Chapter 255 Her Savior


    All of a sudden, everyone fell silent. As they watched Mark walk over, nobody dared to open their


    mouths.


    The staff persuaded everyone to leave. Slowly, Rose tried to regain herposure. However, she felt


    frightened as she remembered what they had said.


    She was so upset that she lowered her head in shame. Seeing this, Mark walked over to her.


    "Are you okay?" he asked gently with an apparent concern as he stood by Rose''s side.


    "Yes." It was not until then that Rose realized that he was here.


    Apparently, Mark was the one who stopped the gossip before it spread like wildfire. She looked at him


    with shining eyes as if he was her savior.


    "That''s good then. Let''s go. I''ll take you to rest," he said.


    As Mark spoke, he stretched out his hand and looked at Rose while smiling. His gentleness seemed to


    have the power to solve all problems and ease her mind.


    At that very moment, Rose realized that her heart had beenpletely captured by him. She fell


    stunned and silent for a moment. Slowly, she reached out for his hand. Her eyes glistened at the same


    time.


    The darkness faded gradually, and the light of the dawn crept inch by inch. The light diluted the starless


    night, giving off a beautiful hue of yellow and blue.


    Waking up after a good night''s sleep, Anne slowly opened her eyes, a slight dull pain emanated in her


    ear.


    She raised her head and saw Kevin. The sight of him made her heart sank. It took quite some time


    before she calmed down.


    Did she sleep herest night?


    Looking at Kevin, he seemed to be in a very ufortable position. Because Anne could not bear to


    leave him like that, she righted his body before leaving quietly. She did not want him to know that she


    cared about him so much.


    However, as she was about to touch the doorknob, she heard a gasp from behind.


    She turned around right away and asked in a worried tone, "Are you okay?"


    Although Anne was sincerely worried, her words had somehow stiffness in it. Kevin was about to


    answer her question, but stopped on a second thought. The way he looked at Anne was pitiful, which


    confused her.


    "I''m fine," he answered stiffly after swallowing hard.


    On the other hand, Anne did not believe him at all. "What the hell is going on? If you don''t tell me, I''ll


    ask Sam toe."


    Her threat seemed to have an impact on him so he immediately shook his head in refusal. "No, no, no.


    I''ll be fine in a minute."


    "Fine." Anne stared at him ferociously and finally walked out. When she was out of the door, she shut


    the door behind her heavily and with a loud bang. She looked furious as she marched out, and Kevin


    could not help but smile helplessly.


    Five minutester, the door opened again and Sam entered. Behind him was Anne, who still had an


    angry look in her eyes.


    "Kevin, what''s wrong with you? Why are you extremely unlucky recently?" asked Sam teasingly.


    "Cut the crap. Just get out of here," said Kevin in an annoyed voice. He was always rude to Sam, and


    today was not an exception.


    "I heard that something hurt?" retorted Sam while grinning, a hint of schadenfreude was apparent in his


    eyes.


    "No." Kevin was aware that if Sam knew that he had a sore shoulder , he would definitelyugh at him.


    "I see," murmured Sam slowly.


    To everyone''s surprise, Sam suddenly touched Kevin''s shoulder, which made thetter wince and


    groan in pain.


    Kevin hated him so much as he tortured him in every way he could. Sam twisted his sore arm hard that


    the pain was overwhelming. Kevin made a mental note to himself that he would take revenge on him in


    the future.


    "Oh, he''s really fine," remarked Sam while patting Anne''s shoulder.


    Anne did not believe his words. "How could it be possible? He looked in pain just now."


    "Well, that must be because he has been in the same position for a long time, and his muscles have


    gotten sore. It doesn''t matter. He will recover soon."


    Hearing Sam''s response, her face turned a shade of red instantly.


    Of course she knew the reason why Kevin was injured. Although it was not written across her face, she


    felt sorry for him. She stole a nce at him, but he was already looking at her with a smile.


    Embarrassed, she lowered her head.


    "That''s probably true. Let''s go, Sam." Her voice was now sweet and her smile was bright, as though


    she had not been angry few minutes ago.


    Sam knew that Anne was embarrassed. Yesterday, he was worried about Kevin''s health, so he came


    over and took a look at him. He saw them leaning against each other by ident. Interestingly, one of


    them did not want to admit her feelings, and the other did not want to lose face.


    "Well, there is a breakfast shop outside the hospital. The food there is very delicious. I''ll take you


    there," offered Sam thoughtfully.


    Finally, Kevin was alone in the ward. His eyes were unreadable and he wore a mysterious look on his


    face. He figured that Sam was getting bolder and bolder.


    "Sam, just wait and see." Kevin gnashed his teeth in anger.


    He had made up his mind to make Sam suffer his wrath.


    Meanwhile, the aroma of fresh food and coffee enveloped the breakfast shop.


