Chapter 118 Cecil Can Walk
Three days later...
Rosa was taking deep breaths as she stood in front of her front door.
She didn't know how to face Cecil after not seeing him for three days.
She didn't know how to explain.
After all, Cecil seemed to be not very satisfied with them together.
"Don't worry about it. Denny did a great job."
His words were still lingering in her ears.
"That's right, I should believe him!" She thought.
Then, she took another deep breath and opened the door with her keys.
There were fresh dishes laid out on the dining table.
Four people were eating at the table. They were stunned as soon as they turned around.
"Sister, you're back?" Cecil was surprised.
Rosa was shocked. She gave Denny and the nurse a nod. As for the man who was dressed in white, she figured he was the chef.
"Miss Lopez, why didn't you give me a call when you came back? I would've arranged a ride." Denny stood up hurriedly and apologized.
Rosa hurriedly said, "It's fine, Uncle Denny. Uh... Henry said that you can send those two back after the meal!"
Denny was only stunned for a second before he came back to his senses.
"Alright. You must've not eaten yet. I'll get a fork and spoon."
"No need, I've already eaten..."
Rosa was really embarrassed to say that she had been begging him to return.
They had no choice but to come back early.
But he didn't let her go. He insisted on having dinner with her before she left.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come back so late.
Denny said in a hurry, "Er... alright. You must be tired. Have a rest."
Seeing that she was the only woman in the house, she felt a little out of place.
So she went back into her room.
An hour later...
"Knock knock knock" Someone knocked on her door.
Rosa quickly opened the door.
The living room had been cleaned up.
And they had left.
"Sister, how was Czechia?" Cecil asked hurriedly.
Rosa blushed and stammered, "Good... very nice, very beautiful..."
Cecil smiled gently as he said, "I really need to thank uncle for bringing you there. I'm really so happy for you!"
Rosa was stunned. She looked at Cecil and felt a little sad.
Her dream was to go abroad to study. Even if it couldn't happen, she had already gone abroad once.
But what about him?
Would there be a chance for him to go abroad in this life?
Moreover, they had asked about his diagnosis. The results weren't great.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Cecil looked at her with a worried look and asked hurriedly.
After coming back to her senses, Rosa squatted down and looked up at him.
"How have you been these two days?"
"I'm much better. The nurse brought me to the hospital for a checkup. I just need to keep taking the medicine." He chuckled.
Rosa felt much better after seeing his sincere smile.
The doctor said that as long as he keeps his spirit up and optimistic, it would definitely be better for his illness.
"I've been so worried about you these three days. Oh right, I heard you went to a bookstore with the nurse." Rosa smiled and asked.
Cecil was stunned and blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Uh... did the nurse tell you?" His eyes darted across the room, avoiding her gaze.
Rosa nodded and said, "He didn't say much. He just said that you liked to go to the bookstore and bought a lot of books!"
"Uh... yeah." He lowered his head and covered his blushing face.
"That's great. It's always good to read more books. By the way, I've brought you a gift!"
As she spoke, she took out a gift box from her bag.
There were several books and a lot of colourful candy inside.
Cecil was stunned. Seeing these colourful candies, he couldn't help but smile.
"Sister, I'm a grown-up already. Why are you still buying me candy?"
Rosa handed him the gift box and pushed him to his room.
"You're my little brother, after all!" She said and helped him into his room.
The next second, she looked around the room.
"It's quite clean."
Rosa had always known that he loved to be clean. So the things in his room were always arranged neatly.
But because o his legs, he couldn't mop the floor.
Therefore, in order to ensure a comfortable environment for him...
She had to mop the floor twice a day.
Unexpectedly, the room was so clean today.
"Uncle Denny was the one who mopped it..." Cecil said as if he could read her thoughts.
Rosa nodded. The next time she saw Denny, she had to thank him.
"Beep, beep, beep."
The sound of notification came from the computer.
Rosa looked over and saw his messages pop up.
Cecil coughed gently and said, "Sister, your flight was more than ten hours long. You should go rest. You have school after tomorrow."
Rosa nodded. Indeed, she had to go to school after another day.
"Then I'll take a shower and go to bed!"
She was indeed very tired and did not insist.
"Alright, go ahead!" Cecil urged her.
Rosa didn't think much about it and left.
Cecil quickly closed the door. The next second, he sighed in relief.
Then, he pushed the wheelchair to the computer and began to reply...
The next day, Rosa slept until 10 o'clock.
She was woken up by her phone.
"Alright, okay, okay," Rosa answered the phone, feeling a little confused.

FAVOURITE GAMES ON
Then, she got out of the bed to wash up.
