'll go order!"

"No need! Just keep an eye on her!" Grace frowned and went to order.

Rosa looked at Grace's grandmother with a trace of embarrassment and comforted her. "Grandma, it's alright. Grace had been like this since she was a child!"

Grace's grandmother looked at Rosa and took her hand. Her eyes suddenly dimmed. "Rosa... I want to go home..."

"Go home? Why? Grace spent a lot of effort to bring you here. Haven't you always wanted to be together with Grace?" Rosa frowned and didn't understand.

Grace's grandmother lowered her head. She looked as if she'd been through a lot, which made Rosa's heart wrench.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Rosa noticed that something was wrong. She took her hand and asked carefully, "Is your place not comfortable?"

"The place is nice, the food is nice, and there's a lot of company, but..."

She looked up at her and sighed helplessly. "But I don't want to live in the old folks' home!"

Rosa was speechless.
