Chapter 393


    The next day. Ava went to Sapphire City University as usual. She had sent a message to Frank the


    previous night, asking him to go back early this morning, emphasizing that he did not need toe to


    see her off


    Frank agreed.


    Ava did not want Frank to neglect his responsibilities for her sake like a king skipping his levee and


    bing sluggish. In her eyes. Frank had always been clear-headed, and she liked his


    straightforwardness and rity.


    The driver took Ava to school in a low-key car every day to avoid attention. The car would stop at the


    entrance of the school, and Ava would get out. However, unlike her usual habit of entering the school


    gate immediately, she looked around for a while before finally entering this day.


    In a corner in the distance, Frank sat in the car, recording a video of the youngdy’s actions. Watching


    her, his heart ached even more. His girl was suppressing her emotions and feeling ufortable


    alone.


    How could he make her feel better?


    He stayed still for a very long time, smoking half a pack of cigarettes until his phone rm rang for the


    time to go to the airport.


    After finishing thest cigarette, he finally drove away.


    At Athana Hospital. N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Today, Natalie was having lunch at the cafeteria with Rose and Sherri. The reason was simple, they


    wanted to eat the pizza there. It was not the typical pizza from a random pizza shop.


    The cafeteria provided a diverse selection of pizzas with unique vors that were rarely found in the


    market. You could choose your preferred toppings, and the tastes were all good. This was what Natalie


    would like to try, and Rose had no objections to anything that the two pregnant women wanted.


    “Oh my god, this is really tasty. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? When I saw this, I thought it would not


    taste good, but I was so wrong. Rose said while eating, regretting not buying it earlier.


    Sherri picked up a piece of pepperoni on the pizza. Are you silly? If you want to know what’s good to


    eat in this cafeteria, you should have asked us. We have tried out all the other cafeterias. It’s just that


    Natalie is too shy to join me in cafeteria hopping


    Natalie picked up a piece of sliced tomato and blew on it. Are you serious? You keep going to the


    cafeteria in the inpatient department instead of ours.”


    “But many of their dishes are really good! Have you noticed that our cafeteria’s food has improved a lot


    recently? Did the director suddenly get rich?”


    Naturally, Natalie had noticed this too. The taste had changed. Every time Rose helped bring back


    food, it tasted great. Natalie would end up eating more than usual.


    Rose replied. “Hey, we’re the ones who get to enjoy the delicious food. Let’s just eat and be content.


    Have these dishes. always been avable?”


    Natalie confirmed. “They did not have these dishes before, but they have started offering them recently.


    I heard it from the nurses at the front desk. I was curious and wanted to give them a try since I was


    craving something


    When Sherri mentioned that the taste in the cafeteria was different, Natalie had a thought in her mind.


    She wondered if her spection was correct.


    The food was so good that even Sherri was full. Natalie still had her usual appetite. After finishing, the


    three of them did not leave, sitting there to rest.


    Rose was full too. She propped her chin up with her hand, ncing at Natalie and then at Sherri With a


    bit of hesitation. she licked her lips and finally spoke, “I have a profound question for you guys”


    Sherri replied casually. “Go ahead, why the preamble?”


    Natalie nodded in agreement. They both preferred straightforward people, without any pretense.


    Rose was still a bit embarrassed, her ears slightly tinged with a blush. After spending so much time


    together, this was the first time the others had seen her shy like this.


    There was a brief pause before Rose gathered her words and lowered her voice. “Have you ever had


    sex dreams?”


    As Sherri was taking a sip of water, she immediately sprayed it out, sttering droplets onto Natalie’s


    white coat across from her.


    Natalie quickly pulled out a tissue and tossed the whole pack to Sherri, saying. “If you were not


    pregnant today, I would throw you on the ground”


    She began wiping her clothes, there were droplets all over from the water that Sherri had sprayed.


    Sherri giggled, finding the topic too sudden. “It’s not my fault, me Rose. Just listeri to the kind of


    question she asked.


    Getting anxious, Rose snapped, “Can we still chat as usual, or are you both trying to end our


    friendship?” Her threatcked. any real anger, as she herself felt quite embarrassed about it.


    Never having had sex dreams before, she had a dreamst night where she was kissing a guy,


    Shockingly, the guy turned out to be Edward. This was almost too much to handle.


    After Natalie finished wiping, she looked up at the shy Rose, finding her adorable. “Are you simply


    thinking about men for sex, or are you thinking about being in love? Her words were straightforward to


    the point of bluntness.


    Surrounded by couples, even Frank was in one. Rose could not help but want to experience it,


    especially after being exposed to so much couple affection. It was inevitable for her to be curious and


    want to try it herself. Perfectly normal. ording to Natalie’s interpretation.


    Sherri, at this moment, propped herself up on the table, attentive. “Exactly, tell us. We experienced


    people will help you. analyze whether you have fallen for someone, thinking about him all day and


    night


    It could not be her brother, could it?


    For a brief moment, Rose regretted sharing this topic with them. These two were not here to solve the


    issue, they were thoroughly enjoying gossip. “It was just a kissing dream. I did not… I did not see the


    guy’s face clearly”


    After hearing Rose’s words, Sherri intnediately concluded. “Well, that means you’re thinking about guys


    and wanting to have a rtionship.”