    The shop was small and clean. They had fresh flowers as their centerpiece atop each table. It was so


    fresh that the petals of the flowers even had dew droplets.


    "So beautiful!" With a wide smile, Anne looked around the shop with awe. Her eyes blinked several


    times, unable to register the beauty inside.


    "I just found it. I seldom have breakfast, you know. Emily brought me once for breakfast, and I must


    admit that this ce is indeed astounding," remarked Sam gently.


    Anne smiled in response. She knew that Sam had fallen in love with Emily. The way he mentioned her


    name was different and he looked very happy.


    "Well, Emily is a good girl. It''s sad though that I haven''t seen her for a long time."


    Recently, Anne had been too busy that she could not see Emily. She wondered how she was doing.


    However, when Anne mentioned her, the expression on Sam''s face changed.


    "Is something wrong with Emily?" she asked worriedly.


    "Nothing significant," he answered subconsciously. He did not want Anne to worry about her.


    But Anne knew that Sam was not telling the truth. When he spoke, his eyes were full of uncontroble


    worry that she could not shrug off.


    "What happened? If you don''t tell me, I''ll investigate it. You''d better tell me now," she said firmly.


    Hearing this, Sam heaved a deep sigh. "I just don''t want you to worry about her. If you really want to


    know, I will tell you. I also don''t want to keep you in the dark. There is something wrong with the


    business of Emily''s family. Her father is recuperating abroad, so she has to solve this by herself. She is


    out of the country now."


    "Then why don''t you help her?" Anne asked in confusion.


    "You think I don''t want to?" he answered helplessly with a sigh.


    "Of course, I tried. I wanted to help her, but she refused my offer. She told me that she wanted to solve


    her family affairs alone. That''s why I could not interfere with her work."


    Hearing this, Anne fell silent in surprise.


    She had always thought that Emily was an innocent, lovely and unrestrained girl. But in reality, she had


    a lot of ideas in her mind and was hardworking. That was the reason why Sam fell in love with her.


    Anyone who had been with Emily for a long time would definitely like her.


    "Well, I hope you can get married as soon as possible when shees back. That way she can''t


    refuse your help,"forted Anne.


    "I just hope that she won''t suffer too much when she solves the family affairs on her own for the first


    time." When Sam spoke, his eyes were full of concern for Emily.


    "You''re right." Anne nodded in agreement.


    Her worried look made Samugh. "Anne, you know others well, but you still don''t know yourself."


    "How could you say so?" Anne asked in confusion after bringing a spoonful of warm porridge to her


    mouth.


    "I''m afraid that Kevin will be angryter," remarked Sam.


    "I know, but what does it have to do with me?" She pretended not to care about it.


    "Anne, stop being pretentious. I know you have feelings for Kevin," said Sam seriously while staring at


    her expectantly.


    "To be honest, I don''t know what to do. Even if I admit that I still like him, so what? It''s impossible for


    me to be with him now." She was still holding a grudge against him.


    "If that''s the case, I understand what you mean. Nobody can force you anyway. Do whatever you want


    to do. As for Kevin, it''s good to let him suffer more. He has never failed and probably has never been


    hurt in love. So, don''t let him go so easily," he replied in a yful manner.


    In the ward.


    The curtains had been drawn back and the sunlight flooded in.


    Although the room was bright and lively, the atmosphere was not. Sitting at the edge of the bed, Kevin


    sat with a long face. He felt neglected and abandoned deep inside.


    An hour had already passed, and yet he still could not calm himself down. On the contrary, he was


    getting angrier by the minute.


    "Dad." A boy suddenly spoke with a soft voice.


    Kevin''s gloom aura dissipated a little upon hearing the little boy''s voice. He looked at his own son with


    pity.


    "Mr. Kevin, I haven''t found the baby''s mother, so I took him here to see you. Your allergies are over.


    You can hold him now," the nurse informed him while smiling.

    Kevin took Eddy from her hand, and the gloom on his face faded a little.


    "I''ll go to another ward. Please take care of him," asked the nurse.


    When the nurse had left, Kevin touched Eddy''s fist and said gloomily, "Eddy, your uncle took your


    mother away."


    Eddy was too young to understand what he meant. Instead of being sad at the news, he put on an


    unceasing smile. His innocence made Kevin feel even more depressed. "Why should I tell you this?


    You don''t understand anyway."


    He put Eddy on hisp and gazed at the sky outside the window.


    Eddy somehow looked like Kevin. Looking at the bright and warm light of the morning, one of them


    wore a frown, while the other was smiling.


    He felt sorry for himself. He felt pathetic that he could not even bring the boy''s mother back to him. He


    wondered if Eddy wouldugh at him when he grew up.


    Thinking of this, he felt even more upset and frustrated.