Cecil came out and looked at her strangely. "Sister, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Rosa yawned and said, "I don't want to sleep anymore. I'm feeling much better. Uh, I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables now. Miranda and the young master will come over for a meal!" "Miranda is coming here for a meal?" Cecil asked in astonishment.
Rosa put a toothbrush in her mouth and turned to look at him. "It's Sister Miranda!"
Cecil was a little embarrassed. "Um... Is she coming over?"
Eh...
She didn't say anything about it during their conversation last night!
Rosa finished brushing her teeth and looked at him. "Yes, I'll buy some ingredients right away."
"Oh, then buy some shrimp. She likes them!" Cecil blurted out.
Rosa was stunned. She looked at him and asked, "Hm, how did you know?"
Cecil was stunned and quickly turned his head to the side. Then he frowned and stammered, "I... I have her... her Facebook, she wrote on her bio... that, that she likes to eat shrimp..."
Rosa nodded and chuckled as she said, "She likes to eat shrimp, but she doesn't like to peel them. Alright. I know, I'll go buy some!"
Cecil didn't say anything else because he was afraid that he would expose himself.
"I'll go shopping first. If they arrive, open the door for them!" Rosa didn't waste any more time and quickly went downstairs.
When she came back, Miranda was already there.
Laughter could be heard from Cecil's room from time to time.
"Miranda, you're here?" Rosa hurriedly looked over.
Miranda blushed and hurried out. "Yes, I'm here. You bought so many ingredients."
"I didn't buy too much. Some of them are spiced dishes." Rosa put the things away.
Then she went into the kitchen and started cooking.
Naturally, Miranda followed behind.
"Oh, you bought shrimp?" Miranda liked her grilled shrimp the most.
While taking care of it, Rosa answered naturally, "That's right, Cecil told me to buy some!"
Miranda was stunned. She looked at her and asked, "What did you say?"
"Cecil. He asked me to buy your favourite shrimp. He said that he saw your bio on Facebook that you liked to eat shrimp. Hehe, Miranda, why did you post that? Aren't you afraid that your chef will make you so much shrimp that you'll get sick of it?"
Miranda didn't say anything. Her gaze naturally wandered towards Cecil's room.
The young man sat in a wheelchair and smiled warmly.
He had always been patient with the talkative young master.
He was three years younger than her.
However, he seemed like he was three years older than her, which made her feel a little childish.
She had never written anywhere that she liked to eat shrimp.
She only mentioned it casually during one of their conversations.
Unexpectedly, he remembered it.
"Uh... Rosa, can I ask you a question?" Miranda leaned over.
Rosa looked at her and chuckled. "What's up? Why are you acting so secretive?"
Miranda closed the kitchen door and approached her. Then she asked in a low voice, "Can Cecil... really not walk anymore?"
Rosa's hands that were washing the shrimp paused for a moment.
She turned to look at Miranda and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Miranda frowned and said, "I just think it's strange since his legs look completely fine!"
Hearing her words, Rosa's gaze also wandered to Cecil's room.
After a while, she sighed.
"Cecil can walk." she said slowly.
Miranda was stunned. "He... can walk?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yes, he always could've walked. But ever since our parents got into that car accident, he was traumatized and could no longer walk!"
"What do you mean? What do you mean trauma?"
Miranda couldn't understand what she meant.
But what she meant was that Cecil could walk before the accident, right?
Rosa explained patiently.
It turned out that, that year, his parents were on the way taking Cecil to the hospital for a check-up...
They were driving a small car. At that time, a big truck crashed into them.
Her mother instinctively pushed him out of the car.
Both of them were pressed under the large truck and were crushed on the spot.
His father's leg was broken into two pieces right then and there.
That bloody scene was engraved into Cecil's mind.
From then on, he could no longer walk.
Miranda's tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. "Then why don't you help him?"
Rosa shook her head and said, "I've tried a lot of methods, but none of them worked. The doctor said that this was a mental illness. Unless he cures it himself, no one could help him..."
After that, Rosa sighed and began to cook.
Miranda didn't say anything and just leaned against the wall.
She looked at Cecil.
That time, he was so young. Facing both of his parents' death at that age...
It destroyed him mentally and physically.
That was how his heart disease worsened!
Now, that boy had become such an outstanding young man.
He was beautiful and elegant.
These words were an understatement.
He was so incredible, although he had never gone to school.
But the character he creates seemed so real.
If such a great young man is never able to stand up again...
It would've been a shame.
At this moment, she secretly made up her mind.
She wanted to help him.
That's right. She wanted to help him stand up again.
No matter what it took!☐☐☐