    She also confirmed that the guy in Rose’s dream was not her brother, leaving Sherri a bit


    disappointed.


    Natalie picked up on the hesitation in Rose’s words and was sure Rose knew who the guy in the dream


    was, but did not


    want to say it


    Natalie skipped the topic. “Have you figured it out then? Is it your subconscious thinking about that


    person?”


    Sherri chimed in. ‘Are you silly? She said she did not see the guy clearly. That just means she’s in the


    mood of having sex.


    Natalie thought to herself without replying, “I think it’s you who’s being silly”


    Rose continued to ask, “Have you both experienced this?”


    Sherri admitted straightforwardly. “Of course. Alter I had sex with Hackett, I missed it for a while. When


    I was pregnant, I even dreamt about having sex with him a few times


    Natalie was speechless once again.


    Rose also remained silent and thought to herself, “Actually, there is no need to be so straightforward. I


    am still an innocent. girl”


    Seeing the stunned expressions on their faces, Sherri shook her head in disbelief. “Seriously, you guys


    why feel embarrassed as we are all women? Many of the doctors in our department who assist with


    childbirth are male. Right. Natalie? You must have had these kinds of dreams too.”


    The topic briefly shifted to Natalie. Yes, she had experienced it too, while pregnant. She cleared her


    throat and calmly said, I had it once


    Sherri was smug this time. “See, see. I told you it is normal”


    “You think it’s normal? Then why did you spray water?’ Natalie nced at her white coat, adorned with


    numerous irregr


    Watermarks.


    “Hey, it’s not like I had time to react. But now that you put it that way. I’m curious about the guy in


    Rose’s dream Sherri’s face was full of gossip.


    Rose used her ss to hide her face. ‘I feel reassured hearing you both say that. I thought there was


    something twisted in my mind. If everyone experiences it, then it means I’m normal too, right?”


    “Of course, guys also have sex dreams, it’s normal. And it’s partly because you specialize in pediatrics


    and probably aren’t Lamiliar with these matters. I’ll give you a crash course in gynecologyter”


    Rose did not reply, as she thought the crash course was not necessary. After the dream, she did some


    online research and found that many people have experienced this. She just wanted to confirm its


    authenticity by asking her two friends. At the vi of the Roberts family.


    After finishing dinner, Rose went upstairs. She was very quiet, and the calmness puzzled even her


    parents.


    Sitting on the couch, William was concerned. He turned to look at the stairs and noticed that his


    daughter’s room was still very quiet, without the usual sound of pop music. His worried expression


    deepened. “Grace, could our daughter be upset. about something? She did not say a word after


    It was a little abnormal to be too quiet.


    Grace did not think much of it. Her daughter was grown up now, and she would share her happy or


    unhappy moments when she felt like it. If not, she would find a quiet corner to deal with it on her own


    “Don’t worry unnecessarily. Rose is already an adult.”


    “I’m just worried she’s not happy”


    William smiled tteringly, and as he spoke, Frank walked in with a bag in hand. He did not seem like


    someone who had just returned from a trip.


    William called out to him, “You didn’t bring clothes?”


    Frank lifted the clothes in his hand. ‘Aren’t these clothes?”


    The trip to Sapphire City was veryst-minite, and he indeed did not bring any clothes. On the night he


    arrived, he casually bought two simple outfits at a nearby shopping mall. He changed out of them and


    brought them back with him.


    Seeing her son’s repeated trips, Grace sensed that he was tired. Her tone remained neutral, saying,


    “Have you decided on the engagement date?”


    “Yeah,” Frank replied simply


    William wanted to ask about the specific date, but Frank had already decided to go straight upstairs. “I’ll


    take a shower. I’ll be going to the pier tomorrow.”


    Grace replied softly. “Alright, that’s fine.


    “Check on Rose in her room. She went to her room right after dinner and it’s been very quiet. Go and


    see if she’s upset about something.” William called out to Frank’s departing figure.


    Themunication between the two siblings was much simpler than dealing with an old father like him


    due to their simr ages. So, this task was assigned to Frank.


    Upon hearing this, Frank’s first thought was that Rose was up to something. He furrowed his brows


    slightly. “She’s probably asleep.”


    Frank did not immediately head to Rose’s room. Instead, he went to his own room, put his things in the


    washing machine, and then sent a message to Ava. [Baby Ava, I’m home.)


    Ava was probably waiting for his message, as she replied instantly. That’s good. Focus on your work


    and don’t miss me too much.]


    What Frank did not know was that Ava was sending these messages with teary eyes, He replied, [I


    miss you a lot. Wait for me.]


    Ava texted. [Alright, I’ll allow you to miss me a lot.)


    Frank wanted to tell her not to cry, but eventually, he deleted the sentence and texted. (Alright. Get rest


    early.1


    Ava replied. Ok, Frank. Are you going to the pier for work tomorrow?]


    Frank replied. Yeah, to work and earn money to support you]


    Ava sent a bashful emoji. In reality, she had already started crying but she managed to hide it in her


    words. She continued using her usual lively tone. I’ll be waiting I’ll be waiting for you to support me.)


    In fact, what she wanted to send was “Marry me.” After a moment’s hesitation, she changed her mind.


    Frank replied, [OK]
